65 | 9. Require the offender to participate in a work-release |

105 | general education needs of the individual offender. |
106 | (2) Unless agreed to by the state attorney as part of a |
107 | negotiated plea or sentence, an offender may not be placed on in |

111 | (b) Previously convicted of or adjudication was withheld |
112 | for a disqualifying forcible felony as defined in s. 776.08. |
113 |
|
114 | Nothing in this subsection prohibits placement of certain |
115 | inmates on community control pursuant to s. 947.1747. For |
116 | purposes of this subsection, the term "disqualifying a forcible |
117 | felony" means a forcible felony defined in s. 776.08, excluding |
118 | burglary under s. 810.02(4) and aggravated assault committed |
119 | without a deadly weapon under s. 784.021(1)(b) does not include |
120 | manslaughter or burglary. |
121 | Section 3. Section 903.0473, Florida Statutes, is created |
122 | to read: |
123 | 903.0473 Probation appearance bond.--As a condition of |
124 | probation, community control, or any other court-ordered |
125 | community supervision authorized under chapter 948, the court |
126 | may order the posting of a bond to secure the appearance of the |
127 | defendant at any subsequent court proceeding. The appearance |
128 | bond shall be filed by the bail agent with the sheriff who shall |
129 | provide a copy to the clerk of court. Upon 72 hours' notice by |
130 | the clerk, the bail agent shall produce to the court the person |
131 | on probation, community control, or other court-ordered |
132 | community supervision to the court. The bail agent shall |
133 | surrender to the sheriff the person on probation, community |
134 | control or other court-ordered community supervision upon notice |
135 | by the probation officer that the person has violated the terms |
136 | of probation, community control, or other court-ordered |
137 | community supervision. If the bail agent fails to produce the |
138 | defendant to the court at the time and place properly noticed, |
139 | the bond shall be estreated and forfeited according to the |
140 | procedures set forth in this chapter and chapter 648. The |
141 | defendant's failure to appear shall be the sole grounds for |
142 | forfeiture and estreature of the appearance bond. Where not |
143 | inconsistent with this subsection, this chapter and chapter 648 |
144 | shall regulate the relationship between the bail agent and |
145 | probationer. |
146 | Section 4. Subsection (2) of section 947.22, Florida |
147 | Statutes, is amended to read: |
148 | 947.22 Authority to arrest parole violators with or |
149 | without warrant.-- |
150 | (2) Any parole and probation officer, when she or he has |
151 | reasonable ground to believe that a parolee, control releasee, |
152 | or conditional releasee has violated the terms and conditions of |
153 | her or his parole, control release, or conditional release in a |
154 | material respect, has the right to arrest, or to request any law |
155 | enforcement officer to arrest, the releasee or parolee without |
156 | warrant and bring her or him forthwith before one or more |
157 | commissioners or a duly authorized representative of the Parole |
158 | Commission or Control Release Authority; and proceedings shall |
159 | thereupon be had as provided herein when a warrant has been |
160 | issued by a member of the commission or authority or a duly |
161 | authorized representative of the commission or authority. Upon |
162 | request, local law enforcement officers may assist the probation |
163 | officer in making a warrantless arrest of a releasee or parolee, |
164 | taking a releasee or parolee into custody, and transporting a |
165 | releasee or parolee to the county jail. |
166 | Section 5. Subsections (4) and (10) of section 948.01, |
167 | Florida Statutes, are amended, and subsection (9), paragraph (b) |
168 | of subsection (11), and paragraph (b) of subsection (13) of said |
169 | section are reenacted for the purpose of incorporating the |
170 | amendment to s. 948.06, Florida Statutes, in references thereto, |
171 | to read: |
172 | 948.01 When court may place defendant on probation or into |
173 | community control.-- |
174 | (4) The sanctions imposed by order of the court shall be |
175 | commensurate with the seriousness of the offense. When community |
176 | control or a program of public service is ordered by the court, |
177 | the duration of community control supervision or public service |
178 | may not be longer than the sentence that could have been imposed |
179 | if the offender had been committed for the offense or a period |
180 | not to exceed 2 years, whichever is less. When restitution or |
181 | public service is ordered by the court, the amount of |
182 | restitution or public service may not be greater than an amount |
183 | which the offender could reasonably be expected to pay or |
184 | perform. |
185 | (9) Procedures governing violations of community control |
186 | shall be the same as those described in s. 948.06 with respect |
187 | to probation. |
188 | (10) Unless agreed to by the state attorney as part of a |
189 | negotiated plea or sentence, an offender may not be placed on in |
190 | community control or probation if: |
191 | (a) Convicted of or has adjudication withheld for a |
192 | disqualifying forcible felony as defined in s. 776.08, and |
193 | (b) Previously convicted of or had adjudication withheld |
194 | for a disqualifying forcible felony as defined in s. 776.08. |
195 |
|
196 | Nothing in this subsection prohibits placement of certain |
197 | inmates on community control pursuant to s. 947.1747. For the |
