(3) LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS AND PURPOSE; LEGISLATIVE INTENT.--
11
(b) The high level of threat that a sexual predator
12
presents to the public safety, and the long-term effects suffered
13
by victims of sex offenses, provide the state with sufficient
14
justification to implement a strategy that includes:
15
1. Incarcerating sexual predators and maintaining adequate
16
facilities to ensure that decisions to release sexual predators
17
into the community are not made on the basis of inadequate space.
18
2. Providing for specialized supervision of sexual
19
predators who are in the community by specially trained probation
20
officers with low caseloads, as described in ss. 947.1405(7) and
21
948.30. The sexual predator is subject to specified terms and
22
conditions implemented at sentencing or at the time of release
23
from incarceration, with a requirement that only those sexual
24
predators found to be indigent may defer payment pursuant to s.
25
28.246 of all or part of the costs in accordance with the
26
provisions of that section who are financially able must pay all
27
or part of the costs of supervision.
28
3. Requiring the registration of sexual predators, with a
29
requirement that complete and accurate information be maintained
30
and accessible for use by law enforcement authorities,
31
communities, and the public.
32
4. Providing for community and public notification
33
concerning the presence of sexual predators.
34
5. Prohibiting sexual predators from working with children,

have committed, or has pled nolo contendere or guilty to,
39
regardless of adjudication, any violation, or attempted
40
violation, of s. 787.01, s. 787.02, or s. 787.025(2)(c), where
41
the victim is a minor and the defendant is not the victim's
42
parent or guardian; s. 794.011(2), (3), (4), (5), or (8) s.
43
794.011, excluding s. 794.011(10); s. 794.05; s. 796.03; s.
44
796.035; s. 800.04; s. 827.071; s. 847.0133; s. 847.0145; or s.

56
convicted of certain sexual offenses; certain local ordinances
57
preempted and repealed.--The adoption of residency distance
58
limitations for persons convicted of sexual offenses, including,
59
but not limited to, violations of s. 787.01, s. 787.02, s.
60

68
governing body of a county or municipality, may, upon the written
69
recommendation of the chief law enforcement officer of such
70
county or municipality and upon a finding of public necessity by
71
said governing body, adopt by a 2/3 vote an ordinance that
72
increases the distance limitations contained in s. 794.065 up to
73
a maximum distance of 2,000 feet. Any person who is subject to
74
the residency distance limitations in s. 794.065, s. 947.1405, or
75
s. 948.30 who changes his or her place of residence after July 1,
76
2009, is subject to the residency distance limitations adopted
77
pursuant to such county or municipal ordinance.

