| 929 | requirement that the person register as a sexual offender or |
| 930 | sexual predator for the violation of s. 794.011, or s. 800.04, |
| 931 | or s. 847.01355, the registration requirement will not apply to |
| 932 | the person and the department shall remove all information about |
| 933 | the person from the public registry of sexual offenders and |
| 934 | sexual predators maintained by the department. However, the |
| 935 | removal of this information from the public registry does not |
| 936 | mean that the public is denied access to information about the |
| 937 | person's criminal history or record that is otherwise available |
| 938 | as a public record. |
| 939 | Section 25. Section 943.0585, Florida Statutes, is amended |
| 940 | to read: |
| 941 | 943.0585 Court-ordered expunction of criminal history |
| 942 | records.--The courts of this state have jurisdiction over their |
| 943 | own procedures, including the maintenance, expunction, and |
| 944 | correction of judicial records containing criminal history |
| 945 | information to the extent such procedures are not inconsistent |
| 946 | with the conditions, responsibilities, and duties established by |
| 947 | this section. Any court of competent jurisdiction may order a |
| 948 | criminal justice agency to expunge the criminal history record |
| 949 | of a minor or an adult who complies with the requirements of |
| 950 | this section. The court shall not order a criminal justice |
| 951 | agency to expunge a criminal history record until the person |
| 952 | seeking to expunge a criminal history record has applied for and |
| 953 | received a certificate of eligibility for expunction pursuant to |
| 954 | subsection (2). A criminal history record that relates to a |
| 955 | violation of s. 393.135, s. 394.4593, s. 787.025, chapter 794, |
| 956 | s. 796.03, s. 800.04, s. 810.14, s. 817.034, s. 825.1025, s. |
| 957 | 827.071, chapter 839, s. 847.0133, s. 847.0135, s. 847.01355, s. |
| 958 | 847.0145, s. 893.135, s. 916.1075, a violation enumerated in s. |
| 959 | 907.041, or any violation specified as a predicate offense for |
| 960 | registration as a sexual predator pursuant to s. 775.21, without |
| 961 | regard to whether that offense alone is sufficient to require |
| 962 | such registration, or for registration as a sexual offender |
| 963 | pursuant to s. 943.0435, may not be expunged, without regard to |
| 964 | whether adjudication was withheld, if the defendant was found |
| 965 | guilty of or pled guilty or nolo contendere to the offense, or |
| 966 | if the defendant, as a minor, was found to have committed, or |
| 967 | pled guilty or nolo contendere to committing, the offense as a |
| 968 | delinquent act. The court may only order expunction of a |
| 969 | criminal history record pertaining to one arrest or one incident |
| 970 | of alleged criminal activity, except as provided in this |
| 971 | section. The court may, at its sole discretion, order the |
| 972 | expunction of a criminal history record pertaining to more than |
| 973 | one arrest if the additional arrests directly relate to the |
| 974 | original arrest. If the court intends to order the expunction of |
| 975 | records pertaining to such additional arrests, such intent must |
| 976 | be specified in the order. A criminal justice agency may not |
| 977 | expunge any record pertaining to such additional arrests if the |
| 978 | order to expunge does not articulate the intention of the court |
| 979 | to expunge a record pertaining to more than one arrest. This |
| 980 | section does not prevent the court from ordering the expunction |
| 981 | of only a portion of a criminal history record pertaining to one |
| 982 | arrest or one incident of alleged criminal activity. |
| 983 | Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, a criminal justice |
| 984 | agency may comply with laws, court orders, and official requests |
| 985 | of other jurisdictions relating to expunction, correction, or |
| 986 | confidential handling of criminal history records or information |
| 987 | derived therefrom. This section does not confer any right to the |
| 988 | expunction of any criminal history record, and any request for |
| 989 | expunction of a criminal history record may be denied at the |
| 990 | sole discretion of the court. |
| 991 | (1) PETITION TO EXPUNGE A CRIMINAL HISTORY RECORD.--Each |
| 992 | petition to a court to expunge a criminal history record is |
| 993 | complete only when accompanied by: |
| 994 | (a) A valid certificate of eligibility for expunction |
| 995 | issued by the department pursuant to subsection (2). |