198 | purposes of this subsection, a "disqualifying forcible felony" |
199 | means a forcible felony defined in s. 776.08, excluding burglary |
200 | under s. 810.02(4) and aggravated assault committed without a |
201 | deadly weapon under s. 784.021(1)(b) does not include |
202 | manslaughter or burglary. |
203 | (11) The court may also impose a split sentence whereby |
204 | the defendant is sentenced to a term of probation which may be |
205 | followed by a period of incarceration or, with respect to a |
206 | felony, into community control, as follows: |
207 | (b) If the offender does not meet the terms and conditions |
208 | of probation or community control, the court may revoke, modify, |
209 | or continue the probation or community control as provided in s. |
210 | 948.06. If the probation or community control is revoked, the |
211 | court may impose any sentence that it could have imposed at the |
212 | time the offender was placed on probation or community control. |
213 | The court may not provide credit for time served for any portion |
214 | of a probation or community control term toward a subsequent |
215 | term of probation or community control. However, the court may |
216 | not impose a subsequent term of probation or community control |
217 | which, when combined with any amount of time served on preceding |
218 | terms of probation or community control for offenses pending |
219 | before the court for sentencing, would exceed the maximum |
220 | penalty allowable as provided in s. 775.082. Such term of |
221 | incarceration shall be served under applicable law or county |
222 | ordinance governing service of sentences in state or county |
223 | jurisdiction. This paragraph does not prohibit any other |
224 | sanction provided by law. |
225 | (13) If it appears to the court upon a hearing that the |
226 | defendant is a chronic substance abuser whose criminal conduct |
227 | is a violation of s. 893.13(2)(a) or (6)(a), the court may |
228 | either adjudge the defendant guilty or stay and withhold the |
229 | adjudication of guilt; and, in either case, it may stay and |
230 | withhold the imposition of sentence and place the defendant on |
231 | drug offender probation. |
232 | (b) Offenders placed on drug offender probation are |
233 | subject to revocation of probation as provided in s. 948.06. |
234 | Section 6. Effective July 1, 2004, subsection (1) of |
235 | section 948.03, Florida Statutes, as amended by section 136 of |
236 | chapter 2003-402, Laws of Florida, is amended to read: |
237 | 948.03 Terms and conditions of probation or community |
238 | control.-- |
239 | (1) The court shall determine the terms and conditions of |
240 | probation or community control. Conditions specified in |
241 | paragraphs (a)-(o) (a)-(m) do not require oral pronouncement at |
242 | the time of sentencing and may be considered standard conditions |
243 | of probation. Conditions specified in paragraphs (a)-(o) (a)-(m) |
244 | and (2)(a) do not require oral pronouncement at sentencing and |
245 | may be considered standard conditions of community control. |
246 | These conditions may include among them the following, that the |
247 | probationer or offender in community control shall: |
248 | (a) Report to the probation officer and parole supervisors |
249 | as directed. The offender shall provide a full, truthful, and |
250 | complete oral or written report each month. The report must |
251 | include, but need not be limited to, the offender's employment |
252 | status, monthly earnings, and financial ability. At the |
253 | discretion of the department, the reporting requirement may |
254 | include electronic monitoring. |
255 | (b) Permit such officers supervisors to visit him or her |
256 | at his or her home or elsewhere. |
257 | (c) Work faithfully at suitable employment insofar as may |
258 | be possible. |
259 | (d) Remain within a specified place. |
260 | (e) Make reparation or restitution to the aggrieved party |
261 | for the damage or loss caused by his or her offense in an amount |
262 | to be determined by the court. The court shall make such |
263 | reparation or restitution a condition of probation, unless it |
264 | determines that clear and compelling reasons exist to the |
265 | contrary. If the court does not order restitution, or orders |
266 | restitution of only a portion of the damages, as provided in s. |
267 | 775.089, it shall state on the record in detail the reasons |
268 | therefor. |
269 | (f) Effective July 1, 1994, and applicable for offenses |
270 | committed on or after that date, make payment of the debt due |
271 | and owing to a county or municipal detention facility under s. |
272 | 951.032 for medical care, treatment, hospitalization, or |
273 | transportation received by the felony probationer while in that |
274 | detention facility. The court, in determining whether to order |
275 | such repayment and the amount of such repayment, shall consider |
276 | the amount of the debt, whether there was any fault of the |
277 | institution for the medical expenses incurred, the financial |
278 | resources of the felony probationer, the present and potential |
279 | future financial needs and earning ability of the probationer, |
280 | and dependents, and other appropriate factors. |
281 | (g) Support his or her legal dependents to the best of his |
282 | or her ability. |
283 | (h) Make payment of the debt due and owing to the state |
284 | under s. 960.17, subject to modification based on change of |
285 | circumstances. |
286 | (i) Pay any application fee assessed under s. 27.52(2)(a) |
287 | and attorney's fees and costs assessed under s. 938.29, subject |

