151reasonable ground to believe that a parolee, control releasee,
152or conditional releasee has violated the terms and conditions of
153her or his parole, control release, or conditional release in a
154material respect, has the right to arrest, or to request any law
155enforcement officer to arrest, the releasee or parolee without
156warrant and bring her or him forthwith before one or more
157commissioners or a duly authorized representative of the Parole
158Commission or Control Release Authority; and proceedings shall
159thereupon be had as provided herein when a warrant has been
160issued by a member of the commission or authority or a duly
161authorized representative of the commission or authority. Upon
162request, local law enforcement officers may assist the probation
163officer in making a warrantless arrest of a releasee or parolee,
164taking a releasee or parolee into custody, and transporting a
165releasee or parolee to the county jail.
166     Section 5.  Subsections (4) and (10) of section 948.01,
167Florida Statutes, are amended, and subsection (9), paragraph (b)
168of subsection (11), and paragraph (b) of subsection (13) of said
169section are reenacted for the purpose of incorporating the
170amendment to s. 948.06, Florida Statutes, in references thereto,
171to read:
172     948.01  When court may place defendant on probation or into
173community control.--
174     (4)  The sanctions imposed by order of the court shall be
175commensurate with the seriousness of the offense. When community
176control or a program of public service is ordered by the court,
177the duration of community control supervision or public service
178may not be longer than the sentence that could have been imposed
179if the offender had been committed for the offense or a period
180not to exceed 2 years, whichever is less. When restitution or
181public service is ordered by the court, the amount of
182restitution or public service may not be greater than an amount
183which the offender could reasonably be expected to pay or
184perform.
185     (9)  Procedures governing violations of community control
186shall be the same as those described in s. 948.06 with respect
187to probation.
188     (10)  Unless agreed to by the state attorney as part of a
189negotiated plea or sentence, an offender may not be placed on in
190community control or probation if:
191     (a)  Convicted of or has adjudication withheld for a
192disqualifying forcible felony as defined in s. 776.08, and
193     (b)  Previously convicted of or had adjudication withheld
194for a disqualifying forcible felony as defined in s. 776.08.
195
196Nothing in this subsection prohibits placement of certain
197inmates on community control pursuant to s. 947.1747. For the
198purposes of this subsection, a "disqualifying forcible felony"
199means a forcible felony defined in s. 776.08, excluding burglary
200under s. 810.02(4) and aggravated assault committed without a
201deadly weapon under s. 784.021(1)(b) does not include
202manslaughter or burglary.
203     (11)  The court may also impose a split sentence whereby
204the defendant is sentenced to a term of probation which may be
205followed by a period of incarceration or, with respect to a
206felony, into community control, as follows:
207     (b)  If the offender does not meet the terms and conditions
208of probation or community control, the court may revoke, modify,
209or continue the probation or community control as provided in s.
210948.06. If the probation or community control is revoked, the
211court may impose any sentence that it could have imposed at the
212time the offender was placed on probation or community control.
213The court may not provide credit for time served for any portion
214of a probation or community control term toward a subsequent
215term of probation or community control. However, the court may
216not impose a subsequent term of probation or community control
217which, when combined with any amount of time served on preceding
218terms of probation or community control for offenses pending
219before the court for sentencing, would exceed the maximum
220penalty allowable as provided in s. 775.082. Such term of
221incarceration shall be served under applicable law or county
222ordinance governing service of sentences in state or county
223jurisdiction. This paragraph does not prohibit any other
224sanction provided by law.
225     (13)  If it appears to the court upon a hearing that the
226defendant is a chronic substance abuser whose criminal conduct
227is a violation of s. 893.13(2)(a) or (6)(a), the court may
228either adjudge the defendant guilty or stay and withhold the
229adjudication of guilt; and, in either case, it may stay and
230withhold the imposition of sentence and place the defendant on
231drug offender probation.
232     (b)  Offenders placed on drug offender probation are
233subject to revocation of probation as provided in s. 948.06.