| 996 | (b) The petitioner's sworn statement attesting that the |
| 997 | petitioner: |
| 998 | 1. Has never, prior to the date on which the petition is |
| 999 | filed, been adjudicated guilty of a criminal offense or |
| 1000 | comparable ordinance violation, or been adjudicated delinquent |
| 1001 | for committing any felony or a misdemeanor specified in s. |
| 1002 | 943.051(3)(b). |
| 1003 | 2. Has not been adjudicated guilty of, or adjudicated |
| 1004 | delinquent for committing, any of the acts stemming from the |
| 1005 | arrest or alleged criminal activity to which the petition |
| 1006 | pertains. |
| 1007 | 3. Has never secured a prior sealing or expunction of a |
| 1008 | criminal history record under this section, former s. 893.14, |
| 1009 | former s. 901.33, or former s. 943.058, or from any jurisdiction |
| 1010 | outside the state, unless expunction is sought of a criminal |
| 1011 | history record previously sealed for 10 years pursuant to |
| 1012 | paragraph (2)(h) and the record is otherwise eligible for |
| 1013 | expunction. |
| 1014 | 4. Is eligible for such an expunction to the best of his |
| 1015 | or her knowledge or belief and does not have any other petition |
| 1016 | to expunge or any petition to seal pending before any court. |
| 1017 |
|
| 1018 | Any person who knowingly provides false information on such |
| 1019 | sworn statement to the court commits a felony of the third |
| 1020 | degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. |
| 1021 | 775.084. |
| 1022 | (2) CERTIFICATE OF ELIGIBILITY FOR EXPUNCTION.--Prior to |
| 1023 | petitioning the court to expunge a criminal history record, a |
| 1024 | person seeking to expunge a criminal history record shall apply |
| 1025 | to the department for a certificate of eligibility for |
| 1026 | expunction. The department shall, by rule adopted pursuant to |
| 1027 | chapter 120, establish procedures pertaining to the application |
| 1028 | for and issuance of certificates of eligibility for expunction. |
| 1029 | A certificate of eligibility for expunction is valid for 12 |
| 1030 | months after the date stamped on the certificate when issued by |
| 1031 | the department. After that time, the petitioner must reapply to |
| 1032 | the department for a new certificate of eligibility. Eligibility |
| 1033 | for a renewed certification of eligibility must be based on the |
| 1034 | status of the applicant and the law in effect at the time of the |
| 1035 | renewal application. The department shall issue a certificate of |
| 1036 | eligibility for expunction to a person who is the subject of a |
| 1037 | criminal history record if that person: |
| 1038 | (a) Has obtained, and submitted to the department, a |
| 1039 | written, certified statement from the appropriate state attorney |
| 1040 | or statewide prosecutor which indicates: |
| 1041 | 1. That an indictment, information, or other charging |
| 1042 | document was not filed or issued in the case. |
| 1043 | 2. That an indictment, information, or other charging |
| 1044 | document, if filed or issued in the case, was dismissed or nolle |
| 1045 | prosequi by the state attorney or statewide prosecutor, or was |
| 1046 | dismissed by a court of competent jurisdiction, and that none of |
| 1047 | the charges related to the arrest or alleged criminal activity |
| 1048 | to which the petition to expunge pertains resulted in a trial, |
| 1049 | without regard to whether the outcome of the trial was other |
| 1050 | than an adjudication of guilt. |
| 1051 | 3. That the criminal history record does not relate to a |
| 1052 | violation of s. 393.135, s. 394.4593, s. 787.025, chapter 794, |
| 1053 | s. 796.03, s. 800.04, s. 810.14, s. 817.034, s. 825.1025, s. |
| 1054 | 827.071, chapter 839, s. 847.0133, s. 847.0135, s. 847.01355, s. |
| 1055 | 847.0145, s. 893.135, s. 916.1075, a violation enumerated in s. |
| 1056 | 907.041, or any violation specified as a predicate offense for |
| 1057 | registration as a sexual predator pursuant to s. 775.21, without |
| 1058 | regard to whether that offense alone is sufficient to require |
| 1059 | such registration, or for registration as a sexual offender |
| 1060 | pursuant to s. 943.0435, where the defendant was found guilty |
| 1061 | of, or pled guilty or nolo contendere to any such offense, or |
| 1062 | that the defendant, as a minor, was found to have committed, or |
| 1063 | pled guilty or nolo contendere to committing, such an offense as |
| 1064 | a delinquent act, without regard to whether adjudication was |
| 1065 | withheld. |
| 1066 | (b) Remits a $75 processing fee to the department for |
| 1067 | placement in the Department of Law Enforcement Operating Trust |
