A motion made under this paragraph shall be filed with the circuit court for the county in which the person was convicted or found not guilty or not responsible by reason of mental disease or defect.

AB591-ASA1,5,25 (c) A person who files a motion under par. (b) shall send a copy of the motion to the district attorney for the county in which the motion is filed.

A statement under this paragraph must be relevant to whether the person satisfies the criteria specified in par. (a).

AB591-ASA1,6,21 2. If a person is examined by a physician or a psychologist under subd. 1., the physician or psychologist shall file a report of his or her examination with the court, and the court shall provide copies of the report to the person and, if he or she requests a copy, to the district attorney. The contents of the report shall be confidential until the physician or psychologist has testified at the hearing held under par. (d). The report shall contain an opinion regarding whether it would be in the interest of public protection to have the person subject to global positioning system tracking and the basis for that opinion.

A person who is examined by a physician or psychologist under subd. 1. is responsible for paying the cost of the services provided by the physician or psychologist, except that if the person is indigent the cost of the services provided by the physician or psychologist shall be paid by the county. If the person claims or appears to be indigent, the court shall refer the person to the authority for indigency determinations under s. 977.07 (1), except that the person shall be considered indigent without another determination under s. 977.07 (1) if the person is represented by the state public defender or by a private attorney appointed under s. 977.08.

Upon receiving the copy of the petition, the district attorney or, if applicable, the department of justice shall conduct a criminal history record search to determine whether the person has been convicted of a criminal offense that was committed during the period of lifetime tracking.

The physician or psychologist who conducts an examination under this paragraph shall prepare a report of his or her examination that includes his or her opinion of whether the person petitioning for termination of lifetime tracking is a danger to public. The physician or psychologist shall file the report of his or her examination with the court within 60 days after completing the examination, and the court shall provide copies of the report to the person filing the petition and the district attorney who received a copy of the person's petition under par. (c) or, if applicable, the department of justice. The contents of the report shall be confidential until the physician or psychologist testifies at a hearing under par. (g). The person petitioning for termination of lifetime tracking shall pay the cost of an examination required under this paragraph.

AB591-ASA1,10,11 (f) After it receives notification from the court under par. (d) 2., the department may prepare and submit to the court a report concerning a person who has filed a petition requesting termination of lifetime tracking. If the department prepares and submits a report under this paragraph, the report shall include information concerning the person's conduct while on lifetime tracking and an opinion as to whether lifetime tracking of the person is still necessary to protect the public. When a report prepared under this paragraph has been received by the court, the court shall, before the hearing under par.

The person who filed the petition and the district attorney who received the petition under par. (c) or, if applicable, the department of justice, may offer evidence relevant to the issue of the person's dangerousness and the continued need for lifetime tracking.

AB591-ASA1,10,23 (h) The court may grant a petition requesting termination of lifetime tracking if it determines after a hearing under par. (g) that lifetime tracking is no longer necessary to protect the public.
