245treatment provider for substance abuse treatment, in addition to
246any sentence or fine imposed under this section, completion of
247all such education, evaluation, and treatment is a condition of
248reporting probation. The offender shall assume reasonable costs
249for such education, evaluation, and treatment. The referral to
250treatment resulting from a psychosocial evaluation shall not be
251waived without a supporting independent psychosocial evaluation
252conducted by an authorized substance abuse treatment provider
253appointed by the court, which shall have access to the DUI
254program's psychosocial evaluation before the independent

257determining the request for waiver. The offender shall bear the
258full cost of this procedure. The term "substance abuse" means
259the abuse of alcohol or any substance named or described in

263abuse education course and evaluation, the DUI program shall
264notify the court and the department of the failure. Upon receipt
265of the notice, the department shall cancel the offender's
266driving privilege, notwithstanding the terms of the court order
267or any suspension or revocation of the driving privilege. The
268department may temporarily reinstate the driving privilege on a
269restricted basis upon verification from the DUI program that the
270offender is currently participating in treatment and the DUI
271education course and evaluation requirement has been completed.
272If the DUI program notifies the department of the second failure
273to complete treatment, the department shall reinstate the
274driving privilege only after notice of completion of treatment
275from the DUI program. The organization that conducts the
276substance abuse education and evaluation may not provide
277required substance abuse treatment unless a waiver has been
278granted to that organization by the department. A waiver may be
279granted only if the department determines, in accordance with
280its rules, that the service provider that conducts the substance
281abuse education and evaluation is the most appropriate service
282provider and is licensed under chapter 397 or is exempt from
283such licensure. A statistical referral report shall be submitted
284quarterly to the department by each organization authorized to
285provide services under this section.
286     (6)  With respect to any person convicted of a violation of
287subsection (1), regardless of any penalty imposed pursuant to
288subsection (2), subsection (3), or subsection (4):
289     (a)  For the first conviction, the court shall place the

294defendant pay an additional fine of $10 for each hour of public
295service or community work otherwise required, if, after
296consideration of the residence or location of the defendant at
297the time public service or community work is required, payment
298of the fine is in the best interests of the state. However, the
299total period of probation and incarceration may not exceed 1
300year. The court must also, as a condition of probation, order
301the impoundment or immobilization of the vehicle that was
302operated by or in the actual control of the defendant or any one
303vehicle registered in the defendant's name at the time of

305the unexpired term of any lease or rental agreement that expires
306within 10 days. The impoundment or immobilization must not occur
307concurrently with the incarceration of the defendant. The

320not occur concurrently with the incarceration of the defendant
321and must occur concurrently with the driver's license revocation
322imposed under s. 322.28(2)(a)2. The impoundment or
323immobilization order may be dismissed in accordance with
324paragraph (e), paragraph (f), paragraph (g), or paragraph (h).
325At least 48 hours of confinement must be consecutive.
326     (c)  For the third or subsequent conviction for an offense
327that occurs within a period of 10 years after the date of a
328prior conviction for violation of this section, the court shall
329order imprisonment for not less than 30 days. The court must
330also, as a condition of probation, order the impoundment or
331immobilization of all vehicles owned by the defendant at the
332time of impoundment or immobilization, for a period of 90 days
333or for the unexpired term of any lease or rental agreement that

