1	The Conference Committee on HB 1851 offered the following:
2
3	Conference Committee Amendment (with title amendment)
4	Remove everything after the enacting clause and insert:
5	Section 1.  Section 985.2311, Florida Statutes, is created
6	to read:
7	985.2311  Cost of supervision; cost of care.--
8	(1)  Except as provided in subsection (3) or subsection
9	(4):
10	(a)  When any child is placed into home detention,
11	probation, or other supervision status with the Department of
12	Juvenile Justice, the court shall order the parent of such child
13	to pay to the department a fee for the cost of the supervision
14	of such child in the amount of $1 per day for each day that the
15	child is in supervision status.
16	(b)  When any child is placed into secure detention or
17	placed on committed status and the temporary legal custody of
18	such child is placed with the Department of Juvenile Justice,
19	the court shall order the parent of such child to pay to the
20	department a fee for the cost of the care of such child in the
21	amount of $5 per day for each day that the child is in the
22	temporary legal custody of the department.
23	(2)  The parent of any child who has been placed under the
24	supervision or care of the department shall provide to the
25	department his or her name, address, social security number,
26	date of birth, driver's license number or identification card
27	number, and sufficient financial information so as to assist the
28	court in determining the parent's ability to pay any fee
29	associated with the cost of the child's supervision or care. If
30	the parent refuses to provide the department with the
31	information required by this subsection, the court shall order
32	the parent to provide such information. The failure of the
33	parent to comply with such order of the court constitutes
34	contempt of court, and the court may punish the parent
35	accordingly.
36	(3)  At the time of any detention or disposition hearing,
37	the court shall receive the information described in subsection
38	(2), as well as any other verbal or written information offered
39	as to the ability of the parent of a child who is being placed
40	under the supervision or care of the department to pay any fee
41	imposed pursuant to this section and whether the payment of such
42	fee will create a significant financial hardship. The court may
43	apportion the obligation for the fee to each parent in a manner
44	it deems appropriate; however, the total amount of the daily fee
45	may not exceed the amounts specified in this section. Any
46	finding made by the court as to the ability of the parent to pay
47	such fee, including any finding of indigency or significant
48	financial hardship, shall be in writing and shall contain a
49	detailed description of the facts supporting such finding. If
50	the court makes a finding of indigency and significant financial
51	hardship, the court shall waive the fee or reduce it to an
52	amount deemed appropriate.
53	(4)  Notwithstanding subsection (3), the court may reduce
54	or waive the fee as to each parent if the court makes a finding
55	on the record that the parent was the victim of the delinquent
56	act or violation of law for which the child has been placed
57	under the supervision or care of the department and that the
58	parent is cooperating or has cooperated with the investigation
59	of the offense.
60	(5)  The court shall order the payment of any fees required
61	in this section as part of the detention or disposition order.
62	Such order must include specific written findings as to what
63	fees are ordered, reduced, or waived. If the court fails to
64	enter an order as required by this section, the parent is deemed
65	to have an obligation to pay to the department a fee in the
66	amount of $1 per day for each day that the child is under the
67	supervision of the department and $5 per day for each day that
68	the child remains in the care of the department.
69	(6)  Notwithstanding subsection (1), with respect to a
70	child who reaches the age of 18 prior to the detention or
71	disposition hearing, the court may elect to direct an order
72	required by this section to such child, rather than to the
73	child's parent. With regard to a child who reaches 18 while
74	under the supervision or care of the department, the court may,
75	upon proper motion of any party, hold a hearing as to whether
76	any party should be further obligated to pay any fee associated
77	with cost of the supervision or care of such child. If the court
78	does not enter an order under this subsection, it shall be
79	presumed that the court intended for the parent to pay or to
80	continue to pay the fees specified in this section. Any order
81	entered pursuant to this subsection must include specific
82	findings as to what fees are ordered, reduced, or waived as to
83	the child.
84	(7)  With respect to a child who has been placed under the
85	supervision or care of the department and whose parent receives
86	public assistance for any portion of such child's care, the
87	department must seek a federal waiver to garnish or otherwise
88	order the payment of a portion of the public assistance relating
89	to such child, in an amount not to exceed the amount of the
90	parent's obligation, in order to offset the costs to the
91	department associated with providing supervision or care of such
92	child.
93	(8)  If any order entered pursuant to this section affects
94	the guardianship of an estate, a certified copy of such order
95	shall be delivered to the judge having jurisdiction over the
96	guardianship of the estate.
