Section 6. Subsection (2) and subsection (7) of section
201
947.1405, Florida Statutes, are amended to read:
202
947.1405 Conditional release program.--
203
(2)(a) Any inmate who:
204
1.(a) Is convicted of a crime committed on or after October
205
1, 1988, and before January 1, 1994, and any inmate who is
206
convicted of a crime committed on or after January 1, 1994, which
207
crime is or was contained in category 1, category 2, category 3,
208
or category 4 of Rule 3.701 and Rule 3.988, Florida Rules of
209
Criminal Procedure (1993), and who has served at least one prior
210
felony commitment at a state or federal correctional institution;
211
2.(b) Is sentenced as a habitual or violent habitual
212
offender or a violent career criminal pursuant to s. 775.084; or
213
3.(c) Is found to be a sexual predator under s. 775.21 or
214
former s. 775.23,
215
216
shall, upon reaching the tentative release date or provisional
217
release date, whichever is earlier, as established by the
218
Department of Corrections, be released under supervision subject
219
to specified terms and conditions, including payment of the cost
220
of supervision pursuant to s. 948.09. Such supervision shall be
221
applicable to all sentences within the overall term of sentences
222
if an inmate's overall term of sentences includes one or more
223
sentences that are eligible for conditional release supervision
224
as provided herein.
225
(b) Effective July 1, 1994, and applicable for offenses
226
committed on or after that date, the commission may require, as a
227
condition of conditional release, that the releasee make payment
228
of the debt due and owing to a county or municipal detention
229
facility under s. 951.032 for medical care, treatment,
230
hospitalization, or transportation received by the releasee while
231
in that detention facility. The commission, in determining
232
whether to order such repayment and the amount of such repayment,
233
shall consider the amount of the debt, whether there was any
234
fault of the institution for the medical expenses incurred, the
235
financial resources of the releasee, the present and potential
236
future financial needs and earning ability of the releasee, and
237
dependents, and other appropriate factors.
238
(c) If any inmate placed on conditional release supervision
239
is also subject to probation or community control, resulting from
240
a probationary or community control split sentence within the
241
overall term of sentences, the Department of Corrections shall
242
supervise such person according to the conditions imposed by the
243
court and the commission shall defer to such supervision. If the
244
court revokes probation or community control and resentences the
245
offender to a term of incarceration, such revocation also
246
constitutes a sufficient basis for the revocation of the
247
conditional release supervision on any nonprobationary or
248
noncommunity control sentence without further hearing by the
249
commission. If any such supervision on any nonprobationary or
250
noncommunity control sentence is revoked, such revocation may
251
result in a forfeiture of all gain-time, and the commission may
252
revoke the resulting deferred conditional release supervision or
253
take other action it considers appropriate. If the term of
254
conditional release supervision exceeds that of the probation or
255
community control, then, upon expiration of the probation or
256
community control, authority for the supervision shall revert to
257
the commission and the supervision shall be subject to the
258
conditions imposed by the commission.
259
(d) A panel of no fewer than two commissioners shall
260
establish the terms and conditions of any such release. If the
261
offense was a controlled substance violation, the conditions
262
shall include a requirement that the offender submit to random
263
substance abuse testing intermittently throughout the term of
264
conditional release supervision, upon the direction of the
265
correctional probation officer as defined in s. 943.10(3). The
266
commission shall also determine whether the terms and conditions
267
of such release have been violated and whether such violation
268
warrants revocation of the conditional release.
269
(7)(a) Any inmate who is convicted of a crime committed on
270
or after October 1, 1995, or who has been previously convicted of
271
a crime committed on or after October 1, 1995, in violation of
273
subject to conditional release supervision, shall have, in
274
addition to any other conditions imposed, the following special
275
conditions imposed by the commission:
276
1. A mandatory curfew from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. The commission
277
may designate another 8-hour period if the offender's employment
278
precludes the above specified time, and such alternative is
279
recommended by the Department of Corrections. If the commission
280
determines that imposing a curfew would endanger the victim, the
281
commission may consider alternative sanctions.
282
2.a. If the victim was under the age of 18, a prohibition
283
on living within 1,000 feet of a school, child care facility day
284
care center, park as defined in s. 794.0701, playground,
285
designated public school bus stop, or other place where children
286
regularly congregate. A releasee who is subject to this
287
subparagraph may not relocate to a residence that is within 1,000
288
feet of a public school bus stop.
289
b. Beginning October 1, 2004, the commission or the
290
department may not approve a residence that is located within
291
1,000 feet of a school, child care facility day care center, park
292
as defined in s. 794.0701, playground, designated school bus
293
stop, or other place where children regularly congregate for any
294
releasee who is subject to this subparagraph. On October 1, 2004,
295
the department shall notify each affected school district of the
296
location of the residence of a releasee 30 days prior to release
297
and thereafter, if the releasee relocates to a new residence,
298
shall notify any affected school district of the residence of the
299
releasee within 30 days after relocation. If, on October 1, 2004,
300
any public school bus stop is located within 1,000 feet of the
301
existing residence of such releasee, the district school board
302
shall relocate that school bus stop. Beginning October 1, 2004, a
303
district school board may not establish or relocate a public
304
school bus stop within 1,000 feet of the residence of a releasee
305
who is subject to this subparagraph. The failure of the district
306
school board to comply with this subparagraph shall not result in
307
a violation of conditional release supervision.
308
3. Active participation in and successful completion of a
309
sex offender treatment program with qualified practitioners
310
specifically trained to treat sex offenders, at the releasee's
311
own expense. If a qualified practitioner is not available within
312
a 50-mile radius of the releasee's residence, the offender shall
313
participate in other appropriate therapy.
314
4. A prohibition on any contact with the victim, directly
315
or indirectly, including through a third person, unless approved
316
by the victim, the offender's therapist, and the sentencing
317
court.
318
5. If the victim was under the age of 18, a prohibition
319
against contact with children under the age of 18 without review
320
and approval by the commission. The commission may approve
321
supervised contact with a child under the age of 18 if the
322
approval is based upon a recommendation for contact issued by a
323
qualified practitioner who is basing the recommendation on a risk
324
assessment. Further, the sex offender must be currently enrolled
325
in or have successfully completed a sex offender therapy program.
326
The commission may not grant supervised contact with a child if
327
the contact is not recommended by a qualified practitioner and
328
may deny supervised contact with a child at any time. When
329
considering whether to approve supervised contact with a child,
330
the commission must review and consider the following:
331
a. A risk assessment completed by a qualified practitioner.
332
The qualified practitioner must prepare a written report that
333
must include the findings of the assessment and address each of
334
the following components:

