767 made by this act to sections 775.21 and 782.04, Florida

770 reenacted to read:
771 39.806 Grounds for termination of parental rights.—
772 (1) Grounds for the termination of parental rights may be
773 established under any of the following circumstances:
774 (d) When the parent of a child is incarcerated and either:
775 1. The period of time for which the parent is expected to
776 be incarcerated will constitute a significant portion of the
777 child’s minority. When determining whether the period of time is
778 significant, the court shall consider the child’s age and the
779 child’s need for a permanent and stable home. The period of time
780 begins on the date that the parent enters into incarceration;
781 2. The incarcerated parent has been determined by the court
782 to be a violent career criminal as defined in s. 775.084, a
783 habitual violent felony offender as defined in s. 775.084, or a
784 sexual predator as defined in s. 775.21; has been convicted of
785 first degree or second degree murder in violation of s. 782.04
786 or a sexual battery that constitutes a capital, life, or first
787 degree felony violation of s. 794.011; or has been convicted of
788 an offense in another jurisdiction which is substantially
789 similar to one of the offenses listed in this paragraph. As used
790 in this section, the term “substantially similar offense” means
791 any offense that is substantially similar in elements and
792 penalties to one of those listed in this subparagraph, and that
793 is in violation of a law of any other jurisdiction, whether that
794 of another state, the District of Columbia, the United States or
795 any possession or territory thereof, or any foreign
796 jurisdiction; or
797 3. The court determines by clear and convincing evidence
798 that continuing the parental relationship with the incarcerated
799 parent would be harmful to the child and, for this reason, that
800 termination of the parental rights of the incarcerated parent is
801 in the best interest of the child. When determining harm, the
802 court shall consider the following factors:
803 a. The age of the child.
804 b. The relationship between the child and the parent.
805 c. The nature of the parent’s current and past provision
806 for the child’s developmental, cognitive, psychological, and
807 physical needs.
808 d. The parent’s history of criminal behavior, which may
809 include the frequency of incarceration and the unavailability of
810 the parent to the child due to incarceration.
811 e. Any other factor the court deems relevant.
812 (n) The parent is convicted of an offense that requires the
813 parent to register as a sexual predator under s. 775.21.
814 Section 17. For the purpose of incorporating the amendments
815 made by this act to sections 775.21 and 782.04, Florida

817 of section 63.089, Florida Statutes, is reenacted to read:
818 63.089 Proceeding to terminate parental rights pending
819 adoption; hearing; grounds; dismissal of petition; judgment.—
820 (4) FINDING OF ABANDONMENT.—A finding of abandonment
821 resulting in a termination of parental rights must be based upon
822 clear and convincing evidence that a parent or person having
823 legal custody has abandoned the child in accordance with the
824 definition contained in s. 63.032. A finding of abandonment may
825 also be based upon emotional abuse or a refusal to provide
826 reasonable financial support, when able, to a birth mother
827 during her pregnancy or on whether the person alleged to have
828 abandoned the child, while being able, failed to establish
829 contact with the child or accept responsibility for the child’s
830 welfare.
831 (b) The child has been abandoned when the parent of a child
832 is incarcerated on or after October 1, 2001, in a federal,
833 state, or county correctional institution and:
834 1. The period of time for which the parent has been or is
835 expected to be incarcerated will constitute a significant
836 portion of the child’s minority. In determining whether the
837 period of time is significant, the court shall consider the
838 child’s age and the child’s need for a permanent and stable
839 home. The period of time begins on the date that the parent
840 enters into incarceration;
841 2. The incarcerated parent has been determined by a court
842 of competent jurisdiction to be a violent career criminal as
843 defined in s. 775.084, a habitual violent felony offender as
844 defined in s. 775.084, convicted of child abuse as defined in s.
845 827.03, or a sexual predator as defined in s. 775.21; has been
846 convicted of first degree or second degree murder in violation
847 of s. 782.04 or a sexual battery that constitutes a capital,
848 life, or first degree felony violation of s. 794.011; or has
849 been convicted of a substantially similar offense in another
850 jurisdiction. As used in this section, the term “substantially
851 similar offense” means any offense that is substantially similar
852 in elements and penalties to one of those listed in this
853 subparagraph, and that is in violation of a law of any other
854 jurisdiction, whether that of another state, the District of
855 Columbia, the United States or any possession or territory
856 thereof, or any foreign jurisdiction; or
857 3. The court determines by clear and convincing evidence
858 that continuing the parental relationship with the incarcerated
859 parent would be harmful to the child and, for this reason,
860 termination of the parental rights of the incarcerated parent is
861 in the best interests of the child.
862 Section 18. For the purpose of incorporating the amendment
863 made by this act to section 782.04, Florida Statutes, in
864 references thereto, subsection (10) of section 95.11, Florida
865 Statutes, is reenacted to read:

