| 85 | Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Florida: |
| 86 |
|
| 87 | Section 1. Subsection (1) of section 948.001, Florida |
| 88 | Statutes, is amended to read: |
| 89 | 948.001 Definitions.--As used in this chapter, the term: |
| 90 | (1) "Administrative probation" means a form of noncontact |
| 91 | supervision in which an offender who presents a low risk of harm |
| 92 | to the community may, upon satisfactory completion of half the |
| 93 | term of probation, be transferred placed by the Department of |
| 94 | Corrections to on nonreporting status until expiration of the |
| 95 | term of supervision. The department is authorized to collect an |
| 96 | initial processing fee of up to $50 for each probationer reduced |
| 97 | to administrative probation. Such offender is exempt from |
| 98 | further payment for cost of supervision as required in s. |
| 99 | 948.09. |
| 100 | Section 2. Paragraph (c) of subsection (3) of section |
| 101 | 948.01, Florida Statutes, is amended, subsection (7) is |
| 102 | renumbered as subsection (5) and amended, and subsection (8) is |
| 103 | renumbered as subsection (6) of said section, to read: |
| 104 | 948.01 When court may place defendant on probation or into |
| 105 | community control.-- |
| 106 | (3) If, after considering the provisions of subsection (2) |
| 107 | and the offender's prior record or the seriousness of the |
| 108 | offense, it appears to the court in the case of a felony |
| 109 | disposition that probation is an unsuitable dispositional |
| 110 | alternative to imprisonment, the court may place the offender in |
| 111 | a community control program as provided in s. 948.10. Or, in a |
| 112 | case of prior disposition of a felony commitment, upon motion of |
| 113 | the offender or the department or upon its own motion, the court |
| 114 | may, within the period of its retained jurisdiction following |
| 115 | commitment, suspend the further execution of the disposition and |
| 116 | place the offender in a community control program upon such |
| 117 | terms as the court may require. The court may consult with a |
| 118 | local offender advisory council pursuant to s. 948.90 with |
| 119 | respect to the placement of an offender into community control. |
| 120 | Not later than 3 working days before the hearing on the motion, |
| 121 | the department shall forward to the court all relevant material |
| 122 | on the offender's progress while in custody. If this sentencing |
| 123 | alternative to incarceration is utilized, the court shall: |
| 124 | (c) Require the department to provide notifications |
| 125 | pursuant to s. 948.10(7)(6). |
| 126 | (5)(7) In no case shall The imposition of sentence may not |
| 127 | be suspended and the defendant thereupon placed on probation or |
| 128 | into community control unless the such defendant is placed under |
| 129 | the custody of the department or another public or private |
| 130 | entity. A private entity may not provide probationary or |
| 131 | supervision services to felony or misdemeanor offenders |
| 132 | sentenced or placed on probation or other supervision by the |
| 133 | circuit court. |
| 134 | (6)(8) When the court, under any of the foregoing |
| 135 | subsections, places a defendant on probation or into community |
| 136 | control, it may specify that the defendant serve all or part of |
| 137 | the probationary or community control period in a community |
| 138 | residential or nonresidential facility under the jurisdiction of |
| 139 | the Department of Corrections or the Department of Children and |
| 140 | Family Services or any public or private entity providing such |
| 141 | services, and it shall require the payment prescribed in s. |
| 142 | 948.09. |
| 143 | Section 3. Subsection (8) of section 948.10, Florida |
| 144 | Statutes, is renumbered as subsection (11), and subsection (5) |
| 145 | of section 948.01, Florida Statutes, is transferred and |
| 146 | renumbered as subsection (10) of section 948.10, Florida |
| 147 | Statutes. |
| 148 | Section 4. Subsection (12) of section 948.01, Florida |
| 149 | Statutes, is amended, transferred, and renumbered as subsection |
| 150 | (3) of section 948.012, Florida Statutes, and subsections (6) |
| 151 | and (11) of section 948.01, Florida Statutes, are transferred |
| 152 | and renumbered, respectively, as subsections (1) and (2) of |
| 153 | section 948.012, Florida Statutes, which is created to read: |
| 154 | 948.012 Split sentence of probation or community control |
| 155 | and imprisonment.-- |
| 156 | (1)(6) Whenever punishment by imprisonment for a |
| 157 | misdemeanor or a felony, except for a capital felony, is |
| 158 | prescribed, the court, in its discretion, may, at the time of |
| 159 | sentencing, impose a split sentence whereby the defendant is to |
| 160 | be placed on probation or, with respect to any such felony, into |
| 161 | community control upon completion of any specified period of |
| 162 | such sentence which may include a term of years or less. In |
| 163 | such case, the court shall stay and withhold the imposition of |
| 164 | the remainder of sentence imposed upon the defendant and direct |
| 165 | that the defendant be placed upon probation or into community |
| 166 | control after serving such period as may be imposed by the |
| 167 | court. The period of probation or community control shall |
| 168 | commence immediately upon the release of the defendant from |
| 169 | incarceration, whether by parole or gain-time allowances. |
| 170 | (2)(11) The court may also impose a split sentence whereby |
| 171 | the defendant is sentenced to a term of probation which may be |
| 172 | followed by a period of incarceration or, with respect to a |
| 173 | felony, into community control, as follows: |
| 174 | (a) If the offender meets the terms and conditions of |
| 175 | probation or community control, any term of incarceration may be |
| 176 | modified by court order to eliminate the term of incarceration. |
| 177 | (b) If the offender does not meet the terms and conditions |
| 178 | of probation or community control, the court may revoke, modify, |
| 179 | or continue the probation or community control as provided in s. |
| 180 | 948.06. If the probation or community control is revoked, the |
| 181 | court may impose any sentence that it could have imposed at the |
| 182 | time the offender was placed on probation or community control. |
| 183 | The court may not provide credit for time served for any portion |
| 184 | of a probation or community control term toward a subsequent |
| 185 | term of probation or community control. However, the court may |
| 186 | not impose a subsequent term of probation or community control |
| 187 | which, when combined with any amount of time served on preceding |
| 188 | terms of probation or community control for offenses pending |
| 189 | before the court for sentencing, would exceed the maximum |
| 190 | penalty allowable as provided in s. 775.082. Such term of |
| 191 | incarceration shall be served under applicable law or county |
| 192 | ordinance governing service of sentences in state or county |
| 193 | jurisdiction. This paragraph does not prohibit any other |
| 194 | sanction provided by law. |
| 195 | (3)(12) The court may also impose split probation whereby, |
| 196 | upon satisfactory completion of half the term of probation, the |
| 197 | Department of Corrections may place the offender on |
| 198 | administrative probation as defined in s. 948.001 for the |
| 199 | remainder of the term of supervision. |
| 200 | Section 5. Subsection (9) of section 948.10, Florida |
| 201 | Statutes, is renumbered as subsection (12), and subsection (9) |
| 202 | of section 948.01, Florida Statutes, is transferred and |
| 203 | renumbered as subsection (9) of section 948.10, Florida |
| 204 | Statutes. |