164
947.1405 Conditional release program.--
165
(2)(a) Any inmate who:
166
1.(a) Is convicted of a crime committed on or after October
167
1, 1988, and before January 1, 1994, and any inmate who is
168
convicted of a crime committed on or after January 1, 1994, which
169
crime is or was contained in category 1, category 2, category 3,
170
or category 4 of Rule 3.701 and Rule 3.988, Florida Rules of
171
Criminal Procedure (1993), and who has served at least one prior
172
felony commitment at a state or federal correctional institution;
173
2.(b) Is sentenced as a habitual or violent habitual
174
offender or a violent career criminal pursuant to s. 775.084; or
175
3.(c) Is found to be a sexual predator under s. 775.21 or
176
former s. 775.23,
177
178
shall, upon reaching the tentative release date or provisional
179
release date, whichever is earlier, as established by the
180
Department of Corrections, be released under supervision subject
181
to specified terms and conditions, including payment of the cost
182
of supervision pursuant to s. 948.09. Such supervision shall be
183
applicable to all sentences within the overall term of sentences
184
if an inmate's overall term of sentences includes one or more
185
sentences that are eligible for conditional release supervision
186
as provided herein.
187
(b) Effective July 1, 1994, and applicable for offenses
188
committed on or after that date, the commission may require, as a
189
condition of conditional release, that the releasee make payment
190
of the debt due and owing to a county or municipal detention
191
facility under s. 951.032 for medical care, treatment,
192
hospitalization, or transportation received by the releasee while
193
in that detention facility. The commission, in determining
194
whether to order such repayment and the amount of such repayment,
195
shall consider the amount of the debt, whether there was any
196
fault of the institution for the medical expenses incurred, the
197
financial resources of the releasee, the present and potential
198
future financial needs and earning ability of the releasee, and
199
dependents, and other appropriate factors.
200
(c) If any inmate placed on conditional release supervision
201
is also subject to probation or community control, resulting from
202
a probationary or community control split sentence within the
203
overall term of sentences, the Department of Corrections shall
204
supervise such person according to the conditions imposed by the
205
court and the commission shall defer to such supervision. If the
206
court revokes probation or community control and resentences the
207
offender to a term of incarceration, such revocation also
208
constitutes a sufficient basis for the revocation of the
209
conditional release supervision on any nonprobationary or
210
noncommunity control sentence without further hearing by the
211
commission. If any such supervision on any nonprobationary or
212
noncommunity control sentence is revoked, such revocation may
213
result in a forfeiture of all gain-time, and the commission may
214
revoke the resulting deferred conditional release supervision or
215
take other action it considers appropriate. If the term of
216
conditional release supervision exceeds that of the probation or
217
community control, then, upon expiration of the probation or
218
community control, authority for the supervision shall revert to
219
the commission and the supervision shall be subject to the
220
conditions imposed by the commission.
221
(d) A panel of no fewer than two commissioners shall
222
establish the terms and conditions of any such release. If the
223
offense was a controlled substance violation, the conditions
224
shall include a requirement that the offender submit to random
225
substance abuse testing intermittently throughout the term of
226
conditional release supervision, upon the direction of the
227
correctional probation officer as defined in s. 943.10(3). The
228
commission shall also determine whether the terms and conditions
229
of such release have been violated and whether such violation
230
warrants revocation of the conditional release.
231
(7)(a) Any inmate who is convicted of a crime committed on
232
or after October 1, 1995, or who has been previously convicted of
233
a crime committed on or after October 1, 1995, in violation of
234
chapter 794, s. 800.04, s. 827.071, or s. 847.0145, and is
235
subject to conditional release supervision, shall have, in
236
addition to any other conditions imposed, the following special
237
conditions imposed by the commission:
238
1. A mandatory curfew from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. The commission
239
may designate another 8-hour period if the offender's employment
240
precludes the above specified time, and such alternative is
241
recommended by the Department of Corrections. If the commission
242
determines that imposing a curfew would endanger the victim, the
243
commission may consider alternative sanctions.
244
2.a. If the victim was under the age of 18, a prohibition
245
on living within 1,000 feet of a school, child care facility day
246
care center, park as defined in s. 794.0701, playground,
247
designated public school bus stop, or other place where children
248
regularly congregate. A releasee who is subject to this
249
subparagraph may not relocate to a residence that is within 1,000
250
feet of a public school bus stop.
251
b. Beginning October 1, 2004, the commission or the
252
department may not approve a residence that is located within
253
1,000 feet of a school, child care facility day care center, park
254
as defined in s. 794.0701, playground, designated school bus
255
stop, or other place where children regularly congregate for any
256
releasee who is subject to this subparagraph. On October 1, 2004,
257
the department shall notify each affected school district of the
258
location of the residence of a releasee 30 days prior to release
259
and thereafter, if the releasee relocates to a new residence,
260
shall notify any affected school district of the residence of the
261
releasee within 30 days after relocation. If, on October 1, 2004,
262
any public school bus stop is located within 1,000 feet of the
263
existing residence of such releasee, the district school board
264
shall relocate that school bus stop. Beginning October 1, 2004, a
265
district school board may not establish or relocate a public
266
school bus stop within 1,000 feet of the residence of a releasee
267
who is subject to this subparagraph. The failure of the district
268
school board to comply with this subparagraph shall not result in
269
a violation of conditional release supervision.
270
3. Active participation in and successful completion of a
271
sex offender treatment program with qualified practitioners
272
specifically trained to treat sex offenders, at the releasee's
273
own expense. If a qualified practitioner is not available within
274
a 50-mile radius of the releasee's residence, the offender shall
275
participate in other appropriate therapy.
276
4. A prohibition on any contact with the victim, directly
277
or indirectly, including through a third person, unless approved
278
by the victim, the offender's therapist, and the sentencing
279
court.
280
5. If the victim was under the age of 18, a prohibition
281
against contact with children under the age of 18 without review
282
and approval by the commission. The commission may approve
283
supervised contact with a child under the age of 18 if the
284
approval is based upon a recommendation for contact issued by a
285
qualified practitioner who is basing the recommendation on a risk
286
assessment. Further, the sex offender must be currently enrolled
287
in or have successfully completed a sex offender therapy program.
288
The commission may not grant supervised contact with a child if
289
the contact is not recommended by a qualified practitioner and
290
may deny supervised contact with a child at any time. When
291
considering whether to approve supervised contact with a child,
292
the commission must review and consider the following:
293
a. A risk assessment completed by a qualified practitioner.
294
The qualified practitioner must prepare a written report that
295
must include the findings of the assessment and address each of
296
the following components:

(II) The sex offender's history of adult charges with
299
apparent sexual motivation;
300
(III) The sex offender's history of adult charges without
301
apparent sexual motivation;
302
(IV) The sex offender's history of juvenile charges,
303
whenever available;
304

