66

the victim is a minor and the defendant is not the victim's

199

subsection (11) is added to that section, to read:

200

     947.1405  Conditional release program.--

201

     (2)(a) Any inmate who:

202

     1.(a) Is convicted of a crime committed on or after October

203

1, 1988, and before January 1, 1994, and any inmate who is

204

convicted of a crime committed on or after January 1, 1994, which

205

crime is or was contained in category 1, category 2, category 3,

206

or category 4 of Rule 3.701 and Rule 3.988, Florida Rules of

207

Criminal Procedure (1993), and who has served at least one prior

208

felony commitment at a state or federal correctional institution;

209

     2.(b) Is sentenced as a habitual or violent habitual

210

offender or a violent career criminal pursuant to s. 775.084; or

211

     3.(c) Is found to be a sexual predator under s. 775.21 or

212

former s. 775.23,

213

214

shall, upon reaching the tentative release date or provisional

215

release date, whichever is earlier, as established by the

216

Department of Corrections, be released under supervision subject

217

to specified terms and conditions, including payment of the cost

218

of supervision pursuant to s. 948.09. Such supervision shall be

219

applicable to all sentences within the overall term of sentences

220

if an inmate's overall term of sentences includes one or more

221

sentences that are eligible for conditional release supervision

222

as provided herein.

223

     (b) Effective July 1, 1994, and applicable for offenses

224

committed on or after that date, the commission may require, as a

225

condition of conditional release, that the releasee make payment

226

of the debt due and owing to a county or municipal detention

227

facility under s. 951.032 for medical care, treatment,

228

hospitalization, or transportation received by the releasee while

229

in that detention facility. The commission, in determining

230

whether to order such repayment and the amount of such repayment,

231

shall consider the amount of the debt, whether there was any

232

fault of the institution for the medical expenses incurred, the

233

financial resources of the releasee, the present and potential

234

future financial needs and earning ability of the releasee, and

235

dependents, and other appropriate factors.

236

     (c) If any inmate placed on conditional release supervision

237

is also subject to probation or community control, resulting from

238

a probationary or community control split sentence within the

239

overall term of sentences, the Department of Corrections shall

240

supervise such person according to the conditions imposed by the

241

court and the commission shall defer to such supervision. If the

242

court revokes probation or community control and resentences the

243

offender to a term of incarceration, such revocation also

244

constitutes a sufficient basis for the revocation of the

245

conditional release supervision on any nonprobationary or

246

noncommunity control sentence without further hearing by the

247

commission. If any such supervision on any nonprobationary or

248

noncommunity control sentence is revoked, such revocation may

249

result in a forfeiture of all gain-time, and the commission may

250

revoke the resulting deferred conditional release supervision or

251

take other action it considers appropriate. If the term of

252

conditional release supervision exceeds that of the probation or

253

community control, then, upon expiration of the probation or

254

community control, authority for the supervision shall revert to

255

the commission and the supervision shall be subject to the

256

conditions imposed by the commission.

257

     (d) A panel of no fewer than two commissioners shall

258

establish the terms and conditions of any such release. If the

259

offense was a controlled substance violation, the conditions

260

shall include a requirement that the offender submit to random

261

substance abuse testing intermittently throughout the term of

262

conditional release supervision, upon the direction of the

263

correctional probation officer as defined in s. 943.10(3). The

264

commission shall also determine whether the terms and conditions

265

of such release have been violated and whether such violation

266

warrants revocation of the conditional release.

267

     (7)(a)  Any inmate who is convicted of a crime committed on

268

or after October 1, 1995, or who has been previously convicted of

269

a crime committed on or after October 1, 1995, in violation of

270

chapter 794, s. 800.04, s. 827.071, or s. 847.0145, and is

271

subject to conditional release supervision, shall have, in

272

addition to any other conditions imposed, the following special

273

conditions imposed by the commission:

274

     1.  A mandatory curfew from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. The commission

275

may designate another 8-hour period if the offender's employment

276

precludes the above specified time, and such alternative is

277

recommended by the Department of Corrections. If the commission

278

determines that imposing a curfew would endanger the victim, the

279

commission may consider alternative sanctions.

280

     2.a. If the victim was under the age of 18, a prohibition

281

on living within 1,000 feet of a school, child care facility day

282

care center, park as defined in s. 794.0701, playground,

283

designated public school bus stop, or other place where children

284

regularly congregate. A releasee who is subject to this

285

subparagraph may not relocate to a residence that is within 1,000

286

feet of a public school bus stop.