| 206 | Florida Statutes, are renumbered as subsections (3) through (7), |
| 207 | respectively, subsection (7) of said section is renumbered as |
| 208 | subsection (8) and amended, and subsection (10) of section |
| 209 | 948.01, Florida Statutes, is transferred and renumbered as |
| 210 | subsection (2) of section 948.10, Florida Statutes, to read: |
| 211 | 948.10 Community control programs.-- |
| 212 | (2)(10) An offender may not be placed in community control |
| 213 | if: |
| 214 | (a) Convicted of or adjudication withheld for a forcible |
| 215 | felony as defined in s. 776.08, and |
| 216 | (b) Previously convicted of or adjudication withheld for a |
| 217 | forcible felony as defined in s. 776.08. |
| 218 |
|
| 219 | Nothing in this subsection prohibits placement of certain |
| 220 | inmates on community control pursuant to s. 947.1747. For the |
| 221 | purposes of this subsection, a forcible felony does not include |
| 222 | manslaughter or burglary. |
| 223 | (8)(7) If an offender is sentenced to community control by |
| 224 | the court and the offender is ineligible to be placed on |
| 225 | community control as provided in subsection (2) s. 948.01(10), |
| 226 | the department shall: |
| 227 | (a) Review and verify whether an ineligible offender was |
| 228 | placed on community control. |
| 229 | (b) Within 30 days after receipt of the order, notify the |
| 230 | sentencing judge, the state attorney, and the Attorney General |

