Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law restricts where certain persons who have been convicted of first or second degree sexual assault, first or second degree sexual assault of a child, repeated sexual assault of a child, incest with a child, or child enticement (a "serious sex offense") may reside if they are living in the community. First, no person who has been convicted of a serious sex offense (a "sex offender") may be paroled to any county where there is a correctional institution that has a specialized sex offender treatment program, unless that county was the person's county of residence at the time of the person's offense. (Presently, this provision only applies to Winnebago County.) Second, any sex offender who is released to extended supervision must agree, as a condition of extended supervision, to live in a residence that the department of corrections (DOC) has approved. Current law also imposes certain obligations on DOC with respect to where sex offenders reside. DOC must work to minimize, to the greatest extent possible, the residential population density of sex offenders who are on probation, parole, or extended supervision or who are placed on supervised release after having been committed for treatment as sexually violent persons.

This bill places additional restrictions on where child sex offenders -- defined as a person who has been convicted of child enticement, attempted child enticement, or, if the victim or the intended victim was under 18, any other serious sex offense -- may reside. Under the bill, a child sex offender who is being placed in the community under the supervision of DOC (through parole, extended supervision, or probation) may not reside within 1,000 feet of any of the following places: 1) a state, county, city, village, or town park; 2) a multiunit public housing project; 3) a public swimming pool; 4) a child care facility; 5) a youth center; 6) a community center; or 7) any private or public school premises. The bill imposes the same restriction on: 1) any person being placed in the community on conditional release after having been found not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect of child enticement, attempted child enticement, or, if the victim or the intended victim was under 18, any other serious sex offense; and 2) any person placed on supervised release after having been committed for treatment as a sexually violent person, regardless of the offense or offenses that provided a basis for his or her commitment.

For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.

The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