234     Section 6.  Effective July 1, 2004, subsection (1) of
235section 948.03, Florida Statutes, as amended by section 136 of
236chapter 2003-402, Laws of Florida, is amended to read:

238control.--
239     (1)  The court shall determine the terms and conditions of
240probation or community control. Conditions specified in
241paragraphs (a)-(o) (a)-(m) do not require oral pronouncement at
242the time of sentencing and may be considered standard conditions
243of probation. Conditions specified in paragraphs (a)-(o) (a)-(m)
244and (2)(a) do not require oral pronouncement at sentencing and
245may be considered standard conditions of community control.
246These conditions may include among them the following, that the

264determines that clear and compelling reasons exist to the
265contrary. If the court does not order restitution, or orders

275such repayment and the amount of such repayment, shall consider
276the amount of the debt, whether there was any fault of the
277institution for the medical expenses incurred, the financial

332defendant is placed on probation, any restitution ordered under
333s. 775.089 shall be a condition of the probation. The court may
334revoke probation if the defendant fails to comply with the
335order. In determining whether to revoke probation, the court
336shall consider the defendant's employment status, earning
337ability, and financial resources; the willfulness of the
338defendant's failure to pay; and any other special circumstances
339that may have a bearing on the defendant's ability to pay. As
340provided in s. 948.06(5), it is the responsibility of the
341defendant to prove his or her inability to pay court-ordered
342restitution.
343     Section 8.  Effective July 1, 2004, and applicable to
344offenses committed on or after that date, section 948.06,
345Florida Statutes, is amended to read:
346     948.06  Violation of probation or community control;
347revocation; modification; continuance; failure to pay
348restitution or cost of supervision.--
349     (1)(a)  Whenever within the period of probation or
350community control there are reasonable grounds to believe that a
351probationer or offender on in community control has violated his
352or her probation or community control in a material respect, any
353law enforcement officer who is aware of the probationary or
354community control status of the probationer or offender in
355community control or any parole or probation supervisor may
356arrest or request any county or municipal law enforcement
357officer to arrest such probationer or offender without warrant
358wherever found and forthwith return him or her to the court
359granting such probation or community control. Upon request,
360local law enforcement officers may assist the probation officer
361in making a warrantless arrest of a probationer or community
362controllee, taking a probationer or community controllee into
363custody, and transporting a probationer or community controllee
364to the county jail. Any committing magistrate may issue a
365warrant, upon the facts being made known to him or her by
366affidavit of one having knowledge of such facts, for the arrest
367of the probationer or offender, returnable forthwith before the
368court granting such probation or community control. Any parole
369or probation supervisor, any officer authorized to serve
370criminal process, or any peace officer of this state is
371authorized to serve and execute such warrant.
372     (b)  Upon the filing of an affidavit alleging a violation
373of probation or community control and following issuance of a
374warrant under s. 901.02 or upon warrantless arrest, the
375probationary period is tolled until the court enters a ruling on
376the violation. Notwithstanding the tolling of probation as
377provided in this subsection, the court shall retain jurisdiction
378over the offender for any violation of the conditions of
379probation or community control that is alleged to have occurred
380during the tolling period. The probation officer is permitted to
381continue to supervise any offender who remains available to the
382officer for supervision until the supervision expires pursuant
383to the order of probation or community control or until the
384court revokes or terminates the probation or community control,
385whichever comes first.
386     (2)  The court, upon the probationer or offender being
387brought before it, shall advise him or her of such charge of
388violation. and,
389     (a)  If such violation of probation or community control
390charge is admitted to be true, the court may forthwith revoke,
391modify, or continue the probation or community control or place
392the probationer into a community control program. If probation
393or community control is revoked, the court shall adjudge the
394probationer or offender guilty of the offense charged and proven
395or admitted, unless he or she has previously been adjudged
396guilty, and impose any sentence which it might have originally
397imposed before placing the probationer on probation or the
398offender into community control.
399     (b)  If such violation of probation or community control is
400not admitted by the probationer or offender, the court may
401commit him or her or release him or her with or without bail to
402await further hearing, except that a defendant who is on
403probation or community control for a high-risk felony, as
404defined in subsection (10), must be held without bail for an
405alleged violation that involves a nonmonetary condition of
406supervision or it may dismiss the charge of probation or
407community control violation. If such charge is not at that time
408admitted by the probationer or offender and if it is not
409dismissed, The court, as soon as may be practicable, shall give
410the probationer or offender an opportunity to be fully heard on
411his or her behalf in person or by counsel. The state shall be
412represented by the state attorney at such hearing and shall be
413given an opportunity to be heard and to present evidence. After
414such hearing, the court may revoke, modify, or continue the
415probation or community control or place the probationer into
416community control. If such probation or community control is
417revoked, the court shall adjudge the probationer or offender
418guilty of the offense charged and proven or admitted, unless he
419or she has previously been adjudged guilty, and impose any
420sentence which it might have originally imposed before placing
421the probationer or offender on probation or into community
422control.
