11  Department of Corrections, be released under supervision

12  subject to specified terms and conditions, including payment

13  of the cost of supervision pursuant to s. 948.09. Such

14  supervision shall be applicable to all sentences within the

15  overall term of sentences if an inmate's overall term of

16  sentences includes one or more sentences that are eligible for

17  conditional release supervision as provided herein. Effective

18  July 1, 1994, and applicable for offenses committed on or

19  after that date, the commission may require, as a condition of

20  conditional release, that the releasee make payment of the

21  debt due and owing to a county or municipal detention facility

27  of the institution for the medical expenses incurred, the

28  financial resources of the releasee, the present and potential

29  future financial needs and earning ability of the releasee,

30  and dependents, and other appropriate factors.  If an inmate

  1  supervision to be served after release from incarceration, the

  2  period of probation or community control must be substituted

  3  for the conditional release supervision. A panel of no fewer

  4  than two commissioners shall establish the terms and

  5  conditions of any such release. If the offense was a

  6  controlled substance violation, the conditions shall include a

  7  requirement that the offender submit to random substance abuse

  8  testing intermittently throughout the term of conditional

  9  release supervision, upon the direction of the correctional

10  probation officer as defined in s. 943.10(3). Regardless of

11  the offense, the offender must consent to a search of his or

12  her person, property, or residence as requested by the

13  correctional probation officer. The commission shall also

14  determine whether the terms and conditions of such release

15  have been violated and whether such violation warrants

16  revocation of the conditional release.

  1  efficient performance of duties assigned in prison. No person

  2  shall be placed on parole until and unless the commission

  3  finds that there is reasonable probability that, if the person

  4  is placed on parole, he or she will live and conduct himself

  5  or herself as a respectable and law-abiding person and that

  6  the person's release will be compatible with his or her own

  7  welfare and the welfare of society. No person shall be placed

  8  on parole unless and until the commission is satisfied that he

  9  or she will be suitably employed in self-sustaining employment

10  or that he or she will not become a public charge. The

11  commission shall determine the terms upon which such person

12  shall be granted parole.  If the person's conviction was for a

13  controlled substance violation, one of the conditions must be

14  that the person submit to random substance abuse testing

15  intermittently throughout the term of supervision, upon the

16  direction of the correctional probation officer as defined in

17  s. 943.10(3). Regardless of the offense, the offender must

18  consent to a search of his or her person, property, or

19  residence as requested by the correctional probation officer.

20  In addition to any other lawful condition of parole, the

21  commission may make the payment of the debt due and owing to

22  the state under s. 960.17 or the payment of the attorney's

23  fees and costs due and owing to a county under s. 938.29 a

24  condition of parole subject to modification based on change of

25  circumstances.

26         Section 4.  Subsections (1) and (2) of section 947.22,

27  Florida Statutes, are amended to read:

  3  representative may issue a warrant for the arrest of such

  4  parolee.  The warrant shall be returnable before a member of

  5  the commission or a duly authorized representative of the

  6  commission.  The commission, a commissioner, or a parole

  7  examiner with approval of the parole examiner supervisor, may

  8  release the parolee on bail or her or his own recognizance,

  9  conditioned upon her or his appearance at any hearings noticed

10  by the commission.  If not released on bail or her or his own

11  recognizance, the parolee shall be committed to jail pending

12  hearings pursuant to s. 947.23. The commission, at its

13  election, may have the hearing conducted by one or more

14  commissioners or by a duly authorized representative of the

15  commission.  Any correctional probation officer parole and

16  probation officer, any officer authorized to serve criminal

17  process, or any peace officer of this state is authorized to

20  probation officer, when she or he has reasonable ground to

21  believe that a parolee, control releasee, or conditional

22  releasee has violated the terms and conditions of her or his

23  parole, control release, or conditional release in a material

24  respect, has the right to arrest the releasee or parolee

25  without warrant and bring her or him forthwith before one or

26  more commissioners or a duly authorized representative of the

27  Parole Commission or Control Release Authority; and

28  proceedings shall thereupon be had as provided herein when a

  3  terms and conditions of her or his parole, control release, or

  4  conditional release in a material respect or is in possession

  5  of contraband or other items that the person is prohibited

  6  from possessing, the correctional probation officer may search

  7  the person, property, or residence of the parolee or releasee

  8  or request a law enforcement officer to do the same. However,

  9  if a correctional probation officer conducts a search without

10  reasonable grounds, the evidence seized may only be admitted

11  at a hearing for a violation of supervision.

