409received by it as follows:
410     (a)  Of the $35 fee received from a licensee for

412deposit $15 in the General Revenue Fund and $20 in the Highway
413Safety Operating Trust Fund.

415reinstatement following a revocation or disqualification, the
416department shall deposit $35 in the General Revenue Fund and $25
417in the Highway Safety Operating Trust Fund.
418
419If the revocation or suspension of the driver's license was for
420a violation of s. 316.193, or for refusal to submit to a lawful
421breath, blood, or urine test, an additional fee of $115 must be
422charged. However, only one $115 fee may be collected from one
423person convicted of violations arising out of the same incident.
424The department shall collect the $115 fee and deposit the fee
425into the Highway Safety Operating Trust Fund at the time of
426reinstatement of the person's driver's license, but the fee may
427not be collected if the suspension or revocation is overturned.

470if the person is otherwise eligible for the driving privilege
471and shall issue the person a notice of suspension. If a blood

478level or breath-alcohol level of 0.08 or higher, the department
479shall suspend the person's driver's license pursuant to
480subsection (3).
481     (b)  The suspension under paragraph (a) shall be pursuant

496     2.  The suspension period shall commence on the date of
497arrest or issuance of the notice of suspension, whichever is
498later.
499     3.  The driver may request a formal or informal review of
500the suspension by the department within 10 days after the date
501of arrest or issuance of the notice of suspension, whichever is

525attempt to administer such test.
526     (7)  In a formal review hearing under subsection (6) or an

557vehicle would be suspended for a period of 1 year or, in the
558case of a second or subsequent refusal, for a period of 18
559months.
560     (8)  Based on the determination of the hearing officer
561pursuant to subsection (7) for both informal hearings under
562subsection (4) and formal hearings under subsection (6), the
563department shall:
564     (b)  Sustain the suspension of the person's driving
565privilege for a period of 6 months for a violation of s.
566316.193, or for a period of 1 year if the driving privilege of
567such person has been previously suspended as a result of a
568violation of s. 316.193. The suspension period commences on the
569date of the arrest or issuance of the notice of suspension,
570whichever is later.
571     (10)  A person whose driver's license is suspended under
572subsection (1) or subsection (3) may apply for issuance of a
573license for business or employment purposes only if the person
574is otherwise eligible for the driving privilege pursuant to s.