97	(9)  The department may employ a collection agency for the
98	purpose of receiving, collecting, and managing the payment of
99	any fees ordered pursuant to this section that have gone
100	delinquent or unpaid for 90 days or more. The collection agency
101	must be registered and in good standing under chapter 559. The
102	department may pay for the services of the collection agency
103	from available authorized funds or from funds generated by any
104	collections under this subsection. Alternatively, the department
105	may authorize the collection agency to withhold a specified
106	amount of any fee collected as payment for its services.
107	(10)  The department or the collection agency shall provide
108	to the payor documentation of the payment of any fee paid
109	pursuant to this section. Except as provided in subsection (9),
110	all payments received by the department or the collection agency
111	pursuant to this section shall be deposited in the state Grants
112	and Donations Trust Fund within the Department of Juvenile
113	Justice.
114	(11)  Under no circumstance shall the court or the
115	department extend the child's length of stay in the department's
116	supervision or care solely for the purpose of collecting the
117	fees specified in this section.
118	(12)  No parent or child shall be liable for any fee
119	provided in this section unless:
120	(a)  The child is adjudicated delinquent, or has
121	adjudication of delinquency withheld, for the offense that gave
122	rise to the supervision or care; or
123	(b)  The child is found to have violated an order of the
124	court, including any order of supervision or care, and the costs
125	are associated with the violation of such order.
126
127	If any funds are paid for the supervision or care of a child who
128	is determined not to meet the criteria specified in paragraph
129	(a) or paragraph (b), such funds shall be refunded to the payor
130	forthwith.
131	(13)  For purposes of this section, "parent" means any
132	person who meets the definition of "parent" or "legal custody or
133	guardian" in s. 985.03.
134	Section 2.  Subsection (5) of section 985.21, Florida
135	Statutes, is amended to read:
136	985.21  Intake and case management.--
137	(5)  Prior to requesting that a delinquency petition be
138	filed or prior to filing a dependency petition, the juvenile
139	probation officer may request the parent or legal guardian of
140	the child to attend a course of instruction in parenting skills,
141	training in conflict resolution, and the practice of
142	nonviolence; to accept counseling; or to receive other
143	assistance from any agency in the community which notifies the
144	clerk of the court of the availability of its services. Where
145	appropriate, the juvenile probation officer shall request both
146	parents or guardians to receive such parental assistance. The
147	juvenile probation officer may, in determining whether to
148	request that a delinquency petition be filed, take into
149	consideration the willingness of the parent or legal guardian to
150	comply with such request. The parent or guardian must provide
151	the juvenile probation officer with identifying information,
152	including the parent's or guardian's name, address, date of
153	birth, social security number, and driver's license number or
154	identification card number in order to comply with s. 985.2311
155	ss. 985.215(6), 985.231(1)(b), and 985.233(4)(d).
156	Section 3.  Subsection (6) of section 985.215, Florida
157	Statutes, as amended by section 140 of chapter 2003-402, Laws of
158	Florida, is amended to read:
159	985.215  Detention.--
160	(6)(a)  When any child is placed into secure, nonsecure, or
161	home detention care or into other placement for the purpose of
162	being supervised by the Department of Juvenile Justice pursuant
163	to a court order following a detention hearing, the court shall
164	order the parents or guardians of such child to pay to the
165	Department of Juvenile Justice fees as provided under s.
166	985.2311 in the amount of $5 per day that the child is under the
167	care or supervision of the department in order to partially
168	offset the cost of the care, support, maintenance, and other
169	usual and ordinary obligations of parents to provide for the
170	needs of their children, unless the court makes a finding on the
171	record that the parent or guardian of the child is indigent.
172	(b)  At the time of the detention hearing, the department
173	shall report to the court, verbally or in writing, any available
174	information concerning the ability of the parent or guardian of
175	the child to pay such fee. If the court makes a finding of
176	indigence, the parent or guardian shall pay to the department a
177	nominal subsistence fee of $2 per day that the child is securely
178	detained outside the home or $1 per day if the child is
179	otherwise detained in lieu of other fees related to the parent's
180	obligation for the child's cost of care. The nominal subsistence
181	fee may only be waived or reduced if the court makes a finding
182	that such payment would constitute a significant financial
183	hardship. Such finding shall be in writing and shall contain a
184	detailed description of the facts that led the court to make
185	both the finding of indigence and the finding of significant
186	financial hardship.
187	(c)  In addition, the court may reduce the fees or waive
188	the fees as to each parent or guardian if the court makes a
189	finding on the record that the parent or guardian was the victim
190	of the delinquent act or violation of law for which the child is
191	detained and that the parent or guardian is cooperating in the
192	investigation of the offense.
193	(d)  The court must include specific findings in the
194	detention order as to what fees are ordered, reduced, or waived.