423     (c)  Notwithstanding s. 775.082, when a period of probation
424or community control has been tolled, upon revocation or
425modification of the probation or community control, the court
426may impose a sanction with a term that when combined with the
427amount of supervision served and tolled, exceeds the term
428permissible pursuant to s. 775.082 for a term up to the amount
429of the tolled period supervision.
430     (d)  If the court dismisses an affidavit alleging a
431violation of probation or community control, the offender's
432probation or community control shall continue as previously
433imposed, and the offender shall receive credit for all tolled
434time against his or her term of probation or community control.
435     (e)  For any violation in which the court indicates it will
436consider a downward departure sentence below the lowest
437permissible sentence of the Criminal Punishment Code, the
438department shall provide to the court a list of programs and
439services available for the court to include in the defendant's
440defendant's sentence on the violation. The list from the
441department must include, but need not be limited to, evaluation
442and treatment programs, residential treatment facilities,
443educational or vocational training programs, substance abuse
444testing, electronic monitoring, and community resources that
445would assist the offender in successful completion of his or her
446period of community supervision.
447     (3)(2)(a)  When any state or local law enforcement agency
448investigates or arrests a person for committing, or attempting,
449soliciting, or conspiring to commit, a violation of s. 787.025,
450chapter 794, s. 796.03, s. 800.04, s. 827.071, s. 847.0133, s.
451847.0135, or s. 847.0145, the law enforcement agency shall
452contact the Department of Corrections to verify whether the
453person under investigation or under arrest is on probation,
454community control, parole, conditional release, or control
455release.
456     (b)  If the law enforcement agency finds that the person
457under investigation or under arrest is on probation, community
458control, parole, conditional release, or control release, the
459law enforcement agency shall immediately notify the person's
460probation officer or release supervisor of the investigation or
461the arrest.
462     (4)(3)  When the court imposes a subsequent term of
463supervision following a revocation of probation or community
464control, it shall not provide credit for time served while on
465probation or community control toward any subsequent term of
466probation or community control. However, the court may not
467impose a subsequent term of probation or community control
468which, when combined with any amount of time served on preceding
469terms of probation or community control for offenses before the
470court for sentencing, would exceed the maximum penalty allowable
471as provided by s. 775.082. No part of the time that the
472defendant is on probation or in community control shall be
473considered as any part of the time that he or she shall be
474sentenced to serve.
475     (5)(4)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this
476section, a probationer or an offender in community control who
477is arrested for violating his or her probation or community
478control in a material respect may be taken before the court in
479the county or circuit in which the probationer or offender was
480arrested. That court shall advise him or her of such charge of a
481violation and, if such charge is admitted, shall cause him or
482her to be brought before the court which granted the probation
483or community control.
484     (a)  If such violation is not admitted by the probationer
485or offender, the court may commit him or her or release him or
486her with or without bail to await further hearing. The court, as
487soon as is practicable, shall give the probationer or offender
488an opportunity to be fully heard on his or her behalf in person
489or by counsel.
490     (b)  After such hearing, the court shall make findings of
491fact and forward the findings to the court which granted the
492probation or community control and to the probationer or
493offender or his or her attorney. The findings of fact by the
494hearing court are binding on the court which granted the
495probation or community control. Upon the probationer or offender
496being brought before it, the court which granted the probation
497or community control may revoke, modify, or continue the
498probation or community control or may place the probationer into
499community control as provided in this section.
500     (6)(5)  Whenever the department submits a violation report
501to the court involving allegations of failure to pay court-
502ordered obligations, the department shall include a statement by
503the probationer or offender on community control concerning his
504or her ability to pay such obligations. In any hearing in which
505the failure of a probationer or offender in community control to
506pay restitution or the cost of supervision as provided in s.
