164treatment provider for substance abuse treatment, in addition to
165any sentence or fine imposed under this section, completion of
166all such education, evaluation, and treatment is a condition of
167reporting probation. The offender shall assume reasonable costs

169treatment resulting from a psychosocial evaluation shall not be
170waived without a supporting independent psychosocial evaluation
171conducted by an authorized substance abuse treatment provider
172appointed by the court, which shall have access to the DUI
173program's psychosocial evaluation before the independent
174psychosocial evaluation is conducted. The court shall review the
175results and recommendations of both evaluations before
176determining the request for waiver. The offender shall bear the
177full cost of this procedure. The term "substance abuse" means
178the abuse of alcohol or any substance named or described in
179Schedules I through V of s. 893.03. If an offender referred to
180treatment under this subsection fails to report for or complete
181such treatment or fails to complete the DUI program substance
182abuse education course and evaluation, the DUI program shall
183notify the court and the department of the failure. Upon receipt
184of the notice, the department shall cancel the offender's
185driving privilege, notwithstanding the terms of the court order
186or any suspension or revocation of the driving privilege. The
187department may temporarily reinstate the driving privilege on a
188restricted basis upon verification from the DUI program that the
189offender is currently participating in treatment and the DUI
190education course and evaluation requirement has been completed.
191If the DUI program notifies the department of the second failure
192to complete treatment, the department shall reinstate the
193driving privilege only after notice of completion of treatment
194from the DUI program. The organization that conducts the
195substance abuse education and evaluation may not provide
196required substance abuse treatment unless a waiver has been
197granted to that organization by the department. A waiver may be
198granted only if the department determines, in accordance with
199its rules, that the service provider that conducts the substance
200abuse education and evaluation is the most appropriate service
201provider and is licensed under chapter 397 or is exempt from
202such licensure. A statistical referral report shall be submitted
203quarterly to the department by each organization authorized to
204provide services under this section.
205     (6)  With respect to any person convicted of a violation of
206subsection (1), regardless of any penalty imposed pursuant to
207subsection (2), subsection (3), or subsection (4):
208     (a)  For the first conviction, the court shall place the
209defendant on probation for a period not to exceed 1 year and, as
210a condition of such probation, shall order the defendant to
211participate in public service or a community work project for a
212minimum of 50 hours; or the court may order instead, that any
213defendant pay an additional fine of $10 for each hour of public
214service or community work otherwise required, if, after
215consideration of the residence or location of the defendant at
216the time public service or community work is required, payment
217of the fine is in the best interests of the state. However, the
218total period of probation and incarceration may not exceed 1
219year. The court must also, as a condition of probation, order
220the impoundment or immobilization of the vehicle that was
221operated by or in the actual control of the defendant or any one
222vehicle registered in the defendant's name at the time of
223impoundment or immobilization, for a period of 10 days or for
224the unexpired term of any lease or rental agreement that expires
225within 10 days. The impoundment or immobilization must not occur
226concurrently with the incarceration of the defendant. The
227impoundment or immobilization order may be dismissed in
228accordance with paragraph (e), paragraph (f), paragraph (g), or
229paragraph (h).
230     (b)  For the second conviction for an offense that occurs
231within a period of 5 years after the date of a prior conviction
232for violation of this section, the court shall order
233imprisonment for not less than 10 days. The court must also, as
234a condition of probation, order the impoundment or
235immobilization of all vehicles owned by the defendant at the
236time of impoundment or immobilization, for a period of 30 days
237or for the unexpired term of any lease or rental agreement that
238expires within 30 days. The impoundment or immobilization must
239not occur concurrently with the incarceration of the defendant
240and must occur concurrently with the driver's license revocation
241imposed under s. 322.28(2)(a)2. The impoundment or
242immobilization order may be dismissed in accordance with
243paragraph (e), paragraph (f), paragraph (g), or paragraph (h).
244At least 48 hours of confinement must be consecutive.
245     (c)  For the third or subsequent conviction for an offense
246that occurs within a period of 10 years after the date of a
247prior conviction for violation of this section, the court shall
248order imprisonment for not less than 30 days. The court must
249also, as a condition of probation, order the impoundment or
250immobilization of all vehicles owned by the defendant at the
251time of impoundment or immobilization, for a period of 90 days
252or for the unexpired term of any lease or rental agreement that
253expires within 90 days. The impoundment or immobilization must
254not occur concurrently with the incarceration of the defendant
255and must occur concurrently with the driver's license revocation
256imposed under s. 322.28(2)(a)3. The impoundment or
257immobilization order may be dismissed in accordance with
258paragraph (e), paragraph (f), paragraph (g), or paragraph (h).
259At least 48 hours of confinement must be consecutive.
260     (d)  The court must at the time of sentencing the defendant
261issue an order for the impoundment or immobilization of a
262vehicle. Within 7 business days after the date that the court
263issues the order of impoundment or immobilization, the clerk of
264the court must send notice by certified mail, return receipt
265requested, to the registered owner of each vehicle, if the
266registered owner is a person other than the defendant, and to
267each person of record claiming a lien against the vehicle.
268     (e)  A person who owns but was not operating the vehicle
269when the offense occurred may submit to the court a police
270report indicating that the vehicle was stolen at the time of the
271offense or documentation of having purchased the vehicle after
