  2         An act relating to public sheltering of sexual

  3         offenders and predators; amending s. 252.385,

  4         F.S.; requiring each county to plan for

  9  Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Florida:

10  

11         Section 1.  Subsection (5) is added to section 252.385,

12  Florida Statutes, to read:

13         252.385  Public shelter space.--

14         (5)  Each county shall develop a plan for sufficient

15  separate and exclusive evacuation shelter space for

16  individuals subject to registration as sexual offenders under

17  s. 943.0435 or designated as sexual predators under s. 775.21

18  in the event of a hurricane or other natural disaster that

19  requires public sheltering. However, this subsection does not

20  prohibit a county from using a designated area within the same

21  building or room that is used to shelter the general public.

22         Section 2.  This act shall take effect January 1, 2007.

23  

24          STATEMENT OF SUBSTANTIAL CHANGES CONTAINED IN
                       COMMITTEE SUBSTITUTE FOR
25                            CS/SB 638

26                                 

27  The committee substitute for committee substitute amends the
    title to reflect that a county's plan to provide separate and
28  exclusive shelter space for sexual offenders and predators
    does not require such space to be in a public evacuation
29  shelter.
