Stricter sex offender placements near children's homes
In Wisconsin, serious child sex offenders on supervised release cannot be placed on property sharing a boundary with a child's main home when the living quarters are 1,500 feet apart or less. Roads and alleys do not change this rule. A child moving onto adjacent property after placement does not put the person in violation of supervised release. The law first applies to plans not yet approved on its effective date. The state health department must notify the county when submitting a plan to court. Before approval, the county must check the proposed home and report whether it meets placement rules. The court's decision must include that assessment showing compliance, and approval requires adequate treatment and community safety protections. If the home makes the plan inadequate, the court must order the county to find another home, arrange to lease it, and prepare a new report. If treatment options are inadequate, the court must order the department to prepare another plan.