| 232 | control. |
| 233 | (c) Provide a quarterly report to the chief judge and the |
| 234 | state attorney of each circuit citing the number of ineligible |
| 235 | offenders placed on community control within that circuit. |
| 236 | (d) Provide an annual report to the Governor, the |
| 237 | President of the Senate, the Speaker of the House of |
| 238 | Representatives, and the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court on |
| 239 | the placement of ineligible offenders on community control in |
| 240 | order to assist in preparing judicial education programs or for |
| 241 | any other purpose. |

| 244 | 948.20, Florida Statutes, which is created to read: |

| 248 | is a violation of s. 893.13(2)(a) or (6)(a), the court may |
| 249 | either adjudge the defendant guilty or stay and withhold the |
| 250 | adjudication of guilt; and, in either case, it may stay and |
| 251 | withhold the imposition of sentence and place the defendant on |
| 252 | drug offender probation. |
| 253 | (1)(a) The Department of Corrections shall develop and |
| 254 | administer a drug offender probation program which emphasizes a |
| 255 | combination of treatment and intensive community supervision |
| 256 | approaches and which includes provision for supervision of |
| 257 | offenders in accordance with a specific treatment plan. The |
| 258 | program may include the use of graduated sanctions consistent |
| 259 | with the conditions imposed by the court. Drug offender |
| 260 | probation status shall include surveillance and random drug |
| 261 | testing, and may include those measures normally associated with |

| 279 | (2)(a) The court shall require intensive supervision and |
| 280 | surveillance for an offender placed into community control, |
| 281 | which may include but is not limited to: |
| 282 | 1. Specified contact with the parole and probation |

| 294 | 2. Confinement to a designated residence during designated |
| 295 | hours. |
| 296 | (2) The enumeration of specific kinds of terms and |
| 297 | conditions does not prevent the court from adding thereto any |
| 298 | other terms or conditions that the court considers proper. |

| 302 | the order stipulates that it is contingent upon the approval of |
| 303 | the receiving state's interstate compact authority. The court |
| 304 | may rescind or modify at any time the terms and conditions |
| 305 | theretofore imposed by it upon the offender in community |
| 306 | control. However, if the court withholds adjudication of guilt |
| 307 | or imposes a period of incarceration as a condition of community |
| 308 | control, the period may not exceed 364 days, and incarceration |

