Assembly Works On Bill About Placement Of Violent Sexual Offenders

Wisconsin lawmakers are working on a bill which would return released violent sexual offenders to the county where they lived before they went to prison.  Two sexually violent offenders, who aren’t from Portage County, were placed by a judge in the town of Alban.  Several lawmakers from central Wisconsin have been pushing for a change in the law.  The bill passed in the Assembly Tuesday would end the practice of a judge making the final decision on the offender’s new location after being released.