272the offense was committed from an entity other than the
273defendant or the defendant's agent. If the court finds that the
274vehicle was stolen or that the sale was not made to circumvent
275the order and allow the defendant continued access to the
276vehicle, the order must be dismissed and the owner of the
277vehicle will incur no costs. If the court denies the request to
278dismiss the order of impoundment or immobilization, the
279petitioner may request an evidentiary hearing.
280     (f)  A person who owns but was not operating the vehicle
281when the offense occurred, and whose vehicle was stolen or who
282purchased the vehicle after the offense was committed directly
283from the defendant or the defendant's agent, may request an
284evidentiary hearing to determine whether the impoundment or
285immobilization should occur. If the court finds that either the
286vehicle was stolen or the purchase was made without knowledge of
287the offense, that the purchaser had no relationship to the
288defendant other than through the transaction, and that such
289purchase would not circumvent the order and allow the defendant
290continued access to the vehicle, the order must be dismissed and
291the owner of the vehicle will incur no costs.
292     (g)  The court shall also dismiss the order of impoundment
293or immobilization of the vehicle if the court finds that the
294family of the owner of the vehicle has no other private or
295public means of transportation.
296     (h)  The court may also dismiss the order of impoundment or
297immobilization of any vehicles that are owned by the defendant
298but that are operated solely by the employees of the defendant
299or any business owned by the defendant.
300     (i)  All costs and fees for the impoundment or
301immobilization, including the cost of notification, must be paid
302by the owner of the vehicle or, if the vehicle is leased or
303rented, by the person leasing or renting the vehicle, unless the
304impoundment or immobilization order is dismissed. All provisions
305of s. 713.78 shall apply.
306     (j)  The person who owns a vehicle that is impounded or
307immobilized under this paragraph, or a person who has a lien of
308record against such a vehicle and who has not requested a review
309of the impoundment pursuant to paragraph (e), paragraph (f), or
310paragraph (g), may, within 10 days after the date that person
311has knowledge of the location of the vehicle, file a complaint
312in the county in which the owner resides to determine whether
313the vehicle was wrongfully taken or withheld from the owner or
314lienholder. Upon the filing of a complaint, the owner or
315lienholder may have the vehicle released by posting with the
316court a bond or other adequate security equal to the amount of
317the costs and fees for impoundment or immobilization, including
318towing or storage, to ensure the payment of such costs and fees
319if the owner or lienholder does not prevail. When the bond is
320posted and the fee is paid as set forth in s. 28.24, the clerk
321of the court shall issue a certificate releasing the vehicle. At
322the time of release, after reasonable inspection, the owner or
323lienholder must give a receipt to the towing or storage company
324indicating any loss or damage to the vehicle or to the contents
325of the vehicle.
326     (k)  A defendant, in the court's discretion, may be
327required to serve all or any portion of a term of imprisonment
328to which the defendant has been sentenced pursuant to this
329section in a residential alcoholism treatment program or a
330residential drug abuse treatment program. Any time spent in such
331a program must be credited by the court toward the term of
332imprisonment.
333
334For the purposes of this section, any conviction for a violation
335of s. 327.35; a previous conviction for the violation of former
336s. 316.1931, former s. 860.01, or former s. 316.028; or a
337previous conviction outside this state for driving under the
338influence, driving while intoxicated, driving with an unlawful
339blood-alcohol level, driving with an unlawful breath-alcohol
340level, or any other similar alcohol-related or drug-related
341traffic offense, is also considered a previous conviction for
342violation of this section. However, in satisfaction of the fine
343imposed pursuant to this section, the court may, upon a finding
344that the defendant is financially unable to pay either all or
345part of the fine, order that the defendant participate for a
346specified additional period of time in public service or a
347community work project in lieu of payment of that portion of the
348fine which the court determines the defendant is unable to pay.
349In determining such additional sentence, the court shall
350consider the amount of the unpaid portion of the fine and the
351reasonable value of the services to be ordered; however, the
352court may not compute the reasonable value of services at a rate
353less than the federal minimum wage at the time of sentencing.
354     (7)  A conviction under this section does not bar any civil
355suit for damages against the person so convicted.
356     (8)  At the arraignment, or in conjunction with any notice
357of arraignment provided by the clerk of the court, the clerk
358shall provide any person charged with a violation of this
359section with notice that upon conviction the court shall suspend
360or revoke the offender's driver's license and that the offender
361should make arrangements for transportation at any proceeding in
362which the court may take such action. Failure to provide such
363notice does not affect the court's suspension or revocation of
364the offender's driver's license.
365     (9)  A person who is arrested for a violation of this
366section may not be released from custody:
367     (a)  Until the person is no longer under the influence of
368alcoholic beverages, any chemical substance set forth in s.
369877.111, or any substance controlled under chapter 893 and
370affected to the extent that his or her normal faculties are
371impaired;
372     (b)  Until the person's blood-alcohol level or breath-
373alcohol level is less than 0.05; or
374     (c)  Until 8 hours have elapsed from the time the person
375was arrested.
376     (10)  The rulings of the Department of Highway Safety and
377Motor Vehicles under s. 322.2615 shall not be considered in any
378trial for a violation of this section. Testimony or evidence
379from the administrative proceedings or any written statement
380submitted by a person in his or her request for administrative
381review is inadmissible into evidence or for any other purpose in
382any criminal proceeding, unless timely disclosed in criminal
383discovery pursuant to Rule 3.220, Florida Rules of Criminal
384Procedure.

