1	Representative Bilirakis offered the following:
2
3	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 or guardian is cooperating or has cooperated with the
59	investigation 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 to offset the costs to the department associated
90	with providing supervision or care of such child.
91	(8)  If any order entered pursuant to this section affects
92	the guardianship of an estate, a certified copy of such order
93	shall be delivered to the judge having jurisdiction over the
94	guardianship of the estate.
95	(9)  The department may employ a collection agency for the
96	purpose of receiving, collecting, and managing the payment of
97	any fees ordered pursuant to this section that have gone
98	delinquent or unpaid. The collection agency must be registered
99	and in good standing under chapter 559. The department may pay
100	for the services of the collection agency from available
101	authorized funds or from funds generated by any collections
102	under this subsection. Alternatively, the department may
103	authorize the collection agency to withhold a specified amount
104	of any fee collected as payment for its services.
105	(10)  The department or the collection agency shall provide
106	to the payor documentation of the payment of any fee paid
107	pursuant to this section. Except as provided in subsection (9),
108	all payments received by the department or the collection agency
109	pursuant to this section shall be deposited in the state Grants
110	and Donations Trust Fund.
111	(11)  Under no circumstance shall the court or the
112	department extend the child's length of stay in the department's
113	supervision or care solely for the purpose of collecting the
114	fees specified in this section.
115	(12)  No parent or child shall be liable for any fee
116	provided in this section unless:
117	(a)  The child is adjudicated delinquent, or has
118	adjudication of delinquency withheld, for the offense that gave
119	rise to the supervision or care; or
120	(b)  The child is found to have violated an order of the
121	court, including any order of supervision or care, and the costs
122	are associated with the violation of such order.
123
124	If any funds are paid for the supervision or care of a child who
125	is determined not to meet the criteria specified in paragraph
126	(a) or paragraph (b), such funds shall be refunded to the payor
127	forthwith.
128	(13)  For purposes of this section, "parent" means any
129	person who meets the definition of "parent" or "legal custody or
130	guardian" in s. 985.03.
131	Section 2.  Subsection (5) of section 985.21, Florida
132	Statutes, is amended to read:
133	985.21  Intake and case management.--
134	(5)  Prior to requesting that a delinquency petition be
135	filed or prior to filing a dependency petition, the juvenile
136	probation officer may request the parent or legal guardian of
137	the child to attend a course of instruction in parenting skills,
138	training in conflict resolution, and the practice of
139	nonviolence; to accept counseling; or to receive other
140	assistance from any agency in the community which notifies the
141	clerk of the court of the availability of its services. Where
142	appropriate, the juvenile probation officer shall request both
143	parents or guardians to receive such parental assistance. The
144	juvenile probation officer may, in determining whether to
145	request that a delinquency petition be filed, take into
146	consideration the willingness of the parent or legal guardian to
147	comply with such request. The parent or guardian must provide
148	the juvenile probation officer with identifying information,
149	including the parent's or guardian's name, address, date of
150	birth, social security number, and driver's license number or
151	identification card number in order to comply with s. 985.2311
152	ss. 985.215(6), 985.231(1)(b), and 985.233(4)(d).
153	Section 3.  Subsection (6) of section 985.215, Florida
154	Statutes, as amended by section 140 of chapter 2003-402, Laws of
155	Florida, is amended to read:
156	985.215  Detention.--
157	(6)(a)  When any child is placed into secure, nonsecure, or
158	home detention care or into other placement for the purpose of
159	being supervised by the Department of Juvenile Justice pursuant
160	to a court order following a detention hearing, the court shall
161	order the parents or guardians of such child to pay to the
162	Department of Juvenile Justice fees as provided under s.
163	985.2311 in the amount of $5 per day that the child is under the
164	care or supervision of the department in order to partially
165	offset the cost of the care, support, maintenance, and other
166	usual and ordinary obligations of parents to provide for the
167	needs of their children, unless the court makes a finding on the
168	record that the parent or guardian of the child is indigent.
169	(b)  At the time of the detention hearing, the department
170	shall report to the court, verbally or in writing, any available
171	information concerning the ability of the parent or guardian of
172	the child to pay such fee. If the court makes a finding of
173	indigence, the parent or guardian shall pay to the department a
174	nominal subsistence fee of $2 per day that the child is securely
175	detained outside the home or $1 per day if the child is
176	otherwise detained in lieu of other fees related to the parent's
177	obligation for the child's cost of care. The nominal subsistence
178	fee may only be waived or reduced if the court makes a finding
179	that such payment would constitute a significant financial
180	hardship. Such finding shall be in writing and shall contain a
181	detailed description of the facts that led the court to make
182	both the finding of indigence and the finding of significant
183	financial hardship.
