92 | to the community may, upon satisfactory completion of half the |
93 | term of probation, be transferred placed by the Department of |

105 | community control.-- |
106 | (3) If, after considering the provisions of subsection (2) |
107 | and the offender's prior record or the seriousness of the |
108 | offense, it appears to the court in the case of a felony |
109 | disposition that probation is an unsuitable dispositional |
110 | alternative to imprisonment, the court may place the offender in |
111 | a community control program as provided in s. 948.10. Or, in a |
112 | case of prior disposition of a felony commitment, upon motion of |
113 | the offender or the department or upon its own motion, the court |
114 | may, within the period of its retained jurisdiction following |
115 | commitment, suspend the further execution of the disposition and |
116 | place the offender in a community control program upon such |
117 | terms as the court may require. The court may consult with a |
118 | local offender advisory council pursuant to s. 948.90 with |
119 | respect to the placement of an offender into community control. |
120 | Not later than 3 working days before the hearing on the motion, |
121 | the department shall forward to the court all relevant material |
122 | on the offender's progress while in custody. If this sentencing |
123 | alternative to incarceration is utilized, the court shall: |
124 | (c) Require the department to provide notifications |
125 | pursuant to s. 948.10(7)(6). |
126 | (5)(7) In no case shall The imposition of sentence may not |

131 | supervision services to felony or misdemeanor offenders |
132 | sentenced or placed on probation or other supervision by the |
133 | circuit court. |
134 | (6)(8) When the court, under any of the foregoing |
135 | subsections, places a defendant on probation or into community |
136 | control, it may specify that the defendant serve all or part of |
137 | the probationary or community control period in a community |
138 | residential or nonresidential facility under the jurisdiction of |
139 | the Department of Corrections or the Department of Children and |
140 | Family Services or any public or private entity providing such |
141 | services, and it shall require the payment prescribed in s. |
142 | 948.09. |

144 | Statutes, is renumbered as subsection (11), and subsection (5) |
145 | of section 948.01, Florida Statutes, is transferred and |
146 | renumbered as subsection (10) of section 948.10, Florida |
147 | Statutes. |
148 | Section 4. Subsection (12) of section 948.01, Florida |
149 | Statutes, is amended, transferred, and renumbered as subsection |
150 | (3) of section 948.012, Florida Statutes, and subsections (6) |
151 | and (11) of section 948.01, Florida Statutes, are transferred |
152 | and renumbered, respectively, as subsections (1) and (2) of |
153 | section 948.012, Florida Statutes, which is created to read: |
154 | 948.012 Split sentence of probation or community control |
155 | and imprisonment.-- |
156 | (1)(6) Whenever punishment by imprisonment for a |
157 | misdemeanor or a felony, except for a capital felony, is |
158 | prescribed, the court, in its discretion, may, at the time of |
159 | sentencing, impose a split sentence whereby the defendant is to |
160 | be placed on probation or, with respect to any such felony, into |
161 | community control upon completion of any specified period of |
162 | such sentence which may include a term of years or less. In |
163 | such case, the court shall stay and withhold the imposition of |
164 | the remainder of sentence imposed upon the defendant and direct |
165 | that the defendant be placed upon probation or into community |
166 | control after serving such period as may be imposed by the |
167 | court. The period of probation or community control shall |
168 | commence immediately upon the release of the defendant from |
169 | incarceration, whether by parole or gain-time allowances. |
170 | (2)(11) The court may also impose a split sentence whereby |
171 | the defendant is sentenced to a term of probation which may be |
172 | followed by a period of incarceration or, with respect to a |
173 | felony, into community control, as follows: |
174 | (a) If the offender meets the terms and conditions of |
175 | probation or community control, any term of incarceration may be |
176 | modified by court order to eliminate the term of incarceration. |
177 | (b) If the offender does not meet the terms and conditions |
178 | of probation or community control, the court may revoke, modify, |
179 | or continue the probation or community control as provided in s. |
180 | 948.06. If the probation or community control is revoked, the |
181 | court may impose any sentence that it could have imposed at the |
182 | time the offender was placed on probation or community control. |
183 | The court may not provide credit for time served for any portion |
184 | of a probation or community control term toward a subsequent |
185 | term of probation or community control. However, the court may |
186 | not impose a subsequent term of probation or community control |
187 | which, when combined with any amount of time served on preceding |
188 | terms of probation or community control for offenses pending |
189 | before the court for sentencing, would exceed the maximum |
190 | penalty allowable as provided in s. 775.082. Such term of |
191 | incarceration shall be served under applicable law or county |
192 | ordinance governing service of sentences in state or county |
193 | jurisdiction. This paragraph does not prohibit any other |
194 | sanction provided by law. |
195 | (3)(12) The court may also impose split probation whereby, |
196 | upon satisfactory completion of half the term of probation, the |
197 | Department of Corrections may place the offender on |
198 | administrative probation as defined in s. 948.001 for the |
199 | remainder of the term of supervision. |

