       The Appropriations Committee on Criminal and Civil Justice

    1         Senate Substitute for Amendment (105746) (with title
    2  amendment)
    3  
    4         Delete everything after the enacting clause
    5  and insert:
    6         Section 1. Present subsections (3) and (4) of section
    7  741.28, Florida Statutes, are redesignated as subsections (4)
    8  and (5), respectively, and a new subsection (3) and subsection
    9  (6) are added to that section, to read:
   10         741.28 Domestic violence; definitions.—As used in ss.
   11  741.28-741.31:
   12         (3)“Electronic monitoring” means tracking the location of
   13  a person through the use of technology that is capable of
   14  determining or identifying the monitored person’s presence or
   15  absence at a particular location, including, but not limited to:
   16         (a)Radio frequency signaling technology, which detects if
   17  the monitored person is or is not at an approved location and
   18  notifies the monitoring agency of the time that the monitored
   19  person either leaves the approved location or tampers with or
   20  removes the monitoring device; or
   21         (b)Active or passive global positioning system technology,
   22  which detects the location of the monitored person and notifies
   23  the monitoring agency of the monitored person’s location and
   24  which may also include electronic monitoring with victim
   25  notification technology that is capable of notifying a victim or
   26  protected party, either directly or through a monitoring agency,
   27  if the monitored person enters within the restricted distance of
   28  a victim or protected party or within the restricted distance of
   29  a designated location.
   30         (6)“Military protective order” means a protective order
   31  issued in accordance with 10 U.S.C. s. 1567 by a commanding
   32  officer in the Armed Forces of the United States or the National
   33  Guard of any state against a person under such officer’s
   34  command.
   35         Section 2. Section 741.2801, Florida Statutes, is created
   36  to read:
   37         741.2801Domestic violence; enhanced penalties.—
   38         (1)As used in this section, the term “conviction” means a
   39  determination of guilt that is the result of a plea or trial,
   40  regardless of whether adjudication is withheld or a plea of nolo
   41  contendere is entered.
   42         (2)If a person has a prior conviction for a crime of
   43  domestic violence, upon a finding by the factfinder that the
   44  defendant committed a second or subsequent offense of domestic
   45  violence, the penalty for any such felony or misdemeanor offense
   46  may be enhanced. Any penalty enhancement affects the applicable
   47  statutory maximum penalty only. Each of the findings required as
   48  a basis for such sentence must be found beyond a reasonable
   49  doubt. The enhancement will be as follows:
   50         (a)A misdemeanor of the second degree may be punished as
   51  if it were a misdemeanor of the first degree.
   52         (b)A misdemeanor of the first degree may be punished as if
   53  it were a felony of the third degree. For purposes of sentencing
   54  under chapter 921, such offense is ranked in level 1 of the
   55  offense severity ranking chart.
   56         (c)A felony of the third degree may be punished as if it
   57  were a felony of the second degree.
   58         (d)A felony of the second degree may be punished as if it
   59  were a felony of the first degree.
   60         (e)A felony of the first degree may be punished as if it
   61  were a life felony.
   62  
   63  For purposes of sentencing under chapter 921 and determining
   64  incentive gain-time eligibility under chapter 944, such felony
   65  offense is ranked as provided in s. 921.0022 or s. 921.0023 and
   66  without regard to the penalty enhancement in this section.
   67         Section 3. Section 741.281, Florida Statutes, is amended to
   68  read:
   69         741.281 Court to order batterers’ intervention program
   70  attendance; electronic monitoring.—
   71         (1) If a person is found guilty of, has adjudication
   72  withheld on, or pleads nolo contendere to a crime of domestic
   73  violence, as defined in s. 741.28, that person shall be ordered
   74  by the court to a minimum term of 1 year’s probation and the
   75  court shall order that the defendant attend and complete a
   76  batterers’ intervention program as a condition of probation. The
   77  court must impose the condition of the batterers’ intervention
   78  program for a defendant under this section, but the court, in
   79  its discretion, may determine not to impose the condition if it
   80  states on the record why a batterers’ intervention program might
   81  be inappropriate. The court must impose the condition of the
   82  batterers’ intervention program for a defendant placed on
   83  probation unless the court determines that the person does not
   84  qualify for the batterers’ intervention program pursuant to s.
   85  741.325. The imposition of probation under this section does not
   86  preclude the court from imposing any sentence of imprisonment
   87  authorized by s. 775.082.
   88         (2)If a person is found guilty of, has adjudication
   89  withheld on, or pleads nolo contendere to a crime of domestic
   90  violence, and the court enters a no contact order with the
   91  victim as a condition of his or her probation, the court:
   92         (a)May order the person to have electronic monitoring
   93  supervision as a condition of his or her probation.
   94         (b)Must order the person to have electronic monitoring
   95  supervision as a condition of his or her probation if:
   96         1.The court finds there is clear and convincing evidence
   97  that the defendant poses a threat of violence or physical harm
   98  to the victim; or
   99         2.The defendant has previously been convicted for
  100  violating an injunction for protection against domestic
  101  violence, dating violence, repeat violence, sexual violence, or
  102  stalking.
  103         Section 4. Paragraph (b) of subsection (3), paragraph (b)
  104  of subsection (6), and paragraph (b) of subsection (8) of