289 | (j) Not associate with persons engaged in criminal |
290 | activities. |
291 | (k)1. Submit to random testing as directed by the |
292 | correctional probation officer or the professional staff of the |
293 | treatment center where he or she is receiving treatment to |
294 | determine the presence or use of alcohol or controlled |
295 | substances. |
296 | 2. If the offense was a controlled substance violation and |
297 | the period of probation immediately follows a period of |
298 | incarceration in the state correction system or if the offense |
299 | was a controlled substance violation and the offender has |
300 | previously served a term of imprisonment for an offense |
301 | involving a controlled substance, the conditions shall include a |
302 | requirement that the offender submit, no less than once every |
303 | calendar month, to random substance abuse testing intermittently |
304 | throughout the term of supervision, upon the direction of the |
305 | correctional probation officer as defined in s. 943.10(3). |
306 | (l) Be prohibited from possessing, carrying, or owning any |
307 | firearm unless authorized by the court and consented to by the |
308 | probation officer. |
309 | (m) Be prohibited from using intoxicants to excess or |

313 | intoxicants, drugs, or other dangerous substances are unlawfully |
314 | sold, dispensed, or used. |
315 | (n) Remain on supervision without violating the law. |
316 | (o) For an offense involving a victim, not have contact |
317 | with the victim unless authorized to do so by the court. If the |

319 | over the objection of the victim or the state attorney, the |
320 | court shall state on the record the reasons therefor. |

322 | a class of not less than 2 hours or more than 4 hours in length, |
323 | the cost for which shall be paid by the offender, if such a |