832informal review hearing under subsection (4), the hearing
833officer shall determine by a preponderance of the evidence
834whether sufficient cause exists to sustain, amend, or invalidate
835the suspension. The scope of the review shall be limited to the
836following issues:
837     (a)  If the license was suspended for driving with an
838unlawful blood-alcohol level in violation of s. 316.193:
839     1.  Whether the arresting law enforcement officer had
840probable cause to believe that the person was driving or in
841actual physical control of a motor vehicle in this state while
842under the influence of alcoholic beverages or controlled
843substances.
844     2.  Whether the person was placed under lawful arrest for a
845violation of s. 316.193.
846     3.  Whether the person had an unlawful blood-alcohol level
847as provided in s. 316.193.
848     (b)  If the license was suspended for refusal to submit to
849a breath, blood, or urine test:
850     1.  Whether the arresting law enforcement officer had
851probable cause to believe that the person was driving or in
852actual physical control of a motor vehicle in this state while
853under the influence of alcoholic beverages or controlled
854substances.
855     2.  Whether the person was placed under lawful arrest for a
856violation of s. 316.193.
857     3.  Whether the person refused to submit to any such test
858after being requested to do so by a law enforcement officer or
859correctional officer.
860     4.  Whether the person was told that if he or she refused
861to submit to such test his or her privilege to operate a motor
862vehicle would be suspended for a period of 1 year or, in the
863case of a second or subsequent refusal, for a period of 18
864months.
865     (8)  Based on the determination of the hearing officer
866pursuant to subsection (7) for both informal hearings under
867subsection (4) and formal hearings under subsection (6), the
868department shall:
869     (b)  Sustain the suspension of the person's driving
870privilege for a period of 6 months for a violation of s.
871316.193, or for a period of 1 year if the driving privilege of
872such person has been previously suspended as a result of a
873violation of s. 316.193. The suspension period commences on the
874date of the arrest or issuance of the notice of suspension,
875whichever is later.
876     (10)  A person whose driver's license is suspended under
877subsection (1) or subsection (3) may apply for issuance of a
878license for business or employment purposes only if the person
879is otherwise eligible for the driving privilege pursuant to s.
880322.271.
881     (b)  If the suspension of the driver's license of the
882person arrested for a violation of s. 316.193, relating to
883unlawful blood-alcohol level, is sustained, the person is not
884eligible to receive a license for business or employment
885purposes only pursuant to s. 322.271 until 30 days have elapsed
886after the expiration of the last temporary permit issued. If the
887driver is not issued a 10-day permit pursuant to this section or
888s. 322.64 because he or she is ineligible for the permit and the
889suspension for a violation of s. 316.193, relating to unlawful
890blood-alcohol level, is not invalidated by the department, the
891driver is not eligible to receive a business or employment
892license pursuant to s. 322.271 until 30 days have elapsed from
893the date of the arrest.
894     (14)  The decision of the department under this section
895shall not be considered in any trial for a violation of s.
896316.193, nor shall any written statement submitted by a person
897in his or her request for departmental review under this section
898be admissible into evidence against him or her in any such
899trial. The disposition of any related criminal proceedings shall
900not affect a suspension imposed pursuant to this section.
901     Section 20.  For the purpose of incorporating the amendment
902to section 316.193, Florida Statutes, in references thereto,
903paragraph (a) of subsection (1) and subsections (15) and (19) of
904section 322.2616, Florida Statutes, are reenacted to read:
905     322.2616  Suspension of license; persons under 21 years of
906age; right to review.--
907     (1)(a)  Notwithstanding s. 316.193, it is unlawful for a
908person under the age of 21 who has a blood-alcohol or breath-
909alcohol level of 0.02 or higher to drive or be in actual
910physical control of a motor vehicle.
911     (15)  The decision of the department under this section
912shall not be considered in any trial for a violation of s.
913316.193, nor shall any written statement submitted by a person
914in his or her request for departmental review under this section
915be admissible into evidence against him or her in any such
916trial. The disposition of any related criminal proceedings shall
917not affect a suspension imposed under this section.
918     (19)  A violation of this section is neither a traffic
919infraction nor a criminal offense, nor does being detained
920pursuant to this section constitute an arrest. A violation of
921this section is subject to the administrative action provisions
922of this section, which are administered by the department
923through its administrative processes. Administrative actions
924taken pursuant to this section shall be recorded in the motor
925vehicle records maintained by the department. This section does
926not bar prosecution under s. 316.193. However, if the department
927suspends a person's license under s. 322.2615 for a violation of
928s. 316.193, it may not also suspend the person's license under
929this section for the same episode that was the basis for the
930suspension under s. 322.2615.
931     Section 21.  For the purpose of incorporating the amendment
932to section 316.193, Florida Statutes, in a reference thereto,
933paragraph (b) of subsection (1) of section 322.264, Florida
934Statutes, is reenacted to read:
935     322.264  "Habitual traffic offender" defined.--A "habitual
936traffic offender" is any person whose record, as maintained by
937the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, shows that
938such person has accumulated the specified number of convictions
939for offenses described in subsection (1) or subsection (2)
940within a 5-year period:
941     (1)  Three or more convictions of any one or more of the
942following offenses arising out of separate acts:
943     (b)  Any violation of s. 316.193, former s. 316.1931, or
944former s. 860.01;
945
946Any violation of any federal law, any law of another state or
947country, or any valid ordinance of a municipality or county of
948another state similar to a statutory prohibition specified in
949subsection (1) or subsection (2) shall be counted as a violation
950of such prohibition. In computing the number of convictions, all
951convictions during the 5 years previous to July 1, 1972, will be
952used, provided at least one conviction occurs after that date.
953The fact that previous convictions may have resulted in
954suspension, revocation, or disqualification under another
955section does not exempt them from being used for suspension or
956revocation under this section as a habitual offender.
957     Section 22.  For the purpose of incorporating the amendment
958to section 316.193, Florida Statutes, in references thereto,
959paragraphs (a) and (c) of subsection (2) and subsection (4) of
960section 322.271, Florida Statutes, are reenacted to read:
961     322.271  Authority to modify revocation, cancellation, or
962suspension order.--
963     (2)(a)  Upon such hearing, the person whose license has
964been suspended, canceled, or revoked may show that such
965suspension, cancellation, or revocation of his or her license
966causes a serious hardship and precludes the person's carrying
967out his or her normal business occupation, trade, or employment
968and that the use of the person's license in the normal course of
969his or her business is necessary to the proper support of the
970person or his or her family. Except as otherwise provided in
971this subsection, the department shall require proof of the
972successful completion of the applicable department-approved
973driver training course operating pursuant to s. 318.1451 or DUI
974program substance abuse education course and evaluation as
975provided in s. 316.193(5). Letters of recommendation from
976respected business persons in the community, law enforcement
977officers, or judicial officers may also be required to determine
978whether such person should be permitted to operate a motor
979vehicle on a restricted basis for business or employment use
980only and in determining whether such person can be trusted to so
981operate a motor vehicle. If a driver's license has been
982suspended under the point system or pursuant to s. 322.2615, the
983department shall require proof of enrollment in the applicable
984department-approved driver training course or licensed DUI
985program substance abuse education course, including evaluation
986and treatment, if referred, and may require letters of
987recommendation described in this subsection to determine if the
988driver should be reinstated on a restricted basis. If such
989person fails to complete the approved course within 90 days
990after reinstatement or subsequently fails to complete treatment,
991if applicable, the department shall cancel his or her driver's
992license until the course and treatment, if applicable, is
993successfully completed, notwithstanding the terms of the court
994order or any suspension or revocation of the driving privilege.
995The department may temporarily reinstate the driving privilege
996on a restricted basis upon verification from the DUI program
997that the offender has reentered and is currently participating
998in treatment and has completed the DUI education course and
999evaluation requirement. If the DUI program notifies the
1000department of the second failure to complete treatment, the
1001department shall reinstate the driving privilege only after
1002notice of completion of treatment from the DUI program. The
1003privilege of driving on a limited or restricted basis for
1004business or employment use shall not be granted to a person who
1005has been convicted of a violation of s. 316.193 until completion
1006of the DUI program substance abuse education course and
1007evaluations as provided in s. 316.193(5). Except as provided in
1008paragraph (b), the privilege of driving on a limited or
1009restricted basis for business or employment use shall not be
1010granted to a person whose license is revoked pursuant to s.
1011322.28 or suspended pursuant to s. 322.2615 and who has been
1012convicted of a violation of s. 316.193 two or more times or
1013whose license has been suspended two or more times for refusal
1014to submit to a test pursuant to s. 322.2615 or former s.
1015322.261.
1016     (c)  For the purpose of this section, a previous conviction
1017of driving under the influence, driving while intoxicated,
1018driving with an unlawful blood-alcohol level, or any other
1019similar alcohol-related or drug-related offense outside this
1020state or a previous conviction of former s. 316.1931, former s.
1021316.028, or former s. 860.01 shall be considered a previous
1022conviction for violation of s. 316.193.
1023     (4)  Notwithstanding the provisions of s. 322.28(2)(e), a
1024person whose driving privilege has been permanently revoked
1025because he or she has been convicted of DUI manslaughter in
1026violation of s. 316.193 and has no prior convictions for DUI-
1027related offenses may, upon the expiration of 5 years after the
1028date of such revocation or the expiration of 5 years after the
1029termination of any term of incarceration under s. 316.193 or
1030former s. 316.1931, whichever date is later, petition the
1031department for reinstatement of his or her driving privilege.
1032     (a)  Within 30 days after the receipt of such a petition,
1033the department shall afford the petitioner an opportunity for a
1034hearing. At the hearing, the petitioner must demonstrate to the
1035department that he or she:

