18  and insert in lieu thereof:  delinquency by the state

19  attorney.  The Legislature strongly recommends that in cases

20  in which the juvenile is securely detained that petitions for

21  delinquency should be filed by the state attorney within 14

22  days after the arrest or within 25 days after the arrest if

23  the state attorney determines that forensic evidence is

24  required.  The state attorney in each circuit shall report

25  every case in which the juvenile is securely detained and a

26  petition for delinquency was not filed within this recommended

27  time to the Florida Prosecuting Attorneys Association and the

28  House Juvenile Justice Committee and the Senate Criminal

29  Justice Committee.  The failure to file a petition within this

30  recommended time shall not entitle a juvenile to release from

31  custody or a dismissal of any charges.
