A proceeding seeking to remove a person's designation as a sexually violent predator may be initiated by the filing of a petition by the person so designated in the original sentencing court. The petition shall set forth that the underlying qualifying conviction has been reversed or vacated. Upon receipt of proof that no qualifying conviction exists, the court shall enter an order directing the removal of the designation.
