       The Committee on Criminal Justice (Bradley) recommended the
       following:
       
    1         Senate Amendment (with title amendment)
    2  
    3         Delete everything after the enacting clause
    4  and insert:
    5         Section 1. Paragraph (e) of subsection (3) of section
    6  775.082, Florida Statutes, is amended and paragraph (f) of
    7  subsection (3) is added to that section to read:
    8         775.082 Penalties; applicability of sentencing structures;
    9  mandatory minimum sentences for certain reoffenders previously
   10  released from prison.—
   11         (3) A person who has been convicted of any other designated
   12  felony may be punished as follows:
   13         (e) For a felony of the third degree, by a term of
   14  imprisonment not exceeding 5 years. However, notwithstanding
   15  subsection (10), if the offender has been convicted of a sexual
   16  offense listed in s. 775.21(4)(a) or s. 943.0435(1)(a)1.a.(I),
   17  and is then convicted of an additional felony of the third
   18  degree committed on or after October 1, 2015, which is listed in
   19  s. 943.0435(1)(a)1.a.(I) or s. 775.21(4)(a), the offender shall
   20  be sentenced under s. 948.012(6) or s. 948.04(2) to a mandatory
   21  10-year sex offender supervision term. For purposes of this
   22  section, “convicted” means that there has been a determination
   23  of guilt as a result of a trial or plea of guilty or nolo
   24  contendere, regardless of whether adjudication was withheld.
   25  This subsection does not preclude a court from imposing a
   26  greater sentence of incarceration as authorized by law, pursuant
   27  to s. 775.084 or any other provision of law.
   28         (f)Effective for offenses committed on or after October 1,
   29  2015, for persons who are sentenced to a term of imprisonment,
   30  the court shall impose a split sentence for any person who is
   31  convicted of a violation of offenses listed in s.
   32  943.0453(1)(a)1.a.(I), or s. 775.21(4)(a) and has a prior
   33  conviction or a prior withheld adjudication of a sexual offense
   34  listed in s. 943.0435(1)(a)1.a.(I), or s. 775.21(4)(a). A
   35  mandatory 10-year sex offender supervision term shall follow the
   36  period of incarceration. Persons sentenced under this section
   37  may be sentenced to the statutory maximum term of imprisonment
   38  in addition to the mandatory 10-year sex offender supervision
   39  term. Persons sentenced under this subsection shall have
   40  electronic monitoring imposed as a condition of supervision for
   41  the entire term of supervision.
   42         Section 2. Subsection (1) of section 948.012, Florida
   43  Statutes, is amended, present subsection (6) is redesignated as

   46         948.012 Split sentence of probation or community control
   47  and imprisonment.—
   48         (1) If punishment by imprisonment for a misdemeanor or a
   49  felony, except for a capital felony, is prescribed, the court
   50  may, at the time of sentencing, impose a split sentence whereby
   51  the defendant is to be placed on probation or, with respect to
   52  any such felony, into community control upon completion of any
   53  specified period of such sentence which may include a term of
   54  years or less. In such case, the court shall stay and withhold
   55  the imposition of the remainder of sentence imposed upon the
   56  defendant and direct that the defendant be placed upon probation
   57  or into community control after serving such period as may be
   58  imposed by the court. Except as provided in subsection (7) (6),
   59  the period of probation or community control shall commence
   60  immediately upon the release of the defendant from
   61  incarceration, whether by parole or gain-time allowances.
   62         (6) If a defendant is convicted of a sexual offense listed
   63  in s. 775.21(4)(a) or s. 943.0453(1)(a)1.a.(I), committed on or
   64  after October 1, 2015 and has a prior conviction or a prior
   65  withheld adjudication of a sexual offense listed in s.
   66  775.21(4)(a) or s. 943.0435(1)(a)1.a.(I), if the court imposes a
   67  term of imprisonment, the court shall impose a split sentence
   68  followed by a mandatory 10-year sex offender supervision term.
   69  Persons sentenced under this section may be sentenced to the
   70  statutory maximum term of imprisonment in addition to the
   71  mandatory 10-year sex offender supervision term. Persons
   72  sentenced under this subsection shall have electronic monitoring
   73  imposed as a condition of supervision for the entire term of
   74  supervision.
   75         Section 3. Present subsections (2) and (3) of section
   76  948.04, Florida Statutes, are redesignated as subsections (3)
   77  and (4), respectively, and subsection (2) is added to that
   78  section, to read:
   79         948.04 Period of probation; duty of probationer; early
   80  termination.—
   81         (2) Effective for persons who commit a sexual offense
   82  listed in s. 775.21(4)(a) or s. 943.0435(1)(a)1.a.(I), on or
   83  after October 1, 2015, if the person is sentenced to a term of
   84  supervision and has a prior conviction or a prior adjudication
   85  withheld for a sexual offense listed in s. 775.21(4)(a) or s.
   86  943.0435(1)(a)1.a.(I), the court shall impose a mandatory
   87  minimum 10-year sex offender supervision term. This subsection
   88  does not preclude a court from imposing a sentence under s.
   89  948.012(6) or a greater sentence of incarceration as authorized
   90  by law, pursuant to s. 775.084, or any other provision of law.
   91  Persons sentenced under this subs4ection shall have electronic
   92  monitoring imposed as a condition of supervision for the entire
   93  term of supervision.
   94         Section 4. This act shall take effect October 1, 2015.
