180 (b) The child is alleged to be an escapee from a
181 residential commitment program; or an absconder from a
182 nonresidential commitment program, a probation program, or
183 conditional release supervision; or is alleged to have escaped

190 to be detained for protection from an imminent physical threat
191 to his or her personal safety.

193 domestic violence as defined in s. 741.28 and is detained as
194 provided in subsection (2).
195 (e) The child is charged with possession of or discharging
196 a firearm on school property in violation of s. 790.115 or the
197 illegal possession of a firearm.
198 (f) The child is charged with a capital felony, a life
199 felony, a felony of the first degree, a felony of the second
200 degree that does not involve a violation of chapter 893, or a
201 felony of the third degree that is also a crime of violence,
202 including any such offense involving the use or possession of a
203 firearm.
204 (g) The child is charged with any second degree or third
205 degree felony involving a violation of chapter 893 or any third
206 degree felony that is not also a crime of violence, and the
207 child:
208 1. Has a record of failure to appear at court hearings
209 after being properly notified in accordance with the Rules of
210 Juvenile Procedure;
211 2. Has a record of law violations prior to court hearings;
212 3. Has already been detained or has been released and is
213 awaiting final disposition of the case;

219 However, a child detained under this paragraph may be held only

230 instrument.
231

234 paragraph. The child’s failure to keep the clerk of court and
235 defense counsel informed of a current and valid mailing address

254 c. An adjudication withheld.

257 arrest or referral for one or more criminal offenses or
258 delinquent acts arising out of the same episode, act, or

261 subsection (1) is to determine the existence of probable cause
262 that the child has committed the delinquent act or violation of
263 law that he or she is charged with and the need for continued
264 detention. Unless a child is detained under paragraph (1)(d) or
265 paragraph (1)(e), The court shall use the results of the risk
266 assessment performed by the department and, based on the
267 criteria in subsection (1), shall determine the need for
268 continued detention. If the child is a prolific juvenile
269 offender who is detained under s. 985.26(2)(c), the court shall
270 use the results of the risk assessment performed by the
271 department and the criteria in subsection (1) or subsection (2)
272 only to determine whether the prolific juvenile offender should
273 be held in secure detention.
274 Section 10. Paragraph (d) is added to subsection (2) of

276 985.26 Length of detention.—

283 of subsection (2) and paragraph (b) of subsection (4) of section

289 985.255(1)(j) shall be placed on supervised release nonsecure
290 detention care with electronic monitoring or in secure detention
291 care under a special detention order until disposition. If
292 secure detention care is ordered by the court, it must be
293 authorized under this part and may not exceed:
294 1. Twenty-one days unless an adjudicatory hearing for the
295 case has been commenced in good faith by the court or the period
296 is extended by the court pursuant to paragraph (b); or
297 2. Fifteen days after the entry of an order of
298 adjudication.

306 985.255(1)(j) who is taken into custody for a violation of the

308 must be held in secure detention until a detention hearing is
309 held.
310 (4)
311 (b) The period for supervised release nonsecure detention
312 care under this section is tolled on the date that the
313 department or a law enforcement officer alleges that the child
314 has violated a condition of the child’s supervised release
315 nonsecure detention care until the court enters a ruling on the
316 violation. Notwithstanding the tolling of supervised release
317 nonsecure detention care, the court retains jurisdiction over
318 the child for a violation of a condition of supervised release
319 nonsecure detention care during the tolling period. If the court
320 finds that a child has violated his or her supervised release
321 nonsecure detention care, the number of days that the child
322 served in any type of detention care before commission of the
323 violation shall be excluded from the time limits under
324 subsections (2) and (3).

333 changed circumstances warrant such transfer.
334 (3)
335 (b) When a juvenile is released from secure detention or
336 transferred to supervised release nonsecure detention, detention
337 staff shall immediately notify the appropriate law enforcement
338 agency, school personnel, and victim if the juvenile is charged
339 with committing any of the following offenses or attempting to
340 commit any of the following offenses:
341 1. Murder, under s. 782.04;

363 violating the conditions of probation shall be screened and
364 detained or released based on his or her risk assessment
365 instrument score or postcommitment probation shall be held in a
366 consequence unit if such a unit is available. The child shall be
367 afforded a hearing within 24 hours after being taken into
368 custody to determine the existence of probable cause that the
369 child violated the conditions of probation or postcommitment
370 probation. A consequence unit is a secure facility specifically
371 designated by the department for children who are taken into
372 custody under s. 985.101 for violating probation or
373 postcommitment probation, or who have been found by the court to
374 have violated the conditions of probation or postcommitment
375 probation. If the violation involves a new charge of
376 delinquency, the child may be detained under part V in a
377 facility other than a consequence unit. If the child is not
378 eligible for detention for the new charge of delinquency, the
379 child may be held in the consequence unit pending a hearing and
380 is subject to the time limitations specified in part V.
381 (4) Upon the child’s admission, or if the court finds after
382 a hearing that the child has violated the conditions of
383 probation or postcommitment probation, the court shall enter an
384 order revoking, modifying, or continuing probation or
385 postcommitment probation. In each such case, the court shall
386 enter a new disposition order and, in addition to the sanctions
387 set forth in this section, may impose any sanction the court
388 could have imposed at the original disposition hearing. If the
389 child is found to have violated the conditions of probation or
390 postcommitment probation, the court may:
391 (a) Place the child in a consequence unit in that judicial
392 circuit, if available, for up to 5 days for a first violation
393 and up to 15 days for a second or subsequent violation.
394 (a)(b) Place the child in supervised release nonsecure
395 detention with electronic monitoring. However, this sanction may
396 be used only if a residential consequence unit is not available.
397 (b)(c) If the violation of probation is technical in nature
398 and not a new violation of law, place the child in an
399 alternative consequence program designed to provide swift and
400 appropriate consequences to any further violations of probation.
401 1. Alternative consequence programs shall be established,
402 within existing resources, at the local level in coordination
403 with law enforcement agencies, the chief judge of the circuit,
404 the state attorney, and the public defender.
405 2. Alternative consequence programs may be operated by an
406 entity such as a law enforcement agency, the department, a
407 juvenile assessment center, a county or municipality, or another
408 entity selected by the department.
409 3. Upon placing a child in an alternative consequence
410 program, the court must approve specific consequences for
411 specific violations of the conditions of probation.

413 postcommitment probation program.
414 (d)(e) Revoke probation or postcommitment probation and

423 attorney may file an information when in the state attorney’s
424 judgment and discretion the public interest requires that adult