576     (b)  If the suspension of the driver's license of the
577person arrested for a violation of s. 316.193, relating to
578unlawful blood-alcohol level, is sustained, the person is not
579eligible to receive a license for business or employment
580purposes only pursuant to s. 322.271 until 30 days have elapsed
581after the expiration of the last temporary permit issued. If the
582driver is not issued a 10-day permit pursuant to this section or
583s. 322.64 because he or she is ineligible for the permit and the
584suspension for a violation of s. 316.193, relating to unlawful
585blood-alcohol level, is not invalidated by the department, the
586driver is not eligible to receive a business or employment
587license pursuant to s. 322.271 until 30 days have elapsed from
588the date of the arrest.
589     (14)  The decision of the department under this section
590shall not be considered in any trial for a violation of s.
591316.193, nor shall any written statement submitted by a person
592in his or her request for departmental review under this section
593be admissible into evidence against him or her in any such
594trial. The disposition of any related criminal proceedings shall
595not affect a suspension imposed pursuant to this section.
596     Section 20.  For the purpose of incorporating the amendment
597to section 316.193, Florida Statutes, in references thereto,
598paragraph (a) of subsection (1) and subsections (15) and (19) of
599section 322.2616, Florida Statutes, are reenacted to read:
600     322.2616  Suspension of license; persons under 21 years of
601age; right to review.--
602     (1)(a)  Notwithstanding s. 316.193, it is unlawful for a
603person under the age of 21 who has a blood-alcohol or breath-
604alcohol level of 0.02 or higher to drive or be in actual
605physical control of a motor vehicle.
606     (15)  The decision of the department under this section
607shall not be considered in any trial for a violation of s.
608316.193, nor shall any written statement submitted by a person
609in his or her request for departmental review under this section
610be admissible into evidence against him or her in any such
611trial. The disposition of any related criminal proceedings shall
612not affect a suspension imposed under this section.
613     (19)  A violation of this section is neither a traffic
614infraction nor a criminal offense, nor does being detained
615pursuant to this section constitute an arrest. A violation of
616this section is subject to the administrative action provisions
617of this section, which are administered by the department
618through its administrative processes. Administrative actions
619taken pursuant to this section shall be recorded in the motor
620vehicle records maintained by the department. This section does
621not bar prosecution under s. 316.193. However, if the department
622suspends a person's license under s. 322.2615 for a violation of
623s. 316.193, it may not also suspend the person's license under
624this section for the same episode that was the basis for the
625suspension under s. 322.2615.
626     Section 21.  For the purpose of incorporating the amendment
627to section 316.193, Florida Statutes, in a reference thereto,
628paragraph (b) of subsection (1) of section 322.264, Florida
629Statutes, is reenacted to read:
630     322.264  "Habitual traffic offender" defined.--A "habitual
631traffic offender" is any person whose record, as maintained by
632the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, shows that
633such person has accumulated the specified number of convictions
634for offenses described in subsection (1) or subsection (2)
635within a 5-year period:
636     (1)  Three or more convictions of any one or more of the
637following offenses arising out of separate acts:
638     (b)  Any violation of s. 316.193, former s. 316.1931, or
639former s. 860.01;
640
641Any violation of any federal law, any law of another state or
642country, or any valid ordinance of a municipality or county of
643another state similar to a statutory prohibition specified in
644subsection (1) or subsection (2) shall be counted as a violation
645of such prohibition. In computing the number of convictions, all
646convictions during the 5 years previous to July 1, 1972, will be
647used, provided at least one conviction occurs after that date.
648The fact that previous convictions may have resulted in
649suspension, revocation, or disqualification under another
650section does not exempt them from being used for suspension or
651revocation under this section as a habitual offender.
652     Section 22.  For the purpose of incorporating the amendment
653to section 316.193, Florida Statutes, in references thereto,
654paragraphs (a) and (c) of subsection (2) and subsection (4) of
655section 322.271, Florida Statutes, are reenacted to read:
656     322.271  Authority to modify revocation, cancellation, or
657suspension order.--
658     (2)(a)  Upon such hearing, the person whose license has
659been suspended, canceled, or revoked may show that such
660suspension, cancellation, or revocation of his or her license
661causes a serious hardship and precludes the person's carrying
662out his or her normal business occupation, trade, or employment
663and that the use of the person's license in the normal course of
664his or her business is necessary to the proper support of the
665person or his or her family. Except as otherwise provided in
666this subsection, the department shall require proof of the

670provided in s. 316.193(5). Letters of recommendation from
671respected business persons in the community, law enforcement
672officers, or judicial officers may also be required to determine
673whether such person should be permitted to operate a motor
674vehicle on a restricted basis for business or employment use
675only and in determining whether such person can be trusted to so
676operate a motor vehicle. If a driver's license has been
677suspended under the point system or pursuant to s. 322.2615, the
678department shall require proof of enrollment in the applicable
679department-approved driver training course or licensed DUI
680program substance abuse education course, including evaluation
681and treatment, if referred, and may require letters of
682recommendation described in this subsection to determine if the
683driver should be reinstated on a restricted basis. If such
684person fails to complete the approved course within 90 days
685after reinstatement or subsequently fails to complete treatment,
686if applicable, the department shall cancel his or her driver's
687license until the course and treatment, if applicable, is
688successfully completed, notwithstanding the terms of the court
689order or any suspension or revocation of the driving privilege.
690The department may temporarily reinstate the driving privilege
691on a restricted basis upon verification from the DUI program
692that the offender has reentered and is currently participating
693in treatment and has completed the DUI education course and
694evaluation requirement. If the DUI program notifies the
695department of the second failure to complete treatment, the
696department shall reinstate the driving privilege only after
697notice of completion of treatment from the DUI program. The
698privilege of driving on a limited or restricted basis for
699business or employment use shall not be granted to a person who
700has been convicted of a violation of s. 316.193 until completion
701of the DUI program substance abuse education course and
702evaluations as provided in s. 316.193(5). Except as provided in

711     (c)  For the purpose of this section, a previous conviction
712of driving under the influence, driving while intoxicated,
713driving with an unlawful blood-alcohol level, or any other
714similar alcohol-related or drug-related offense outside this
715state or a previous conviction of former s. 316.1931, former s.
716316.028, or former s. 860.01 shall be considered a previous
717conviction for violation of s. 316.193.
718     (4)  Notwithstanding the provisions of s. 322.28(2)(e), a
719person whose driving privilege has been permanently revoked
720because he or she has been convicted of DUI manslaughter in
721violation of s. 316.193 and has no prior convictions for DUI-
722related offenses may, upon the expiration of 5 years after the
723date of such revocation or the expiration of 5 years after the
724termination of any term of incarceration under s. 316.193 or
725former s. 316.1931, whichever date is later, petition the
726department for reinstatement of his or her driving privilege.

