12(2) The
court department shall apply the criteria for consideration of residence
13and physical presence under sub. (1) to the facts that existed on the date that the

1(2) If, at any time after a person is committed under s. 980.06, a judgment
2relating to a sexually violent offense committed by the person is reversed, set aside,
3or vacated and that sexually violent offense was a basis for the allegation made in
4the petition under s. 980.02 (2) (a), the person may bring a motion for
5postcommitment relief in the court that committed the person. The court shall
6proceed as follows on the motion for postcommitment relief:
SB55-SSA1-CA1,1003,127

8980.02 (2) (a) and there are no other judgments relating to a sexually violent offense
9committed by the person, the court shall reverse, set aside, or vacate the judgment
10under s. 980.05 (5) that the person is a sexually violent person, vacate the
11commitment order, and discharge the person from the custody or supervision of the
12department.
SB55-SSA1-CA1,1003,1913
(b) If the sexually violent offense was the sole basis for the allegation under s.
14980.02 (2) (a) but there are other judgments relating to a sexually violent offense
15committed by the person that have not been reversed, set aside, or vacated, or if the
16sexually violent offense was not the sole basis for the allegation under s. 980.02 (2)
17(a), the court shall determine whether to grant the person a new trial under s. 980.05
18because the reversal, setting aside, or vacating of the judgment for the sexually
19violent offense would probably change the result of the trial.
SB55-SSA1-CA1,1003,21
20(3) An appeal may be taken from an an order entered under sub. (2) as from
21a final judgment.".
