                                                  Bill No. HB 1663
    Amendment No. 03 (for drafter's use only)
 1  jurisdiction, disqualifies a prospective or current employee
 2  from employment at a seaport, unless the person has, after
 3  release form incarceration and any supervision imposed as a
 4  sentence, remained free from arrest for 5 years prior to the
 5  date an applicant or employee's criminal history becomes known
 6  to the seaport employer.  Neither the Department of Law
 7  Enforcement or the Office of Drug Control shall have
 8  responsibility for making individual or group determinations
 9  of criminal history-based employment disqualifications or
10  relief of disqualifications as required or allowed herein.
11  The Department of Law Enforcement shall require each seaport
12  to report in detail each year's history and activity in
13  implementing the employment restrictions or granting of relief
14  as established herein.  To assist the Department of Law
15  Enforcement in developing the criteria and procedures required
16  herein,  by August 1, 2001, the Florida Seaport Transportation
17  and Economic Development Council shall submit to the
18  Department of Law Enforcement a draft of criteria and
19  procedures it suggests be utilized uniformly among the
20  seaports to comply with the mandate of this subparagraph.  The
21  Department may accept or reject all or part of the draft so
22  submitted.