211 | 948.10 Community control programs.-- |
212 | (2)(10) An offender may not be placed in community control |
213 | if: |
214 | (a) Convicted of or adjudication withheld for a forcible |
215 | felony as defined in s. 776.08, and |
216 | (b) Previously convicted of or adjudication withheld for a |
217 | forcible felony as defined in s. 776.08. |
218 |

220 | inmates on community control pursuant to s. 947.1747. For the |
221 | purposes of this subsection, a forcible felony does not include |
222 | manslaughter or burglary. |
223 | (8)(7) If an offender is sentenced to community control by |
224 | the court and the offender is ineligible to be placed on |
225 | community control as provided in subsection (2) s. 948.01(10), |
226 | the department shall: |

238 | Representatives, and the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court on |
239 | the placement of ineligible offenders on community control in |

249 | either adjudge the defendant guilty or stay and withhold the |
250 | adjudication of guilt; and, in either case, it may stay and |
251 | withhold the imposition of sentence and place the defendant on |
252 | drug offender probation. |

262 | community control, except that specific treatment conditions and |
263 | other treatment approaches necessary to monitor this population |
264 | may be ordered. |
265 | (2)(b) Offenders placed on drug offender probation are |

305 | theretofore imposed by it upon the offender in community |
306 | control. However, if the court withholds adjudication of guilt |
307 | or imposes a period of incarceration as a condition of community |
308 | control, the period may not exceed 364 days, and incarceration |

323 | associated with community control, except that specific |
324 | conditions necessary to monitor this population may be ordered. |
325 | Section 9. Subsection (15) of section 948.01, Florida |