1044petitioner's qualification, fitness, and need to drive. Upon
1045such determination, the department may, in its discretion,
1046reinstate the driver's license of the petitioner. Such
1047reinstatement must be made subject to the following
1048qualifications:
1049     1.  The license must be restricted for employment purposes
1050for not less than 1 year; and
1051     2.  Such person must be supervised by a DUI program
1052licensed by the department and report to the program for such
1053supervision and education at least four times a year or
1054additionally as required by the program for the remainder of the
1055revocation period. Such supervision shall include evaluation,
1056education, referral into treatment, and other activities
1057required by the department.
1058     (c)  Such person must assume the reasonable costs of
1059supervision. If such person fails to comply with the required
1060supervision, the program shall report the failure to the
1061department, and the department shall cancel such person's
1062driving privilege.
1063     (d)  If, after reinstatement, such person is convicted of
1064an offense for which mandatory revocation of his or her license
1065is required, the department shall revoke his or her driving
1066privilege.
1067     (e)  The department shall adopt rules regulating the
1068providing of services by DUI programs pursuant to this section.
1069     Section 23.  For the purpose of incorporating the amendment
1070to section 316.193, Florida Statutes, in references thereto,
1071subsection (2) of section 322.28, Florida Statutes, is reenacted
1072to read:
1073     322.28  Period of suspension or revocation.--

