Senate Bill 814 amends the procedures for the placement of sexually violent persons on supervised release in Wisconsin. The bill requires the Department of Health Services (DHS) to notify the county when submitting a supervised release plan to the court. Before the court can approve the plan, the county must conduct an assessment of the proposed residence to ensure compliance with existing restrictions and report the findings to the court. Additionally, the bill clarifies that alleys will be disregarded when determining if a property is adjacent to a child's primary residence, provided that the living quarters on each property are not more than 1,500 feet apart.

The bill also modifies the court's review process for the supervised release plan. If the plan does not adequately meet the treatment needs of the individual or the safety needs of the community, including compliance with the county's assessment, the court may reject the plan and require the preparation of a new one. This ensures that both the individual's needs and community safety are prioritized in the decision-making process regarding supervised release.
