| 233 | Section 7. For the purpose of incorporating the amendment |
| 234 | to section 316.193, Florida Statutes, in a reference thereto, |
| 235 | paragraph (j) of subsection (3) of section 947.146, Florida |
| 236 | Statutes, is reenacted to read: |
| 237 | 947.146 Control Release Authority.-- |
| 238 | (3) Within 120 days prior to the date the state |
| 239 | correctional system is projected pursuant to s. 216.136 to |
| 240 | exceed 99 percent of total capacity, the authority shall |
| 241 | determine eligibility for and establish a control release date |
| 242 | for an appropriate number of parole ineligible inmates committed |
| 243 | to the department and incarcerated within the state who have |
| 244 | been determined by the authority to be eligible for |
| 245 | discretionary early release pursuant to this section. In |
| 246 | establishing control release dates, it is the intent of the |
| 247 | Legislature that the authority prioritize consideration of |
| 248 | eligible inmates closest to their tentative release date. The |
| 249 | authority shall rely upon commitment data on the offender |
| 250 | information system maintained by the department to initially |
| 251 | identify inmates who are to be reviewed for control release |
| 252 | consideration. The authority may use a method of objective risk |
| 253 | assessment in determining if an eligible inmate should be |
| 254 | released. Such assessment shall be a part of the department's |
| 255 | management information system. However, the authority shall have |
| 256 | sole responsibility for determining control release eligibility, |
| 257 | establishing a control release date, and effectuating the |
| 258 | release of a sufficient number of inmates to maintain the inmate |
| 259 | population between 99 percent and 100 percent of total capacity. |
| 260 | Inmates who are ineligible for control release are inmates who |
| 261 | are parole eligible or inmates who: |
| 262 | (j) Are convicted, or have been previously convicted, of |
| 263 | DUI manslaughter under s. 316.193(3)(c)3., and are sentenced, or |
| 264 | have been sentenced at any time, as a habitual offender for such |
| 265 | offense, or have been sentenced at any time in another |
| 266 | jurisdiction as a habitual offender for such offense; |
| 267 |
|
| 268 | In making control release eligibility determinations under this |
| 269 | subsection, the authority may rely on any document leading to or |
| 270 | generated during the course of the criminal proceedings, |
| 271 | including, but not limited to, any presentence or postsentence |
| 272 | investigation or any information contained in arrest reports |
| 273 | relating to circumstances of the offense. |
| 274 | Section 8. This act shall take effect October 1, 2005, and |
| 275 | shall apply to offenses committed on or after that date. |