| 783 | 948.039 Special terms and conditions of probation or |
| 784 | community control imposed by court order.--The court may impose |
| 785 | any special terms and conditions of probation or community |
| 786 | control. The terms and conditions should be reasonably related |
| 787 | to the circumstances of the offense committed and appropriate |
| 788 | for the offender. The court shall impose the special terms and |
| 789 | conditions by oral pronouncement at sentencing and include the |
| 790 | terms and conditions in the written sentencing order. Special |
| 791 | terms and conditions may include, but are not limited to, |
| 792 | requirements that the offender: |
| 793 | (1) Attend an HIV/AIDS awareness program consisting of a |
| 794 | class of not less than 2 hours or more than 4 hours in length, |
| 795 | if such a program is available in the county of the offender's |
| 796 | residence. The offender shall pay the cost of attending the |
| 797 | program. |
| 798 | (2) Pay not more than $1 per month during the term of |
| 799 | probation or community control to a nonprofit organization |
| 800 | established for the sole purpose of supplementing the |
| 801 | rehabilitative efforts of the Department of Corrections. |
| 802 | Section 21. Subsection (1) of section 948.06, Florida |
| 803 | Statutes, is amended, and for the purpose of incorporating the |
| 804 | amendment to section 948.09, Florida Statutes, in a reference |
| 805 | thereto, subsection (5) of said section is reenacted, to read: |
| 806 | 948.06 Violation of probation or community control; |
| 807 | revocation; modification; continuance; failure to pay |
| 808 | restitution or cost of supervision.-- |
| 809 | (1)(a) Whenever within the period of probation or |
| 810 | community control there are reasonable grounds to believe that a |
| 811 | probationer or offender in community control has violated his or |
| 812 | her probation or community control in a material respect, any |
| 813 | law enforcement officer who is aware of the probationary or |
| 814 | community control status of the probationer or offender in |
| 815 | community control or any parole or probation supervisor may |
| 816 | arrest or request any county or municipal law enforcement |
| 817 | officer to arrest such probationer or offender without warrant |
| 818 | wherever found and forthwith return him or her to the court |
| 819 | granting such probation or community control. |
| 820 | (b) Any committing magistrate may issue a warrant, upon |
| 821 | the facts being made known to him or her by affidavit of one |
| 822 | having knowledge of such facts, for the arrest of the |
| 823 | probationer or offender, returnable forthwith before the court |
| 824 | granting such probation or community control. |
| 825 | (c) Any parole or probation supervisor, any officer |
| 826 | authorized to serve criminal process, or any peace officer of |
| 827 | this state is authorized to serve and execute such warrant. |
| 828 | (d) Upon the filing of an affidavit alleging a violation |
| 829 | of probation or community control and following issuance of a |
| 830 | warrant under s. 901.02, the probationary period is tolled until |
| 831 | the court enters a ruling on the violation. Notwithstanding the |
| 832 | tolling of probation as provided in this section subsection, the |
| 833 | court shall retain jurisdiction over the offender for any |
| 834 | violation of the conditions of probation or community control |
| 835 | that is alleged to have occurred during the tolling period. The |
| 836 | probation officer is permitted to continue to supervise any |
| 837 | offender who remains available to the officer for supervision |
| 838 | until the supervision expires pursuant to the order of probation |
| 839 | or community control or until the court revokes or terminates |
| 840 | the probation or community control, whichever comes first. |
| 841 | (2)(a) The court, upon the probationer or offender being |
| 842 | brought before it, shall advise him or her of such charge of |
| 843 | violation and, if such charge is admitted to be true, may |
| 844 | forthwith revoke, modify, or continue the probation or community |
| 845 | control or place the probationer into a community control |
| 846 | program. |
| 847 | (b) If probation or community control is revoked, the |
| 848 | court shall adjudge the probationer or offender guilty of the |
| 849 | offense charged and proven or admitted, unless he or she has |
| 850 | previously been adjudged guilty, and impose any sentence which |
| 851 | it might have originally imposed before placing the probationer |
| 852 | on probation or the offender into community control. |
| 853 | (c) If such violation of probation or community control is |
| 854 | not admitted by the probationer or offender, the court may |
| 855 | commit him or her or release him or her with or without bail to |
| 856 | await further hearing, or it may dismiss the charge of probation |
| 857 | or community control violation. |
| 858 | (d) If such charge is not at that time admitted by the |
| 859 | probationer or offender and if it is not dismissed, the court, |
| 860 | as soon as may be practicable, shall give the probationer or |
| 861 | offender an opportunity to be fully heard on his or her behalf |
| 862 | in person or by counsel. |
| 863 | (e) After such hearing, the court may revoke, modify, or |
| 864 | continue the probation or community control or place the |
| 865 | probationer into community control. If such probation or |
| 866 | community control is revoked, the court shall adjudge the |
| 867 | probationer or offender guilty of the offense charged and proven |
| 868 | or admitted, unless he or she has previously been adjudged |
| 869 | guilty, and impose any sentence which it might have originally |
| 870 | imposed before placing the probationer or offender on probation |
| 871 | or into community control. |
| 872 | (f) Notwithstanding s. 775.082, when a period of probation |
| 873 | or community control has been tolled, upon revocation or |
| 874 | modification of the probation or community control, the court |
| 875 | may impose a sanction with a term that when combined with the |
| 876 | amount of supervision served and tolled, exceeds the term |
| 877 | permissible pursuant to s. 775.082 for a term up to the amount |
| 878 | of the tolled period of supervision. |
| 879 | (g) If the court dismisses an affidavit alleging a |
| 880 | violation of probation or community control, the offender's |
| 881 | probation or community control shall continue as previously |
| 882 | imposed, and the offender shall receive credit for all tolled |
