   59         825.101 Definitions.—As used in this chapter:

   85  financial support or will suffer physical violence.
   86         Section 4. Section 825.103, Florida Statutes, is amended to
   87  read:
   88         825.103 Exploitation of an elderly person or disabled
   89  adult; penalties.—
   90         (1) “Exploitation of an elderly person or disabled adult”
   91  means:
   92         (a) Knowingly, by deception or intimidation, obtaining or
   93  using, or endeavoring to obtain or use, an elderly person’s or
   94  disabled adult’s funds, assets, or property with the intent to
   95  temporarily or permanently deprive the elderly person or
   96  disabled adult of the use, benefit, or possession of the funds,
   97  assets, or property, or to benefit someone other than the
   98  elderly person or disabled adult, by a person who:
   99         1. Stands in a position of trust and confidence with the
  100  elderly person or disabled adult; or

  103         (b) Obtaining or using, endeavoring to obtain or use, or
  104  conspiring with another to obtain or use an elderly person’s or
  105  disabled adult’s funds, assets, or property with the intent to
  106  temporarily or permanently deprive the elderly person or
  107  disabled adult of the use, benefit, or possession of the funds,
  108  assets, or property, or to benefit someone other than the
  109  elderly person or disabled adult, by a person who knows or
  110  reasonably should know that the elderly person or disabled adult
  111  lacks the capacity to consent; or
  112         (c) Breach of a fiduciary duty to an elderly person or
  113  disabled adult by the person’s guardian, trustee who is an
  114  individual, or agent under a power of attorney which results in
  115  an unauthorized appropriation, sale, or transfer of property. An
  116  unauthorized appropriation under this paragraph occurs when the
  117  elderly person or disabled adult does not receive the reasonably
  118  equivalent financial value in goods or services, or when the
  119  fiduciary violates any of these duties:
  120         1. For agents appointed under chapter 709:
  121         a. Committing fraud in obtaining their appointments;
  122         b. Abusing their powers;
  123         c. Wasting, embezzling, or intentionally mismanaging the
  124  assets of the principal or beneficiary; or
  125         d. Acting contrary to the principal’s sole benefit or best
  126  interest; or
  127         2. For guardians and trustees who are individuals and who
  128  are appointed under chapter 736 or chapter 744:
  129         a. Committing fraud in obtaining their appointments;
  130         b. Abusing their powers; or
  131         c. Wasting, embezzling, or intentionally mismanaging the
  132  assets of the ward or beneficiary of the trust;
  133         (d) Misappropriating, misusing, or transferring without
  134  authorization money belonging to an elderly person or disabled
  135  adult from an account in which the elderly person or disabled
  136  adult placed the funds, owned the funds, and was the sole
  137  contributor or payee of the funds before the misappropriation,
  138  misuse, or unauthorized transfer. This paragraph only applies to
  139  the following types of accounts:
  140         1. Personal accounts;
  141         2. Joint accounts created with the intent that only the
  142  elderly person or disabled adult enjoys all rights, interests,
  143  and claims to moneys deposited into such account; or
  144         3. Convenience accounts created in accordance with s.
  145  655.80; or
  146         (e) Intentionally or negligently failing to effectively use
  147  an elderly person’s or disabled adult’s income and assets for
  148  the necessities required for that person’s support and
  149  maintenance, by a caregiver or a person who stands in a position
  150  of trust and confidence with the elderly person or disabled
  151  adult.
  152         (2) Any inter vivos transfer of money or property valued in
  153  excess of $10,000 at the time of the transfer, whether in a
  154  single transaction or multiple transactions, by a person age 65
  155  or older to a nonrelative whom the transferor knew for fewer
  156  than 2 years before the first transfer and for which the
  157  transferor did not receive the reasonably equivalent financial
  158  value in goods or services creates a permissive presumption that
  159  the transfer was the result of exploitation.
  160         (a) This subsection applies regardless of whether the
  161  transfer or transfers are denoted by the parties as a gift or
  162  loan, except that it does not apply to a valid loan evidenced in
  163  writing that includes definite repayment dates. However, if
  164  repayment of any such loan is in default, in whole or in part,
  165  for more than 65 days, the presumption of this subsection
  166  applies.
  167         (b) This subsection does not apply to:
  168         1. Persons who are in the business of making loans.
  169         2. Bona fide charitable donations to nonprofit
  170  organizations that qualify for tax exempt status under the
  171  Internal Revenue Code.
  172         (c) In a criminal case to which this subsection applies, if
  173  the trial is by jury, jurors shall be instructed that they may,
  174  but are not required to, draw an inference of exploitation upon
  175  proof beyond a reasonable doubt of the facts listed in this
  176  subsection. The presumption of this subsection imposes no burden
  177  of proof on the defendant.
  178         (3)(2)(a) If the funds, assets, or property involved in the
  179  exploitation of the elderly person or disabled adult is valued
  180  at $50,000 $100,000 or more, the offender commits a felony of
  181  the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s.
  182  775.083, or s. 775.084.
  183         (b) If the funds, assets, or property involved in the
  184  exploitation of the elderly person or disabled adult is valued
  185  at $10,000 $20,000 or more, but less than $50,000 $100,000, the
  186  offender commits a felony of the second degree, punishable as
  187  provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.
  188         (c) If the funds, assets, or property involved in the
  189  exploitation of an elderly person or disabled adult is valued at
  190  less than $10,000 $20,000, the offender commits a felony of the
  191  third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083,
  192  or s. 775.084.
  193         (4) If a person is charged with financial exploitation of
  194  an elderly person or disabled adult that involves the taking of
  195  or loss of property valued at more than $5,000 and property
  196  belonging to a victim is seized from the defendant pursuant to a
  197  search warrant, the court shall hold an evidentiary hearing and
  198  determine, by a preponderance of the evidence, whether the
  199  defendant unlawfully obtained the victim’s property. If the
  200  court finds that the property was unlawfully obtained, the court
  201  may order it returned to the victim for restitution purposes
  202  before trial on the charge. This determination is inadmissible
  203  in evidence at trial on the charge and does not give rise to any
  204  inference that the defendant has committed an offense under this
  205  section.
  206         Section 5. Section 943.0412, Florida Statutes, is created
  207  to read:
  208         943.0412 Identity Theft and Fraud Grant Program.—

