Section 394.919 - Authorized petition for release; procedure(1) If the secretary or the secretary's designee at any time determines that the person is not likely to commit acts of sexual violence if discharged, the secretary or the secretary's designee shall authorize the person to petition the court for release. The petition shall be served upon the court and the state attorney. The court, upon receipt of such a petition, shall order a trial before the court within 30 days, unless continued for good cause.(2) The state attorney shall represent the state, and has the right to have the person examined by professionals of the state attorney's choice. The state bears the burden of proving, by clear and convincing evidence, that the person's mental condition remains such that it is not safe for the person to be at large and that, if released, the person is likely to engage in acts of sexual violence. s.11, ch. 98-64; s.14, ch. 99-222.