1075former s. 316.1931, the following provisions apply:
1076     (a)  Upon conviction of the driver, the court, along with
1077imposing sentence, shall revoke the driver's license or driving
1078privilege of the person so convicted, effective on the date of

1080accordance with the following provisions:
1081     1.  Upon a first conviction for a violation of the
1082provisions of s. 316.193, except a violation resulting in death,
1083the driver's license or driving privilege shall be revoked for
1084not less than 180 days or more than 1 year.
1085     2.  Upon a second conviction for an offense that occurs
1086within a period of 5 years after the date of a prior conviction
1087for a violation of the provisions of s. 316.193 or former s.
1088316.1931 or a combination of such sections, the driver's license
1089or driving privilege shall be revoked for not less than 5 years.
1090     3.  Upon a third conviction for an offense that occurs
1091within a period of 10 years after the date of a prior conviction
1092for the violation of the provisions of s. 316.193 or former s.
1093316.1931 or a combination of such sections, the driver's license
1094or driving privilege shall be revoked for not less than 10

1096
1097For the purposes of this paragraph, a previous conviction
1098outside this state for driving under the influence, driving
1099while intoxicated, driving with an unlawful blood-alcohol level,
1100or any other alcohol-related or drug-related traffic offense
1101similar to the offense of driving under the influence as
1102proscribed by s. 316.193 will be considered a previous
1103conviction for violation of s. 316.193, and a conviction for
1104violation of former s. 316.028, former s. 316.1931, or former s.
1105860.01 is considered a conviction for violation of s. 316.193.
1106     (b)  If the period of revocation was not specified by the
1107court at the time of imposing sentence or within 30 days
1108thereafter, and is not otherwise specified by law, the
1109department shall forthwith revoke the driver's license or
1110driving privilege for the maximum period applicable under
1111paragraph (a) for a first conviction and for the minimum period
1112applicable under paragraph (a) for any subsequent convictions.
1113The driver may, within 30 days after such revocation by the
1114department, petition the court for further hearing on the period
1115of revocation, and the court may reopen the case and determine
1116the period of revocation within the limits specified in
1117paragraph (a).
1118     (c)  The forfeiture of bail bond, not vacated within 20
1119days, in any prosecution for the offense of driving while under
1120the influence of alcoholic beverages, chemical substances, or
1121controlled substances to the extent of depriving the defendant
1122of his or her normal faculties shall be deemed equivalent to a
1123conviction for the purposes of this paragraph, and the