335not occur concurrently with the incarceration of the defendant
336and must occur concurrently with the driver's license revocation
337imposed under s. 322.28(2)(a)3. The impoundment or
338immobilization order may be dismissed in accordance with
339paragraph (e), paragraph (f), paragraph (g), or paragraph (h).
340At least 48 hours of confinement must be consecutive.
341     (d)  The court must at the time of sentencing the defendant
342issue an order for the impoundment or immobilization of a
343vehicle. Within 7 business days after the date that the court
344issues the order of impoundment or immobilization, the clerk of
345the court must send notice by certified mail, return receipt
346requested, to the registered owner of each vehicle, if the
347registered owner is a person other than the defendant, and to
348each person of record claiming a lien against the vehicle.
349     (e)  A person who owns but was not operating the vehicle
350when the offense occurred may submit to the court a police
351report indicating that the vehicle was stolen at the time of the
352offense or documentation of having purchased the vehicle after
353the offense was committed from an entity other than the
354defendant or the defendant's agent. If the court finds that the
355vehicle was stolen or that the sale was not made to circumvent
356the order and allow the defendant continued access to the
357vehicle, the order must be dismissed and the owner of the
358vehicle will incur no costs. If the court denies the request to
359dismiss the order of impoundment or immobilization, the
360petitioner may request an evidentiary hearing.
361     (f)  A person who owns but was not operating the vehicle
362when the offense occurred, and whose vehicle was stolen or who
363purchased the vehicle after the offense was committed directly
364from the defendant or the defendant's agent, may request an
365evidentiary hearing to determine whether the impoundment or
366immobilization should occur. If the court finds that either the
367vehicle was stolen or the purchase was made without knowledge of
368the offense, that the purchaser had no relationship to the
369defendant other than through the transaction, and that such
370purchase would not circumvent the order and allow the defendant
371continued access to the vehicle, the order must be dismissed and
372the owner of the vehicle will incur no costs.
373     (g)  The court shall also dismiss the order of impoundment
374or immobilization of the vehicle if the court finds that the
375family of the owner of the vehicle has no other private or
376public means of transportation.
377     (h)  The court may also dismiss the order of impoundment or
378immobilization of any vehicles that are owned by the defendant
379but that are operated solely by the employees of the defendant
380or any business owned by the defendant.
381     (i)  All costs and fees for the impoundment or
382immobilization, including the cost of notification, must be paid
383by the owner of the vehicle or, if the vehicle is leased or
384rented, by the person leasing or renting the vehicle, unless the
385impoundment or immobilization order is dismissed. All provisions
386of s. 713.78 shall apply.
387     (j)  The person who owns a vehicle that is impounded or
388immobilized under this paragraph, or a person who has a lien of
389record against such a vehicle and who has not requested a review
390of the impoundment pursuant to paragraph (e), paragraph (f), or
391paragraph (g), may, within 10 days after the date that person
392has knowledge of the location of the vehicle, file a complaint
393in the county in which the owner resides to determine whether
394the vehicle was wrongfully taken or withheld from the owner or
395lienholder. Upon the filing of a complaint, the owner or
396lienholder may have the vehicle released by posting with the
397court a bond or other adequate security equal to the amount of
398the costs and fees for impoundment or immobilization, including
399towing or storage, to ensure the payment of such costs and fees
400if the owner or lienholder does not prevail. When the bond is
401posted and the fee is paid as set forth in s. 28.24, the clerk
402of the court shall issue a certificate releasing the vehicle. At
403the time of release, after reasonable inspection, the owner or
404lienholder must give a receipt to the towing or storage company
405indicating any loss or damage to the vehicle or to the contents
406of the vehicle.
407     (k)  A defendant, in the court's discretion, may be
408required to serve all or any portion of a term of imprisonment
409to which the defendant has been sentenced pursuant to this
410section in a residential alcoholism treatment program or a
411residential drug abuse treatment program. Any time spent in such
412a program must be credited by the court toward the term of
413imprisonment.

947department then determines that the person was arrested for a
948violation of s. 316.193 and that the person had a blood-alcohol
949level or breath-alcohol level of 0.08 or higher, the department
950shall suspend the person's driver's license pursuant to

967     2.  The suspension period shall commence on the date of
968arrest or issuance of the notice of suspension, whichever is
969later.

976or issuance of the notice of suspension, whichever is later.
977     5.  The driver may submit to the department any materials

988and that the person arrested refused to submit; a copy of the
989citation issued to the person arrested; and the officer's
990description of the person's field sobriety test, if any. The

994submitted at or prior to the hearing. The officer may also
995submit a copy of a videotape of the field sobriety test or the
996attempt to administer such test.
997     (7)  In a formal review hearing under subsection (6) or an
998informal review hearing under subsection (4), the hearing

1017probable cause to believe that the person was driving or in
1018actual physical control of a motor vehicle in this state while
1019under the influence of alcoholic beverages or controlled
1020substances.