867 property.—Actions other than for recovery of real property shall
868 be commenced as follows:

872 under s. 768.21 brought against a natural person for an
873 intentional tort resulting in death from acts described in s.
874 782.04 or s. 782.07 may be commenced at any time. This
875 subsection shall not be construed to require an arrest, the
876 filing of formal criminal charges, or a conviction for a
877 violation of s. 782.04 or s. 782.07 as a condition for filing a
878 civil action.

880 made by this act to section 782.04, Florida Statutes, in

1233 exceed 99 percent of total capacity, the authority shall
1234 determine eligibility for and establish a control release date
1235 for an appropriate number of parole ineligible inmates committed
1236 to the department and incarcerated within the state who have
1237 been determined by the authority to be eligible for
1238 discretionary early release pursuant to this section. In
1239 establishing control release dates, it is the intent of the
1240 Legislature that the authority prioritize consideration of
1241 eligible inmates closest to their tentative release date. The
1242 authority shall rely upon commitment data on the offender
1243 information system maintained by the department to initially
1244 identify inmates who are to be reviewed for control release
1245 consideration. The authority may use a method of objective risk
1246 assessment in determining if an eligible inmate should be
1247 released. Such assessment shall be a part of the department’s
1248 management information system. However, the authority shall have
1249 sole responsibility for determining control release eligibility,
1250 establishing a control release date, and effectuating the
1251 release of a sufficient number of inmates to maintain the inmate
1252 population between 99 percent and 100 percent of total capacity.
1253 Inmates who are ineligible for control release are inmates who
1254 are parole eligible or inmates who:
1255 (i) Are convicted, or have been previously convicted, of
1256 committing or attempting to commit murder in the first, second,
1257 or third degree under s. 782.04(1), (2), (3), or (4), or have
1258 ever been convicted of any degree of murder or attempted murder
1259 in another jurisdiction;
1260
1261 In making control release eligibility determinations under this
1262 subsection, the authority may rely on any document leading to or
1263 generated during the course of the criminal proceedings,
1264 including, but not limited to, any presentence or postsentence
1265 investigation or any information contained in arrest reports
1266 relating to circumstances of the offense.

1293 and shall adjudge that the costs are a lien on all personal
1294 property found in the place of the nuisance and on the failure
1295 of the property to bring enough to pay the costs, then on the