1125license or driving privilege for the maximum period applicable
1126under paragraph (a) for a first conviction and for the minimum
1127period applicable under paragraph (a) for a second or subsequent
1128conviction; however, if the defendant is later convicted of the
1129charge, the period of revocation imposed by the department for
1130such conviction shall not exceed the difference between the
1131applicable maximum for a first conviction or minimum for a
1132second or subsequent conviction and the revocation period under
1133this subsection that has actually elapsed; upon conviction of
1134such charge, the court may impose revocation for a period of
1135time as specified in paragraph (a). This paragraph does not
1136apply if an appropriate motion contesting the forfeiture is
1137filed within the 20-day period.
1138     (d)  When any driver's license or driving privilege has
1139been revoked pursuant to the provisions of this section, the

1142of revocation so prescribed. However, the court may, in its
1143sound discretion, issue an order of reinstatement on a form
1144furnished by the department which the person may take to any

1156license or driving privilege pursuant to this paragraph. No
1157driver's license or driving privilege may be issued or granted
1158to any such person. This paragraph applies only if at least one
1159of the convictions for violation of s. 316.193 or former s.
1160316.1931 was for a violation that occurred after July 1, 1982.
1161For the purposes of this paragraph, a conviction for violation
1162of former s. 316.028, former s. 316.1931, or former s. 860.01 is
1163also considered a conviction for violation of s. 316.193. Also,

1176in its discretion, orders reinstatement as provided by s.
1177322.28(2)(d) or former s. 322.261(5):
1178     (2)(a)  The court shall issue an order of reinstatement, on

1183of a department-approved driver training or substance abuse
1184education course, and a written request for a hearing under s.
1185322.271. The permit shall not be issued if a record check by the
1186department shows that the person has previously been convicted

1196construed to prevent the reinstatement of a license or driving
1197privilege that is presently suspended for driving with an
1198unlawful blood-alcohol level or a refusal to submit to a breath,
1199urine, or blood test and is also revoked for a conviction for a
1200violation of s. 316.193 or former s. 316.1931, if the suspension
1201and revocation arise out of the same incident.
1202     Section 25.  For the purpose of incorporating the amendment

1241department of the second failure to complete treatment, the
1242department shall reinstate the driving privilege only after
1243notice of completion of treatment from the DUI program.
1244     Section 26.  For the purpose of incorporating the amendment

1496violation of s. 316.193 and that the person had a blood-alcohol
1497level or breath-alcohol level of 0.08 or higher, the department
1498shall disqualify the person from operating a commercial motor

1508test; or
1509     b.  The driver violated s. 316.193 by driving with an
1510unlawful blood-alcohol level and he or she is disqualified from
1511operating a commercial motor vehicle for a period of 6 months
1512for a first offense or for a period of 1 year if he or she has
1513previously been disqualified, or his or her driving privilege
1514has been previously suspended, for a violation of s. 316.193.

1538submit; a copy of the citation issued to the person arrested;
1539and the officer's description of the person's field sobriety
1540test, if any. The failure of the officer to submit materials
1541within the 5-day period specified in this subsection or
1542subsection (1) shall not affect the department's ability to
1543consider any evidence submitted at or prior to the hearing. The

1565pursuant to subsection (7) for both informal hearings under
1566subsection (4) and formal hearings under subsection (6), the
1567department shall:
1568     (b)  Sustain the disqualification for a period of 6 months
1569for a violation of s. 316.193 or for a period of 1 year if the
1570person has been previously disqualified from operating a
1571commercial motor vehicle or his or her driving privilege has

1582of any related criminal proceedings shall not affect a
1583disqualification imposed pursuant to this section.

