  120  fine of $10 for each hour of public service or community work
  121  otherwise required only if the court finds that the residence or

  203  offense or documentation of having purchased the vehicle after
  204  the offense was committed from an entity other than the
  205  defendant or the defendant’s agent. If the court finds that the
  206  vehicle was stolen or that the sale was not made to circumvent
  207  the order and to allow the defendant continued access to the
  208  vehicle, the order must be dismissed, and the owner of the
  209  vehicle will incur no costs. If the court denies the request to

  213  when the offense occurred, and whose vehicle was stolen or who
  214  purchased the vehicle after the offense was committed directly
  215  from the defendant or the defendant’s agent, may request an
  216  evidentiary hearing to determine whether the impoundment or
  217  immobilization should occur. If the court finds that either the
  218  vehicle was stolen or the purchase was made without knowledge of
  219  the offense, that the purchaser had no relationship to the
  220  defendant other than through the transaction, and that the such
  221  purchase would not circumvent the order and allow the defendant
  222  continued access to the vehicle, the order must be dismissed,
  223  and the owner of the vehicle will incur no costs.
  224         (g) The court shall also dismiss the order of impoundment
  225  or immobilization of the vehicle if the court finds that the
  226  family of the owner of the vehicle has no other private or

  229  immobilization of any vehicle vehicles that is are owned by the
  230  defendant but that is are operated solely by the employees of
  231  the defendant or any business owned by the defendant.
  232         (i) All costs and fees for the impoundment or
  233  immobilization, including the cost of notification, must be paid
  234  by the owner of the vehicle or, if the vehicle is leased or
  235  rented, by the person leasing or renting the vehicle, unless the
  236  impoundment or immobilization order is dismissed. All provisions
  237  of s. 713.78 shall apply. The costs and fees for the impoundment
  238  or immobilization must be paid directly to the person impounding
  239  or immobilizing the vehicle.
  240         (j) The person who owns a vehicle that is impounded or
  241  immobilized under this subsection paragraph, or a person who has
  242  a lien of record against such a vehicle and who has not
  243  requested a review of the impoundment pursuant to paragraph (e),
  244  paragraph (f), or paragraph (g), may, within 10 days after the
  245  date that person has knowledge of the location of the vehicle,
  246  file a complaint in the county in which the owner resides to
  247  determine whether the vehicle was wrongfully taken or withheld
  248  from the owner or lienholder. Upon the filing of a complaint,
  249  the owner or lienholder may have the vehicle released by posting
  250  with the court a bond or other adequate security equal to the
  251  amount of the costs and fees for impoundment or immobilization,
  252  including towing or storage, to ensure the payment of such costs
  253  and fees if the owner or lienholder does not prevail. When the
  254  bond is posted and the fee is paid as set forth in s. 28.24, the
  255  clerk of the court shall issue a certificate releasing the
  256  vehicle. At the time of release, after reasonable inspection,
  257  the owner or lienholder must give a receipt to the towing or
  258  storage company indicating any loss or damage to the vehicle or
  259  to the contents of the vehicle.
  260         (k) A defendant, in the court’s discretion, may be required
  261  to serve all or any portion of a term of imprisonment to which
  262  the defendant has been sentenced pursuant to this section in a
  263  residential alcoholism treatment program or a residential drug
  264  abuse treatment program. Any time spent in such a program must
  265  be credited by the court toward the term of imprisonment.
  266  
  267  For the purposes of this section, a any conviction for a
  268  violation of s. 327.35; a previous conviction for the violation
  269  of former s. 316.1931, former s. 860.01, or former s. 316.028;
  270  or a previous conviction outside this state for driving under
  271  the influence, driving while intoxicated, driving with an
  272  unlawful blood-alcohol level, driving with an unlawful breath
  273  alcohol level, or any other similar alcohol-related or drug
  274  related traffic offense, is also considered a previous
  275  conviction for violation of this section. However, in
  276  satisfaction of the fine imposed pursuant to this section, the
  277  court may, upon a finding that the defendant is financially
  278  unable to pay either all or part of the fine, order that the
  279  defendant participate for a specified additional period of time
  280  in public service or a community work project in lieu of payment
  281  of that portion of the fine which the court determines the
  282  defendant is unable to pay. In determining such additional
  283  sentence, the court shall consider the amount of the unpaid
  284  portion of the fine and the reasonable value of the services to
  285  be ordered; however, the court may not compute the reasonable
  286  value of services at a rate less than the federal minimum wage
  287  at the time of sentencing.
  288         Section 2. Section 322.2615, Florida Statutes, is amended

  368  paragraph is deemed to have waived the right to a formal review
  369  of the suspension of his or her driving privilege. Such a waiver
  370  may not be used as evidence in any other proceeding.
  371         (e) The department shall notify the person whose driving

  601  of the department invalidating a suspension by a petition for
  602  writ of certiorari to the circuit court in the county in which
  603  wherein a formal or informal review was conducted. For
  604  telephonic hearings, the law enforcement agency shall file the
  605  petition for writ of certiorari to the circuit court in the

  610  or any circuit court review thereof may not be considered in any
  611  trial for a violation of s. 316.193, and a written statement
  612  submitted by a person in his or her request for departmental
  613  review under this section may not be admitted into evidence
  614  against him or her in any such trial.
  615         (b) The disposition of any related criminal proceeding
  616  proceedings does not affect a suspension for refusal to submit
  617  to a blood, breath, or urine test imposed under this section.
  618         (15) If the department suspends a person’s license under s.
  619  322.2616, it may not also suspend the person’s license under
  620  this section for the same episode that was the basis for the
  621  suspension under s. 322.2616.
  622         (16) The department shall invalidate a suspension for
  623  driving with an unlawful blood-alcohol level or breath-alcohol
  624  level imposed under this section if the suspended person is

  627  purposes only pursuant to paragraph (1)(c), the department shall
  628  remove the restriction from the person’s driver license.
  629         Section 3. Subsections (5), (7), (12), and (14) of section
  630  322.2616, Florida Statutes, are amended to read:

  660  witness is responsible for paying any witness fees and for
  661  notifying in writing the state attorney’s office in the
  662  appropriate circuit of the issuance of the subpoena. If the

  664  the hearing officer finds the failure to be without just cause,
  665  the right to a formal hearing is waived, and the suspension is
  666  sustained. The hearing officer may permit witnesses at the
  667  formal review hearing to appear telephonically.

  669  paragraph (b) by filing a petition for enforcement in the
  670  circuit court of the judicial circuit in which the person
  671  failing to comply with the subpoena resides. A failure to comply
  672  with an order of the court constitutes contempt of court.

  689  decision of the department sustaining a suspension of his or her
  690  driver driver’s license by a petition for writ of certiorari to
  691  the circuit court in the county in which the wherein such person
  692  resides or in which the wherein a formal or informal review was
  693  conducted under s. 322.31. However, an appeal does not stay the
  694  suspension. This subsection does not provide for a de novo
  695  appeal.