287

     b. Beginning October 1, 2004, the commission or the

288

department may not approve a residence that is located within

289

1,000 feet of a school, child care facility day care center, park

290

as defined in s. 794.0701, playground, designated school bus

291

stop, or other place where children regularly congregate for any

292

releasee who is subject to this subparagraph. On October 1, 2004,

293

the department shall notify each affected school district of the

294

location of the residence of a releasee 30 days prior to release

295

and thereafter, if the releasee relocates to a new residence,

296

shall notify any affected school district of the residence of the

297

releasee within 30 days after relocation. If, on October 1, 2004,

298

any public school bus stop is located within 1,000 feet of the

299

existing residence of such releasee, the district school board

300

shall relocate that school bus stop. Beginning October 1, 2004, a

301

district school board may not establish or relocate a public

302

school bus stop within 1,000 feet of the residence of a releasee

303

who is subject to this subparagraph. The failure of the district

304

school board to comply with this subparagraph shall not result in

305

a violation of conditional release supervision.

306

     c. If the victim was under the age of 18, beginning October

307

1, 2008, neither the commission nor the department may approve a

308

residence located within 1,000 feet of any designated school bus

309

stop or within 1,500 feet of a school, child care facility, park

310

as defined in s. 794.0701, playground, or other place where

311

children regularly congregate for any releasee who is subject to

312

this subparagraph. The distance in this sub-subparagraph shall be

313

measured in a straight line from the offender's place of

314

residence to the nearest boundary line of any designated school

315

bus stop, school, child care facility, park as defined in s.

316

794.0701, playground, or other place where children regularly

317

congregate. The distance may not be measured by a pedestrian

318

route or automobile route.

319

     3.  Active participation in and successful completion of a

320

sex offender treatment program with qualified practitioners

321

specifically trained to treat sex offenders, at the releasee's

322

own expense. If a qualified practitioner is not available within

323

a 50-mile radius of the releasee's residence, the offender shall

324

participate in other appropriate therapy.

325

     4.  A prohibition on any contact with the victim, directly

326

or indirectly, including through a third person, unless approved

327

by the victim, the offender's therapist, and the sentencing

328

court.

329

     5.  If the victim was under the age of 18, a prohibition

330

against contact with children under the age of 18 without review

331

and approval by the commission. The commission may approve

332

supervised contact with a child under the age of 18 if the

333

approval is based upon a recommendation for contact issued by a

334

qualified practitioner who is basing the recommendation on a risk

335

assessment. Further, the sex offender must be currently enrolled

336

in or have successfully completed a sex offender therapy program.

337

The commission may not grant supervised contact with a child if

338

the contact is not recommended by a qualified practitioner and

339

may deny supervised contact with a child at any time. When

340

considering whether to approve supervised contact with a child,

341

the commission must review and consider the following:

342

     a.  A risk assessment completed by a qualified practitioner.

343

The qualified practitioner must prepare a written report that

344

must include the findings of the assessment and address each of

345

the following components:

346

     (I)  The sex offender's current legal status;

347

459

or cost of supervision.--

460

     (4)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, a

461

felony probationer or an offender in community control who is

462

arrested for violating his or her probation or community control

463

in a material respect may be taken before the court in the county

464

or circuit in which the probationer or offender was arrested.

465

That court shall advise him or her of such the charge of a

466

violation and, if such charge is admitted, shall cause him or her

467

to be brought before the court that granted the probation or

468

community control. If such the violation is not admitted by the

469

probationer or offender, the court may commit him or her or

470

release him or her with or without bail to await further hearing.

471

However, if the probationer or offender is under supervision for

472

477

but for the effective date of those sections, the court must make

478

a finding that the probationer or offender poses no is not a

479

danger to the public prior to release with or without bail. In

480

determining whether the offender poses no danger to the public

481

483

494

probationer will engage again in a criminal course of conduct;

495

the weight of the evidence against the offender or probationer;

496

and any other facts the court considers relevant. The court, as

497

soon as is practicable, shall give the probationer or offender an

498

opportunity to be fully heard on his or her behalf in person or

499

by counsel. After such the hearing, the court shall make findings

500

502

or his or her attorney. The findings of fact by the hearing court

503

are binding on the court that granted the probation or community

504

control. Upon the probationer or offender being brought before

505

it, the court that granted the probation or community control may

506

revoke, modify, or continue the probation or community control or

507

508

this section. However, the probationer or offender shall not be

509

released and shall not be admitted to bail, but shall be brought

510

511