824 | granting such probation or community control. |
825 | (c) Any parole or probation supervisor, any officer |
826 | authorized to serve criminal process, or any peace officer of |
827 | this state is authorized to serve and execute such warrant. |
828 | (d) Upon the filing of an affidavit alleging a violation |
829 | of probation or community control and following issuance of a |
830 | warrant under s. 901.02, the probationary period is tolled until |
831 | the court enters a ruling on the violation. Notwithstanding the |
832 | tolling of probation as provided in this section subsection, the |
833 | court shall retain jurisdiction over the offender for any |
834 | violation of the conditions of probation or community control |
835 | that is alleged to have occurred during the tolling period. The |
836 | probation officer is permitted to continue to supervise any |
837 | offender who remains available to the officer for supervision |
838 | until the supervision expires pursuant to the order of probation |
839 | or community control or until the court revokes or terminates |
840 | the probation or community control, whichever comes first. |
841 | (2)(a) The court, upon the probationer or offender being |
842 | brought before it, shall advise him or her of such charge of |
843 | violation and, if such charge is admitted to be true, may |
844 | forthwith revoke, modify, or continue the probation or community |
845 | control or place the probationer into a community control |
846 | program. |
847 | (b) If probation or community control is revoked, the |
848 | court shall adjudge the probationer or offender guilty of the |
849 | offense charged and proven or admitted, unless he or she has |
850 | previously been adjudged guilty, and impose any sentence which |
851 | it might have originally imposed before placing the probationer |
852 | on probation or the offender into community control. |
853 | (c) If such violation of probation or community control is |
854 | not admitted by the probationer or offender, the court may |
855 | commit him or her or release him or her with or without bail to |
856 | await further hearing, or it may dismiss the charge of probation |
857 | or community control violation. |
858 | (d) If such charge is not at that time admitted by the |
859 | probationer or offender and if it is not dismissed, the court, |
860 | as soon as may be practicable, shall give the probationer or |
861 | offender an opportunity to be fully heard on his or her behalf |
862 | in person or by counsel. |
863 | (e) After such hearing, the court may revoke, modify, or |
864 | continue the probation or community control or place the |
865 | probationer into community control. If such probation or |
866 | community control is revoked, the court shall adjudge the |
867 | probationer or offender guilty of the offense charged and proven |
868 | or admitted, unless he or she has previously been adjudged |
869 | guilty, and impose any sentence which it might have originally |
870 | imposed before placing the probationer or offender on probation |
871 | or into community control. |
872 | (f) Notwithstanding s. 775.082, when a period of probation |
873 | or community control has been tolled, upon revocation or |
874 | modification of the probation or community control, the court |
875 | may impose a sanction with a term that when combined with the |
876 | amount of supervision served and tolled, exceeds the term |
877 | permissible pursuant to s. 775.082 for a term up to the amount |
878 | of the tolled period of supervision. |
879 | (g) If the court dismisses an affidavit alleging a |
880 | violation of probation or community control, the offender's |
881 | probation or community control shall continue as previously |
882 | imposed, and the offender shall receive credit for all tolled |
883 | time against his or her term of probation or community control. |
884 | (5) In any hearing in which the failure of a probationer |
885 | or offender in community control to pay restitution or the cost |
886 | of supervision as provided in s. 948.09, as directed, is |
887 | established by the state, if the probationer or offender asserts |
888 | his or her inability to pay restitution or the cost of |
889 | supervision, it is incumbent upon the probationer or offender to |
890 | prove by clear and convincing evidence that he or she does not |
891 | have the present resources available to pay restitution or the |
892 | cost of supervision despite sufficient bona fide efforts legally |
893 | to acquire the resources to do so. If the probationer or |
894 | offender cannot pay restitution or the cost of supervision |
895 | despite sufficient bona fide efforts, the court shall consider |
896 | alternate measures of punishment other than imprisonment. Only |
897 | if alternate measures are not adequate to meet the state's |
898 | interests in punishment and deterrence may the court imprison a |
899 | probationer or offender in community control who has |
900 | demonstrated sufficient bona fide efforts to pay restitution or |