1027to submit to such test his or her privilege to operate a motor
1028vehicle would be suspended for a period of 1 year or, in the
1029case of a second or subsequent refusal, for a period of 18
1030months.
1031     (8)  Based on the determination of the hearing officer
1032pursuant to subsection (7) for both informal hearings under
1033subsection (4) and formal hearings under subsection (6), the
1034department shall:
1035     (b)  Sustain the suspension of the person's driving
1036privilege for a period of 6 months for a violation of s.
1037316.193, or for a period of 1 year if the driving privilege of
1038such person has been previously suspended as a result of a
1039violation of s. 316.193. The suspension period commences on the
1040date of the arrest or issuance of the notice of suspension,
1041whichever is later.
1042     (10)  A person whose driver's license is suspended under
1043subsection (1) or subsection (3) may apply for issuance of a
1044license for business or employment purposes only if the person
1045is otherwise eligible for the driving privilege pursuant to s.
1046322.271.
1047     (b)  If the suspension of the driver's license of the
1048person arrested for a violation of s. 316.193, relating to
1049unlawful blood-alcohol level, is sustained, the person is not
1050eligible to receive a license for business or employment
1051purposes only pursuant to s. 322.271 until 30 days have elapsed
1052after the expiration of the last temporary permit issued. If the
1053driver is not issued a 10-day permit pursuant to this section or
1054s. 322.64 because he or she is ineligible for the permit and the
1055suspension for a violation of s. 316.193, relating to unlawful
1056blood-alcohol level, is not invalidated by the department, the
1057driver is not eligible to receive a business or employment
1058license pursuant to s. 322.271 until 30 days have elapsed from
1059the date of the arrest.
1060     (14)  The decision of the department under this section
1061shall not be considered in any trial for a violation of s.
1062316.193, nor shall any written statement submitted by a person
1063in his or her request for departmental review under this section
1064be admissible into evidence against him or her in any such
1065trial. The disposition of any related criminal proceedings shall
1066not affect a suspension imposed pursuant to this section.
1067     Section 23.  For the purpose of incorporating the amendment
1068to section 316.193, Florida Statutes, in references thereto,
1069paragraph (a) of subsection (1) and subsections (15) and (19) of
1070section 322.2616, Florida Statutes, are reenacted to read:
1071     322.2616  Suspension of license; persons under 21 years of
1072age; right to review.--
1073     (1)(a)  Notwithstanding s. 316.193, it is unlawful for a
1074person under the age of 21 who has a blood-alcohol or breath-
1075alcohol level of 0.02 or higher to drive or be in actual
1076physical control of a motor vehicle.
1077     (15)  The decision of the department under this section
1078shall not be considered in any trial for a violation of s.
1079316.193, nor shall any written statement submitted by a person
1080in his or her request for departmental review under this section
1081be admissible into evidence against him or her in any such
1082trial. The disposition of any related criminal proceedings shall
1083not affect a suspension imposed under this section.
1084     (19)  A violation of this section is neither a traffic
1085infraction nor a criminal offense, nor does being detained
1086pursuant to this section constitute an arrest. A violation of
1087this section is subject to the administrative action provisions
1088of this section, which are administered by the department
1089through its administrative processes. Administrative actions
1090taken pursuant to this section shall be recorded in the motor
1091vehicle records maintained by the department. This section does
1092not bar prosecution under s. 316.193. However, if the department
1093suspends a person's license under s. 322.2615 for a violation of
1094s. 316.193, it may not also suspend the person's license under
1095this section for the same episode that was the basis for the
1096suspension under s. 322.2615.
1097     Section 24.  For the purpose of incorporating the amendment
1098to section 316.193, Florida Statutes, in a reference thereto,
1099paragraph (b) of subsection (1) of section 322.264, Florida
1100Statutes, is reenacted to read:
1101     322.264  "Habitual traffic offender" defined.--A "habitual
1102traffic offender" is any person whose record, as maintained by
1103the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, shows that