325 | (q)(o) Pay not more than $1 per month during the term of |
326 | probation or community control to a nonprofit organization |
327 | established for the sole purpose of supplementing the |
328 | rehabilitative efforts of the Department of Corrections. |
329 | Section 7. Section 948.032, Florida Statutes, is amended |
330 | to read: |
331 | 948.032 Condition of probation; restitution.--If a |
332 | defendant is placed on probation, any restitution ordered under |
333 | s. 775.089 shall be a condition of the probation. The court may |
334 | revoke probation if the defendant fails to comply with the |
335 | order. In determining whether to revoke probation, the court |
336 | shall consider the defendant's employment status, earning |
337 | ability, and financial resources; the willfulness of the |
338 | defendant's failure to pay; and any other special circumstances |
339 | that may have a bearing on the defendant's ability to pay. As |
340 | provided in s. 948.06(5), it is the responsibility of the |
341 | defendant to prove his or her inability to pay court-ordered |
342 | restitution. |
343 | Section 8. Effective July 1, 2004, and applicable to |
344 | offenses committed on or after that date, section 948.06, |
345 | Florida Statutes, is amended to read: |
346 | 948.06 Violation of probation or community control; |
347 | revocation; modification; continuance; failure to pay |
348 | restitution or cost of supervision.-- |
349 | (1)(a) Whenever within the period of probation or |
350 | community control there are reasonable grounds to believe that a |
351 | probationer or offender on in community control has violated his |
352 | or her probation or community control in a material respect, any |
353 | law enforcement officer who is aware of the probationary or |
354 | community control status of the probationer or offender in |
355 | community control or any parole or probation supervisor may |
356 | arrest or request any county or municipal law enforcement |
357 | officer to arrest such probationer or offender without warrant |
358 | wherever found and forthwith return him or her to the court |
359 | granting such probation or community control. Upon request, |
360 | local law enforcement officers may assist the probation officer |
361 | in making a warrantless arrest of a probationer or community |
362 | controllee, taking a probationer or community controllee into |
363 | custody, and transporting a probationer or community controllee |
364 | to the county jail. Any committing magistrate may issue a |
365 | warrant, upon the facts being made known to him or her by |
366 | affidavit of one having knowledge of such facts, for the arrest |
367 | of the probationer or offender, returnable forthwith before the |
368 | court granting such probation or community control. Any parole |
369 | or probation supervisor, any officer authorized to serve |
370 | criminal process, or any peace officer of this state is |
371 | authorized to serve and execute such warrant. |
372 | (b) Upon the filing of an affidavit alleging a violation |
373 | of probation or community control and following issuance of a |
374 | warrant under s. 901.02 or upon warrantless arrest, the |
375 | probationary period is tolled until the court enters a ruling on |
376 | the violation. Notwithstanding the tolling of probation as |
377 | provided in this subsection, the court shall retain jurisdiction |
378 | over the offender for any violation of the conditions of |
379 | probation or community control that is alleged to have occurred |
380 | during the tolling period. The probation officer is permitted to |
381 | continue to supervise any offender who remains available to the |
382 | officer for supervision until the supervision expires pursuant |
383 | to the order of probation or community control or until the |
384 | court revokes or terminates the probation or community control, |
385 | whichever comes first. |
386 | (2) The court, upon the probationer or offender being |
387 | brought before it, shall advise him or her of such charge of |
388 | violation. and, |
389 | (a) If such violation of probation or community control |
390 | charge is admitted to be true, the court may forthwith revoke, |
391 | modify, or continue the probation or community control or place |
392 | the probationer into a community control program. If probation |
393 | or community control is revoked, the court shall adjudge the |
394 | probationer or offender guilty of the offense charged and proven |
395 | or admitted, unless he or she has previously been adjudged |
396 | guilty, and impose any sentence which it might have originally |
397 | imposed before placing the probationer on probation or the |
398 | offender into community control. |
399 | (b) If such violation of probation or community control is |
400 | not admitted by the probationer or offender, the court may |
401 | commit him or her or release him or her with or without bail to |
402 | await further hearing, except that a defendant who is on |
403 | probation or community control for a high-risk felony, as |
404 | defined in subsection (10), must be held without bail for an |
405 | alleged violation that involves a nonmonetary condition of |
406 | supervision or it may dismiss the charge of probation or |
407 | community control violation. If such charge is not at that time |
408 | admitted by the probationer or offender and if it is not |
409 | dismissed, The court, as soon as may be practicable, shall give |
410 | the probationer or offender an opportunity to be fully heard on |
411 | his or her behalf in person or by counsel. The state shall be |
412 | represented by the state attorney at such hearing and shall be |
413 | given an opportunity to be heard and to present evidence. After |
414 | such hearing, the court may revoke, modify, or continue the |
415 | probation or community control or place the probationer into |
416 | community control. If such probation or community control is |
417 | revoked, the court shall adjudge the probationer or offender |
418 | guilty of the offense charged and proven or admitted, unless he |
419 | or she has previously been adjudged guilty, and impose any |