195	If the court fails to enter an order as required by this
196	subsection, it shall be presumed that the court intended the
197	parent or guardian to pay to the department the fee of $5 per
198	day that the child remains in detention care.
199	(e)  With respect to a child who has been found to have
200	committed a delinquent act or violation of law, whether or not
201	adjudication is withheld, and whose parent or guardian receives
202	public assistance for any portion of that child's care, the
203	department must seek a federal waiver to garnish or otherwise
204	order the payments of the portion of the public assistance
205	relating to that child to offset the costs of providing care,
206	custody, maintenance, rehabilitation, intervention, or
207	corrective services to the child. When the order affects the
208	guardianship estate, a certified copy of the order shall be
209	delivered to the judge having jurisdiction of the guardianship
210	estate.
211	(f)  The clerk of the circuit court shall act as a
212	depository for these fees. Upon each payment received, the clerk
213	of the circuit court shall receive a fee from the total payment
214	of 3 percent of any payment made except that no fee shall be
215	less than $1 nor more than $5 per payment made. This fee shall
216	serve as a service charge for the administration, management,
217	and maintenance of each payment. At the end of each month, the
218	clerk of the circuit court shall send all money collected under
219	this section to the state Grants and Donations Trust Fund.
220	(g)  The parent or guardian shall provide to the department
221	the parent's or guardian's name, address, social security
222	number, date of birth, and driver's license number or
223	identification card number and sufficient financial information
224	for the department to be able to determine the parent's or
225	guardian's ability to pay. If the parent or guardian refuses to
226	provide the department with any identifying information or
227	financial information, the court shall order the parent to
228	comply and may pursue contempt of court sanctions for failure to
229	comply.
230	(h)  The department may employ a collection agency for the
231	purpose of receiving, collecting, and managing the payment of
232	unpaid and delinquent fees. The collection agency must be
233	registered and in good standing under chapter 559. The
234	department may pay to the collection agency a fee from the
235	amount collected under the claim or may authorize the agency to
236	deduct the fee from the amount collected. The department may
237	also pay for collection services from available authorized
238	funds.
239	(i)  The department may enter into agreements with parents
240	or guardians to establish a schedule of periodic payments if
241	payment of the obligation in full presents an undue hardship.
242	Any such agreement may provide for payment of interest
243	consistent with prevailing loan rates.
244	(j)  The Department of Juvenile Justice shall provide to
245	the payor documentation of any amounts paid by the payor to the
246	Department of Juvenile Justice on behalf of the child. All
247	payments received by the department pursuant to this subsection
248	shall be deposited in the state Grants and Donations Trust Fund.
249	Neither the court nor the department may extend the child's
250	length of stay in detention care solely for the purpose of
251	collecting fees.
252	Section 4.  Paragraph (b) of subsection (1) of section
253	985.231, Florida Statutes, as amended by section 141 of chapter
254	2003-402, Laws of Florida, is amended to read:
255	985.231  Powers of disposition in delinquency cases.--
256	(1)
257	(b)1.  When any child is found adjudicated by the court to
258	have committed a delinquent act and is placed on probation,
259	regardless of adjudication, under the supervision of or in the
260	temporary legal custody of the child has been placed with a
261	licensed child-caring agency or the Department of Juvenile
262	Justice, the court shall order the parents of such child to pay
263	fees to the department as provided under s. 985.2311 in the
264	amount of $5 per day that the child is under the care or
265	supervision of the department in order to partially offset the
266	cost of the care, support, maintenance, and other usual and
267	ordinary obligations of parents to provide for the needs of
268	their children while in the recommended residential commitment
269	level, unless the court makes a finding on the record that the
270	parent or guardian of the child is indigent.
271	2.  No later than the disposition hearing, the department
272	shall provide the court with information concerning the actual
273	cost of care, support, and maintenance of the child in the
274	recommended residential commitment level and concerning the
275	ability of the parent or guardian of the child to pay any fees.
276	If the court makes a finding of indigence, the parent or
277	guardianship shall pay to the department a nominal subsistence
278	fee of $2 per day that the child is committed outside the home
279	or $1 per day if the child is otherwise supervised in lieu of
280	other fees related to the parents' obligation for the child's
281	cost of care. The nominal subsistence fee may only be waived or
282	reduced if the court makes a finding that such payment would
283	constitute a significant financial hardship. Such finding shall
284	be in writing and shall contain a detailed description of the
285	facts that led the court to make both the finding of indigence
286	and the finding of significant financial hardship.