1585driving privilege pursuant to s. 322.2615. The driving privilege
1586of a person who has been disqualified from operating a
1587commercial motor vehicle also may be suspended for a violation

1681the offense, that the purchaser had no relationship to the
1682defendant other than through the transaction, and that such
1683purchase would not circumvent the order and allow the defendant
1684continued access to the vessel, the order must be dismissed and
1685the owner of the vessel will incur no costs.
1686     (g)  All costs and fees for the impoundment or
1687immobilization, including the cost of notification, must be paid
1688by the owner of the vessel or, if the vessel is leased or
1689rented, by the person leasing or renting the vessel, unless the
1690impoundment or immobilization order is dismissed.
1691     (h)  The person who owns a vessel that is impounded or
1692immobilized under this paragraph, or a person who has a lien of
1693record against such a vessel and who has not requested a review
1694of the impoundment pursuant to paragraph (e) or paragraph (f),
1695may, within 10 days after the date that person has knowledge of
1696the location of the vessel, file a complaint in the county in
1697which the owner resides to determine whether the vessel was
1698wrongfully taken or withheld from the owner or lienholder. Upon
1699the filing of a complaint, the owner or lienholder may have the
1700vessel released by posting with the court a bond or other
1701adequate security equal to the amount of the costs and fees for
1702impoundment or immobilization, including towing or storage, to
1703ensure the payment of the costs and fees if the owner or
1704lienholder does not prevail. When the bond is posted and the fee
1705is paid as set forth in s. 28.24, the clerk of the court shall
1706issue a certificate releasing the vessel. At the time of
1707release, after reasonable inspection, the owner or lienholder
1708must give a receipt to the towing or storage company indicating
1709any loss or damage to the vessel or to the contents of the
1710vessel.
1711     (i)  A defendant, in the court's discretion, may be
1712required to serve all or any portion of a term of imprisonment
1713to which the defendant has been sentenced pursuant to this
1714section in a residential alcoholism treatment program or a
1715residential drug abuse treatment program. Any time spent in such
1716a program must be credited by the court toward the term of
1717imprisonment.
1718
1719For the purposes of this section, any conviction for a violation
1720of s. 316.193, a previous conviction for the violation of former
1721s. 316.1931, former s. 860.01, or former s. 316.028, or a
1722previous conviction outside this state for driving under the
1723influence, driving while intoxicated, driving with an unlawful
1724blood-alcohol level, driving with an unlawful breath-alcohol
1725level, or any other similar alcohol-related or drug-related
1726traffic offense, is also considered a previous conviction for
1727violation of this section.
1728     Section 33.  For the purpose of incorporating the amendment

1730subsection (10) of section 397.405, Florida Statutes, is
1731reenacted to read:

1735pursuant to ss. 316.192, 316.193, 322.095, 322.271, and 322.291.

1752chapter. Failure to comply with any requirement necessary to
1753maintain an exempt status under this section is a misdemeanor of

1756     Section 34.  For the purpose of incorporating the amendment
1757to section 316.193, Florida Statutes, in a reference thereto,
1758paragraph (c) of subsection (17) of section 440.02, Florida
1759Statutes, is reenacted to read:
1760     440.02  Definitions.--When used in this chapter, unless the
1761context clearly requires otherwise, the following terms shall
1762have the following meanings:
1763     (17)
1764     (c)  "Employment" does not include service performed by or
1765as:
1766     1.  Domestic servants in private homes.
1767     2.  Agricultural labor performed on a farm in the employ of
1768a bona fide farmer, or association of farmers, that employs 5 or
1769fewer regular employees and that employs fewer than 12 other
1770employees at one time for seasonal agricultural labor that is
1771completed in less than 30 days, provided such seasonal
1772employment does not exceed 45 days in the same calendar year.
1773The term "farm" includes stock, dairy, poultry, fruit, fur-
1774bearing animals, fish, and truck farms, ranches, nurseries, and
1775orchards. The term "agricultural labor" includes field foremen,
1776timekeepers, checkers, and other farm labor supervisory
1777personnel.
1778     3.  Professional athletes, such as professional boxers,
1779wrestlers, baseball, football, basketball, hockey, polo, tennis,
1780jai alai, and similar players, and motorsports teams competing
1781in a motor racing event as defined in s. 549.08.
1782     4.  Labor under a sentence of a court to perform community
1783services as provided in s. 316.193.
1784     5.  State prisoners or county inmates, except those
1785performing services for private employers or those enumerated in
1786s. 948.03(8)(a).
1787     Section 35.  For the purpose of incorporating the amendment
1788to section 316.193, Florida Statutes, in a reference thereto,
1789paragraph (b) of subsection (7) of section 440.09, Florida
1790Statutes, is reenacted to read:
1791     440.09  Coverage.--
1792     (7)
1793     (b)  If the employee has, at the time of the injury, a
1794blood alcohol level equal to or greater than the level specified
1795in s. 316.193, or if the employee has a positive confirmation of
1796a drug as defined in this act, it is presumed that the injury
1797was occasioned primarily by the intoxication of, or by the
1798influence of the drug upon, the employee. If the employer has
1799implemented a drug-free workplace, this presumption may be
1800rebutted only by evidence that there is no reasonable hypothesis
1801that the intoxication or drug influence contributed to the
1802injury. In the absence of a drug-free workplace program, this
1803presumption may be rebutted by clear and convincing evidence
1804that the intoxication or influence of the drug did not
1805contribute to the injury. Percent by weight of alcohol in the
1806blood must be based upon grams of alcohol per 100 milliliters of
1807blood. If the results are positive, the testing facility must
1808maintain the specimen for a minimum of 90 days. Blood serum may
1809be used for testing purposes under this chapter; however, if
1810this test is used, the presumptions under this section do not
1811arise unless the blood alcohol level is proved to be medically
1812and scientifically equivalent to or greater than the comparable
1813blood alcohol level that would have been obtained if the test
1814were based on percent by weight of alcohol in the blood.
1815However, if, before the accident, the employer had actual
1816knowledge of and expressly acquiesced in the employee's presence
1817at the workplace while under the influence of such alcohol or
1818drug, the presumptions specified in this subsection do not
1819apply.
1820     Section 36.  For the purpose of incorporating the amendment
1821to section 316.193, Florida Statutes, in a reference thereto,
1822paragraph (d) of subsection (1) of section 493.6106, Florida
1823Statutes, is reenacted to read:
1824     493.6106  License requirements; posting.--
1825     (1)  Each individual licensed by the department must:
1826     (d)  Not be a chronic and habitual user of alcoholic