347
history as provided by the Department of Corrections;
348
(VIII) The sex offender's personal, social, educational,
349
and work history;
350
(IX) The results of current psychological testing of the
351
sex offender if determined necessary by the qualified
352
practitioner;
353
(X) A description of the proposed contact, including the
354
location, frequency, duration, and supervisory arrangement;
355
(XI) The child's preference and relative comfort level with
356
the proposed contact, when age-appropriate;
357
(XII) The parent's or legal guardian's preference regarding
358
the proposed contact; and
359
(XIII) The qualified practitioner's opinion, along with the
360
basis for that opinion, as to whether the proposed contact would
361
likely pose significant risk of emotional or physical harm to the
362
child.
363
364
The written report of the assessment must be given to the
365
commission.
366
b. A recommendation made as a part of the risk-assessment
367
report as to whether supervised contact with the child should be

guardian, if the parent or legal guardian is not the sex
371
offender, agreeing to the sex offender having supervised contact
372
with the child after receiving full disclosure of the sex
373
offender's present legal status, past criminal history, and the
374
results of the risk assessment. The commission may not approve
375
contact with the child if the parent or legal guardian refuses to
376
give written consent for supervised contact;
377
d. A safety plan prepared by the qualified practitioner,
378
who provides treatment to the offender, in collaboration with the
379
sex offender, the child's parent or legal guardian, and the
380
child, when age appropriate, which details the acceptable
381
conditions of contact between the sex offender and the child. The
382
safety plan must be reviewed and approved by the Department of
383
Corrections before being submitted to the commission; and
384
e. Evidence that the child's parent or legal guardian, if
385
the parent or legal guardian is not the sex offender, understands
386
the need for and agrees to the safety plan and has agreed to
387

388
supervision any time the child is in contact with the offender.
389
390
The commission may not appoint a person to conduct a risk
391
assessment and may not accept a risk assessment from a person who
392
has not demonstrated to the commission that he or she has met the
393
requirements of a qualified practitioner as defined in this
394
section.
395

minimum of one annual polygraph examination to obtain information
431
necessary for risk management and treatment and to reduce the sex
432
offender's denial mechanisms. The polygraph examination must be
433
conducted by a polygrapher trained specifically in the use of the
434
polygraph for the monitoring of sex offenders, where available,
435

436
polygraph examination shall not be used as evidence in a hearing
437
to prove that a violation of supervision has occurred.
438
2. Maintenance of a driving log and a prohibition against

(4) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, a
455
felony probationer or an offender in community control who is
456
arrested for violating his or her probation or community control
457
in a material respect may be taken before the court in the county
458
or circuit in which the probationer or offender was arrested.
459
That court shall advise him or her of such the charge of a
460
violation and, if such charge is admitted, shall cause him or her
461
to be brought before the court that granted the probation or
462
community control. If such the violation is not admitted by the
463
probationer or offender, the court may commit him or her or
464
release him or her with or without bail to await further hearing.
465
However, if the probationer or offender is under supervision for
466
any criminal offense proscribed in chapter 794, s. 800.04(4),
468
predator or a registered sexual offender, or is under supervision
469
for a criminal offense for which he or she would meet the
471
but for the effective date of those sections, the court must make
472
a finding that the probationer or offender poses no is not a
473
danger to the public prior to release with or without bail. In
474
determining whether the offender poses no danger to the public
475
the danger posed by the offender's or probationer's release, the
476
court may consider the nature and circumstances of the violation
477
and any new offenses charged; the offender's or probationer's
478
past and present conduct, including convictions of crimes; any
479
record of arrests without conviction for crimes involving
480
violence or sexual crimes; any other evidence of allegations of
481
unlawful sexual conduct or the use of violence by the offender or
482
probationer; the offender's or probationer's family ties, length
483
of residence in the community, employment history, and mental
484
condition; his or her history and conduct during the probation or
485
community control supervision from which the violation arises and
486
any other previous supervisions, including disciplinary records
487
of previous incarcerations; the likelihood that the offender or
488
probationer will engage again in a criminal course of conduct;
489
the weight of the evidence against the offender or probationer;
490
and any other facts the court considers relevant. The court, as
491
soon as is practicable, shall give the probationer or offender an
492
opportunity to be fully heard on his or her behalf in person or
493
by counsel. After such the hearing, the court shall make findings
494
of fact and forward the findings to the court that granted the
495
probation or community control and to the probationer or offender
496
or his or her attorney. The findings of fact by the hearing court
497
are binding on the court that granted the probation or community
498
control. Upon the probationer or offender being brought before
499
it, the court that granted the probation or community control may
500
revoke, modify, or continue the probation or community control or
501
may place the probationer into community control as provided in
502
this section. However, the probationer or offender shall not be
503
released and shall not be admitted to bail, but shall be brought
504
before the court that granted the probation or community control
505

506