1528 reference thereto, paragraph (b) of subsection (6) of section
1529 39.509, Florida Statutes, is reenacted to read:
1530 39.509 Grandparents rights.—Notwithstanding any other
1531 provision of law, a maternal or paternal grandparent as well as
1532 a stepgrandparent is entitled to reasonable visitation with his
1533 or her grandchild who has been adjudicated a dependent child and
1534 taken from the physical custody of the parent unless the court
1535 finds that such visitation is not in the best interest of the
1536 child or that such visitation would interfere with the goals of
1537 the case plan. Reasonable visitation may be unsupervised and,
1538 where appropriate and feasible, may be frequent and continuing.
1539 Any order for visitation or other contact must conform to the
1540 provisions of s. 39.0139.
1541 (6) In determining whether grandparental visitation is not
1542 in the child’s best interest, consideration may be given to the
1543 following:
1544 (b) The designation by a court as a sexual predator as
1545 defined in s. 775.21 or a substantially similar designation
1546 under laws of another jurisdiction.
1547 Section 39. For the purpose of incorporating the amendment
1548 made by this act to section 775.21, Florida Statutes, in a
1549 reference thereto, subsection (3) of section 63.092, Florida
1550 Statutes, is reenacted to read:
1551 63.092 Report to the court of intended placement by an
1552 adoption entity; at-risk placement; preliminary study.—
1553 (3) PRELIMINARY HOME STUDY.—Before placing the minor in the
1554 intended adoptive home, a preliminary home study must be
1555 performed by a licensed child-placing agency, a child-caring
1556 agency registered under s. 409.176, a licensed professional, or
1557 an agency described in s. 61.20(2), unless the adoptee is an
1558 adult or the petitioner is a stepparent or a relative. If the
1559 adoptee is an adult or the petitioner is a stepparent or a
1560 relative, a preliminary home study may be required by the court
1561 for good cause shown. The department is required to perform the
1562 preliminary home study only if there is no licensed child
1563 placing agency, child-caring agency registered under s. 409.176,
1564 licensed professional, or agency described in s. 61.20(2), in
1565 the county where the prospective adoptive parents reside. The
1566 preliminary home study must be made to determine the suitability
1567 of the intended adoptive parents and may be completed prior to
1568 identification of a prospective adoptive minor. A favorable
1569 preliminary home study is valid for 1 year after the date of its
1570 completion. Upon its completion, a signed copy of the home study
1571 must be provided to the intended adoptive parents who were the
1572 subject of the home study. A minor may not be placed in an
1573 intended adoptive home before a favorable preliminary home study
1574 is completed unless the adoptive home is also a licensed foster
1575 home under s. 409.175. The preliminary home study must include,
1576 at a minimum:
1577 (a) An interview with the intended adoptive parents;
1578 (b) Records checks of the department’s central abuse
1579 registry and criminal records correspondence checks under s.
1580 39.0138 through the Department of Law Enforcement on the
1581 intended adoptive parents;
1582 (c) An assessment of the physical environment of the home;
1583 (d) A determination of the financial security of the
1584 intended adoptive parents;
1585 (e) Documentation of counseling and education of the
1586 intended adoptive parents on adoptive parenting;
1587 (f) Documentation that information on adoption and the
1588 adoption process has been provided to the intended adoptive
1589 parents;
1590 (g) Documentation that information on support services
1591 available in the community has been provided to the intended
1592 adoptive parents; and
1593 (h) A copy of each signed acknowledgment of receipt of
1594 disclosure required by s. 63.085.
1595
1596 If the preliminary home study is favorable, a minor may be
1597 placed in the home pending entry of the judgment of adoption. A
1598 minor may not be placed in the home if the preliminary home
1599 study is unfavorable. If the preliminary home study is
1600 unfavorable, the adoption entity may, within 20 days after
1601 receipt of a copy of the written recommendation, petition the
1602 court to determine the suitability of the intended adoptive
1603 home. A determination as to suitability under this subsection
1604 does not act as a presumption of suitability at the final
1605 hearing. In determining the suitability of the intended adoptive
1606 home, the court must consider the totality of the circumstances
1607 in the home. A minor may not be placed in a home in which there
1608 resides any person determined by the court to be a sexual
1609 predator as defined in s. 775.21 or to have been convicted of an
1610 offense listed in s. 63.089(4)(b)2.

1622 after the filing of the final judgment, send a report of the
1623 judgment to the Department of Law Enforcement on a form to be

1635 new name of the petitioner, and the file number of the judgment.
1636 The Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles shall
1637 monitor the records of any sexual predator or sexual offender
1638 whose name has been provided to it by the Department of Law
1639 Enforcement. If the sexual predator or sexual offender does not
1640 obtain a replacement driver license or identification card
1641 within the required time as specified in s. 775.21 or s.
1642 943.0435, the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles
1643 shall notify the Department of Law Enforcement. The Department
1644 of Law Enforcement shall notify applicable law enforcement
1645 agencies of the predator’s or offender’s failure to comply with
1646 registration requirements. Any information retained by the
1647 Department of Law Enforcement and the Department of Highway
1648 Safety and Motor Vehicles may be revised or supplemented by said
1649 departments to reflect changes made by the final judgment. With
1650 respect to a person convicted of a felony in another state or of
1651 a federal offense, the Department of Law Enforcement must send
1652 the report to the respective state’s office of law enforcement
1653 records or to the office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
1654 The Department of Law Enforcement may forward the report to any
1655 other law enforcement agency it believes may retain information
1656 related to the petitioner.

1859 for purposes of public notification of sexual offenders as

1897 requirement. The sheriff may coordinate and enter into

1899 entities to facilitate additional reporting sites for transient
1900 residence registration required in this subparagraph. The

1908 vacate such residence, report in person to the agency to which
1909 he or she reported pursuant to paragraph (b) for the purpose of
1910 reporting his or her address at such residence. When the sheriff
1911 receives the report, the sheriff shall promptly convey the
1912 information to the department. An offender who makes a report as
1913 required under paragraph (b) but fails to make a report as
1914 required under this paragraph commits a felony of the second
1915 degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s.