750revocation period. Such supervision shall include evaluation,
751education, referral into treatment, and other activities
752required by the department.
753     (c)  Such person must assume the reasonable costs of
754supervision. If such person fails to comply with the required
755supervision, the program shall report the failure to the
756department, and the department shall cancel such person's
757driving privilege.
758     (d)  If, after reinstatement, such person is convicted of
759an offense for which mandatory revocation of his or her license
760is required, the department shall revoke his or her driving
761privilege.
762     (e)  The department shall adopt rules regulating the
763providing of services by DUI programs pursuant to this section.
764     Section 23.  For the purpose of incorporating the amendment
765to section 316.193, Florida Statutes, in references thereto,
766subsection (2) of section 322.28, Florida Statutes, is reenacted

779not less than 180 days or more than 1 year.
780     2.  Upon a second conviction for an offense that occurs
781within a period of 5 years after the date of a prior conviction
782for a violation of the provisions of s. 316.193 or former s.
783316.1931 or a combination of such sections, the driver's license
784or driving privilege shall be revoked for not less than 5 years.

795or any other alcohol-related or drug-related traffic offense
796similar to the offense of driving under the influence as

799violation of former s. 316.028, former s. 316.1931, or former s.
800860.01 is considered a conviction for violation of s. 316.193.
801     (b)  If the period of revocation was not specified by the

803thereafter, and is not otherwise specified by law, the
804department shall forthwith revoke the driver's license or
805driving privilege for the maximum period applicable under

839furnished by the department which the person may take to any
840driver's license examining office for reinstatement by the
841department pursuant to s. 322.282.
842     (e)  The court shall permanently revoke the driver's
843license or driving privilege of a person who has been convicted
844four times for violation of s. 316.193 or former s. 316.1931 or

846revoke the driver's license or driving privilege of any person
847who has been convicted of DUI manslaughter in violation of s.
848316.193. If the court has not permanently revoked such driver's
849license or driving privilege within 30 days after imposing
850sentence, the department shall permanently revoke the driver's
851license or driving privilege pursuant to this paragraph. No
852driver's license or driving privilege may be issued or granted
853to any such person. This paragraph applies only if at least one
854of the convictions for violation of s. 316.193 or former s.

856For the purposes of this paragraph, a conviction for violation
857of former s. 316.028, former s. 316.1931, or former s. 860.01 is
858also considered a conviction for violation of s. 316.193. Also,
859a conviction of driving under the influence, driving while
860intoxicated, driving with an unlawful blood-alcohol level, or
861any other similar alcohol-related or drug-related traffic
862offense outside this state is considered a conviction for the
863purposes of this paragraph.

871in its discretion, orders reinstatement as provided by s.
872322.28(2)(d) or former s. 322.261(5):

878of a department-approved driver training or substance abuse
879education course, and a written request for a hearing under s.
880322.271. The permit shall not be issued if a record check by the
881department shows that the person has previously been convicted
882for a violation of s. 316.193, former s. 316.1931, former s.
883316.028, former s. 860.01, or a previous conviction outside this

1174level or breath-alcohol level of 0.08 or higher, the department
1175shall disqualify the person from operating a commercial motor

1189for a first offense or for a period of 1 year if he or she has
1190previously been disqualified, or his or her driving privilege
1191has been previously suspended, for a violation of s. 316.193.

1215submit; a copy of the citation issued to the person arrested;
1216and the officer's description of the person's field sobriety
1217test, if any. The failure of the officer to submit materials
1218within the 5-day period specified in this subsection or
1219subsection (1) shall not affect the department's ability to
1220consider any evidence submitted at or prior to the hearing. The

1236controlled substances in his or her body.
1237     2.  Whether the person was placed under lawful arrest for a
1238violation of s. 316.193.