184	(c)  In addition, the court may reduce the fees or waive
185	the fees as to each parent or guardian if the court makes a
186	finding on the record that the parent or guardian was the victim
187	of the delinquent act or violation of law for which the child is
188	detained and that the parent or guardian is cooperating in the
189	investigation of the offense.
190	(d)  The court must include specific findings in the
191	detention order as to what fees are ordered, reduced, or waived.
192	If the court fails to enter an order as required by this
193	subsection, it shall be presumed that the court intended the
194	parent or guardian to pay to the department the fee of $5 per
195	day that the child remains in detention care.
196	(e)  With respect to a child who has been found to have
197	committed a delinquent act or violation of law, whether or not
198	adjudication is withheld, and whose parent or guardian receives
199	public assistance for any portion of that child's care, the
200	department must seek a federal waiver to garnish or otherwise
201	order the payments of the portion of the public assistance
202	relating to that child to offset the costs of providing care,
203	custody, maintenance, rehabilitation, intervention, or
204	corrective services to the child. When the order affects the
205	guardianship estate, a certified copy of the order shall be
206	delivered to the judge having jurisdiction of the guardianship
207	estate.
208	(f)  The clerk of the circuit court shall act as a
209	depository for these fees. Upon each payment received, the clerk
210	of the circuit court shall receive a fee from the total payment
211	of 3 percent of any payment made except that no fee shall be
212	less than $1 nor more than $5 per payment made. This fee shall
213	serve as a service charge for the administration, management,
214	and maintenance of each payment. At the end of each month, the
215	clerk of the circuit court shall send all money collected under
216	this section to the state Grants and Donations Trust Fund.
217	(g)  The parent or guardian shall provide to the department
218	the parent's or guardian's name, address, social security
219	number, date of birth, and driver's license number or
220	identification card number and sufficient financial information
221	for the department to be able to determine the parent's or
222	guardian's ability to pay. If the parent or guardian refuses to
223	provide the department with any identifying information or
224	financial information, the court shall order the parent to
225	comply and may pursue contempt of court sanctions for failure to
226	comply.
227	(h)  The department may employ a collection agency for the
228	purpose of receiving, collecting, and managing the payment of
229	unpaid and delinquent fees. The collection agency must be
230	registered and in good standing under chapter 559. The
231	department may pay to the collection agency a fee from the
232	amount collected under the claim or may authorize the agency to
233	deduct the fee from the amount collected. The department may
234	also pay for collection services from available authorized
235	funds.
236	(i)  The department may enter into agreements with parents
237	or guardians to establish a schedule of periodic payments if
238	payment of the obligation in full presents an undue hardship.
239	Any such agreement may provide for payment of interest
240	consistent with prevailing loan rates.
241	(j)  The Department of Juvenile Justice shall provide to
242	the payor documentation of any amounts paid by the payor to the
243	Department of Juvenile Justice on behalf of the child. All
244	payments received by the department pursuant to this subsection
245	shall be deposited in the state Grants and Donations Trust Fund.
246	Neither the court nor the department may extend the child's
247	length of stay in detention care solely for the purpose of
248	collecting fees.
249	Section 4.  Paragraph (b) of subsection (1) of section
250	985.231, Florida Statutes, as amended by section 141 of chapter
251	2003-402, Laws of Florida, is amended to read:
252	985.231  Powers of disposition in delinquency cases.--
253	(1)
254	(b)1.  When any child is found adjudicated by the court to
255	have committed a delinquent act and is placed on probation,
256	regardless of adjudication, under the supervision of or in the
257	temporary legal custody of the child has been placed with a
258	licensed child-caring agency or the Department of Juvenile
259	Justice, the court shall order the parents of such child to pay
260	fees to the department as provided under s. 985.2311 in the
261	amount of $5 per day that the child is under the care or
262	supervision of the department in order to partially offset the
263	cost of the care, support, maintenance, and other usual and
264	ordinary obligations of parents to provide for the needs of
265	their children while in the recommended residential commitment
266	level, unless the court makes a finding on the record that the
267	parent or guardian of the child is indigent.