1104such person has accumulated the specified number of convictions
1105for offenses described in subsection (1) or subsection (2)
1106within a 5-year period:
1107     (1)  Three or more convictions of any one or more of the
1108following offenses arising out of separate acts:
1109     (b)  Any violation of s. 316.193, former s. 316.1931, or
1110former s. 860.01;
1111
1112Any violation of any federal law, any law of another state or
1113country, or any valid ordinance of a municipality or county of
1114another state similar to a statutory prohibition specified in
1115subsection (1) or subsection (2) shall be counted as a violation
1116of such prohibition. In computing the number of convictions, all
1117convictions during the 5 years previous to July 1, 1972, will be
1118used, provided at least one conviction occurs after that date.
1119The fact that previous convictions may have resulted in
1120suspension, revocation, or disqualification under another
1121section does not exempt them from being used for suspension or
1122revocation under this section as a habitual offender.
1123     Section 25.  For the purpose of incorporating the amendment
1124to section 316.193, Florida Statutes, in references thereto,
1125paragraphs (a) and (c) of subsection (2) and subsection (4) of
1126section 322.271, Florida Statutes, are reenacted to read:
1127     322.271  Authority to modify revocation, cancellation, or
1128suspension order.--
1129     (2)(a)  Upon such hearing, the person whose license has
1130been suspended, canceled, or revoked may show that such
1131suspension, cancellation, or revocation of his or her license
1132causes a serious hardship and precludes the person's carrying
1133out his or her normal business occupation, trade, or employment
1134and that the use of the person's license in the normal course of
1135his or her business is necessary to the proper support of the
1136person or his or her family. Except as otherwise provided in
1137this subsection, the department shall require proof of the
1138successful completion of the applicable department-approved
1139driver training course operating pursuant to s. 318.1451 or DUI
1140program substance abuse education course and evaluation as
1141provided in s. 316.193(5). Letters of recommendation from
1142respected business persons in the community, law enforcement
1143officers, or judicial officers may also be required to determine
1144whether such person should be permitted to operate a motor
1145vehicle on a restricted basis for business or employment use
1146only and in determining whether such person can be trusted to so
1147operate a motor vehicle. If a driver's license has been
1148suspended under the point system or pursuant to s. 322.2615, the
1149department shall require proof of enrollment in the applicable
1150department-approved driver training course or licensed DUI
1151program substance abuse education course, including evaluation
1152and treatment, if referred, and may require letters of
1153recommendation described in this subsection to determine if the
1154driver should be reinstated on a restricted basis. If such
1155person fails to complete the approved course within 90 days
1156after reinstatement or subsequently fails to complete treatment,
1157if applicable, the department shall cancel his or her driver's
1158license until the course and treatment, if applicable, is
1159successfully completed, notwithstanding the terms of the court
1160order or any suspension or revocation of the driving privilege.
1161The department may temporarily reinstate the driving privilege
1162on a restricted basis upon verification from the DUI program
1163that the offender has reentered and is currently participating
1164in treatment and has completed the DUI education course and
1165evaluation requirement. If the DUI program notifies the
1166department of the second failure to complete treatment, the
1167department shall reinstate the driving privilege only after
1168notice of completion of treatment from the DUI program. The
1169privilege of driving on a limited or restricted basis for
1170business or employment use shall not be granted to a person who
1171has been convicted of a violation of s. 316.193 until completion
1172of the DUI program substance abuse education course and
1173evaluations as provided in s. 316.193(5). Except as provided in
1174paragraph (b), the privilege of driving on a limited or
1175restricted basis for business or employment use shall not be
1176granted to a person whose license is revoked pursuant to s.
1177322.28 or suspended pursuant to s. 322.2615 and who has been
1178convicted of a violation of s. 316.193 two or more times or