| 883 | time against his or her term of probation or community control. |
| 884 | (5) In any hearing in which the failure of a probationer |
| 885 | or offender in community control to pay restitution or the cost |
| 886 | of supervision as provided in s. 948.09, as directed, is |
| 887 | established by the state, if the probationer or offender asserts |
| 888 | his or her inability to pay restitution or the cost of |
| 889 | supervision, it is incumbent upon the probationer or offender to |
| 890 | prove by clear and convincing evidence that he or she does not |
| 891 | have the present resources available to pay restitution or the |
| 892 | cost of supervision despite sufficient bona fide efforts legally |
| 893 | to acquire the resources to do so. If the probationer or |
| 894 | offender cannot pay restitution or the cost of supervision |
| 895 | despite sufficient bona fide efforts, the court shall consider |
| 896 | alternate measures of punishment other than imprisonment. Only |
| 897 | if alternate measures are not adequate to meet the state's |
| 898 | interests in punishment and deterrence may the court imprison a |
| 899 | probationer or offender in community control who has |
| 900 | demonstrated sufficient bona fide efforts to pay restitution or |
| 901 | the cost of supervision. |
| 902 | Section 22. Subsection (2) of section 948.06, Florida |
| 903 | Statutes, is amended, transferred, and renumbered as section |
| 904 | 948.32, Florida Statutes, which is created to read: |
| 905 | 948.32 Requirements of law enforcement agency upon arrest |
| 906 | of persons for certain sex offenses.-- |
| 907 | (1)(2)(a) When any state or local law enforcement agency |
| 908 | investigates or arrests a person for committing, or attempting, |
| 909 | soliciting, or conspiring to commit, a violation of s. 787.025, |
| 910 | chapter 794, s. 796.03, s. 800.04, s. 827.071, s. 847.0133, s. |
| 911 | 847.0135, or s. 847.0145, the law enforcement agency shall |
| 912 | contact the Department of Corrections to verify whether the |
| 913 | person under investigation or under arrest is on probation, |
| 914 | community control, parole, conditional release, or control |
| 915 | release. |
| 916 | (2)(b) If the law enforcement agency finds that the person |
| 917 | under investigation or under arrest is on probation, community |
| 918 | control, parole, conditional release, or control release, the |
| 919 | law enforcement agency shall immediately notify the person's |
| 920 | probation officer or release supervisor of the investigation or |
| 921 | the arrest. |
| 922 | Section 23. Subsection (1) of section 948.09, Florida |
| 923 | Statutes, is amended to read: |
| 924 | 948.09 Payment for cost of supervision and |
| 925 | rehabilitation.-- |
| 926 | (1)(a)1. Any person ordered by the court, the Department |
| 927 | of Corrections, or the parole commission to be placed on |
| 928 | probation, drug offender probation, community control, parole, |
| 929 | control release, provisional release supervision, addiction- |
| 930 | recovery supervision, or conditional release supervision under |
| 931 | chapter 944, chapter 945, chapter 947, chapter 948, or chapter |
| 932 | 958, or in a pretrial intervention program, must, as a condition |
| 933 | of any placement, pay the department a total sum of money equal |
| 934 | to the total month or portion of a month of supervision times |
| 935 | the court-ordered amount, but not to exceed the actual per diem |
| 936 | cost of the supervision. The department shall adopt rules by |
| 937 | which an offender who pays in full and in advance of regular |
| 938 | termination of supervision may receive a reduction in the amount |
| 939 | due. The rules shall incorporate provisions by which the |
| 940 | offender's ability to pay is linked to an established written |
| 941 | payment plan. Funds collected from felony offenders may be used |
| 942 | to offset costs of the Department of Corrections associated with |
| 943 | community supervision programs, subject to appropriation by the |
| 944 | Legislature. |
| 945 | 2. In addition to any other contribution or surcharge |
| 946 | imposed by this section, each felony offender assessed under |
| 947 | this paragraph shall pay a $2-per-month surcharge to the |
| 948 | department. The surcharge shall be deemed to be paid only after |
| 949 | the full amount of any monthly payment required by the |
| 950 | established written payment plan has been collected by the |
| 951 | department. These funds shall be used by the department to pay |
| 952 | for correctional probation officers' training and equipment, |
| 953 | including radios, and firearms training, firearms, and attendant |
| 954 | equipment necessary to train and equip officers who choose to |
| 955 | carry a concealed firearm while on duty. Nothing in this |
| 956 | subparagraph shall be construed to limit the department's |
| 957 | authority to determine who shall be authorized to carry a |
| 958 | concealed firearm while on duty, or to limit the right of a |
| 959 | correctional probation officer to carry a personal firearm |
| 960 | approved by the department. |
| 961 | (b) Any person placed on misdemeanor probation by a county |
| 962 | court must contribute not less than $40 per month, as decided by |
| 963 | the sentencing court, to the court-approved public or private |
| 964 | entity providing misdemeanor supervision. |
| 965 | Section 24. Subsection (1) of section 948.04, Florida |
| 966 | Statutes, is amended to read: |
| 967 | 948.04 Period of probation; duty of probationer; early |
| 968 | termination.-- |
| 969 | (1) Defendants found guilty of felonies who are placed on |
| 970 | probation shall be under supervision not to exceed 2 years |
| 971 | unless otherwise specified by the court. No defendant placed on |
| 972 | probation pursuant to s. 948.012(1) 948.01(6) or s. 948.034 is |
| 973 | subject to the probation limitations of this subsection. A |
| 974 | defendant who is placed on probation or community control for a |
| 975 | violation of chapter 794 or chapter 827 is subject to the |
| 976 | maximum level of supervision provided by the supervising agency, |
| 977 | and that supervision shall continue through the full term of the |
| 978 | court-imposed probation or community control. |
| 979 | Section 25. Paragraph (c) of subsection (17) of section |
| 980 | 440.02, Florida Statutes, is amended to read: |
| 981 | 440.02 Definitions.--When used in this chapter, unless the |
| 982 | context clearly requires otherwise, the following terms shall |
| 983 | have the following meanings: |
| 984 | (17) |