268	2.  No later than the disposition hearing, the department
269	shall provide the court with information concerning the actual
270	cost of care, support, and maintenance of the child in the
271	recommended residential commitment level and concerning the
272	ability of the parent or guardian of the child to pay any fees.
273	If the court makes a finding of indigence, the parent or
274	guardianship shall pay to the department a nominal subsistence
275	fee of $2 per day that the child is committed outside the home
276	or $1 per day if the child is otherwise supervised in lieu of
277	other fees related to the parents' obligation for the child's
278	cost of care. The nominal subsistence fee may only be waived or
279	reduced if the court makes a finding that such payment would
280	constitute a significant financial hardship. Such finding shall
281	be in writing and shall contain a detailed description of the
282	facts that led the court to make both the finding of indigence
283	and the finding of significant financial hardship.
284	3.  In addition, the court may reduce the fees or waive the
285	fees as to each parent or guardian if the court makes a finding
286	on the record that the parent or guardian was the victim of the
287	delinquent act or violation of law for which the child is
288	subject to placement under this section and that the parent or
289	guardian has cooperated in the investigation and prosecution of
290	the offense.
291	4.  All orders committing a child to a residential
292	commitment program shall include specific findings as to what
293	fees are ordered, reduced, or waived. If the court fails to
294	enter an order as required by this paragraph, it shall be
295	presumed that the court intended the parent or guardian to pay
296	fees to the department in an amount of $5 per day related to the
297	care, support, and maintenance of the child. With regard to a
298	child who reaches the age of 18 prior to the disposition
299	hearing, the court may elect to direct an order required by this
300	paragraph to such child, rather than the parent or guardian.
301	With regard to a child who reaches the age of 18 while in the
302	custody of the department, the court may, upon proper motion of
303	any party, hold a hearing as to whether any party should be
304	further obligated respecting the payment of fees. When the order
305	affects the guardianship estate, a certified copy of the order
306	shall be delivered to the judge having jurisdiction of the
307	guardianship estate.
308	5.  The clerk of the circuit court shall act as a
309	depository for these fees. Upon each payment received, the clerk
310	of the circuit court shall receive a fee from the total payment
311	of 3 percent of any payment made except that no fee shall be
312	less than $1 nor more than $5 per payment made. This fee shall
313	serve as a service charge for the administration, management,
314	and maintenance of each payment. At the end of each month, the
315	clerk of the circuit court shall send all money collected under
316	this section to the state Grants and Donations Trust Fund.
317	6.  The parent or guardian shall provide to the department
318	the parent or guardian's name, address, social security number,
319	state of birth, and driver's license number or identification
320	card number and sufficient financial information for the
321	department to be able to determine the parent or guardian's
322	ability to pay. If the parent or guardian refuses to provide the
323	department with any identifying information or financial
324	information, the court shall order the parent to comply and may
325	pursue contempt of court sanctions for failure to comply.
326	7.  The department may employ a collection agency for the
327	purpose of receiving, collecting, and managing the payment of
328	unpaid and delinquent fees. The collection agency must be
329	registered and in good standing under chapter 559. The
330	department may pay to the collection agency a fee from the
331	amount collected under the claim or may authorize the agency to
332	deduct the fee from the amount collected. The department may
333	also pay for collection services from available authorized
334	funds.
335	8.  The department may enter into agreements with parents
336	or guardians to establish a schedule of periodic payments if
337	payment of the obligation in full presents an undue hardship.
338	Any such agreement may provide for payment of interests
339	consistent with prevailing loan rates.
340	9.  The Department of Juvenile Justice shall provide to the
341	payor documentation of any amounts paid by the payor to the
342	Department of Juvenile Justice on behalf of the child. All
343	payments received by the department pursuant to this subsection
344	shall be deposited in the state Grants and Donations Trust Fund.
345	10.  Neither the court nor the department may extend the
346	child's length of stay in placement care solely for the purpose
347	of collecting fees.