1835currently impaired and has successfully completed a
1836rehabilitation course.

1840reenacted to read:
1841     627.758  Surety on auto club traffic arrest bond;

1844chapter 648, any surety insurer identified in a guaranteed

1877even though the first violation may have occurred prior to the
1878date on which the application was submitted;

1896agents is authorization for such agent to execute the bail bond.
1897     Section 40.  For the purpose of incorporating the amendment
1898to section 316.193, Florida Statutes, in references thereto,
1899paragraph (c) of subsection (4) of section 907.041, Florida
1900Statutes, is reenacted to read:
1901     907.041  Pretrial detention and release.--
1902     (4)  PRETRIAL DETENTION.--
1903     (c)  The court may order pretrial detention if it finds a
1904substantial probability, based on a defendant's past and present
1905patterns of behavior, the criteria in s. 903.046, and any other
1906relevant facts, that any of the following circumstances exists:
1907     1.  The defendant has previously violated conditions of
1908release and that no further conditions of release are reasonably
1909likely to assure the defendant's appearance at subsequent
1910proceedings;
1911     2.  The defendant, with the intent to obstruct the judicial
1912process, has threatened, intimidated, or injured any victim,
1913potential witness, juror, or judicial officer, or has attempted
1914or conspired to do so, and that no condition of release will
1915reasonably prevent the obstruction of the judicial process;
1916     3.  The defendant is charged with trafficking in controlled
1917substances as defined by s. 893.135, that there is a substantial
1918probability that the defendant has committed the offense, and
1919that no conditions of release will reasonably assure the
1920defendant's appearance at subsequent criminal proceedings; or
1921     4.  The defendant is charged with DUI manslaughter, as
1922defined by s. 316.193, and that there is a substantial
1923probability that the defendant committed the crime and that the
1924defendant poses a threat of harm to the community; conditions
1925that would support a finding by the court pursuant to this
1926subparagraph that the defendant poses a threat of harm to the
1927community include, but are not limited to, any of the following:
1928     a.  The defendant has previously been convicted of any
1929crime under s. 316.193, or of any crime in any other state or
1930territory of the United States that is substantially similar to
1931any crime under s. 316.193;

1933license when the charged crime was committed; or
1934     c.  The defendant has previously been found guilty of, or
1935has had adjudication of guilt withheld for, driving while the
1936defendant's driver's license was suspended or revoked in
1937violation of s. 322.34;
1938     5.  The defendant poses the threat of harm to the
1939community. The court may so conclude, if it finds that the
1940defendant is presently charged with a dangerous crime, that
1941there is a substantial probability that the defendant committed
1942such crime, that the factual circumstances of the crime indicate
1943a disregard for the safety of the community, and that there are
1944no conditions of release reasonably sufficient to protect the
1945community from the risk of physical harm to persons.
1946     6.  The defendant was on probation, parole, or other
1947release pending completion of sentence or on pretrial release
1948for a dangerous crime at the time the current offense was
1949committed; or
1950     7.  The defendant has violated one or more conditions of
1951pretrial release or bond for the offense currently before the
1952court and the violation, in the discretion of the court,
1953supports a finding that no conditions of release can reasonably
1954protect the community from risk of physical harm to persons or
1955assure the presence of the accused at trial.
1956     Section 41.  For the purpose of incorporating the
