SB55-SSA1-SA2,656,23 980.101 Reversal, vacation or setting aside of judgment relating to a sexually violent offense; effect. (1) In this section, "judgment relating to a sexually violent offense" means a judgment of conviction for a sexually violent offense, an adjudication of delinquency on the basis of a sexually violent offense, or a judgment of not guilty of a sexually violent offense by reason of mental disease or defect.

SB55-SSA1-SA2,657,6 (2) If, at any time after a person is committed under s. 980.06, a judgment relating to a sexually violent offense committed by the person is reversed, set aside, or vacated and that sexually violent offense was a basis for the allegation made in the petition under s. 980.02 (2) (a), the person may bring a motion for postcommitment relief in the court that committed the person. The court shall proceed as follows on the motion for postcommitment relief:

SB55-SSA1-SA2,657,12 (a) If the sexually violent offense was the sole basis for the allegation under s. 980.02 (2) (a) and there are no other judgments relating to a sexually violent offense committed by the person, the court shall reverse, set aside, or vacate the judgment under s. 980.05 (5) that the person is a sexually violent person, vacate the commitment order, and discharge the person from the custody or supervision of the department.

SB55-SSA1-SA2,657,21 (3) An appeal may be taken from an an order entered under sub. (2) as from a final judgment.".

SB55-SSA1-SA2,657,24 " Section 4034r. Laws of 1975, chapter 105, section 1 (1) and (2) are amended to read:

SB55-SSA1-SA2,658,17 [Laws of 1975, chapter 105] Section 1 (1) The legislature finds that the existing system of allocating aggregate property tax revenues among tax levying municipalities has resulted in significant inequities and disincentives. The cost of public works or improvements within a city or, village, or town that is located in a county that does not contain any cities or villages has been borne entirely by the city or, village, or town that is located in a county that does not contain any cities or villages, while the expansion of tax base which is stimulated, directly or indirectly, by such improvements, benefits not only the city or, village, or town that is located in a county that does not contain any cities or villages but also all municipalities which share such tax base. This situation is inequitable. Moreover, when the cost to a city or, village, or town that is located in a county that does not contain any cities or villages of a public improvement project exceeds the future benefit to the city or, village, or town that is located in a county that does not contain any cities or villages resulting therefrom, the city or, village , or town that is located in a county that does not contain any cities or villages may decide not to undertake such project. This situation has resulted in the postponement or cancellation of socially desirable projects.

SB55-SSA1-SA2,658,24 (2) The legislature further finds that accomplishment of the vital and beneficial public purposes of sections 66.405 to 66.425, 66.43, 66.431, 66.435 and 66.52 of the statutes, is being frustrated because of a lack of incentives and financial resources. The purpose of this act is to create a viable procedure by which a city or, village, or town that is located in a county that does not contain any cities or villages, through its own initiative and efforts, may finance projects which will tend to accomplish these laudable objectives.".