12         Section 5.  Subsection (1) of section 948.03, Florida

13  Statutes, is amended to read:

  7  to the contrary. If the court does not order restitution, or

18  consider the amount of the debt, whether there was any fault

19  of the institution for the medical expenses incurred, the

20  financial resources of the felony probationer, the present and

21  potential future financial needs and earning ability of the

22  probationer, and dependents, and other appropriate factors.

23  provided in chapter 948 which apply to the courts regarding

24  the development and implementation of community control.

25

26  However, any decision to revoke parole shall be based on a

27  violation of a term or condition specifically enumerated in

28  the parole release order.  In a case in which parole is

29  revoked, the majority of the commission or the two

30  commissioners shall make a written statement of the evidence

31  relied on and the reasons for revoking parole.

  1         948.001  Definitions.--As used in this chapter, the

  2  term:

  3         (5)  "Probation" means a form of community supervision

  4  requiring specified contacts with parole and probation

  5  officers and other terms and conditions as provided in s.

  6  948.03.

  7         958.03  Definitions.--As used in this act:

  8         (4)  "Probation" means a form of community supervision

  9  requiring specified contacts with parole and probation

10  officers and other terms and conditions as provided in s.

11  948.03.

12         Section 7.  Subsection (1) of section 948.06, Florida

13  Statutes, is amended, and subsections (8) and (9) are added to

14  said section, to read:

15         948.06  Violation of probation or community control;

16  revocation; modification; continuance; failure to pay

17  restitution or cost of supervision.--

18         (1)  Whenever within the period of probation or

19  community control there are reasonable grounds to believe that

20  a violation of probation or community control occurred, or

21  there are reasonable grounds to believe that the person under

22  supervision is in possession of contraband or other items that

23  the person is prohibited from possessing, the person on

24  probation or community control may be arrested without a

25  warrant or have his or her person, property, or residence

26  searched without a warrant by any of the following people:

27         (a)  A probation officer who is aware that the person

28  is on probation;

29         (b)  A community control officer who is aware that the

30  person is on community control; or

  1         (c)  A law enforcement officer who is requested by a

  2  probation or community control officer who has knowledge that

  3  the person is on probation or community control.

  4

  5  However, if a supervising officer conducts a search without

  6  reasonable grounds, the evidence seized may only be admitted

  7  at a hearing for violation of supervision. Whenever within the

  8  period of probation or community control there are reasonable

  9  grounds to believe that a probationer or offender in community

10  control has violated his or her probation or community control

11  in a material respect, any law enforcement officer who is

12  aware of the probationary or community control status of the

13  probationer or offender in community control or any parole or

14  probation supervisor may arrest or request any county or

15  municipal law enforcement officer to arrest such probationer

16  or offender without warrant wherever found and forthwith

17  return him or her to the court granting such probation or

18  community control. Any committing magistrate may issue a

19  warrant, upon the facts being made known to him or her by

20  affidavit of one having knowledge of such facts, for the

21  arrest of the probationer or offender, returnable forthwith

22  before the court granting such probation or community control.