2006 Section 55. For the purpose of incorporating the amendments
2007 made by this act to sections 775.21 and 943.0435, Florida
2008 Statutes, in references thereto, paragraph (c) of subsection (2)
2009 and subsections (10) and (12) of section 947.1405, Florida
2010 Statutes, are reenacted to read:
2011 947.1405 Conditional release program.—
2012 (2) Any inmate who:
2013 (c) Is found to be a sexual predator under s. 775.21 or
2014 former s. 775.23,
2015
2016 shall, upon reaching the tentative release date or provisional
2017 release date, whichever is earlier, as established by the
2018 Department of Corrections, be released under supervision subject
2019 to specified terms and conditions, including payment of the cost
2020 of supervision pursuant to s. 948.09. Such supervision shall be
2021 applicable to all sentences within the overall term of sentences
2022 if an inmate’s overall term of sentences includes one or more
2023 sentences that are eligible for conditional release supervision
2024 as provided herein. Effective July 1, 1994, and applicable for
2025 offenses committed on or after that date, the commission may
2026 require, as a condition of conditional release, that the
2027 releasee make payment of the debt due and owing to a county or
2028 municipal detention facility under s. 951.032 for medical care,
2029 treatment, hospitalization, or transportation received by the
2030 releasee while in that detention facility. The commission, in
2031 determining whether to order such repayment and the amount of
2032 such repayment, shall consider the amount of the debt, whether
2033 there was any fault of the institution for the medical expenses
2034 incurred, the financial resources of the releasee, the present
2035 and potential future financial needs and earning ability of the
2036 releasee, and dependents, and other appropriate factors. If any
2037 inmate placed on conditional release supervision is also subject
2038 to probation or community control, resulting from a probationary
2039 or community control split sentence within the overall term of
2040 sentences, the Department of Corrections shall supervise such
2041 person according to the conditions imposed by the court and the
2042 commission shall defer to such supervision. If the court revokes
2043 probation or community control and resentences the offender to a
2044 term of incarceration, such revocation also constitutes a
2045 sufficient basis for the revocation of the conditional release
2046 supervision on any nonprobationary or noncommunity control
2047 sentence without further hearing by the commission. If any such
2048 supervision on any nonprobationary or noncommunity control
2049 sentence is revoked, such revocation may result in a forfeiture
2050 of all gain-time, and the commission may revoke the resulting
2051 deferred conditional release supervision or take other action it
2052 considers appropriate. If the term of conditional release
2053 supervision exceeds that of the probation or community control,
2054 then, upon expiration of the probation or community control,
2055 authority for the supervision shall revert to the commission and
2056 the supervision shall be subject to the conditions imposed by
2057 the commission. A panel of no fewer than two commissioners shall
2058 establish the terms and conditions of any such release. If the
2059 offense was a controlled substance violation, the conditions
2060 shall include a requirement that the offender submit to random
2061 substance abuse testing intermittently throughout the term of
2062 conditional release supervision, upon the direction of the
2063 correctional probation officer as defined in s. 943.10(3). The
2064 commission shall also determine whether the terms and conditions
2065 of such release have been violated and whether such violation
2066 warrants revocation of the conditional release.
2067 (10) Effective for a releasee whose crime was committed on
2068 or after September 1, 2005, in violation of chapter 794, s.
2069 800.04(4), (5), or (6), s. 827.071, or s. 847.0145, and the
2070 unlawful activity involved a victim who was 15 years of age or
2071 younger and the offender is 18 years of age or older or for a
2072 releasee who is designated as a sexual predator pursuant to s.
2073 775.21, in addition to any other provision of this section, the
2074 commission must order electronic monitoring for the duration of
2075 the releasee’s supervision.
2076 (12) In addition to all other conditions imposed, for a
2077 releasee who is subject to conditional release for a crime that
2078 was committed on or after May 26, 2010, and who has been
2079 convicted at any time of committing, or attempting, soliciting,
2080 or conspiring to commit, any of the criminal offenses listed in
2081 s. 943.0435(1)(a)1.a.(I), or a similar offense in another
2082 jurisdiction against a victim who was under 18 years of age at
2083 the time of the offense, if the releasee has not received a
2084 pardon for any felony or similar law of another jurisdiction
2085 necessary for the operation of this subsection, if a conviction
2086 of a felony or similar law of another jurisdiction necessary for
2087 the operation of this subsection has not been set aside in any
2088 postconviction proceeding, or if the releasee has not been
2089 removed from the requirement to register as a sexual offender or
2090 sexual predator pursuant to s. 943.04354, the commission must
2091 impose the following conditions:
