| 219 | offender or a violent career criminal pursuant to s. 775.084; or |
| 220 | (c) Is found to be a sexual predator under s. 775.21 or |
| 221 | former s. 775.23, |
| 222 |
|
| 223 | shall, upon reaching the tentative release date or provisional |
| 224 | release date, whichever is earlier, as established by the |
| 225 | Department of Corrections, be released under supervision subject |
| 226 | to specified terms and conditions, including payment of the cost |
| 227 | of supervision pursuant to s. 948.09. Such supervision shall be |
| 228 | applicable to all sentences within the overall term of sentences |
| 229 | if an inmate's overall term of sentences includes one or more |
| 230 | sentences that are eligible for conditional release supervision |
| 231 | as provided herein. Effective July 1, 1994, and applicable for |
| 232 | offenses committed on or after that date, the commission may |
| 233 | require, as a condition of conditional release, that the |
| 234 | releasee make payment of the debt due and owing to a county or |
| 235 | municipal detention facility under s. 951.032 for medical care, |
| 236 | treatment, hospitalization, or transportation received by the |
| 237 | releasee while in that detention facility. The commission, in |
| 238 | determining whether to order such repayment and the amount of |
| 239 | such repayment, shall consider the amount of the debt, whether |
| 240 | there was any fault of the institution for the medical expenses |
| 241 | incurred, the financial resources of the releasee, the present |
| 242 | and potential future financial needs and earning ability of the |
| 243 | releasee, and dependents, and other appropriate factors. If any |
| 244 | inmate placed on conditional release supervision is also subject |
| 245 | to probation or community control, resulting from a probationary |
| 246 | or community control split sentence within the overall term of |
| 247 | sentences, the Department of Corrections shall supervise such |
| 248 | person according to the conditions imposed by the court and the |
| 249 | commission shall defer to such supervision. If the court |
| 250 | revokes probation or community control and resentences the |
| 251 | offender to a term of incarceration, such revocation also |
| 252 | constitutes a sufficient basis for the revocation of the |
| 253 | conditional release supervision on any nonprobationary or |
| 254 | noncommunity control sentence without further hearing by the |
| 255 | commission. If any such supervision on any nonprobationary or |
| 256 | noncommunity control sentence is revoked, such revocation may |
| 257 | result in a forfeiture of all gain-time, and the commission may |
| 258 | revoke the resulting deferred conditional release supervision or |
| 259 | take other action it considers appropriate. If the term of |
| 260 | conditional release supervision exceeds that of the probation or |
| 261 | community control, then, upon expiration of the probation or |
| 262 | community control, authority for the supervision shall revert to |
| 263 | the commission and the supervision shall be subject to the |
| 264 | conditions imposed by the commission. A panel of no fewer than |
| 265 | two commissioners shall establish the terms and conditions of |
| 266 | any such release. If the offense was a controlled substance |
| 267 | violation, the conditions shall include a requirement that the |
| 268 | offender submit to random substance abuse testing intermittently |
| 269 | throughout the term of conditional release supervision, upon the |
| 270 | direction of the correctional probation officer as defined in s. |
| 271 | 943.10(3). The commission shall also determine whether the terms |
| 272 | and conditions of such release have been violated and whether |
| 273 | such violation warrants revocation of the conditional release. |
| 274 | Section 6. This act shall take effect July 1, 2006. |