420 | sentence which it might have originally imposed before placing |
421 | the probationer or offender on probation or into community |
422 | control. |
423 | (c) Notwithstanding s. 775.082, when a period of probation |
424 | or community control has been tolled, upon revocation or |
425 | modification of the probation or community control, the court |
426 | may impose a sanction with a term that when combined with the |
427 | amount of supervision served and tolled, exceeds the term |
428 | permissible pursuant to s. 775.082 for a term up to the amount |
429 | of the tolled period supervision. |
430 | (d) If the court dismisses an affidavit alleging a |
431 | violation of probation or community control, the offender's |
432 | probation or community control shall continue as previously |
433 | imposed, and the offender shall receive credit for all tolled |
434 | time against his or her term of probation or community control. |
435 | (e) For any violation in which the court indicates it will |
436 | consider a downward departure sentence below the lowest |
437 | permissible sentence of the Criminal Punishment Code, the |
438 | department shall provide to the court a list of programs and |
439 | services available for the court to include in the defendant's |
440 | defendant's sentence on the violation. The list from the |
441 | department must include, but need not be limited to, evaluation |
442 | and treatment programs, residential treatment facilities, |
443 | educational or vocational training programs, substance abuse |
444 | testing, electronic monitoring, and community resources that |
445 | would assist the offender in successful completion of his or her |
446 | period of community supervision. |
447 | (3)(2)(a) When any state or local law enforcement agency |
448 | investigates or arrests a person for committing, or attempting, |
449 | soliciting, or conspiring to commit, a violation of s. 787.025, |
450 | chapter 794, s. 796.03, s. 800.04, s. 827.071, s. 847.0133, s. |
451 | 847.0135, or s. 847.0145, the law enforcement agency shall |
452 | contact the Department of Corrections to verify whether the |
453 | person under investigation or under arrest is on probation, |
454 | community control, parole, conditional release, or control |
455 | release. |
456 | (b) If the law enforcement agency finds that the person |
457 | under investigation or under arrest is on probation, community |
458 | control, parole, conditional release, or control release, the |
459 | law enforcement agency shall immediately notify the person's |
460 | probation officer or release supervisor of the investigation or |
461 | the arrest. |
462 | (4)(3) When the court imposes a subsequent term of |
463 | supervision following a revocation of probation or community |
464 | control, it shall not provide credit for time served while on |
465 | probation or community control toward any subsequent term of |
466 | probation or community control. However, the court may not |
467 | impose a subsequent term of probation or community control |
468 | which, when combined with any amount of time served on preceding |
469 | terms of probation or community control for offenses before the |
470 | court for sentencing, would exceed the maximum penalty allowable |
471 | as provided by s. 775.082. No part of the time that the |
472 | defendant is on probation or in community control shall be |
473 | considered as any part of the time that he or she shall be |
474 | sentenced to serve. |
475 | (5)(4) Notwithstanding any other provision of this |
476 | section, a probationer or an offender in community control who |
477 | is arrested for violating his or her probation or community |
478 | control in a material respect may be taken before the court in |
479 | the county or circuit in which the probationer or offender was |
480 | arrested. That court shall advise him or her of such charge of a |
481 | violation and, if such charge is admitted, shall cause him or |
482 | her to be brought before the court which granted the probation |
483 | or community control. |
484 | (a) If such violation is not admitted by the probationer |
485 | or offender, the court may commit him or her or release him or |
486 | her with or without bail to await further hearing. The court, as |
487 | soon as is practicable, shall give the probationer or offender |
488 | an opportunity to be fully heard on his or her behalf in person |
489 | or by counsel. |
490 | (b) After such hearing, the court shall make findings of |
491 | fact and forward the findings to the court which granted the |
492 | probation or community control and to the probationer or |
493 | offender or his or her attorney. The findings of fact by the |
494 | hearing court are binding on the court which granted the |
495 | probation or community control. Upon the probationer or offender |
496 | being brought before it, the court which granted the probation |
497 | or community control may revoke, modify, or continue the |
498 | probation or community control or may place the probationer into |
499 | community control as provided in this section. |
500 | (6)(5) Whenever the department submits a violation report |
501 | to the court involving allegations of failure to pay court- |
502 | ordered obligations, the department shall include a statement by |
503 | the probationer or offender on community control concerning his |
504 | or her ability to pay such obligations. In any hearing in which |
505 | the failure of a probationer or offender in community control to |
506 | pay restitution or the cost of supervision as provided in s. |
507 | 948.09, as directed, is established by the state, if the |
508 | probationer or offender asserts his or her inability to pay |
509 | restitution or the cost of supervision, it is incumbent upon the |
510 | probationer or offender to prove by clear and convincing |
511 | evidence that he or she does not have the present resources |
512 | available to pay restitution or the cost of supervision despite |
513 | sufficient bona fide efforts legally to acquire the resources to |
514 | do so. If the probationer or offender cannot pay restitution or |
515 | the cost of supervision despite sufficient bona fide efforts, |