  214  funds specifically appropriated for the grant program shall be
  215  awarded annually by the department to local law enforcement
  216  agencies. The total amount of grants awarded may not exceed
  217  funding appropriated for the grant program.
  218         (3) The department may establish criteria and set specific
  219  time periods for the acceptance of applications and for the
  220  selection process for awards.

  485  reference thereto, subsection (1) of section 772.11, Florida
  486  Statutes, is reenacted to read:
  487         772.11 Civil remedy for theft or exploitation.—
  488         (1) Any person who proves by clear and convincing evidence
  489  that he or she has been injured in any fashion by reason of any
  490  violation of ss. 812.012-812.037 or s. 825.103(1) has a cause of
  491  action for threefold the actual damages sustained and, in any
  492  such action, is entitled to minimum damages in the amount of
  493  $200, and reasonable attorney’s fees and court costs in the
  494  trial and appellate courts. Before filing an action for damages
  495  under this section, the person claiming injury must make a
  496  written demand for $200 or the treble damage amount of the
  497  person liable for damages under this section. If the person to
  498  whom a written demand is made complies with such demand within
  499  30 days after receipt of the demand, that person shall be given
  500  a written release from further civil liability for the specific
  501  act of theft or exploitation by the person making the written
  502  demand. Any person who has a cause of action under this section
  503  may recover the damages allowed under this section from the
  504  parents or legal guardian of any unemancipated minor who lives
  505  with his or her parents or legal guardian and who is liable for
  506  damages under this section. Punitive damages may not be awarded
  507  under this section. The defendant is entitled to recover
  508  reasonable attorney’s fees and court costs in the trial and
  509  appellate courts upon a finding that the claimant raised a claim
  510  that was without substantial fact or legal support. In awarding
  511  attorney’s fees and costs under this section, the court may not
  512  consider the ability of the opposing party to pay such fees and
  513  costs. This section does not limit any right to recover
  514  attorney’s fees or costs provided under any other law.