1180to submit to a test pursuant to s. 322.2615 or former s.
1181322.261.
1182     (c)  For the purpose of this section, a previous conviction
1183of driving under the influence, driving while intoxicated,
1184driving with an unlawful blood-alcohol level, or any other
1185similar alcohol-related or drug-related offense outside this
1186state or a previous conviction of former s. 316.1931, former s.
1187316.028, or former s. 860.01 shall be considered a previous
1188conviction for violation of s. 316.193.
1189     (4)  Notwithstanding the provisions of s. 322.28(2)(e), a
1190person whose driving privilege has been permanently revoked
1191because he or she has been convicted of DUI manslaughter in
1192violation of s. 316.193 and has no prior convictions for DUI-
1193related offenses may, upon the expiration of 5 years after the
1194date of such revocation or the expiration of 5 years after the

1212reinstate the driver's license of the petitioner. Such
1213reinstatement must be made subject to the following
1214qualifications:
1215     1.  The license must be restricted for employment purposes
1216for not less than 1 year; and
1217     2.  Such person must be supervised by a DUI program
1218licensed by the department and report to the program for such
1219supervision and education at least four times a year or

1223required by the department.
1224     (c)  Such person must assume the reasonable costs of
1225supervision. If such person fails to comply with the required
1226supervision, the program shall report the failure to the
1227department, and the department shall cancel such person's
1228driving privilege.
1229     (d)  If, after reinstatement, such person is convicted of
1230an offense for which mandatory revocation of his or her license
1231is required, the department shall revoke his or her driving
1232privilege.
1233     (e)  The department shall adopt rules regulating the
1234providing of services by DUI programs pursuant to this section.

1251     2.  Upon a second conviction for an offense that occurs
1252within a period of 5 years after the date of a prior conviction
1253for a violation of the provisions of s. 316.193 or former s.
1254316.1931 or a combination of such sections, the driver's license
1255or driving privilege shall be revoked for not less than 5 years.

1263For the purposes of this paragraph, a previous conviction
1264outside this state for driving under the influence, driving
1265while intoxicated, driving with an unlawful blood-alcohol level,
1266or any other alcohol-related or drug-related traffic offense
1267similar to the offense of driving under the influence as
1268proscribed by s. 316.193 will be considered a previous
1269conviction for violation of s. 316.193, and a conviction for
1270violation of former s. 316.028, former s. 316.1931, or former s.
1271860.01 is considered a conviction for violation of s. 316.193.
1272     (b)  If the period of revocation was not specified by the
1273court at the time of imposing sentence or within 30 days
1274thereafter, and is not otherwise specified by law, the
1275department shall forthwith revoke the driver's license or
1276driving privilege for the maximum period applicable under
1277paragraph (a) for a first conviction and for the minimum period
1278applicable under paragraph (a) for any subsequent convictions.
1279The driver may, within 30 days after such revocation by the
1280department, petition the court for further hearing on the period
1281of revocation, and the court may reopen the case and determine
1282the period of revocation within the limits specified in
1283paragraph (a).
1284     (c)  The forfeiture of bail bond, not vacated within 20
1285days, in any prosecution for the offense of driving while under
1286the influence of alcoholic beverages, chemical substances, or
1287controlled substances to the extent of depriving the defendant
1288of his or her normal faculties shall be deemed equivalent to a
1289conviction for the purposes of this paragraph, and the
1290department shall forthwith revoke the defendant's driver's
1291license or driving privilege for the maximum period applicable
1292under paragraph (a) for a first conviction and for the minimum
1293period applicable under paragraph (a) for a second or subsequent
1294conviction; however, if the defendant is later convicted of the
1295charge, the period of revocation imposed by the department for
1296such conviction shall not exceed the difference between the
1297applicable maximum for a first conviction or minimum for a
1298second or subsequent conviction and the revocation period under
1299this subsection that has actually elapsed; upon conviction of
1300such charge, the court may impose revocation for a period of
1301time as specified in paragraph (a). This paragraph does not
1302apply if an appropriate motion contesting the forfeiture is
1303filed within the 20-day period.