901 | the cost of supervision. |
902 | Section 22. Subsection (2) of section 948.06, Florida |
903 | Statutes, is amended, transferred, and renumbered as section |
904 | 948.32, Florida Statutes, which is created to read: |
905 | 948.32 Requirements of law enforcement agency upon arrest |
906 | of persons for certain sex offenses.-- |
907 | (1)(2)(a) When any state or local law enforcement agency |
908 | investigates or arrests a person for committing, or attempting, |
909 | soliciting, or conspiring to commit, a violation of s. 787.025, |
910 | chapter 794, s. 796.03, s. 800.04, s. 827.071, s. 847.0133, s. |
911 | 847.0135, or s. 847.0145, the law enforcement agency shall |
912 | contact the Department of Corrections to verify whether the |
913 | person under investigation or under arrest is on probation, |
914 | community control, parole, conditional release, or control |
915 | release. |
916 | (2)(b) If the law enforcement agency finds that the person |
917 | under investigation or under arrest is on probation, community |
918 | control, parole, conditional release, or control release, the |
919 | law enforcement agency shall immediately notify the person's |
920 | probation officer or release supervisor of the investigation or |
921 | the arrest. |
922 | Section 23. Subsection (1) of section 948.09, Florida |
923 | Statutes, is amended to read: |
924 | 948.09 Payment for cost of supervision and |
925 | rehabilitation.-- |
926 | (1)(a)1. Any person ordered by the court, the Department |
927 | of Corrections, or the parole commission to be placed on |
928 | probation, drug offender probation, community control, parole, |
929 | control release, provisional release supervision, addiction- |
930 | recovery supervision, or conditional release supervision under |
931 | chapter 944, chapter 945, chapter 947, chapter 948, or chapter |
932 | 958, or in a pretrial intervention program, must, as a condition |
933 | of any placement, pay the department a total sum of money equal |
934 | to the total month or portion of a month of supervision times |
935 | the court-ordered amount, but not to exceed the actual per diem |
936 | cost of the supervision. The department shall adopt rules by |
937 | which an offender who pays in full and in advance of regular |
938 | termination of supervision may receive a reduction in the amount |
939 | due. The rules shall incorporate provisions by which the |
940 | offender's ability to pay is linked to an established written |
941 | payment plan. Funds collected from felony offenders may be used |
942 | to offset costs of the Department of Corrections associated with |
943 | community supervision programs, subject to appropriation by the |
944 | Legislature. |
945 | 2. In addition to any other contribution or surcharge |
946 | imposed by this section, each felony offender assessed under |
947 | this paragraph shall pay a $2-per-month surcharge to the |
948 | department. The surcharge shall be deemed to be paid only after |
949 | the full amount of any monthly payment required by the |
950 | established written payment plan has been collected by the |
951 | department. These funds shall be used by the department to pay |
952 | for correctional probation officers' training and equipment, |
953 | including radios, and firearms training, firearms, and attendant |
954 | equipment necessary to train and equip officers who choose to |
955 | carry a concealed firearm while on duty. Nothing in this |
956 | subparagraph shall be construed to limit the department's |
957 | authority to determine who shall be authorized to carry a |
958 | concealed firearm while on duty, or to limit the right of a |
959 | correctional probation officer to carry a personal firearm |
960 | approved by the department. |
961 | (b) Any person placed on misdemeanor probation by a county |
962 | court must contribute not less than $40 per month, as decided by |
963 | the sentencing court, to the court-approved public or private |
964 | entity providing misdemeanor supervision. |
965 | Section 24. Subsection (1) of section 948.04, Florida |
966 | Statutes, is amended to read: |
967 | 948.04 Period of probation; duty of probationer; early |
968 | termination.-- |
969 | (1) Defendants found guilty of felonies who are placed on |
970 | probation shall be under supervision not to exceed 2 years |
971 | unless otherwise specified by the court. No defendant placed on |
972 | probation pursuant to s. 948.012(1) 948.01(6) or s. 948.034 is |
973 | subject to the probation limitations of this subsection. A |
974 | defendant who is placed on probation or community control for a |
975 | violation of chapter 794 or chapter 827 is subject to the |
976 | maximum level of supervision provided by the supervising agency, |
977 | and that supervision shall continue through the full term of the |
978 | court-imposed probation or community control. |
979 | Section 25. Paragraph (c) of subsection (17) of section |
980 | 440.02, Florida Statutes, is amended to read: |