507948.09, as directed, is established by the state, if the
508probationer or offender asserts his or her inability to pay
509restitution or the cost of supervision, it is incumbent upon the
510probationer or offender to prove by clear and convincing
511evidence that he or she does not have the present resources
512available to pay restitution or the cost of supervision despite
513sufficient bona fide efforts legally to acquire the resources to
514do so. If the probationer or offender cannot pay restitution or
515the cost of supervision despite sufficient bona fide efforts,
516the court shall consider alternate measures of punishment other
517than imprisonment. Only if alternate measures are not adequate
518to meet the state's interests in punishment and deterrence may
519the court imprison a probationer or offender in community
520control who has demonstrated sufficient bona fide efforts to pay
521restitution or the cost of supervision.
522     (7)(6)  Any parolee in a community control program who has
523allegedly violated the terms and conditions of such placement is
524subject to the provisions of ss. 947.22 and 947.23.
525     (8)(7)  Any provision of law to the contrary
526notwithstanding, whenever probation, community control, or
527control release, including the probationary, community control
528portion of a split sentence, is violated and the probation or
529community control is revoked, the offender, by reason of his or
530her misconduct, shall be deemed to have forfeited all gain-time
531or commutation of time for good conduct, as provided by law,
532earned up to the date of his or her release on probation,
533community control, or control release. This subsection does not
534deprive the prisoner of his or her right to gain-time or
535commutation of time for good conduct, as provided by law, from
536the date on which the prisoner is returned to prison. However,
537if a prisoner is sentenced to incarceration following
538termination from a drug punishment program imposed as a
539condition of probation, the sentence may include incarceration
540without the possibility of gain-time or early release for the
541period of time remaining in his or her treatment program
542placement term.
543     (9)(a)  The court shall conduct a danger to the community
544hearing as provided in paragraph (b) to determine whether the
545defendant poses a risk of physical harm to persons if:
546     1.  The defendant is on probation or community control for
547a high-risk felony; or
548     2.  The defendant is on probation or community control for
549any felony and has been adjudged to be in violation of
550nonmonetary conditions of probation or community control for the
551current felony and has been previously convicted of, or had
552adjudication of guilt withheld for, a high-risk felony, a
553forcible felony as defined in s. 776.08, or any violation of s.
554800.04.
555     (b)  In a danger to the community hearing, the court may
556conclude that a defendant poses a risk of physical harm to
557persons based on factors, including, but not limited to:
558     1.  The defendant's sentence for the felony included court-
559ordered treatment for abuse of illegal controlled substances and
560the present violation was committed for the purpose of acquiring
561controlled substances.
562     2.  The defendant has two prior nonmonetary violations of
563the current supervision and has:
564     a.  Committed a new felony offense, excluding felony
565violations of chapters 815, 817, 818, 823, 831, 832, 837, 838,
566839, 849, and 896; or
567     b.  Committed a new misdemeanor offense involving the use
568or threatened use of force or violence.
569     3.  The defendant has three prior nonmonetary violations of
570the current supervision.
571     4.  The defendant is in violation of a condition of
572supervision involving contacting a victim against the victim's
573will or involving contacting a minor in violation of s.
574948.03(5), if the felony was committed against a minor.
575
576At the conclusion of the danger to the community hearing, the
577court shall state its finding as to whether the defendant poses
578a risk of physical harm to persons. A finding that the defendant
579poses a risk of physical harm to persons must be established by
580a preponderance of the evidence. If the court finds that the
581defendant does not pose a risk of physical harm to persons, the
582court shall state its reasons for such finding on the record.
583     (10)  For purposes of this chapter, the term "high-risk
584felony" means lewd or lascivious battery as defined in s.
585800.04, an act of terrorism as defined in s. 775.30, or any
586forcible felony defined in s. 776.08, excluding burglary under
587s. 810.02(4) and aggravated assault committed without a deadly
588weapon under s. 784.021(1)(b).
589     (11)  The state attorney shall represent the state in all
590hearings described in this chapter regarding persons on
591probation or community control. The state shall be given the
592opportunity to be heard and to present evidence to establish the
593defendant's violation and the facts or circumstances which
594support a finding that a defendant poses a threat of physical
595harm to persons.