1305been revoked pursuant to the provisions of this section, the

1307reexamination of the licensee after the expiration of the period
1308of revocation so prescribed. However, the court may, in its
1309sound discretion, issue an order of reinstatement on a form
1310furnished by the department which the person may take to any
1311driver's license examining office for reinstatement by the
1312department pursuant to s. 322.282.
1313     (e)  The court shall permanently revoke the driver's
1314license or driving privilege of a person who has been convicted
1315four times for violation of s. 316.193 or former s. 316.1931 or

1317revoke the driver's license or driving privilege of any person
1318who has been convicted of DUI manslaughter in violation of s.
1319316.193. If the court has not permanently revoked such driver's
1320license or driving privilege within 30 days after imposing
1321sentence, the department shall permanently revoke the driver's
1322license or driving privilege pursuant to this paragraph. No
1323driver's license or driving privilege may be issued or granted
1324to any such person. This paragraph applies only if at least one
1325of the convictions for violation of s. 316.193 or former s.
1326316.1931 was for a violation that occurred after July 1, 1982.
1327For the purposes of this paragraph, a conviction for violation
1328of former s. 316.028, former s. 316.1931, or former s. 860.01 is
1329also considered a conviction for violation of s. 316.193. Also,
1330a conviction of driving under the influence, driving while
1331intoxicated, driving with an unlawful blood-alcohol level, or
1332any other similar alcohol-related or drug-related traffic
1333offense outside this state is considered a conviction for the
1334purposes of this paragraph.

1342in its discretion, orders reinstatement as provided by s.
1343322.28(2)(d) or former s. 322.261(5):
1344     (2)(a)  The court shall issue an order of reinstatement, on

1349of a department-approved driver training or substance abuse
1350education course, and a written request for a hearing under s.
1351322.271. The permit shall not be issued if a record check by the
1352department shows that the person has previously been convicted
1353for a violation of s. 316.193, former s. 316.1931, former s.
1354316.028, former s. 860.01, or a previous conviction outside this

1363privilege that is presently suspended for driving with an
1364unlawful blood-alcohol level or a refusal to submit to a breath,
1365urine, or blood test and is also revoked for a conviction for a

1367and revocation arise out of the same incident.

1794actual control of the defendant or any one vehicle registered in
1795the defendant's name at the time of impoundment or
1796immobilization, for a period of 30 days or for the unexpired
1797term of any lease or rental agreement that expires within 30

1803     (c)  For the third or subsequent conviction for an offense
1804that occurs within a period of 10 years after the date of a
1805prior conviction for violation of this section, the court shall
1806order imprisonment for not less than 30 days. The court must
1807also, as a condition of probation, order the impoundment or
1808immobilization of the vessel that was operated by or in the
1809actual control of the defendant or any one vehicle registered in
1810the defendant's name at the time of impoundment or
1811immobilization, for a period of 90 days or for the unexpired
1812term of any lease or rental agreement that expires within 90