| 1068 | Fund, unless such fee is waived by the executive director. |
| 1069 | (c) Has submitted to the department a certified copy of |
| 1070 | the disposition of the charge to which the petition to expunge |
| 1071 | pertains. |
| 1072 | (d) Has never, prior to the date on which the application |
| 1073 | for a certificate of eligibility is filed, been adjudicated |
| 1074 | guilty of a criminal offense or comparable ordinance violation, |
| 1075 | or been adjudicated delinquent for committing any felony or a |
| 1076 | misdemeanor specified in s. 943.051(3)(b). |
| 1077 | (e) Has not been adjudicated guilty of, or adjudicated |
| 1078 | delinquent for committing, any of the acts stemming from the |
| 1079 | arrest or alleged criminal activity to which the petition to |

| 1081 | (f) Has never secured a prior sealing or expunction of a |
| 1082 | criminal history record under this section, former s. 893.14, |
| 1083 | former s. 901.33, or former s. 943.058, unless expunction is |
| 1084 | sought of a criminal history record previously sealed for 10 |
| 1085 | years pursuant to paragraph (h) and the record is otherwise |
| 1086 | eligible for expunction. |
| 1087 | (g) Is no longer under court supervision applicable to the |
| 1088 | disposition of the arrest or alleged criminal activity to which |
| 1089 | the petition to expunge pertains. |
| 1090 | (h) Has previously obtained a court order sealing the |
| 1091 | record under this section, former s. 893.14, former s. 901.33, |
| 1092 | or former s. 943.058 for a minimum of 10 years because |
| 1093 | adjudication was withheld or because all charges related to the |
| 1094 | arrest or alleged criminal activity to which the petition to |
| 1095 | expunge pertains were not dismissed prior to trial, without |
| 1096 | regard to whether the outcome of the trial was other than an |
| 1097 | adjudication of guilt. The requirement for the record to have |
| 1098 | previously been sealed for a minimum of 10 years does not apply |
| 1099 | when a plea was not entered or all charges related to the arrest |
| 1100 | or alleged criminal activity to which the petition to expunge |
| 1101 | pertains were dismissed prior to trial. |
| 1102 | (3) PROCESSING OF A PETITION OR ORDER TO EXPUNGE.-- |
| 1103 | (a) In judicial proceedings under this section, a copy of |
| 1104 | the completed petition to expunge shall be served upon the |
| 1105 | appropriate state attorney or the statewide prosecutor and upon |
| 1106 | the arresting agency; however, it is not necessary to make any |
| 1107 | agency other than the state a party. The appropriate state |
| 1108 | attorney or the statewide prosecutor and the arresting agency |
| 1109 | may respond to the court regarding the completed petition to |
| 1110 | expunge. |
| 1111 | (b) If relief is granted by the court, the clerk of the |
| 1112 | court shall certify copies of the order to the appropriate state |
| 1113 | attorney or the statewide prosecutor and the arresting agency. |
| 1114 | The arresting agency is responsible for forwarding the order to |
| 1115 | any other agency to which the arresting agency disseminated the |
| 1116 | criminal history record information to which the order pertains. |
| 1117 | The department shall forward the order to expunge to the Federal |
| 1118 | Bureau of Investigation. The clerk of the court shall certify a |
| 1119 | copy of the order to any other agency which the records of the |
| 1120 | court reflect has received the criminal history record from the |
| 1121 | court. |
| 1122 | (c) For an order to expunge entered by a court prior to |
| 1123 | July 1, 1992, the department shall notify the appropriate state |
| 1124 | attorney or statewide prosecutor of an order to expunge which is |
| 1125 | contrary to law because the person who is the subject of the |
| 1126 | record has previously been convicted of a crime or comparable |
| 1127 | ordinance violation or has had a prior criminal history record |
| 1128 | sealed or expunged. Upon receipt of such notice, the appropriate |
| 1129 | state attorney or statewide prosecutor shall take action, within |
| 1130 | 60 days, to correct the record and petition the court to void |
| 1131 | the order to expunge. The department shall seal the record until |
| 1132 | such time as the order is voided by the court. |
| 1133 | (d) On or after July 1, 1992, the department or any other |
| 1134 | criminal justice agency is not required to act on an order to |
| 1135 | expunge entered by a court when such order does not comply with |
| 1136 | the requirements of this section. Upon receipt of such an order, |