| 990 | fewer regular employees and that employs fewer than 12 other |
| 991 | employees at one time for seasonal agricultural labor that is |
| 992 | completed in less than 30 days, provided such seasonal |
| 993 | employment does not exceed 45 days in the same calendar year. |
| 994 | The term "farm" includes stock, dairy, poultry, fruit, fur- |
| 995 | bearing animals, fish, and truck farms, ranches, nurseries, and |

| 1015 | INTENT.-- |
| 1016 | (b) The high level of threat that a sexual predator |
| 1017 | presents to the public safety, and the long-term effects |
| 1018 | suffered by victims of sex offenses, provide the state with |
| 1019 | sufficient justification to implement a strategy that includes: |
| 1020 | 1. Incarcerating sexual predators and maintaining adequate |
| 1021 | facilities to ensure that decisions to release sexual predators |
| 1022 | into the community are not made on the basis of inadequate |
| 1023 | space. |

| 1025 | predators who are in the community by specially trained |
| 1026 | probation officers with low caseloads, as described in ss. |

| 1036 | 4. Providing for community and public notification |
| 1037 | concerning the presence of sexual predators. |

| 1040 | Section 27. Paragraph (b) of subsection (2) of section |
| 1041 | 812.0155, Florida Statutes, is amended to read: |
| 1042 | 812.0155 Suspension of driver's license following an |
| 1043 | adjudication of guilt for theft.-- |
| 1044 | (2) The court may revoke, suspend, or withhold issuance of |
| 1045 | a driver's license of a person less than 18 years of age who |
| 1046 | violates s. 812.014 or s. 812.015 as an alternative to |
| 1047 | sentencing the person to: |
| 1048 | (b) Probation as defined in s. 985.03, commitment to the |
| 1049 | Department of Juvenile Justice, probation as defined in chapter |

