AB133-SSA1,1455,1612
980.08
(6m) An order for supervised release places the person in the custody
13and control of the department.
The department shall arrange for control, care and
14treatment of the person in the least restrictive manner consistent with the
15requirements of the person and in accordance with the plan for supervised release
16approved by the court under sub. (5). A person on supervised release is subject to the
17conditions set by the court and to the rules of the department. Before a person is
18placed on supervised release by the court under this section, the court shall so notify
19the municipal police department and county sheriff for the municipality and county
20in which the person will be residing. The notification requirement under this
21paragraph subsection does not apply if a municipal police department or county
22sheriff submits to the court a written statement waiving the right to be notified. If
23the department alleges that a released person has violated any condition or rule, or
24that the safety of others requires that supervised release be revoked, he or she may
25be taken into custody under the rules of the department. The department shall
1submit a statement showing probable cause of the detention and a petition to revoke
2the order for supervised release to the committing court and the regional office of the
3state public defender responsible for handling cases in the county where the
4committing court is located within
48 72 hours after the detention
, excluding
5Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays. The court shall hear the petition within 30
6days, unless the hearing or time deadline is waived by the detained person. Pending
7the revocation hearing, the department may detain the person in a jail or in a
8hospital, center or facility specified by s. 51.15 (2). The state has the burden of
9proving by clear and convincing evidence that any rule or condition of release has
10been violated, or that the safety of others requires that supervised release be
11revoked. If the court determines after hearing that any rule or condition of release
12has been violated, or that the safety of others requires that supervised release be
13revoked, it may revoke the order for supervised release and order that the released
14person be placed in an appropriate institution until the person is discharged from the
15commitment under s. 980.09 or until again placed on supervised release under
s.
16980.08 this section.

8discharged under s. 980.09, the department shall conduct an examination of his or
9her mental condition within 6 months after an initial commitment under s. 980.06
10and again thereafter at least once each 12 months for the purpose of determining
11whether the person has made sufficient progress
to be entitled to transfer to a less
12restrictive facility, to for the court to consider whether the person should be placed
13on supervised release or
to discharge discharged. At the time of a reexamination
14under this section, the person who has been committed may retain or
, if he or she is
15indigent and so requests, seek to have the court

a qualified expert or a
16professional person to examine him or her an examiner as provided under s. 980.03

(1) Any person who is committed
to institutional care under s. 980.06
20may petition the committing court to modify its order by authorizing supervised
21release if at least
6 18 months have elapsed since the initial commitment order was
22entered
, or at least 6 months have elapsed since the most recent release petition was
23denied or the most recent order for supervised release was revoked. The director of
24the facility at which the person is placed may file a petition under this subsection on
25the person's behalf at any time.

(3) Within 20 days after receipt of the petition, the court shall appoint
3one or more examiners having the specialized knowledge determined by the court to
4be appropriate, who shall examine the person and furnish a written report of the
5examination to the court within 30 days after appointment. The examiners shall
6have reasonable access to the person for purposes of examination and to the person's
7past and present treatment records, as defined in s. 51.30 (1) (b), and patient health
8care records, as provided under s. 146.82 (2) (c). If any such examiner believes that
9the person is appropriate for supervised release
under the criterion specified in sub.
10(4), the examiner shall report on the type of treatment and services that the person
11may need while in the community on supervised release.
The county shall pay the
12costs of an examiner appointed under this subsection as provided under s. 51.20 (18)