| 1137 | the department must notify the issuing court, the appropriate |
| 1138 | state attorney or statewide prosecutor, the petitioner or the |
| 1139 | petitioner's attorney, and the arresting agency of the reason |
| 1140 | for noncompliance. The appropriate state attorney or statewide |
| 1141 | prosecutor shall take action within 60 days to correct the |
| 1142 | record and petition the court to void the order. No cause of |
| 1143 | action, including contempt of court, shall arise against any |
| 1144 | criminal justice agency for failure to comply with an order to |
| 1145 | expunge when the petitioner for such order failed to obtain the |
| 1146 | certificate of eligibility as required by this section or such |
| 1147 | order does not otherwise comply with the requirements of this |
| 1148 | section. |
| 1149 | (4) EFFECT OF CRIMINAL HISTORY RECORD EXPUNCTION.--Any |
| 1150 | criminal history record of a minor or an adult which is ordered |
| 1151 | expunged by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to this |
| 1152 | section must be physically destroyed or obliterated by any |
| 1153 | criminal justice agency having custody of such record; except |
| 1154 | that any criminal history record in the custody of the |
| 1155 | department must be retained in all cases. A criminal history |
| 1156 | record ordered expunged that is retained by the department is |
| 1157 | confidential and exempt from the provisions of s. 119.07(1) and |
| 1158 | s. 24(a), Art. I of the State Constitution and not available to |
| 1159 | any person or entity except upon order of a court of competent |
| 1160 | jurisdiction. A criminal justice agency may retain a notation |
| 1161 | indicating compliance with an order to expunge. |
| 1162 | (a) The person who is the subject of a criminal history |
| 1163 | record that is expunged under this section or under other |
| 1164 | provisions of law, including former s. 893.14, former s. 901.33, |
| 1165 | and former s. 943.058, may lawfully deny or fail to acknowledge |
| 1166 | the arrests covered by the expunged record, except when the |
| 1167 | subject of the record: |
| 1168 | 1. Is a candidate for employment with a criminal justice |
| 1169 | agency; |
| 1170 | 2. Is a defendant in a criminal prosecution; |
| 1171 | 3. Concurrently or subsequently petitions for relief under |
| 1172 | this section or s. 943.059; |
| 1173 | 4. Is a candidate for admission to The Florida Bar; |
| 1174 | 5. Is seeking to be employed or licensed by or to contract |
| 1175 | with the Department of Children and Family Services or the |

| 1177 | contractor or licensee in a sensitive position having direct |
| 1178 | contact with children, the developmentally disabled, the aged, |
| 1179 | or the elderly as provided in s. 110.1127(3), s. 393.063, s. |
| 1180 | 394.4572(1), s. 397.451, s. 402.302(3), s. 402.313(3), s. |
| 1181 | 409.175(2)(i), s. 415.102(4), chapter 916, s. 985.644, chapter |
| 1182 | 400, or chapter 429; |
| 1183 | 6. Is seeking to be employed or licensed by the Department |
| 1184 | of Education, any district school board, any university |
| 1185 | laboratory school, any charter school, any private or parochial |
| 1186 | school, or any local governmental entity that licenses child |
| 1187 | care facilities; or |
| 1188 | 7. Is seeking authorization from a Florida seaport |
| 1189 | identified in s. 311.09 for employment within or access to one |
| 1190 | or more of such seaports pursuant to s. 311.12 or s. 311.125. |
| 1191 | (b) Subject to the exceptions in paragraph (a), a person |
| 1192 | who has been granted an expunction under this section, former s. |
| 1193 | 893.14, former s. 901.33, or former s. 943.058 may not be held |
| 1194 | under any provision of law of this state to commit perjury or to |
| 1195 | be otherwise liable for giving a false statement by reason of |
| 1196 | such person's failure to recite or acknowledge an expunged |
| 1197 | criminal history record. |
| 1198 | (c) Information relating to the existence of an expunged |
| 1199 | criminal history record which is provided in accordance with |
| 1200 | paragraph (a) is confidential and exempt from the provisions of |
| 1201 | s. 119.07(1) and s. 24(a), Art. I of the State Constitution, |
| 1202 | except that the department shall disclose the existence of a |
| 1203 | criminal history record ordered expunged to the entities set |
| 1204 | forth in subparagraphs (a)1., 4., 5., 6., and 7. for their |
| 1205 | respective licensing, access authorization, and employment |
| 1206 | purposes, and to criminal justice agencies for their respective |
| 1207 | criminal justice purposes. It is unlawful for any employee of an |