990 | fewer regular employees and that employs fewer than 12 other |
991 | employees at one time for seasonal agricultural labor that is |
992 | completed in less than 30 days, provided such seasonal |
993 | employment does not exceed 45 days in the same calendar year. |

1016 | (b) The high level of threat that a sexual predator |
1017 | presents to the public safety, and the long-term effects |
1018 | suffered by victims of sex offenses, provide the state with |
1019 | sufficient justification to implement a strategy that includes: |
1020 | 1. Incarcerating sexual predators and maintaining adequate |
1021 | facilities to ensure that decisions to release sexual predators |
1022 | into the community are not made on the basis of inadequate |
1023 | space. |
1024 | 2. Providing for specialized supervision of sexual |
1025 | predators who are in the community by specially trained |
1026 | probation officers with low caseloads, as described in ss. |

1037 | concerning the presence of sexual predators. |

1040 | Section 27. Paragraph (b) of subsection (2) of section |
1041 | 812.0155, Florida Statutes, is amended to read: |
1042 | 812.0155 Suspension of driver's license following an |
1043 | adjudication of guilt for theft.-- |
1044 | (2) The court may revoke, suspend, or withhold issuance of |
1045 | a driver's license of a person less than 18 years of age who |
1046 | violates s. 812.014 or s. 812.015 as an alternative to |
1047 | sentencing the person to: |
1048 | (b) Probation as defined in s. 985.03, commitment to the |
1049 | Department of Juvenile Justice, probation as defined in chapter |
1050 | 948 s. 948.01, community control, or incarceration, if the |
1051 | person is convicted as an adult of such violation and has not |
1052 | previously been convicted of or adjudicated delinquent for any |
1053 | criminal offense, regardless of whether adjudication was |
1054 | withheld. |
1055 | Section 28. Section 921.0017, Florida Statutes, is amended |
1056 | to read: |
1057 | 921.0017 Credit upon recommitment of offender serving |
1058 | split sentence.--Effective for offenses committed on or after |
1059 | January 1, 1994, if an offender's probation or community control |
1060 | is revoked and the offender is serving a split sentence pursuant |
1061 | to s. 948.012 948.01, upon recommitment to the Department of |
1062 | Corrections, the court shall order credit for time served in |
1063 | state prison or county jail only, without considering any type |
1064 | of gain-time earned before release to supervision, or any type |
1065 | of sentence reduction granted to avoid prison overcrowding, |
1066 | including, but not limited to, any sentence reduction resulting |
1067 | from administrative gain-time, provisional credits, or control |
1068 | release. The court shall determine the amount of jail-time |
1069 | credit to be awarded for time served between the date of arrest |
1070 | as a violator and the date of recommitment, and shall direct the |
1071 | Department of Corrections to compute and apply credit for all |
1072 | other time served previously on the prior sentence for the |
1073 | offense for which the offender is being recommitted. This |
1074 | section does not affect or limit the department's authority to |
1075 | forfeit gain-time under ss. 944.28(1) and 948.06(7). |
1076 | Section 29. Paragraph (a) of subsection (1) of section |

1078 | 921.187 Disposition and sentencing; alternatives; |
1079 | restitution.-- |
1080 | (1) The alternatives provided in this section for the |
1081 | disposition of criminal cases shall be used in a manner that |
1082 | will best serve the needs of society, punish criminal offenders, |
1083 | and provide the opportunity for rehabilitation. |
1084 | (a) If the offender does not receive a state prison |
1085 | sentence, the court may: |
1086 | 1. Impose a split sentence whereby the offender is to be |
1087 | placed on probation upon completion of any specified period of |

1096 | intensive supervision and surveillance pursuant to chapter 948. |

1103 | center as defined in s. 944.026, which is owned and operated by |
1104 | any qualified public or private entity providing such services. |
1105 | Before admission to such a facility, the court shall obtain an |
1106 | individual assessment and recommendations on the appropriate |
1107 | treatment needs, which shall be considered by the court in |
1108 | ordering such placements. Placement in such a facility, except |
1109 | for a county residential probation facility, may not exceed 364 |
1110 | days. Placement in a county residential probation facility may |
1111 | not exceed 3 years. Early termination of placement may be |
1112 | recommended to the court, when appropriate, by the center |
1113 | supervisor, the supervising probation officer, or the probation |
1114 | program manager. |
1115 | 7. Sentence the offender pursuant to s. 922.051 to |
1116 | imprisonment in a county jail when a statute directs |

1119 | circuits, is not more than 364 days. |
1120 | 8. Sentence the offender who is to be punished by |
1121 | imprisonment in a county jail to a jail in another county if |

1165 | Section 30. Subsection (6) of section 947.23, Florida |
1166 | Statutes, is amended to read: |
1167 | 947.23 Action of commission upon arrest of parolee.-- |
1168 | (6) Within a reasonable time after the hearing, the |
1169 | commissioner, commissioners, or duly authorized representative |
1170 | of the commission who conducted the hearing shall make findings |
1171 | of fact in regard to the alleged parole violation. |
1172 | (a) If the hearing was conducted by three or more |
1173 | commissioners, a majority of them shall enter an order |
1174 | determining whether the charges of parole violation have been |
1175 | sustained, based on the findings of fact made by them. By such |
1176 | order they shall revoke the parole and return the parolee to |
1177 | prison to serve the sentence theretofore imposed upon her or |
1178 | him, reinstate the original order of parole, order the placement |
1179 | of the parolee into a community control program as set forth in |
1180 | s. 948.10, subject to the terms and conditions specified under |

1185 | determining whether or not the charges of parole violation have |
1186 | been sustained, based on the findings of fact made by the |
1187 | commissioner, commissioners, or duly authorized representative |
1188 | of the commission. The commissioners, by such order, shall |
1189 | revoke the parole and return the parolee to prison to serve the |
1190 | sentence theretofore imposed upon her or him, reinstate the |
1191 | original order of parole, order the placement of the parolee |
1192 | into a community control program as set forth in s. 948.10, |
1193 | subject to the terms and conditions specified under s. 948.101, |
1194 | 948.03, or enter such other order as is proper. |
1195 | (c) If the disposition after the revocation hearing is to |