  309  domestic violence injunction, unless the court makes written
  310  factual findings in its judgment or order which are based on
  311  substantial evidence, stating why a batterers’ intervention
  312  program would be inappropriate.

  324  and such officer determines that a military protective order
  325  entered into the National Crime Information Center database was
  326  also issued against such person and the officer has probable
  327  cause to believe that the person also violated the military
  328  protective order, the officer, or his or her employing agency,

  330  protective order into the database.
  331         Section 6. Subsection (3) is added to section 784.047,

  336  prosecution under this section, the court may order the
  337  respondent to electronic monitoring supervision for the duration
  338  of the injunction for protection. If electronic monitoring is
  339  ordered, the court must establish exclusion zones and include
  340  safety planning and informed consent for the petitioner. The
  341  respondent is responsible for paying for the electronic
  342  monitoring services as provided in s. 948.09(2).
  343         (b)The court must order the respondent to electronic
  344  monitoring supervision if the court finds that either of the

  363  Legal status points are assessed when any form of legal status
  364  existed at the time the offender committed an offense before the
  365  court for sentencing. Four (4) sentence points are assessed for
  366  an offender’s legal status.
  367  
  368  Community sanction violation points are assessed when a
  369  community sanction violation is before the court for sentencing.
  370  Six (6) sentence points are assessed for each community sanction
  371  violation and each successive community sanction violation,
  372  unless any of the following apply:
  373         1. If the community sanction violation includes a new
  374  felony conviction before the sentencing court, twelve (12)
  375  community sanction violation points are assessed for the
  376  violation, and for each successive community sanction violation
  377  involving a new felony conviction.
  378         2. If the community sanction violation is committed by a
  379  violent felony offender of special concern as defined in s.
  380  948.06:
  381         a. Twelve (12) community sanction violation points are
  382  assessed for the violation and for each successive violation of
  383  felony probation or community control where:
  384         I. The violation does not include a new felony conviction;
  385  and
  386         II. The community sanction violation is not based solely on
  387  the probationer or offender’s failure to pay costs or fines or
  388  make restitution payments.
  389         b. Twenty-four (24) community sanction violation points are
  390  assessed for the violation and for each successive violation of
  391  felony probation or community control where the violation
  392  includes a new felony conviction.
  393  
  394  Multiple counts of community sanction violations before the
  395  sentencing court shall not be a basis for multiplying the
  396  assessment of community sanction violation points.
  397  
  398  Prior serious felony points: If the offender has a primary
  399  offense or any additional offense ranked in level 8, level 9, or
  400  level 10, and one or more prior serious felonies, a single
  401  assessment of thirty (30) points shall be added. For purposes of
  402  this section, a prior serious felony is an offense in the
  403  offender’s prior record that is ranked in level 8, level 9, or
  404  level 10 under s. 921.0022 or s. 921.0023 and for which the
  405  offender is serving a sentence of confinement, supervision, or
  406  other sanction or for which the offender’s date of release from
  407  confinement, supervision, or other sanction, whichever is later,
  408  is within 3 years before the date the primary offense or any
  409  additional offense was committed.
  410  
  411  Prior capital felony points: If the offender has one or more
  412  prior capital felonies in the offender’s criminal record, points
  413  shall be added to the subtotal sentence points of the offender
  414  equal to twice the number of points the offender receives for
  415  the primary offense and any additional offense. A prior capital
  416  felony in the offender’s criminal record is a previous capital
  417  felony offense for which the offender has entered a plea of nolo
  418  contendere or guilty or has been found guilty; or a felony in
  419  another jurisdiction which is a capital felony in that
  420  jurisdiction, or would be a capital felony if the offense were
  421  committed in this state.