| 1208 | entity set forth in subparagraph (a)1., subparagraph (a)4., |
| 1209 | subparagraph (a)5., subparagraph (a)6., or subparagraph (a)7. to |
| 1210 | disclose information relating to the existence of an expunged |
| 1211 | criminal history record of a person seeking employment, access |
| 1212 | authorization, or licensure with such entity or contractor, |
| 1213 | except to the person to whom the criminal history record relates |
| 1214 | or to persons having direct responsibility for employment, |
| 1215 | access authorization, or licensure decisions. Any person who |
| 1216 | violates this paragraph commits a misdemeanor of the first |
| 1217 | degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083. |
| 1218 | (5) STATUTORY REFERENCES.--Any reference to any other |
| 1219 | chapter, section, or subdivision of the Florida Statutes in this |
| 1220 | section constitutes a general reference under the doctrine of |
| 1221 | incorporation by reference. |
| 1222 | Section 26. Section 943.059, Florida Statutes, is amended |
| 1223 | to read: |
| 1224 | 943.059 Court-ordered sealing of criminal history |
| 1225 | records.--The courts of this state shall continue to have |
| 1226 | jurisdiction over their own procedures, including the |
| 1227 | maintenance, sealing, and correction of judicial records |
| 1228 | containing criminal history information to the extent such |
| 1229 | procedures are not inconsistent with the conditions, |
| 1230 | responsibilities, and duties established by this section. Any |
| 1231 | court of competent jurisdiction may order a criminal justice |
| 1232 | agency to seal the criminal history record of a minor or an |
| 1233 | adult who complies with the requirements of this section. The |
| 1234 | court shall not order a criminal justice agency to seal a |
| 1235 | criminal history record until the person seeking to seal a |
| 1236 | criminal history record has applied for and received a |
| 1237 | certificate of eligibility for sealing pursuant to subsection |
| 1238 | (2). A criminal history record that relates to a violation of s. |
| 1239 | 393.135, s. 394.4593, s. 787.025, chapter 794, s. 796.03, s. |
| 1240 | 800.04, s. 810.14, s. 817.034, s. 825.1025, s. 827.071, chapter |
| 1241 | 839, s. 847.0133, s. 847.0135, s. 847.01355, s. 847.0145, s. |
| 1242 | 893.135, s. 916.1075, a violation enumerated in s. 907.041, or |
| 1243 | any violation specified as a predicate offense for registration |
| 1244 | as a sexual predator pursuant to s. 775.21, without regard to |
| 1245 | whether that offense alone is sufficient to require such |
| 1246 | registration, or for registration as a sexual offender pursuant |
| 1247 | to s. 943.0435, may not be sealed, without regard to whether |
| 1248 | adjudication was withheld, if the defendant was found guilty of |
| 1249 | or pled guilty or nolo contendere to the offense, or if the |
| 1250 | defendant, as a minor, was found to have committed or pled |
| 1251 | guilty or nolo contendere to committing the offense as a |
| 1252 | delinquent act. The court may only order sealing of a criminal |
| 1253 | history record pertaining to one arrest or one incident of |
| 1254 | alleged criminal activity, except as provided in this section. |
| 1255 | The court may, at its sole discretion, order the sealing of a |
| 1256 | criminal history record pertaining to more than one arrest if |
| 1257 | the additional arrests directly relate to the original arrest. |
| 1258 | If the court intends to order the sealing of records pertaining |
| 1259 | to such additional arrests, such intent must be specified in the |
| 1260 | order. A criminal justice agency may not seal any record |
| 1261 | pertaining to such additional arrests if the order to seal does |
| 1262 | not articulate the intention of the court to seal records |
| 1263 | pertaining to more than one arrest. This section does not |
| 1264 | prevent the court from ordering the sealing of only a portion of |
| 1265 | a criminal history record pertaining to one arrest or one |
| 1266 | incident of alleged criminal activity. Notwithstanding any law |
| 1267 | to the contrary, a criminal justice agency may comply with laws, |
| 1268 | court orders, and official requests of other jurisdictions |
| 1269 | relating to sealing, correction, or confidential handling of |
| 1270 | criminal history records or information derived therefrom. This |
| 1271 | section does not confer any right to the sealing of any criminal |
| 1272 | history record, and any request for sealing a criminal history |
| 1273 | record may be denied at the sole discretion of the court. |