| 1058 | split sentence.--Effective for offenses committed on or after |
| 1059 | January 1, 1994, if an offender's probation or community control |
| 1060 | is revoked and the offender is serving a split sentence pursuant |
| 1061 | to s. 948.012 948.01, upon recommitment to the Department of |
| 1062 | Corrections, the court shall order credit for time served in |
| 1063 | state prison or county jail only, without considering any type |
| 1064 | of gain-time earned before release to supervision, or any type |
| 1065 | of sentence reduction granted to avoid prison overcrowding, |
| 1066 | including, but not limited to, any sentence reduction resulting |
| 1067 | from administrative gain-time, provisional credits, or control |
| 1068 | release. The court shall determine the amount of jail-time |
| 1069 | credit to be awarded for time served between the date of arrest |
| 1070 | as a violator and the date of recommitment, and shall direct the |
| 1071 | Department of Corrections to compute and apply credit for all |
| 1072 | other time served previously on the prior sentence for the |
| 1073 | offense for which the offender is being recommitted. This |
| 1074 | section does not affect or limit the department's authority to |
| 1075 | forfeit gain-time under ss. 944.28(1) and 948.06(7). |
| 1076 | Section 29. Paragraph (a) of subsection (1) of section |
| 1077 | 921.187, Florida Statutes, is amended to read: |
| 1078 | 921.187 Disposition and sentencing; alternatives; |
| 1079 | restitution.-- |
| 1080 | (1) The alternatives provided in this section for the |

| 1083 | and provide the opportunity for rehabilitation. |
| 1084 | (a) If the offender does not receive a state prison |
| 1085 | sentence, the court may: |
| 1086 | 1. Impose a split sentence whereby the offender is to be |

| 1104 | any qualified public or private entity providing such services. |
| 1105 | Before admission to such a facility, the court shall obtain an |
| 1106 | individual assessment and recommendations on the appropriate |
| 1107 | treatment needs, which shall be considered by the court in |
| 1108 | ordering such placements. Placement in such a facility, except |
| 1109 | for a county residential probation facility, may not exceed 364 |
| 1110 | days. Placement in a county residential probation facility may |
| 1111 | not exceed 3 years. Early termination of placement may be |

| 1115 | 7. Sentence the offender pursuant to s. 922.051 to |

| 1165 | Section 30. Subsection (6) of section 947.23, Florida |
| 1166 | Statutes, is amended to read: |
| 1167 | 947.23 Action of commission upon arrest of parolee.-- |
| 1168 | (6) Within a reasonable time after the hearing, the |
| 1169 | commissioner, commissioners, or duly authorized representative |
| 1170 | of the commission who conducted the hearing shall make findings |
| 1171 | of fact in regard to the alleged parole violation. |
| 1172 | (a) If the hearing was conducted by three or more |
| 1173 | commissioners, a majority of them shall enter an order |
| 1174 | determining whether the charges of parole violation have been |
| 1175 | sustained, based on the findings of fact made by them. By such |
| 1176 | order they shall revoke the parole and return the parolee to |
| 1177 | prison to serve the sentence theretofore imposed upon her or |
| 1178 | him, reinstate the original order of parole, order the placement |
| 1179 | of the parolee into a community control program as set forth in |
| 1180 | s. 948.10, subject to the terms and conditions specified under |
| 1181 | s. 948.101, 948.03, or enter such other order as is proper. |
| 1182 | (b) If the hearing was conducted by one or two |
| 1183 | commissioners or a duly authorized representative of the |
| 1184 | commission, at least two commissioners shall enter an order |
| 1185 | determining whether or not the charges of parole violation have |
| 1186 | been sustained, based on the findings of fact made by the |
| 1187 | commissioner, commissioners, or duly authorized representative |
| 1188 | of the commission. The commissioners, by such order, shall |