348	Section 5.  Paragraph (d) of subsection (4) of section
349	985.233, Florida Statutes, as amended by section 142 of chapter
350	2003-402, Laws of Florida, is amended to read:
351	985.233  Sentencing powers; procedures; alternatives for
352	juveniles prosecuted as adults.--
353	(4)  SENTENCING ALTERNATIVES.--
354	(d)  Recoupment of cost of care or supervision in juvenile
355	justice programs or facilities.--
356	1.  When the court orders any child to be supervised by or
357	committed commitment of a child to the Department of Juvenile
358	Justice for treatment in any of the department's programs for
359	children, the court shall order the parents of such child to pay
360	fees as provided under s. 985.2311 in the amount of $5 per day
361	that the child is under the care or supervision of the
362	department in order to partially offset the cost of the care,
363	support, maintenance, and other usual and ordinary obligations
364	of parents to provide for the needs of their children, unless
365	the court makes a finding on the record that the parent or legal
366	guardian of the child is indigent.
367	2.  Prior to commitment, the department shall provide the
368	court with information concerning the actual cost of care in the
369	recommended residential commitment level and concerning the
370	ability of the parent or guardian of the child to pay specified
371	fees. If the court makes a finding of indigency, the parent or
372	guardian shall pay to the department a nominal subsistence fee
373	of $2 per day that the child is committed outside the home or $1
374	per day if the child is otherwise supervised in lieu of other
375	fees related to the parent's obligation for the child's cost of
376	care. The nominal subsistence fee may only be waived or reduced
377	if the court makes a finding that such payment would constitute
378	a significant financial hardship. Such finding shall be in
379	writing and shall contain a detailed description of the facts
380	that led the court to make both the finding of indigency and the
381	finding of significant financial hardship.
382	3.  In addition, the court may reduce the fees or waive the
383	fees as to each parent or guardian if the court makes a finding
384	on the record that the parent or guardian was the victim of the
385	delinquent act or violation of law for which the child is
386	subject to commitment under this section and that the parent or
387	guardian has cooperated in the investigation and prosecution of
388	the offense. When the order affects the guardianship estate, a
389	certified copy of the order shall be delivered to the judge
390	having jurisdiction of the guardianship estate.
391	4.  All orders committing a child to a residential
392	commitment program shall include specific findings as to what
393	fees are ordered, reduced, or waived. If the court fails to
394	enter an order as required by this paragraph, it shall be
395	presumed that the court intended the parent or guardian to pay
396	fees to the department in an amount of $5 per day related to the
397	care, support, and maintenance of the child. With regard to a
398	child who reaches the age of 18 prior to the disposition
399	hearing, the court may elect to direct an order required by this
400	paragraph to such child, rather than the parent or guardian.
401	With regard to a child who reaches the age of 18 while in the
402	custody of the department, the court may, upon proper motion of
403	any party, hold a hearing as to whether any party should be
404	further obligated respecting the payment of fees.
405	5.  The clerk of the circuit court shall act as a
406	depository for these fees. Upon each payment received, the clerk
407	of the circuit court shall receive a fee from the total payment
408	of 3 percent of any payment made except that no fee shall be
409	less than $1 nor more than $5 per payment made. This fee shall
410	serve as a service charge for the administration, management,
411	and maintenance of each payment. At the end of each month, the
412	clerk of the circuit court shall send all money collected under
413	this section to the state Grants and Donations Trust Fund.
414	6.  The parent or guardian shall provide to the department
415	the parent or guardian's name, address, social security number,
416	date of birth, and driver's license number or identification
417	card number and sufficient financial information for the
418	department to be able to determine the parent or guardian's
419	ability to pay. If the parent or guardian refuses to provide the
420	department with any identifying information or financial
421	information, the court shall order the parent to comply and may
422	pursue contempt of court sanctions for failure to comply.
423	7.  The department may employ a collection agency for the
424	purpose of receiving, collecting, and managing the payment of
425	unpaid and delinquent fees. The collection agency must be
426	registered and in good standing under chapter 559. The
427	department may pay to the collection agency a fee from the
428	amount collected under the claim or may authorize the agency to
429	deduct the fee from the amount collected. The department may
430	also pay for collection services from available authorized
431	funds. The Department of Juvenile Justice shall provide to the
432	payor documentation of any amounts paid by the payor to the
433	Department of Juvenile Justice on behalf of the child. All
434	payments received by the department pursuant to this subsection
435	shall be deposited in the state Grants and Donations Trust Fund.
436	8.  Neither the court nor the department may extend the
437	child's length of stay in commitment care solely for the purpose
438	of collecting fees.
439
440	It is the intent of the Legislature that the criteria and
