| 65 | predator by the Department of Corrections, the department, or |
| 66 | any other law enforcement agency and if: |
| 67 | 1. The court did not, for whatever reason, make a written |
| 68 | finding at the time of sentencing that the offender was a sexual |
| 69 | predator; or |
| 70 | 2. The offender was administratively registered as a |
| 71 | sexual predator because the Department of Corrections, the |
| 72 | department, or any other law enforcement agency obtained |
| 73 | information that indicated that the offender met the criteria |
| 74 | for designation as a sexual predator based on a violation of a |
| 75 | similar law in another jurisdiction, |
| 76 |
|
| 77 | the department shall remove that offender from the department's |
| 78 | list of sexual predators and, for an offender described under |
| 79 | subparagraph 1., shall notify the state attorney who prosecuted |
| 80 | the offense that met the criteria for administrative designation |
| 81 | as a sexual predator, and, for an offender described under this |
| 82 | paragraph, shall notify the state attorney of the county where |
| 83 | the offender establishes or maintains a permanent or, temporary, |
| 84 | or transient residence or homelessness status. The state |
| 85 | attorney shall bring the matter to the court's attention in |
| 86 | order to establish that the offender meets the criteria for |
| 87 | designation as a sexual predator. If the court makes a written |
| 88 | finding that the offender is a sexual predator, the offender |
| 89 | must be designated as a sexual predator, must register or be |
| 90 | registered as a sexual predator with the department as provided |
| 91 | in subsection (6), and is subject to the community and public |
| 92 | notification as provided in subsection (7). If the court does |
| 93 | not make a written finding that the offender is a sexual |
| 94 | predator, the offender may not be designated as a sexual |
| 95 | predator with respect to that offense and is not required to |
| 96 | register or be registered as a sexual predator with the |
| 97 | department. |
| 98 | (5) SEXUAL PREDATOR DESIGNATION.-An offender is designated |
| 99 | as a sexual predator as follows: |
| 100 | (a)1. An offender who meets the sexual predator criteria |
| 101 | described in paragraph (4)(d) is a sexual predator, and the |
| 102 | court shall make a written finding at the time such offender is |
| 103 | determined to be a sexually violent predator under chapter 394 |
| 104 | that such person meets the criteria for designation as a sexual |
| 105 | predator for purposes of this section. The clerk shall transmit |
| 106 | a copy of the order containing the written finding to the |
| 107 | department within 48 hours after the entry of the order; |
| 108 | 2. An offender who meets the sexual predator criteria |
| 109 | described in paragraph (4)(a) who is before the court for |
| 110 | sentencing for a current offense committed on or after October |
| 111 | 1, 1993, is a sexual predator, and the sentencing court must |
| 112 | make a written finding at the time of sentencing that the |
| 113 | offender is a sexual predator, and the clerk of the court shall |
| 114 | transmit a copy of the order containing the written finding to |
| 115 | the department within 48 hours after the entry of the order; or |
| 116 | 3. If the Department of Corrections, the department, or |
| 117 | any other law enforcement agency obtains information which |
| 118 | indicates that an offender who establishes or maintains a |
| 119 | permanent or, temporary, or transient residence or homelessness |
| 120 | status in this state meets the sexual predator criteria |
| 121 | described in paragraph (4)(a) or paragraph (4)(d) because the |
| 122 | offender was civilly committed or committed a similar violation |
| 123 | in another jurisdiction on or after October 1, 1993, the |
| 124 | Department of Corrections, the department, or the law |
| 125 | enforcement agency shall notify the state attorney of the county |
| 126 | where the offender establishes or maintains a permanent or, |
| 127 | temporary, or transient residence or homelessness status of the |
| 128 | offender's presence in the community. The state attorney shall |
| 129 | file a petition with the criminal division of the circuit court |
| 130 | for the purpose of holding a hearing to determine if the |
| 131 | offender's criminal record or record of civil commitment from |
| 132 | another jurisdiction meets the sexual predator criteria. If the |
| 133 | court finds that the offender meets the sexual predator criteria |
| 134 | because the offender has violated a similar law or similar laws |
| 135 | in another jurisdiction, the court shall make a written finding |
| 136 | that the offender is a sexual predator. |
| 137 |
|
| 138 | When the court makes a written finding that an offender is a |
| 139 | sexual predator, the court shall inform the sexual predator of |
| 140 | the registration and community and public notification |
| 141 | requirements described in this section. Within 48 hours after |
| 142 | the court designating an offender as a sexual predator, the |
| 143 | clerk of the circuit court shall transmit a copy of the court's |
| 144 | written sexual predator finding to the department. If the |
| 145 | offender is sentenced to a term of imprisonment or supervision, |
| 146 | a copy of the court's written sexual predator finding must be |
| 147 | submitted to the Department of Corrections. |

| 291 | sheriff's office to which he or she reported pursuant to |
| 292 | subparagraph 2. for the purpose of reporting his or her address |
| 293 | at such residence. A sexual predator who fails to update this |
| 294 | registration on monthly basis as required in subparagraph 2. |
| 295 | violates this registration requirement. This registration is in |
| 296 | addition to any other registration mandated by this section. If |

| 298 | or place to live, he or she commits a violation of this section. |
| 299 | When the sheriff receives the report, the sheriff shall promptly |
| 300 | convey the information to the department. An offender who makes |