287	3.  In addition, the court may reduce the fees or waive the
288	fees as to each parent or guardian if the court makes a finding
289	on the record that the parent or guardian was the victim of the
290	delinquent act or violation of law for which the child is
291	subject to placement under this section and that the parent or
292	guardian has cooperated in the investigation and prosecution of
293	the offense.
294	4.  All orders committing a child to a residential
295	commitment program shall include specific findings as to what
296	fees are ordered, reduced, or waived. If the court fails to
297	enter an order as required by this paragraph, it shall be
298	presumed that the court intended the parent or guardian to pay
299	fees to the department in an amount of $5 per day related to the
300	care, support, and maintenance of the child. With regard to a
301	child who reaches the age of 18 prior to the disposition
302	hearing, the court may elect to direct an order required by this
303	paragraph to such child, rather than the parent or guardian.
304	With regard to a child who reaches the age of 18 while in the
305	custody of the department, the court may, upon proper motion of
306	any party, hold a hearing as to whether any party should be
307	further obligated respecting the payment of fees. When the order
308	affects the guardianship estate, a certified copy of the order
309	shall be delivered to the judge having jurisdiction of the
310	guardianship estate.
311	5.  The clerk of the circuit court shall act as a
312	depository for these fees. Upon each payment received, the clerk
313	of the circuit court shall receive a fee from the total payment
314	of 3 percent of any payment made except that no fee shall be
315	less than $1 nor more than $5 per payment made. This fee shall
316	serve as a service charge for the administration, management,
317	and maintenance of each payment. At the end of each month, the
318	clerk of the circuit court shall send all money collected under
319	this section to the state Grants and Donations Trust Fund.
320	6.  The parent or guardian shall provide to the department
321	the parent or guardian's name, address, social security number,
322	state of birth, and driver's license number or identification
323	card number and sufficient financial information for the
324	department to be able to determine the parent or guardian's
325	ability to pay. If the parent or guardian refuses to provide the
326	department with any identifying information or financial
327	information, the court shall order the parent to comply and may
328	pursue contempt of court sanctions for failure to comply.
329	7.  The department may employ a collection agency for the
330	purpose of receiving, collecting, and managing the payment of
331	unpaid and delinquent fees. The collection agency must be
332	registered and in good standing under chapter 559. The
333	department may pay to the collection agency a fee from the
334	amount collected under the claim or may authorize the agency to
335	deduct the fee from the amount collected. The department may
336	also pay for collection services from available authorized
337	funds.
338	8.  The department may enter into agreements with parents
339	or guardians to establish a schedule of periodic payments if
340	payment of the obligation in full presents an undue hardship.
341	Any such agreement may provide for payment of interests
342	consistent with prevailing loan rates.
343	9.  The Department of Juvenile Justice shall provide to the
344	payor documentation of any amounts paid by the payor to the
345	Department of Juvenile Justice on behalf of the child. All
346	payments received by the department pursuant to this subsection
347	shall be deposited in the state Grants and Donations Trust Fund.
348	10.  Neither the court nor the department may extend the
349	child's length of stay in placement care solely for the purpose
350	of collecting fees.
351	Section 5.  Paragraph (d) of subsection (4) of section
352	985.233, Florida Statutes, as amended by section 142 of chapter
353	2003-402, Laws of Florida, is amended to read:
354	985.233  Sentencing powers; procedures; alternatives for
355	juveniles prosecuted as adults.--
356	(4)  SENTENCING ALTERNATIVES.--
357	(d)  Recoupment of cost of care or supervision in juvenile
358	justice programs or facilities.--
359	1.  When the court orders any child to be supervised by or
360	committed commitment of a child to the Department of Juvenile
361	Justice for treatment in any of the department's programs for
362	children, the court shall order the parents of such child to pay
363	fees as provided under s. 985.2311 in the amount of $5 per day
364	that the child is under the care or supervision of the
365	department in order to partially offset the cost of the care,
366	support, maintenance, and other usual and ordinary obligations
367	of parents to provide for the needs of their children, unless
368	the court makes a finding on the record that the parent or legal
369	guardian of the child is indigent.
370	2.  Prior to commitment, the department shall provide the
371	court with information concerning the actual cost of care in the
372	recommended residential commitment level and concerning the
373	ability of the parent or guardian of the child to pay specified
374	fees. If the court makes a finding of indigency, the parent or
375	guardian shall pay to the department a nominal subsistence fee
376	of $2 per day that the child is committed outside the home or $1
377	per day if the child is otherwise supervised in lieu of other
378	fees related to the parent's obligation for the child's cost of
379	care. The nominal subsistence fee may only be waived or reduced
380	if the court makes a finding that such payment would constitute
381	a significant financial hardship. Such finding shall be in
382	writing and shall contain a detailed description of the facts
383	that led the court to make both the finding of indigency and the
384	finding of significant financial hardship.
