       The Committee on Budget (Wise) recommended the following:
       
    1         Senate Amendment (with title amendment)
    2  
    3         Between lines 22 and 23
    4  insert:
    5         Section 2. Subsections (4) and (5) of section 947.141,
    6  Florida Statutes, are amended to read:
    7         947.141 Violations of conditional release, control release,
    8  or conditional medical release or addiction-recovery
    9  supervision.—
   10         (4) Within a reasonable time following the hearing, the
   11  commissioner or the commissioner’s duly authorized
   12  representative who conducted the hearing shall make findings of
   13  fact in regard to the alleged violation. A panel of no fewer
   14  than two commissioners shall enter an order determining whether
   15  the charge of violation of conditional release, control release,
   16  conditional medical release, or addiction-recovery supervision
   17  has been sustained based upon the findings of fact presented by
   18  the hearing commissioner or authorized representative. By such
   19  order, the panel may revoke conditional release, control
   20  release, conditional medical release, or addiction-recovery
   21  supervision and thereby return the releasee to prison to serve
   22  the sentence imposed, reinstate the original order granting the
   23  release, or enter such other order as it considers proper.
   24  Effective for inmates whose offenses were committed on or after
   25  July 1, 1995, the panel may order the placement of a releasee,
   26  upon a finding of violation pursuant to this subsection, into a
   27  state prison, as defined by s. 944.08, or a local detention
   28  facility as a condition of supervision.
   29         (5) Effective for inmates whose offenses were committed on
   30  or after July 1, 1995, notwithstanding the provisions of ss.
   31  775.08, former 921.001, 921.002, 921.187, 921.188, 944.02, and
   32  951.23, or any other law to the contrary, by such order as
   33  provided in subsection (4), the panel, upon a finding of guilt,
   34  may, as a condition of continued supervision, place the releasee
   35  in a state prison or local detention facility for a period of
   36  incarceration not to exceed 22 months. Before Prior to the
   37  expiration of the term of incarceration, or upon recommendation
   38  of the warden or chief correctional officer of that county, the
   39  commission shall cause inquiry into the inmate’s release plan
   40  and custody status in the state prison or detention facility and
   41  consider whether to restore the inmate to supervision, modify
   42  the conditions of supervision, or enter an order of revocation,
   43  thereby causing the return of the inmate to prison to serve the
   44  sentence imposed. The provisions of This section does do not
   45  prohibit the panel from entering such other order or conducting
   46  any investigation that it deems proper. The commission may only
   47  place a person in a local detention facility pursuant to this
   48  section only if there is a contractual agreement between the
   49  chief correctional officer of that county and the Department of
   50  Corrections. The agreement must provide for a per diem
   51  reimbursement for each person placed under this section, which
   52  is payable by the Department of Corrections for the duration of
   53  the offender’s placement in the facility. This section does not
   54  limit the commission’s ability to place a person in a state
   55  prison or local detention facility for less than 1 year.