| 309 | system through which sexual predators may securely access and |
| 310 | update all electronic mail address and instant message name |
| 311 | information. |
| 312 | (i) A sexual predator who intends to establish a permanent |
| 313 | or, temporary, or transient residence or homelessness status in |
| 314 | another state or jurisdiction other than the State of Florida |
| 315 | shall report in person to the sheriff of the county of current |
| 316 | residence within 48 hours before the date he or she intends to |
| 317 | leave this state to establish residence in another state or |
| 318 | jurisdiction. The sexual predator must provide to the sheriff |
| 319 | the address, municipality, county, and state of intended |
| 320 | residence. The sheriff shall promptly provide to the department |
| 321 | the information received from the sexual predator. The |
| 322 | department shall notify the statewide law enforcement agency, or |
| 323 | a comparable agency, in the intended state or jurisdiction of |
| 324 | residence of the sexual predator's intended residence. The |
| 325 | failure of a sexual predator to provide his or her intended |
| 326 | place of residence is punishable as provided in subsection (10). |
| 327 | (j) A sexual predator who indicates his or her intent to |
| 328 | establish a permanent or, temporary, or transient residence or |
| 329 | homelessness status in another state or jurisdiction other than |

| 335 | remain in this state. If the sheriff is notified by the sexual |
| 336 | predator that he or she intends to remain in this state, the |
| 337 | sheriff shall promptly report this information to the |
| 338 | department. A sexual predator who reports his or her intent to |
| 339 | establish a permanent or, temporary, or transient residence or |
| 340 | homelessness status in another state or jurisdiction, but who |
| 341 | remains in this state without reporting to the sheriff in the |
| 342 | manner required by this paragraph, commits a felony of the |
| 343 | second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, |
| 344 | or s. 775.084. |

| 387 | supervision of the Department of Corrections and shall report to |
| 388 | the department any failure by a sexual predator to comply with |
| 389 | registration requirements. County and local law enforcement |
| 390 | agencies, in conjunction with the department, shall verify the |
| 391 | addresses of sexual predators who are not under the care, |
| 392 | custody, control, or supervision of the Department of |

| 578 | paragraph (b) for the purpose of reporting his or her address at |

| 580 | or she is seeking shelter. A sexual offender who fails to update |
| 581 | this registration on monthly basis as required in paragraph (b) |
| 582 | violates this registration requirement. This registration is in |
| 583 | addition to any other registration mandated by this section. If |
| 584 | the offender claims to be homeless but actually has a residence |
| 585 | or place to live, he or she commits a violation of this section. |

| 596 | residence, specific sleeping location, or location where he or |
| 597 | she is seeking shelter within 48 hours before the date he or she |
| 598 | intends to leave this state to establish residence or |
| 599 | homelessness status in another state or jurisdiction. The |
| 600 | notification must include the address, municipality, county, and |
| 601 | state of intended residence, specific sleeping location, or |
| 602 | location where he or she is seeking shelter. The sheriff shall |
| 603 | promptly provide to the department the information received from |
| 604 | the sexual offender. The department shall notify the statewide |
| 605 | law enforcement agency, or a comparable agency, in the intended |
| 606 | state or jurisdiction of residence or homelessness status of the |
| 607 | sexual offender's intended residence, specific sleeping |
| 608 | location, or location where he or she is seeking shelter. The |
| 609 | failure of a sexual offender to provide his or her intended |
| 610 | place of residence, specific sleeping location, or location |
| 611 | where he or she is seeking shelter is punishable as provided in |
| 612 | subsection (9). |
| 613 | (8) A sexual offender who indicates his or her intent to |
| 614 | establish a permanent or, temporary, or transient residence or |
| 615 | homelessness status in another state or jurisdiction other than |
| 616 | the State of Florida and later decides to remain in this state |
| 617 | shall, within 48 hours after the date upon which the sexual |
| 618 | offender indicated he or she would leave this state, report in |

| 620 | intended change of permanent or, temporary, or transient |
| 621 | residence or homelessness status, and report his or her intent |
| 622 | to remain in this state. The sheriff shall promptly report this |
| 623 | information to the department. A sexual offender who reports his |
| 624 | or her intent to establish a permanent or, temporary, or |
| 625 | transient residence or homelessness status in another state or |
| 626 | jurisdiction but who remains in this state without reporting to |
| 627 | the sheriff in the manner required by this subsection commits a |
| 628 | felony of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. |
| 629 | 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084. |
| 630 | (10) The department, the Department of Highway Safety and |
| 631 | Motor Vehicles, the Department of Corrections, the Department of |
| 632 | Juvenile Justice, any law enforcement agency in this state, and |
| 633 | the personnel of those departments; an elected or appointed |
| 634 | official, public employee, or school administrator; or an |
| 635 | employee, agency, or any individual or entity acting at the |
| 636 | request or upon the direction of any law enforcement agency is |
| 637 | immune from civil liability for damages for good faith |
| 638 | compliance with the requirements of this section or for the |

| 642 | not overcome if a technical or clerical error is made by the |
| 643 | department, the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, |
| 644 | the Department of Corrections, the Department of Juvenile |
| 645 | Justice, the personnel of those departments, or any individual |
| 646 | or entity acting at the request or upon the direction of any of |
| 647 | those departments in compiling or providing information, or if |
| 648 | information is incomplete or incorrect because a sexual offender |
| 649 | fails to report or falsely reports his or her current place of |
| 650 | permanent or, temporary, or transient residence, specific |
| 651 | sleeping location, or location where he or she is seeking |
| 652 | shelter. |
