162     (b)  In order to be counted as a prior felony for purposes
163of this subsection, the felony must have resulted in a
164conviction sentenced separately, or an adjudication of
165delinquency entered separately, prior to the current offense and
166sentenced or adjudicated separately from any other felony
167conviction that is to be counted as a prior felony. If the
168offender's prior enumerated felony was committed more than 10
169years before the primary offense, it shall not be considered a
170prior felony under this subsection if the offender has not been
171convicted of any other crime for a period of 10 consecutive
172years from the most recent date of release from confinement,
173supervision, or sanction, whichever is later.
174     (6)  REGISTRATION.--
175     (l)  A sexual predator must maintain registration with the
176department for the duration of his or her life, unless the
177sexual predator has received a full pardon or has had a
178conviction set aside in a postconviction proceeding for any
179offense that met the criteria for the sexual predator
180designation. However, a sexual predator who was designated as a
181sexual predator by a court before October 1, 1998, and who has
182been lawfully released from confinement, supervision, or
183sanction, whichever is later, for at least 10 years and has not
184been arrested for any felony or misdemeanor offense since
185release, may petition the criminal division of the circuit court
186in the circuit in which the sexual predator resides for the
187purpose of removing the sexual predator designation. A sexual
188predator who was designated a sexual predator by a court on or
189after October 1, 1998, who has been lawfully released from
190confinement, supervision, or sanction, whichever is later, for
191at least 20 years, and who has not been arrested for any felony
192or misdemeanor offense since release may petition the criminal
193division of the circuit court in the circuit in which the sexual
194predator resides for the purpose of removing the sexual predator
195designation. A sexual predator who was designated as a sexual
196predator by a court on or after September 1, 2005, who has been
197lawfully released from confinement, supervision, or sanction,
198whichever is later, for at least 30 years, and who has not been
199arrested for any felony or misdemeanor offense since release may
200petition the criminal division of the circuit court in the
201circuit in which the sexual predator resides for the purpose of
202removing the sexual predator designation. The court may grant or
203deny such relief if the petitioner demonstrates to the court
204that he or she has not been arrested for any crime since
205release, the requested relief complies with the provisions of
206the federal Jacob Wetterling Act, as amended, and any other
207federal standards applicable to the removal of the designation
208as a sexual predator or required to be met as a condition for
209the receipt of federal funds by the state, and the court is
210otherwise satisfied that the petitioner is not a current or
211potential threat to public safety. The state attorney in the
212circuit in which the petition is filed must be given notice of
213the petition at least 3 weeks before the hearing on the matter.
214The state attorney may present evidence in opposition to the
215requested relief or may otherwise demonstrate the reasons why
216the petition should be denied. If the court denies the petition,
217the court may set a future date at which the sexual predator may
218again petition the court for relief, subject to the standards
219for relief provided in this paragraph. Unless specified in the
220order, a sexual predator who is granted relief under this
221paragraph must comply with the requirements for registration as
222a sexual offender and other requirements provided under s.
223943.0435 or s. 944.607. If a petitioner obtains an order from

227to the department in order to have the sexual predator
228designation removed from the sexual predator registry.

235provisions of the federal Jacob Wetterling Act, as amended, and
236any other federal standards applicable to such verification or
237required to be met as a condition for the receipt of federal
238funds by the state. The Department of Corrections shall verify
239the addresses of sexual predators who are not incarcerated but
240who reside in the community under the supervision of the
241Department of Corrections. County and local law enforcement
242agencies, in conjunction with the department, shall verify the

317secure a payment from such a predator or offender; who knowingly
318distributes or publishes false information relating to such a
319predator or offender which the person misrepresents as being
320public records information; or who materially alters public
321records information with the intent to misrepresent the
322information, including documents, summaries of public records
323information provided by law enforcement agencies, or public

342the predator has been provided and advised of his or her
343statutory obligation to register under subsection (6). A sexual
344predator's failure to immediately register as required by this

352register may not assert the defense of a lack of notice of the
353duty to register.

362predator about, or to arrest the sexual predator for, his or her
363noncompliance with the requirements of this section:
364     1.  Withholds information from, or does not notify, the law
365enforcement agency about the sexual predator's noncompliance
366with the requirements of this section, and, if known, the

382facility, a local jail, or a federal correctional facility.

900after serving such period as may be imposed by the court. The

915court may impose any sentence that it could have imposed at the
916time the offender was placed on probation or community control.
917The court may not provide credit for time served for any portion
918of a probation or community control term toward a subsequent
919term of probation or community control. However, the court may
920not impose a subsequent term of probation or community control
921which, when combined with any amount of time served on preceding
922terms of probation or community control for offenses pending
923before the court for sentencing, would exceed the maximum
924penalty allowable as provided in s. 775.082. Such term of
925incarceration shall be served under applicable law or county
926ordinance governing service of sentences in state or county
927jurisdiction. This paragraph does not prohibit any other
928sanction provided by law.
929     (3)  The court may also impose split probation whereby,
930upon satisfactory completion of half the term of probation, the
931Department of Corrections may place the offender on
932administrative probation for the remainder of the term of
933supervision.
934     (4)  Effective for offenses committed on or after September
9351, 2005, the court must impose a split sentence pursuant to
936subsection (1) for any person who is convicted of a life felony
937for lewd and lascivious molestation pursuant to s. 800.04(5)(b)
938if the court imposes a term of years in accordance with s.
939775.082(3)4.b. rather than life imprisonment. The probation or
940community control portion of the split sentence imposed by the
941court for a defendant must extend for the duration of the
942defendant's natural life and include a condition that he or she
943be electronically monitored.