1242pursuant to subsection (7) for both informal hearings under
1243subsection (4) and formal hearings under subsection (6), the
1244department shall:
1245     (b)  Sustain the disqualification for a period of 6 months
1246for a violation of s. 316.193 or for a period of 1 year if the
1247person has been previously disqualified from operating a
1248commercial motor vehicle or his or her driving privilege has

1304immobilization of the vessel that was operated by or in the
1305actual control of the defendant or any one vehicle registered in
1306the defendant's name at the time of impoundment or
1307immobilization, for a period of 30 days or for the unexpired
1308term of any lease or rental agreement that expires within 30
1309days. The impoundment or immobilization must not occur

1312accordance with paragraph (e) or paragraph (f). At least 48
1313hours of confinement must be consecutive.
1314     (c)  For the third or subsequent conviction for an offense
1315that occurs within a period of 10 years after the date of a
1316prior conviction for violation of this section, the court shall
1317order imprisonment for not less than 30 days. The court must
1318also, as a condition of probation, order the impoundment or
1319immobilization of the vessel that was operated by or in the
1320actual control of the defendant or any one vehicle registered in
1321the defendant's name at the time of impoundment or
1322immobilization, for a period of 90 days or for the unexpired
1323term of any lease or rental agreement that expires within 90
1324days. The impoundment or immobilization must not occur
1325concurrently with the incarceration of the defendant. The
1326impoundment or immobilization order may be dismissed in
1327accordance with paragraph (e) or paragraph (f). At least 48
1328hours of confinement must be consecutive.
1329     (d)  The court must at the time of sentencing the defendant
1330issue an order for the impoundment or immobilization of a
1331vessel. Within 7 business days after the date that the court
1332issues the order of impoundment, and once again 30 business days
1333before the actual impoundment or immobilization of the vessel,
1334the clerk of the court must send notice by certified mail,
1335return receipt requested, to the registered owner of each
1336vessel, if the registered owner is a person other than the
1337defendant, and to each person of record claiming a lien against
1338the vessel.
1339     (e)  A person who owns but was not operating the vessel
1340when the offense occurred may submit to the court a police
1341report indicating that the vessel was stolen at the time of the
1342offense or documentation of having purchased the vessel after
1343the offense was committed from an entity other than the
1344defendant or the defendant's agent. If the court finds that the
1345vessel was stolen or that the sale was not made to circumvent
1346the order and allow the defendant continued access to the
1347vessel, the order must be dismissed and the owner of the vessel
1348will incur no costs. If the court denies the request to dismiss
1349the order of impoundment or immobilization, the petitioner may
1350request an evidentiary hearing.
1351     (f)  A person who owns but was not operating the vessel
1352when the offense occurred, and whose vessel was stolen or who
1353purchased the vessel after the offense was committed directly
1354from the defendant or the defendant's agent, may request an
1355evidentiary hearing to determine whether the impoundment or
1356immobilization should occur. If the court finds that either the
1357vessel was stolen or the purchase was made without knowledge of
1358the offense, that the purchaser had no relationship to the
1359defendant other than through the transaction, and that such
1360purchase would not circumvent the order and allow the defendant
1361continued access to the vessel, the order must be dismissed and
1362the owner of the vessel will incur no costs.
1363     (g)  All costs and fees for the impoundment or
1364immobilization, including the cost of notification, must be paid
1365by the owner of the vessel or, if the vessel is leased or
1366rented, by the person leasing or renting the vessel, unless the
1367impoundment or immobilization order is dismissed.
1368     (h)  The person who owns a vessel that is impounded or
1369immobilized under this paragraph, or a person who has a lien of
1370record against such a vessel and who has not requested a review
1371of the impoundment pursuant to paragraph (e) or paragraph (f),
1372may, within 10 days after the date that person has knowledge of
1373the location of the vessel, file a complaint in the county in
1374which the owner resides to determine whether the vessel was
1375wrongfully taken or withheld from the owner or lienholder. Upon
1376the filing of a complaint, the owner or lienholder may have the
1377vessel released by posting with the court a bond or other
1378adequate security equal to the amount of the costs and fees for
1379impoundment or immobilization, including towing or storage, to
1380ensure the payment of the costs and fees if the owner or
1381lienholder does not prevail. When the bond is posted and the fee
1382is paid as set forth in s. 28.24, the clerk of the court shall
1383issue a certificate releasing the vessel. At the time of
1384release, after reasonable inspection, the owner or lienholder
1385must give a receipt to the towing or storage company indicating
1386any loss or damage to the vessel or to the contents of the
1387vessel.
1388     (i)  A defendant, in the court's discretion, may be
1389required to serve all or any portion of a term of imprisonment
1390to which the defendant has been sentenced pursuant to this
1391section in a residential alcoholism treatment program or a
1392residential drug abuse treatment program. Any time spent in such
1393a program must be credited by the court toward the term of
1394imprisonment.
1395
1396For the purposes of this section, any conviction for a violation
1397of s. 316.193, a previous conviction for the violation of former
1398s. 316.1931, former s. 860.01, or former s. 316.028, or a
1399previous conviction outside this state for driving under the
1400influence, driving while intoxicated, driving with an unlawful
1401blood-alcohol level, driving with an unlawful breath-alcohol
1402level, or any other similar alcohol-related or drug-related
1403traffic offense, is also considered a previous conviction for
1404violation of this section.
1405     Section 33.  For the purpose of incorporating the amendment