  429  attempting to commit any felony other than those enumerated in
  430  s. 775.087(3) while having in his or her possession a

  438  animal cruelty under s. 828.12(2), which included the knowing
  439  and intentional torture or torment of an animal that injured,

  441  are multiplied by 1.25. As used in this paragraph, the term
  442  “animal” does not include an animal used for agricultural
  443  purposes or permitted as captive wildlife as authorized under s.
  444  379.303.
  445  
  446  Drug trafficking: If the primary offense is drug trafficking
  447  under s. 893.135, the subtotal sentence points are multiplied,
  448  at the discretion of the court, for a level 7 or level 8
  449  offense, by 1.5. The state attorney may move the sentencing
  450  court to reduce or suspend the sentence of a person convicted of

  452  substantial assistance as described in s. 893.135(4).

  454  Violent offenses committed against specified justice system
  455  personnel: If the primary offense is a violation of s.

  457  multiplied by 2.5. If the primary offense is a violation of s.
  458  775.0823(5), (6), (7), (8), or (9), the subtotal sentence points
  459  are multiplied by 2.0. If the primary offense is a violation of
  460  s. 784.07(3) or s. 775.0875(1), or s. 775.0823(10) or (11), the

  463  Grand theft of a motor vehicle: If the primary offense is grand
  464  theft of the third degree involving a motor vehicle and in the
  465  offender’s prior record, there are three or more grand thefts of
  466  the third degree involving a motor vehicle, the subtotal
  467  sentence points are multiplied by 1.5.
  468  
  469  Fleeing or attempting to elude a law enforcement officer: If the
  470  primary offense is fleeing or attempting to elude a law
  471  enforcement officer or aggravated fleeing or eluding in
  472  violation of s. 316.1935, and in the offender’s prior record,
  473  there is one or more violation of s. 316.1935, the subtotal
  474  sentence points are multiplied by 1.5.
  475  
  476  Offense related to a criminal gang: If the offender is convicted
  477  of the primary offense and committed that offense for the
  478  purpose of benefiting, promoting, or furthering the interests of
  479  a criminal gang as defined in s. 874.03, the subtotal sentence
  480  points are multiplied by 1.5. If applying the multiplier results
  481  in the lowest permissible sentence exceeding the statutory
  482  maximum sentence for the primary offense under chapter 775, the
  483  court may not apply the multiplier and must sentence the
  484  defendant to the statutory maximum sentence.
  485  
  486  Domestic violence in the presence of a child: If the offender is
  487  convicted of the primary offense and the primary offense is a
  488  crime of domestic violence, as defined in s. 741.28, which was
  489  committed in the presence of a child under 16 years of age who
  490  is a family or household member, as defined in s. 741.28, s.
  491  741.28(3) with the victim or perpetrator, the subtotal sentence
  492  points are multiplied by 1.5.
  493  
  494         Adult-on-minor sex offense: If the offender was 18 years of
  495  age or older and the victim was younger than 18 years of age at
  496  the time the offender committed the primary offense, and if the
  497  primary offense was an offense committed on or after October 1,
  498  2014, and is a violation of s. 787.01(2) or s. 787.02(2), if the

  500  of committing that violation, the defendant committed a sexual

  504  800.04; or s. 847.0135(5), the subtotal sentence points are
  505  multiplied by 2.0. If applying the multiplier results in the
  506  lowest permissible sentence exceeding the statutory maximum
  507  sentence for the primary offense under chapter 775, the court
  508  may not apply the multiplier and must sentence the defendant to
  509  the statutory maximum sentence.