1814concurrently with the incarceration of the defendant. The
1815impoundment or immobilization order may be dismissed in
1816accordance with paragraph (e) or paragraph (f). At least 48
1817hours of confinement must be consecutive.
1818     (d)  The court must at the time of sentencing the defendant
1819issue an order for the impoundment or immobilization of a
1820vessel. Within 7 business days after the date that the court
1821issues the order of impoundment, and once again 30 business days
1822before the actual impoundment or immobilization of the vessel,
1823the clerk of the court must send notice by certified mail,
1824return receipt requested, to the registered owner of each
1825vessel, if the registered owner is a person other than the
1826defendant, and to each person of record claiming a lien against
1827the vessel.
1828     (e)  A person who owns but was not operating the vessel
1829when the offense occurred may submit to the court a police
1830report indicating that the vessel was stolen at the time of the
1831offense or documentation of having purchased the vessel after
1832the offense was committed from an entity other than the
1833defendant or the defendant's agent. If the court finds that the
1834vessel was stolen or that the sale was not made to circumvent
1835the order and allow the defendant continued access to the
1836vessel, the order must be dismissed and the owner of the vessel
1837will incur no costs. If the court denies the request to dismiss
1838the order of impoundment or immobilization, the petitioner may
1839request an evidentiary hearing.
1840     (f)  A person who owns but was not operating the vessel
1841when the offense occurred, and whose vessel was stolen or who
1842purchased the vessel after the offense was committed directly
1843from the defendant or the defendant's agent, may request an
1844evidentiary hearing to determine whether the impoundment or
1845immobilization should occur. If the court finds that either the
1846vessel was stolen or the purchase was made without knowledge of
1847the offense, that the purchaser had no relationship to the
1848defendant other than through the transaction, and that such
1849purchase would not circumvent the order and allow the defendant
1850continued access to the vessel, the order must be dismissed and
1851the owner of the vessel will incur no costs.
1852     (g)  All costs and fees for the impoundment or
1853immobilization, including the cost of notification, must be paid
1854by the owner of the vessel or, if the vessel is leased or
1855rented, by the person leasing or renting the vessel, unless the
1856impoundment or immobilization order is dismissed.
1857     (h)  The person who owns a vessel that is impounded or
1858immobilized under this paragraph, or a person who has a lien of
1859record against such a vessel and who has not requested a review
1860of the impoundment pursuant to paragraph (e) or paragraph (f),
1861may, within 10 days after the date that person has knowledge of
1862the location of the vessel, file a complaint in the county in
1863which the owner resides to determine whether the vessel was
1864wrongfully taken or withheld from the owner or lienholder. Upon
1865the filing of a complaint, the owner or lienholder may have the
1866vessel released by posting with the court a bond or other
1867adequate security equal to the amount of the costs and fees for
1868impoundment or immobilization, including towing or storage, to
1869ensure the payment of the costs and fees if the owner or
1870lienholder does not prevail. When the bond is posted and the fee
1871is paid as set forth in s. 28.24, the clerk of the court shall
1872issue a certificate releasing the vessel. At the time of
1873release, after reasonable inspection, the owner or lienholder
1874must give a receipt to the towing or storage company indicating
1875any loss or damage to the vessel or to the contents of the
1876vessel.
1877     (i)  A defendant, in the court's discretion, may be
1878required to serve all or any portion of a term of imprisonment
1879to which the defendant has been sentenced pursuant to this
1880section in a residential alcoholism treatment program or a
1881residential drug abuse treatment program. Any time spent in such
1882a program must be credited by the court toward the term of
1883imprisonment.
1884
1885For the purposes of this section, any conviction for a violation
1886of s. 316.193, a previous conviction for the violation of former

1922     Section 37.  For the purpose of incorporating the amendment
1923to section 316.193, Florida Statutes, in a reference thereto,
1924paragraph (c) of subsection (17) of section 440.02, Florida
1925Statutes, is reenacted to read:
1926     440.02  Definitions.--When used in this chapter, unless the
1927context clearly requires otherwise, the following terms shall
1928have the following meanings:
1929     (17)
1930     (c)  "Employment" does not include service performed by or
1931as:
1932     1.  Domestic servants in private homes.
1933     2.  Agricultural labor performed on a farm in the employ of
1934a bona fide farmer, or association of farmers, that employs 5 or
1935fewer regular employees and that employs fewer than 12 other
1936employees at one time for seasonal agricultural labor that is
1937completed in less than 30 days, provided such seasonal
1938employment does not exceed 45 days in the same calendar year.
1939The term "farm" includes stock, dairy, poultry, fruit, fur-
1940bearing animals, fish, and truck farms, ranches, nurseries, and
1941orchards. The term "agricultural labor" includes field foremen,
1942timekeepers, checkers, and other farm labor supervisory
1943personnel.