1433     Section 34.  For the purpose of incorporating the amendment
1434to section 316.193, Florida Statutes, in a reference thereto,
1435paragraph (c) of subsection (17) of section 440.02, Florida
1436Statutes, is reenacted to read:
1437     440.02  Definitions.--When used in this chapter, unless the
1438context clearly requires otherwise, the following terms shall
1439have the following meanings:
1440     (17)
1441     (c)  "Employment" does not include service performed by or
1442as:
1443     1.  Domestic servants in private homes.
1444     2.  Agricultural labor performed on a farm in the employ of
1445a bona fide farmer, or association of farmers, that employs 5 or
1446fewer regular employees and that employs fewer than 12 other
1447employees at one time for seasonal agricultural labor that is
1448completed in less than 30 days, provided such seasonal
1449employment does not exceed 45 days in the same calendar year.
1450The term "farm" includes stock, dairy, poultry, fruit, fur-
1451bearing animals, fish, and truck farms, ranches, nurseries, and
1452orchards. The term "agricultural labor" includes field foremen,
1453timekeepers, checkers, and other farm labor supervisory
1454personnel.
1455     3.  Professional athletes, such as professional boxers,
1456wrestlers, baseball, football, basketball, hockey, polo, tennis,
1457jai alai, and similar players, and motorsports teams competing
1458in a motor racing event as defined in s. 549.08.
1459     4.  Labor under a sentence of a court to perform community
1460services as provided in s. 316.193.
1461     5.  State prisoners or county inmates, except those
1462performing services for private employers or those enumerated in
1463s. 948.036(1).
1464     Section 35.  For the purpose of incorporating the amendment
1465to section 316.193, Florida Statutes, in a reference thereto,
1466paragraph (b) of subsection (7) of section 440.09, Florida
1467Statutes, is reenacted to read:
1468     440.09  Coverage.--
1469     (7)
1470     (b)  If the employee has, at the time of the injury, a
1471blood alcohol level equal to or greater than the level specified
1472in s. 316.193, or if the employee has a positive confirmation of
1473a drug as defined in this act, it is presumed that the injury
1474was occasioned primarily by the intoxication of, or by the
1475influence of the drug upon, the employee. If the employer has
1476implemented a drug-free workplace, this presumption may be
1477rebutted only by evidence that there is no reasonable hypothesis
1478that the intoxication or drug influence contributed to the
1479injury. In the absence of a drug-free workplace program, this
1480presumption may be rebutted by clear and convincing evidence
1481that the intoxication or influence of the drug did not
1482contribute to the injury. Percent by weight of alcohol in the
1483blood must be based upon grams of alcohol per 100 milliliters of
1484blood. If the results are positive, the testing facility must
1485maintain the specimen for a minimum of 90 days. Blood serum may
1486be used for testing purposes under this chapter; however, if
1487this test is used, the presumptions under this section do not
1488arise unless the blood alcohol level is proved to be medically
1489and scientifically equivalent to or greater than the comparable
1490blood alcohol level that would have been obtained if the test
1491were based on percent by weight of alcohol in the blood.
1492However, if, before the accident, the employer had actual
1493knowledge of and expressly acquiesced in the employee's presence
1494at the workplace while under the influence of such alcohol or
1495drug, the presumptions specified in this subsection do not
1496apply.
1497     Section 36.  For the purpose of incorporating the amendment
1498to section 316.193, Florida Statutes, in a reference thereto,
1499paragraph (d) of subsection (1) of section 493.6106, Florida
1500Statutes, is reenacted to read:
1501     493.6106  License requirements; posting.--
1502     (1)  Each individual licensed by the department must:
1503     (d)  Not be a chronic and habitual user of alcoholic

