242 | and potential future financial needs and earning ability of the |
243 | releasee, and dependents, and other appropriate factors. If any |
244 | inmate placed on conditional release supervision is also subject |
245 | to probation or community control, resulting from a probationary |
246 | or community control split sentence within the overall term of |
247 | sentences, the Department of Corrections shall supervise such |
248 | person according to the conditions imposed by the court and the |
249 | commission shall defer to such supervision. If the court |
250 | revokes probation or community control and resentences the |
251 | offender to a term of incarceration, such revocation also |
252 | constitutes a sufficient basis for the revocation of the |
253 | conditional release supervision on any nonprobationary or |
254 | noncommunity control sentence without further hearing by the |
255 | commission. If any such supervision on any nonprobationary or |
256 | noncommunity control sentence is revoked, such revocation may |
257 | result in a forfeiture of all gain-time, and the commission may |
258 | revoke the resulting deferred conditional release supervision or |
259 | take other action it considers appropriate. If the term of |
260 | conditional release supervision exceeds that of the probation or |
261 | community control, then, upon expiration of the probation or |
262 | community control, authority for the supervision shall revert to |
263 | the commission and the supervision shall be subject to the |
264 | conditions imposed by the commission. A panel of no fewer than |
265 | two commissioners shall establish the terms and conditions of |
266 | any such release. If the offense was a controlled substance |
267 | violation, the conditions shall include a requirement that the |
268 | offender submit to random substance abuse testing intermittently |
269 | throughout the term of conditional release supervision, upon the |
270 | direction of the correctional probation officer as defined in s. |
271 | 943.10(3). The commission shall also determine whether the terms |
272 | and conditions of such release have been violated and whether |
273 | such violation warrants revocation of the conditional release. |
274 | Section 6. This act shall take effect July 1, 2006. |