385	3.  In addition, the court may reduce the fees or waive the
386	fees as to each parent or guardian if the court makes a finding
387	on the record that the parent or guardian was the victim of the
388	delinquent act or violation of law for which the child is
389	subject to commitment under this section and that the parent or
390	guardian has cooperated in the investigation and prosecution of
391	the offense. When the order affects the guardianship estate, a
392	certified copy of the order shall be delivered to the judge
393	having jurisdiction of the guardianship estate.
394	4.  All orders committing a child to a residential
395	commitment program shall include specific findings as to what
396	fees are ordered, reduced, or waived. If the court fails to
397	enter an order as required by this paragraph, it shall be
398	presumed that the court intended the parent or guardian to pay
399	fees to the department in an amount of $5 per day related to the
400	care, support, and maintenance of the child. With regard to a
401	child who reaches the age of 18 prior to the disposition
402	hearing, the court may elect to direct an order required by this
403	paragraph to such child, rather than the parent or guardian.
404	With regard to a child who reaches the age of 18 while in the
405	custody of the department, the court may, upon proper motion of
406	any party, hold a hearing as to whether any party should be
407	further obligated respecting the payment of fees.
408	5.  The clerk of the circuit court shall act as a
409	depository for these fees. Upon each payment received, the clerk
410	of the circuit court shall receive a fee from the total payment
411	of 3 percent of any payment made except that no fee shall be
412	less than $1 nor more than $5 per payment made. This fee shall
413	serve as a service charge for the administration, management,
414	and maintenance of each payment. At the end of each month, the
415	clerk of the circuit court shall send all money collected under
416	this section to the state Grants and Donations Trust Fund.
417	6.  The parent or guardian shall provide to the department
418	the parent or guardian's name, address, social security number,
419	date of birth, and driver's license number or identification
420	card number and sufficient financial information for the
421	department to be able to determine the parent or guardian's
422	ability to pay. If the parent or guardian refuses to provide the
423	department with any identifying information or financial
424	information, the court shall order the parent to comply and may
425	pursue contempt of court sanctions for failure to comply.
426	7.  The department may employ a collection agency for the
427	purpose of receiving, collecting, and managing the payment of
428	unpaid and delinquent fees. The collection agency must be
429	registered and in good standing under chapter 559. The
430	department may pay to the collection agency a fee from the
431	amount collected under the claim or may authorize the agency to
432	deduct the fee from the amount collected. The department may
433	also pay for collection services from available authorized
434	funds. The Department of Juvenile Justice shall provide to the
435	payor documentation of any amounts paid by the payor to the
436	Department of Juvenile Justice on behalf of the child. All
437	payments received by the department pursuant to this subsection

443	It is the intent of the Legislature that the criteria and
444	guidelines in this subsection are mandatory and that a
445	determination of disposition under this subsection is subject to
446	the right of the child to appellate review under s. 985.234.
447	Section 6.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision of s.
448	985.2311, Florida Statutes, for the period beginning July 1,
449	2004 through June 30, 2005, the court shall reduce the fees
450	required under that section for parents or guardians of children
451	whose cases come before the juvenile court in the Ninth Judicial
452	Circuit who successfully complete a voluntary parenting course
453	approved by the Department of Juvenile Justice. The amount of
454	the reduction shall be equivalent to 20 percent of the
455	obligation owed by the parent or guardian for such fees;
456	however, the total value of the reduction shall not exceed $450.
457	The parent or guardian shall be responsible for any balance of
458	fees associated with the cost of the child's supervision or care
459	that remains after the application of the reduction authorized
460	under this section. Any reduction in the amount of the
461	obligation owed by the parent or guardian pursuant to an order
462	of the court shall be contingent upon the agreement of the
463	parent or guardian to stay current in his or her obligation for
464	the remaining fees owed and to successfully complete the
465	parenting course and present the department with notarized
466	documentation of such completion. The court shall proceed under
467	its contempt authority against any parent or guardian who, after
468	having agreed to such conditions, fails to stay current in his
469	or her obligation for the remaining balance of fees or who fails
470	to successfully complete the parenting course. Upon a finding of
471	contempt, the court shall require the parent or guardian to pay
472	the full amount of the fees as provided under s. 985.2311,
473	Florida Statutes. A parent or guardian may only have fees
474	reduced under this section once. This section shall expire June
475	30, 2005.
476	Section 7.  This act shall take effect July 1, 2004.