1512currently impaired and has successfully completed a
1513rehabilitation course.

1521chapter 648, any surety insurer identified in a guaranteed

1552similar law of another state, within 3 years of a previous
1553conviction of such section, or similar law of another state,
1554even though the first violation may have occurred prior to the
1555date on which the application was submitted;
1556     Section 39.  For the purpose of incorporating the amendment
1557to section 316.193, Florida Statutes, in a reference thereto,

1572attorney from the surety insurer for its licensed general lines
1573agents is authorization for such agent to execute the bail bond.
1574     Section 40.  For the purpose of incorporating the amendment
1575to section 316.193, Florida Statutes, in references thereto,
1576paragraph (c) of subsection (4) of section 907.041, Florida
1577Statutes, is reenacted to read:
1578     907.041  Pretrial detention and release.--
1579     (4)  PRETRIAL DETENTION.--
1580     (c)  The court may order pretrial detention if it finds a
1581substantial probability, based on a defendant's past and present
1582patterns of behavior, the criteria in s. 903.046, and any other
1583relevant facts, that any of the following circumstances exists:
1584     1.  The defendant has previously violated conditions of
1585release and that no further conditions of release are reasonably
1586likely to assure the defendant's appearance at subsequent
1587proceedings;
1588     2.  The defendant, with the intent to obstruct the judicial
1589process, has threatened, intimidated, or injured any victim,
1590potential witness, juror, or judicial officer, or has attempted
1591or conspired to do so, and that no condition of release will
1592reasonably prevent the obstruction of the judicial process;
1593     3.  The defendant is charged with trafficking in controlled
1594substances as defined by s. 893.135, that there is a substantial
1595probability that the defendant has committed the offense, and
1596that no conditions of release will reasonably assure the
1597defendant's appearance at subsequent criminal proceedings; or
1598     4.  The defendant is charged with DUI manslaughter, as
1599defined by s. 316.193, and that there is a substantial
1600probability that the defendant committed the crime and that the
1601defendant poses a threat of harm to the community; conditions
1602that would support a finding by the court pursuant to this
1603subparagraph that the defendant poses a threat of harm to the
1604community include, but are not limited to, any of the following:
1605     a.  The defendant has previously been convicted of any
1606crime under s. 316.193, or of any crime in any other state or
1607territory of the United States that is substantially similar to
1608any crime under s. 316.193;
1609     b.  The defendant was driving with a suspended driver's
1610license when the charged crime was committed; or
1611     c.  The defendant has previously been found guilty of, or
1612has had adjudication of guilt withheld for, driving while the
1613defendant's driver's license was suspended or revoked in
1614violation of s. 322.34;
1615     5.  The defendant poses the threat of harm to the
1616community. The court may so conclude, if it finds that the
1617defendant is presently charged with a dangerous crime, that
1618there is a substantial probability that the defendant committed
1619such crime, that the factual circumstances of the crime indicate
1620a disregard for the safety of the community, and that there are
1621no conditions of release reasonably sufficient to protect the
1622community from the risk of physical harm to persons.
1623     6.  The defendant was on probation, parole, or other
1624release pending completion of sentence or on pretrial release
1625for a dangerous crime at the time the current offense was
1626committed; or
1627     7.  The defendant has violated one or more conditions of
1628pretrial release or bond for the offense currently before the
1629court and the violation, in the discretion of the court,
1630supports a finding that no conditions of release can reasonably
1631protect the community from risk of physical harm to persons or
1632assure the presence of the accused at trial.
1633     Section 41.  For the purpose of incorporating the
1634amendments to sections 316.193 and 327.35, Florida Statutes, in