305
including a consultation from the sex offender's treating, or
306
most recent treating, therapist;
307
(VI) The sex offender's current mental status;
308
(VII) The sex offender's mental health and substance abuse
309
history as provided by the Department of Corrections;
310
(VIII) The sex offender's personal, social, educational,
311
and work history;
312
(IX) The results of current psychological testing of the
313
sex offender if determined necessary by the qualified
314
practitioner;
315
(X) A description of the proposed contact, including the
316
location, frequency, duration, and supervisory arrangement;
317
(XI) The child's preference and relative comfort level with
318

319
(XII) The parent's or legal guardian's preference regarding
320
the proposed contact; and
321
(XIII) The qualified practitioner's opinion, along with the
322
basis for that opinion, as to whether the proposed contact would
323
likely pose significant risk of emotional or physical harm to the
324
child.
325
326
The written report of the assessment must be given to the
327
commission.
328
b. A recommendation made as a part of the risk-assessment
329
report as to whether supervised contact with the child should be
330
approved;
331
c. A written consent signed by the child's parent or legal
332
guardian, if the parent or legal guardian is not the sex
333
offender, agreeing to the sex offender having supervised contact
334
with the child after receiving full disclosure of the sex
335
offender's present legal status, past criminal history, and the
336
results of the risk assessment. The commission may not approve
337
contact with the child if the parent or legal guardian refuses to
338
give written consent for supervised contact;
339
d. A safety plan prepared by the qualified practitioner,
340
who provides treatment to the offender, in collaboration with the
341
sex offender, the child's parent or legal guardian, and the
342
child, when age appropriate, which details the acceptable
343
conditions of contact between the sex offender and the child. The
344
safety plan must be reviewed and approved by the Department of
345
Corrections before being submitted to the commission; and
346
e. Evidence that the child's parent or legal guardian, if
347
the parent or legal guardian is not the sex offender, understands
348
the need for and agrees to the safety plan and has agreed to
349
provide, or to designate another adult to provide, constant
350
supervision any time the child is in contact with the offender.
351
352
The commission may not appoint a person to conduct a risk
353
assessment and may not accept a risk assessment from a person who
354
has not demonstrated to the commission that he or she has met the
355
requirements of a qualified practitioner as defined in this
356
section.
357
6. If the victim was under age 18, a prohibition on working

373
and implements a safety plan for the offender's accessing or
374
using the Internet or other computer services.

416
(4) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, a
417
felony probationer or an offender in community control who is
418
arrested for violating his or her probation or community control
419
in a material respect may be taken before the court in the county
420
or circuit in which the probationer or offender was arrested.
421
That court shall advise him or her of such the charge of a
422
violation and, if such charge is admitted, shall cause him or her
423
to be brought before the court that granted the probation or
424
community control. If such the violation is not admitted by the
425
probationer or offender, the court may commit him or her or
426
release him or her with or without bail to await further hearing.
427
However, if the probationer or offender is under supervision for
428
any criminal offense proscribed in chapter 794, s. 800.04(4),
429
(5), (6), s. 827.071, or s. 847.0145, or is a registered sexual

433
but for the effective date of those sections, the court must make
434
a finding that the probationer or offender poses no is not a
435
danger to the public prior to release with or without bail. In
436
determining whether the offender poses no danger to the public
437
the danger posed by the offender's or probationer's release, the
438
court may consider the nature and circumstances of the violation
439
and any new offenses charged; the offender's or probationer's
440
past and present conduct, including convictions of crimes; any
441
record of arrests without conviction for crimes involving
442
violence or sexual crimes; any other evidence of allegations of
443
unlawful sexual conduct or the use of violence by the offender or

condition; his or her history and conduct during the probation or

448
any other previous supervisions, including disciplinary records
449
of previous incarcerations; the likelihood that the offender or
450
probationer will engage again in a criminal course of conduct;
451
the weight of the evidence against the offender or probationer;
452
and any other facts the court considers relevant. The court, as
453
soon as is practicable, shall give the probationer or offender an
454
opportunity to be fully heard on his or her behalf in person or
455
by counsel. After such the hearing, the court shall make findings
456
of fact and forward the findings to the court that granted the
457
probation or community control and to the probationer or offender
458
or his or her attorney. The findings of fact by the hearing court
459
are binding on the court that granted the probation or community
460
control. Upon the probationer or offender being brought before
461
it, the court that granted the probation or community control may
462
revoke, modify, or continue the probation or community control or
463
may place the probationer into community control as provided in
464
this section. However, the probationer or offender shall not be
465
released and shall not be admitted to bail, but shall be brought
466
before the court that granted the probation or community control
467