23  Any parole or probation supervisor, any officer authorized to

24  serve criminal process, or any peace officer of this state is

25  authorized to serve and execute such warrant. The court, upon

26  the probationer or offender being brought before it, shall

27  advise him or her of such charge of violation and, if such

28  charge is admitted to be true, may forthwith revoke, modify,

29  or continue the probation or community control or place the

30  probationer into a community control program. If probation or

31  community control is revoked, the court shall adjudge the


                                  14

                                       CS/HB 3733, First Engrossed



  1  probationer or offender guilty of the offense charged and

  2  proven or admitted, unless he or she has previously been

  3  adjudged guilty, and impose any sentence which it might have

  4  originally imposed before placing the probationer on probation

  5  or the offender into community control. If such violation of

  6  probation or community control is not admitted by the

  7  probationer or offender, the court may commit him or her or

  8  release him or her with or without bail to await further

  9  hearing, or it may dismiss the charge of probation or

10  community control violation. If such charge is not at that

11  time admitted by the probationer or offender and if it is not

12  dismissed, the court, as soon as may be practicable, shall

13  give the probationer or offender an opportunity to be fully

14  heard on his or her behalf in person or by counsel. After such

15  hearing, the court may revoke, modify, or continue the

16  probation or community control or place the probationer into

17  community control. If such probation or community control is

18  revoked, the court shall adjudge the probationer or offender

19  guilty of the offense charged and proven or admitted, unless

20  he or she has previously been adjudged guilty, and impose any

21  sentence which it might have originally imposed before placing

22  the probationer or offender on probation or into community

23  control.

24         (6)  Any parolee in a community control program who has

25  allegedly violated the terms and conditions of such placement

26  is subject to the provisions of ss. 947.22 and 947.23.

27         (8)  Evidence may not be excluded or suppressed from

28  the trial of a new substantive offense if:

29         (a)  The defendant was on probation, parole,

30  conditional release, or community control at the time of the

31  offense; and

  1         (b)  The search was conducted when there were

  2  reasonable grounds to believe that the defendant was in

  3  violation of the law or in violation of the terms of

  4  probation, parole, conditional release, or community control.

  5

  6  For the purposes of the search of a person on probation,

  7  parole, conditional release, or community control, the term

  8  "reasonable grounds" means that the reasonable suspicion

  9  standard applies.

10         (9)  Evidence may not be excluded or suppressed from a

11  hearing for a violation of probation, parole, conditional

12  release, or community control.

13         Section 8.  For the purpose of incorporating the

14  amendments to section 948.06, Florida Statutes, in references

15  thereto, the following sections or subdivisions of Florida

16  Statutes are reenacted to read:

17         948.01  When court may place defendant on probation or

18  into community control.--

19         (9)  Procedures governing violations of community

20  control shall be the same as those described in s. 948.06 with

21  respect to probation.

22         (11)  The court may also impose a split sentence

23  whereby the defendant is sentenced to a term of probation

24  which may be followed by a period of incarceration or, with

25  respect to a felony, into community control, as follows:

26         (b)  If the offender does not meet the terms and

27  conditions of probation or community control, the court may

28  revoke, modify, or continue the probation or community control

29  as provided in s. 948.06. If the probation or community

30  control is revoked, the court may impose any sentence that it

31  could have imposed at the time the offender was placed on


                                  16

  1  probation or community control. The court may not provide

  2  credit for time served for any portion of a probation or

  3  community control term toward a subsequent term of probation

  4  or community control. However, the court may not impose a

  5  subsequent term of probation or community control which, when

  6  combined with any amount of time served on preceding terms of

  7  probation or community control for offenses pending before the

  8  court for sentencing, would exceed the maximum penalty

  9  allowable as provided in s. 775.082. Such term of

10  incarceration shall be served under applicable law or county

11  ordinance governing service of sentences in state or county

12  jurisdiction. This paragraph does not prohibit any other

13  sanction provided by law.

14         (13)  If it appears to the court upon a hearing that

15  the defendant is a chronic substance abuser whose criminal

16  conduct is a violation of chapter 893, the court may either

17  adjudge the defendant guilty or stay and withhold the

18  adjudication of guilt; and, in either case, it may stay and

19  withhold the imposition of sentence and place the defendant on

20  drug offender probation.

21         (b)  Offenders placed on drug offender probation are

22  subject to revocation of probation as provided in s. 948.06.

23         958.14  Violation of probation or community control

24  program.--A violation or alleged violation of probation or the

25  terms of a community control program shall subject the

26  youthful offender to the provisions of s. 948.06(1).  However,

27  no youthful offender shall be committed to the custody of the

28  department for a substantive violation for a period longer

29  than the maximum sentence for the offense for which he or she

30  was found guilty, with credit for time served while

31  incarcerated, or for a technical or nonsubstantive violation

  1  for a period longer than 6 years or for a period longer than

  2  the maximum sentence for the offense for which he or she was

  3  found guilty, whichever is less, with credit for time served

  4  while incarcerated.