| 1193 | subject to the terms and conditions specified under s. 948.101, |
| 1194 | 948.03, or enter such other order as is proper. |
| 1195 | (c) If the disposition after the revocation hearing is to |
| 1196 | place the parolee into a community control program, the |
| 1197 | commission shall be guided by the procedures and requirements |
| 1198 | provided in chapter 948 which apply to the courts regarding the |
| 1199 | development and implementation of community control. |
| 1200 |
|
| 1201 | However, any decision to revoke parole shall be based on a |
| 1202 | violation of a term or condition specifically enumerated in the |
| 1203 | parole release order. In a case in which parole is revoked, the |
| 1204 | majority of the commission or the two commissioners shall make a |
| 1205 | written statement of the evidence relied on and the reasons for |
| 1206 | revoking parole. |
| 1207 | Section 31. Section 958.14, Florida Statutes, is amended |
| 1208 | to read: |
| 1209 | 958.14 Violation of probation or community control |
| 1210 | program.--A violation or alleged violation of probation or the |
| 1211 | terms of a community control program shall subject the youthful |
| 1212 | offender to the provisions of s. 948.06(1). However, no youthful |
| 1213 | offender shall be committed to the custody of the department for |
| 1214 | a substantive violation for a period longer than the maximum |
| 1215 | sentence for the offense for which he or she was found guilty, |
| 1216 | with credit for time served while incarcerated, or for a |
| 1217 | technical or nonsubstantive violation for a period longer than 6 |
| 1218 | years or for a period longer than the maximum sentence for the |
| 1219 | offense for which he or she was found guilty, whichever is less, |
| 1220 | with credit for time served while incarcerated. |
| 1221 | Section 32. For the purpose of incorporating the amendment |
| 1222 | to section 948.09, Florida Statutes, in references thereto, |
| 1223 | paragraph (b) of subsection (2) and paragraph(b) of subsection |
| 1224 | (7) of section 944.4731, Florida Statutes, are reenacted to |
| 1225 | read: |
| 1226 | 944.4731 Addiction-Recovery Supervision Program.-- |
| 1227 | (2) |
| 1228 | (b) An offender released under addiction-recovery |
| 1229 | supervision shall be subject to specified terms and conditions, |
| 1230 | including payment of the costs of supervision under s. 948.09 |
| 1231 | and any other court-ordered payments, such as child support and |
| 1232 | restitution. If an offender has received a term of probation or |
| 1233 | community control to be served after release from incarceration, |
| 1234 | the period of probation or community control may not be |
| 1235 | substituted for addiction-recovery supervision and shall follow |
| 1236 | the term of addiction-recovery supervision. A panel of not fewer |
| 1237 | than two parole commissioners shall establish the terms and |
| 1238 | conditions of supervision, and the terms and conditions must be |
| 1239 | included in the supervision order. In setting the terms and |
| 1240 | conditions of supervision, the parole commission shall weigh |
| 1241 | heavily the program requirements, including, but not limited to, |
| 1242 | work at paid employment while participating in treatment and |
| 1243 | traveling restrictions. The commission shall also determine |
| 1244 | whether an offender violates the terms and conditions of |
| 1245 | supervision and whether a violation warrants revocation of |
| 1246 | addiction-recovery supervision pursuant to s. 947.141. The |
| 1247 | parole commission shall review the offender's record for the |
| 1248 | purpose of establishing the terms and conditions of supervision. |
| 1249 | The parole commission may impose any special conditions it |
| 1250 | considers warranted from its review of the record. The length of |
| 1251 | supervision may not exceed the maximum penalty imposed by the |
| 1252 | court. |
| 1253 | (7) While participating in a substance abuse transition |
| 1254 | housing program, an offender shall: |
| 1255 | (b) Pay fees to defray program costs, costs of supervision |
| 1256 | required under s. 948.09, and any restitution or obligations for |
| 1257 | child support. |
| 1258 | Section 33. For the purpose of incorporating the amendment |
| 1259 | to section 948.10, Florida Statutes, in a reference thereto, |
| 1260 | section 947.1747, Florida Statutes, is reenacted to read: |
| 1261 | 947.1747 Community control as a special condition of |
| 1262 | parole.--Upon the establishment of an effective parole release |
| 1263 | date as provided for in ss. 947.1745 and 947.1746, the |
| 1264 | commission may, as a special condition of parole, require an |
| 1265 | inmate to be placed in the community control program of the |
| 1266 | Department of Corrections as described in s. 948.10 for a period |
| 1267 | not exceeding 6 months. In every case in which the commission |
| 1268 | decides to place an inmate on community control as a special |
| 1269 | condition of parole, the commission shall provide a written |
| 1270 | explanation of the reasons for its decision. |
| 1271 | Section 34. In the event that any amendment made by the |
| 1272 | provisions of this act conflicts with any substantive amendment |
| 1273 | made to this chapter by other legislative enactments passed in |
| 1274 | the 2004 Regular Session, the provisions of this act shall be |
| 1275 | subordinate to other enactments, regardless of the order of |
| 1276 | passage. It is the intent of the Legislature that this act |
| 1277 | effect no substantive changes to the law. |
| 1278 | Section 35. This act shall take effect July 1, 2004. |