1197 | commission shall be guided by the procedures and requirements |
1198 | provided in chapter 948 which apply to the courts regarding the |
1199 | development and implementation of community control. |
1200 |
|
1201 | However, any decision to revoke parole shall be based on a |
1202 | violation of a term or condition specifically enumerated in the |
1203 | parole release order. In a case in which parole is revoked, the |
1204 | majority of the commission or the two commissioners shall make a |
1205 | written statement of the evidence relied on and the reasons for |
1206 | revoking parole. |
1207 | Section 31. Section 958.14, Florida Statutes, is amended |
1208 | to read: |

1214 | a substantive violation for a period longer than the maximum |
1215 | sentence for the offense for which he or she was found guilty, |
1216 | with credit for time served while incarcerated, or for a |
1217 | technical or nonsubstantive violation for a period longer than 6 |
1218 | years or for a period longer than the maximum sentence for the |
1219 | offense for which he or she was found guilty, whichever is less, |

1222 | to section 948.09, Florida Statutes, in references thereto, |
1223 | paragraph (b) of subsection (2) and paragraph(b) of subsection |
1224 | (7) of section 944.4731, Florida Statutes, are reenacted to |

1226 | 944.4731 Addiction-Recovery Supervision Program.-- |
1227 | (2) |
1228 | (b) An offender released under addiction-recovery |
1229 | supervision shall be subject to specified terms and conditions, |
1230 | including payment of the costs of supervision under s. 948.09 |
1231 | and any other court-ordered payments, such as child support and |
1232 | restitution. If an offender has received a term of probation or |
1233 | community control to be served after release from incarceration, |
1234 | the period of probation or community control may not be |
1235 | substituted for addiction-recovery supervision and shall follow |
1236 | the term of addiction-recovery supervision. A panel of not fewer |
1237 | than two parole commissioners shall establish the terms and |
1238 | conditions of supervision, and the terms and conditions must be |
1239 | included in the supervision order. In setting the terms and |
1240 | conditions of supervision, the parole commission shall weigh |
1241 | heavily the program requirements, including, but not limited to, |
1242 | work at paid employment while participating in treatment and |
1243 | traveling restrictions. The commission shall also determine |
1244 | whether an offender violates the terms and conditions of |
1245 | supervision and whether a violation warrants revocation of |
1246 | addiction-recovery supervision pursuant to s. 947.141. The |
1247 | parole commission shall review the offender's record for the |
1248 | purpose of establishing the terms and conditions of supervision. |
1249 | The parole commission may impose any special conditions it |
1250 | considers warranted from its review of the record. The length of |
1251 | supervision may not exceed the maximum penalty imposed by the |
1252 | court. |
1253 | (7) While participating in a substance abuse transition |
1254 | housing program, an offender shall: |
1255 | (b) Pay fees to defray program costs, costs of supervision |
1256 | required under s. 948.09, and any restitution or obligations for |
1257 | child support. |
1258 | Section 33. For the purpose of incorporating the amendment |
1259 | to section 948.10, Florida Statutes, in a reference thereto, |
1260 | section 947.1747, Florida Statutes, is reenacted to read: |
1261 | 947.1747 Community control as a special condition of |
1262 | parole.--Upon the establishment of an effective parole release |
1263 | date as provided for in ss. 947.1745 and 947.1746, the |
1264 | commission may, as a special condition of parole, require an |
1265 | inmate to be placed in the community control program of the |
1266 | Department of Corrections as described in s. 948.10 for a period |
1267 | not exceeding 6 months. In every case in which the commission |
1268 | decides to place an inmate on community control as a special |
1269 | condition of parole, the commission shall provide a written |
1270 | explanation of the reasons for its decision. |
1271 | Section 34. In the event that any amendment made by the |
1272 | provisions of this act conflicts with any substantive amendment |
1273 | made to this chapter by other legislative enactments passed in |
1274 | the 2004 Regular Session, the provisions of this act shall be |
1275 | subordinate to other enactments, regardless of the order of |
1276 | passage. It is the intent of the Legislature that this act |
1277 | effect no substantive changes to the law. |
1278 | Section 35. This act shall take effect July 1, 2004. |