1945wrestlers, baseball, football, basketball, hockey, polo, tennis,
1946jai alai, and similar players, and motorsports teams competing
1947in a motor racing event as defined in s. 549.08.
1948     4.  Labor under a sentence of a court to perform community
1949services as provided in s. 316.193.
1950     5.  State prisoners or county inmates, except those
1951performing services for private employers or those enumerated in
1952s. 948.03(8)(a).
1953     Section 38.  For the purpose of incorporating the amendment
1954to section 316.193, Florida Statutes, in a reference thereto,
1955paragraph (b) of subsection (7) of section 440.09, Florida
1956Statutes, is reenacted to read:
1957     440.09  Coverage.--
1958     (7)
1959     (b)  If the employee has, at the time of the injury, a
1960blood alcohol level equal to or greater than the level specified
1961in s. 316.193, or if the employee has a positive confirmation of
1962a drug as defined in this act, it is presumed that the injury
1963was occasioned primarily by the intoxication of, or by the
1964influence of the drug upon, the employee. If the employer has
1965implemented a drug-free workplace, this presumption may be
1966rebutted only by evidence that there is no reasonable hypothesis
1967that the intoxication or drug influence contributed to the
1968injury. In the absence of a drug-free workplace program, this
1969presumption may be rebutted by clear and convincing evidence
1970that the intoxication or influence of the drug did not
1971contribute to the injury. Percent by weight of alcohol in the
1972blood must be based upon grams of alcohol per 100 milliliters of
1973blood. If the results are positive, the testing facility must
1974maintain the specimen for a minimum of 90 days. Blood serum may
1975be used for testing purposes under this chapter; however, if
1976this test is used, the presumptions under this section do not
1977arise unless the blood alcohol level is proved to be medically
1978and scientifically equivalent to or greater than the comparable
1979blood alcohol level that would have been obtained if the test
1980were based on percent by weight of alcohol in the blood.
1981However, if, before the accident, the employer had actual
1982knowledge of and expressly acquiesced in the employee's presence
1983at the workplace while under the influence of such alcohol or
1984drug, the presumptions specified in this subsection do not
1985apply.
1986     Section 39.  For the purpose of incorporating the amendment
1987to section 316.193, Florida Statutes, in a reference thereto,
1988paragraph (d) of subsection (1) of section 493.6106, Florida
1989Statutes, is reenacted to read:

2088defined by s. 316.193, and that there is a substantial
2089probability that the defendant committed the crime and that the
2090defendant poses a threat of harm to the community; conditions
2091that would support a finding by the court pursuant to this
2092subparagraph that the defendant poses a threat of harm to the
2093community include, but are not limited to, any of the following:
2094     a.  The defendant has previously been convicted of any
2095crime under s. 316.193, or of any crime in any other state or
2096territory of the United States that is substantially similar to
2097any crime under s. 316.193;
2098     b.  The defendant was driving with a suspended driver's
2099license when the charged crime was committed; or
2100     c.  The defendant has previously been found guilty of, or
2101has had adjudication of guilt withheld for, driving while the
2102defendant's driver's license was suspended or revoked in
2103violation of s. 322.34;
2104     5.  The defendant poses the threat of harm to the
2105community. The court may so conclude, if it finds that the
2106defendant is presently charged with a dangerous crime, that
2107there is a substantial probability that the defendant committed
2108such crime, that the factual circumstances of the crime indicate
2109a disregard for the safety of the community, and that there are
2110no conditions of release reasonably sufficient to protect the
2111community from the risk of physical harm to persons.
2112     6.  The defendant was on probation, parole, or other
2113release pending completion of sentence or on pretrial release
2114for a dangerous crime at the time the current offense was
2115committed; or
2116     7.  The defendant has violated one or more conditions of
2117pretrial release or bond for the offense currently before the
2118court and the violation, in the discretion of the court,
2119supports a finding that no conditions of release can reasonably
2120protect the community from risk of physical harm to persons or
2121assure the presence of the accused at trial.