2092 (a) A prohibition on visiting schools, child care
2093 facilities, parks, and playgrounds without prior approval from
2094 the releasee’s supervising officer. The commission may also
2095 designate additional prohibited locations to protect a victim.
2096 The prohibition ordered under this paragraph does not prohibit
2097 the releasee from visiting a school, child care facility, park,
2098 or playground for the sole purpose of attending a religious
2099 service as defined in s. 775.0861 or picking up or dropping off
2100 the releasee’s child or grandchild at a child care facility or
2101 school.
2102 (b) A prohibition on distributing candy or other items to
2103 children on Halloween; wearing a Santa Claus costume, or other
2104 costume to appeal to children, on or preceding Christmas;
2105 wearing an Easter Bunny costume, or other costume to appeal to
2106 children, on or preceding Easter; entertaining at children’s
2107 parties; or wearing a clown costume without prior approval from
2108 the commission.
2109 Section 56. For the purpose of incorporating the amendments
2110 made by this act to sections 782.04, 775.21, 943.0435, and
2111 944.607, Florida Statutes, in references thereto, subsection (4)
2112 and paragraphs (b), (c), and (d) of subsection (8) of section
2113 948.06, Florida Statutes, are reenacted to read:
2114 948.06 Violation of probation or community control;
2115 revocation; modification; continuance; failure to pay
2116 restitution or cost of supervision.—
2117 (4) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, a
2118 felony probationer or an offender in community control who is
2119 arrested for violating his or her probation or community control
2120 in a material respect may be taken before the court in the
2121 county or circuit in which the probationer or offender was
2122 arrested. That court shall advise him or her of the charge of a
2123 violation and, if such charge is admitted, shall cause him or
2124 her to be brought before the court that granted the probation or
2125 community control. If the violation is not admitted by the
2126 probationer or offender, the court may commit him or her or
2127 release him or her with or without bail to await further
2128 hearing. However, if the probationer or offender is under
2129 supervision for any criminal offense proscribed in chapter 794,
2130 s. 800.04(4), (5), (6), s. 827.071, or s. 847.0145, or is a
2131 registered sexual predator or a registered sexual offender, or
2132 is under supervision for a criminal offense for which he or she
2133 would meet the registration criteria in s. 775.21, s. 943.0435,
2134 or s. 944.607 but for the effective date of those sections, the
2135 court must make a finding that the probationer or offender is
2136 not a danger to the public prior to release with or without
2137 bail. In determining the danger posed by the offender’s or
2138 probationer’s release, the court may consider the nature and
2139 circumstances of the violation and any new offenses charged; the
2140 offender’s or probationer’s past and present conduct, including
2141 convictions of crimes; any record of arrests without conviction
2142 for crimes involving violence or sexual crimes; any other
2143 evidence of allegations of unlawful sexual conduct or the use of
2144 violence by the offender or probationer; the offender’s or
2145 probationer’s family ties, length of residence in the community,
2146 employment history, and mental condition; his or her history and
2147 conduct during the probation or community control supervision
2148 from which the violation arises and any other previous
2149 supervisions, including disciplinary records of previous
2150 incarcerations; the likelihood that the offender or probationer
2151 will engage again in a criminal course of conduct; the weight of
2152 the evidence against the offender or probationer; and any other
2153 facts the court considers relevant. The court, as soon as is
2154 practicable, shall give the probationer or offender an
2155 opportunity to be fully heard on his or her behalf in person or
2156 by counsel. After the hearing, the court shall make findings of
2157 fact and forward the findings to the court that granted the
2158 probation or community control and to the probationer or
2159 offender or his or her attorney. The findings of fact by the
2160 hearing court are binding on the court that granted the
2161 probation or community control. Upon the probationer or offender
2162 being brought before it, the court that granted the probation or
2163 community control may revoke, modify, or continue the probation
2164 or community control or may place the probationer into community
2165 control as provided in this section. However, the probationer or
2166 offender shall not be released and shall not be admitted to
2167 bail, but shall be brought before the court that granted the
2168 probation or community control if any violation of felony
2169 probation or community control other than a failure to pay costs
2170 or fines or make restitution payments is alleged to have been
2171 committed by:
2172 (a) A violent felony offender of special concern, as
2173 defined in this section;
2174 (b) A person who is on felony probation or community

2179 control and has previously been found by a court to be a

2182 775.084(1)(c), or a sexual predator under s. 775.21, and who is
2183 arrested for committing a qualifying offense as defined in this
2184 section on or after the effective date of this act.