516 | the court shall consider alternate measures of punishment other |
517 | than imprisonment. Only if alternate measures are not adequate |
518 | to meet the state's interests in punishment and deterrence may |
519 | the court imprison a probationer or offender in community |
520 | control who has demonstrated sufficient bona fide efforts to pay |
521 | restitution or the cost of supervision. |
522 | (7)(6) Any parolee in a community control program who has |
523 | allegedly violated the terms and conditions of such placement is |
524 | subject to the provisions of ss. 947.22 and 947.23. |
525 | (8)(7) Any provision of law to the contrary |
526 | notwithstanding, whenever probation, community control, or |
527 | control release, including the probationary, community control |
528 | portion of a split sentence, is violated and the probation or |
529 | community control is revoked, the offender, by reason of his or |
530 | her misconduct, shall be deemed to have forfeited all gain-time |
531 | or commutation of time for good conduct, as provided by law, |
532 | earned up to the date of his or her release on probation, |
533 | community control, or control release. This subsection does not |
534 | deprive the prisoner of his or her right to gain-time or |
535 | commutation of time for good conduct, as provided by law, from |
536 | the date on which the prisoner is returned to prison. However, |
537 | if a prisoner is sentenced to incarceration following |
538 | termination from a drug punishment program imposed as a |
539 | condition of probation, the sentence may include incarceration |
540 | without the possibility of gain-time or early release for the |
541 | period of time remaining in his or her treatment program |
542 | placement term. |
543 | (9)(a) The court shall conduct a danger to the community |
544 | hearing as provided in paragraph (b) to determine whether the |
545 | defendant poses a risk of physical harm to persons if: |
546 | 1. The defendant is on probation or community control for |
547 | a high-risk felony; or |
548 | 2. The defendant is on probation or community control for |
549 | any felony and has been adjudged to be in violation of |
550 | nonmonetary conditions of probation or community control for the |
551 | current felony and has been previously convicted of, or had |
552 | adjudication of guilt withheld for, a high-risk felony, a |
553 | forcible felony as defined in s. 776.08, or any violation of s. |
554 | 800.04. |
555 | (b) In a danger to the community hearing, the court may |
556 | conclude that a defendant poses a risk of physical harm to |
557 | persons based on factors, including, but not limited to: |
558 | 1. The defendant's sentence for the felony included court- |
559 | ordered treatment for abuse of illegal controlled substances and |
560 | the present violation was committed for the purpose of acquiring |
561 | controlled substances. |
562 | 2. The defendant has two prior nonmonetary violations of |
563 | the current supervision and has: |
564 | a. Committed a new felony offense, excluding felony |
565 | violations of chapters 815, 817, 818, 823, 831, 832, 837, 838, |
566 | 839, 849, and 896; or |
567 | b. Committed a new misdemeanor offense involving the use |
568 | or threatened use of force or violence. |
569 | 3. The defendant has three prior nonmonetary violations of |
570 | the current supervision. |
571 | 4. The defendant is in violation of a condition of |
572 | supervision involving contacting a victim against the victim's |
573 | will or involving contacting a minor in violation of s. |
574 | 948.03(5), if the felony was committed against a minor. |
575 |
|
576 | At the conclusion of the danger to the community hearing, the |
577 | court shall state its finding as to whether the defendant poses |
578 | a risk of physical harm to persons. A finding that the defendant |
579 | poses a risk of physical harm to persons must be established by |
580 | a preponderance of the evidence. If the court finds that the |
581 | defendant does not pose a risk of physical harm to persons, the |
582 | court shall state its reasons for such finding on the record. |
583 | (10) For purposes of this chapter, the term "high-risk |
584 | felony" means lewd or lascivious battery as defined in s. |
585 | 800.04, an act of terrorism as defined in s. 775.30, or any |
586 | forcible felony defined in s. 776.08, excluding burglary under |
587 | s. 810.02(4) and aggravated assault committed without a deadly |
588 | weapon under s. 784.021(1)(b). |
589 | (11) The state attorney shall represent the state in all |
590 | hearings described in this chapter regarding persons on |
591 | probation or community control. The state shall be given the |
592 | opportunity to be heard and to present evidence to establish the |
593 | defendant's violation and the facts or circumstances which |
594 | support a finding that a defendant poses a threat of physical |
595 | harm to persons. |

612 | and whether supervision practices were followed. |
613 | Section 10. Subsection (2) of section 948.09, Florida |
614 | Statutes, is amended to read: |

619 | be required to pay as a surcharge an amount that may not exceed |
620 | the full cost of the monitoring service in addition to the cost |
621 | of supervision fee as directed by the sentencing court. The |
622 | department is authorized to contract with a private entity to |
623 | provide the services necessary to implement or to facilitate any |
624 | provision of this chapter. The department is authorized to |
625 | contract with a private entity for the collection and |
626 | disposition of the surcharge. Such contract may allow for |
627 | reasonable costs to the contractor associated with the |
628 | collection of the surcharge. The surcharge may shall be |
629 | deposited in the Operating Trust Fund to be used by the |
630 | department for purchasing and maintaining electronic monitoring |
631 | devices. |

696 | Department of Corrections to compute and apply credit for all |
697 | other time served previously on the prior sentence for the |
698 | offense for which the offender is being recommitted. This |

816 | determining whether or not the charges of parole violation have |