| 1274 | (1) PETITION TO SEAL A CRIMINAL HISTORY RECORD.--Each |
| 1275 | petition to a court to seal a criminal history record is |
| 1276 | complete only when accompanied by: |
| 1277 | (a) A valid certificate of eligibility for sealing issued |

| 1342 | appropriate state attorney or the statewide prosecutor and upon |
| 1343 | the arresting agency; however, it is not necessary to make any |
| 1344 | agency other than the state a party. The appropriate state |
| 1345 | attorney or the statewide prosecutor and the arresting agency |
| 1346 | may respond to the court regarding the completed petition to |
| 1347 | seal. |
| 1348 | (b) If relief is granted by the court, the clerk of the |
| 1349 | court shall certify copies of the order to the appropriate state |
| 1350 | attorney or the statewide prosecutor and to the arresting |
| 1351 | agency. The arresting agency is responsible for forwarding the |
| 1352 | order to any other agency to which the arresting agency |
| 1353 | disseminated the criminal history record information to which |
| 1354 | the order pertains. The department shall forward the order to |
| 1355 | seal to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The clerk of the |
| 1356 | court shall certify a copy of the order to any other agency |
| 1357 | which the records of the court reflect has received the criminal |
| 1358 | history record from the court. |
| 1359 | (c) For an order to seal entered by a court prior to July |
| 1360 | 1, 1992, the department shall notify the appropriate state |
| 1361 | attorney or statewide prosecutor of any order to seal which is |
| 1362 | contrary to law because the person who is the subject of the |
| 1363 | record has previously been convicted of a crime or comparable |
| 1364 | ordinance violation or has had a prior criminal history record |
| 1365 | sealed or expunged. Upon receipt of such notice, the appropriate |
| 1366 | state attorney or statewide prosecutor shall take action, within |
| 1367 | 60 days, to correct the record and petition the court to void |
| 1368 | the order to seal. The department shall seal the record until |
| 1369 | such time as the order is voided by the court. |
| 1370 | (d) On or after July 1, 1992, the department or any other |
| 1371 | criminal justice agency is not required to act on an order to |
| 1372 | seal entered by a court when such order does not comply with the |
| 1373 | requirements of this section. Upon receipt of such an order, the |
| 1374 | department must notify the issuing court, the appropriate state |
| 1375 | attorney or statewide prosecutor, the petitioner or the |
| 1376 | petitioner's attorney, and the arresting agency of the reason |
| 1377 | for noncompliance. The appropriate state attorney or statewide |
| 1378 | prosecutor shall take action within 60 days to correct the |
| 1379 | record and petition the court to void the order. No cause of |
| 1380 | action, including contempt of court, shall arise against any |
| 1381 | criminal justice agency for failure to comply with an order to |
| 1382 | seal when the petitioner for such order failed to obtain the |
| 1383 | certificate of eligibility as required by this section or when |
| 1384 | such order does not comply with the requirements of this |
| 1385 | section. |
| 1386 | (e) An order sealing a criminal history record pursuant to |
| 1387 | this section does not require that such record be surrendered to |
| 1388 | the court, and such record shall continue to be maintained by |
| 1389 | the department and other criminal justice agencies. |

| 1517 | Statutes, is amended to read: |
| 1518 | 947.1405 Conditional release program.-- |
| 1519 | (7)(a) Any inmate who is convicted of a crime committed on |
| 1520 | or after October 1, 1995, or who has been previously convicted |
| 1521 | of a crime committed on or after October 1, 1995, in violation |

| 1524 | shall have, in addition to any other conditions imposed, the |
| 1525 | following special conditions imposed by the commission: |
| 1526 | 1. A mandatory curfew from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. The |
| 1527 | commission may designate another 8-hour period if the offender's |
| 1528 | employment precludes the above specified time, and such |
| 1529 | alternative is recommended by the Department of Corrections. If |
| 1530 | the commission determines that imposing a curfew would endanger |
| 1531 | the victim, the commission may consider alternative sanctions. |
| 1532 | 2. If the victim was under the age of 18, a prohibition on |
| 1533 | living within 1,000 feet of a school, day care center, park, |
| 1534 | playground, designated public school bus stop, or other place |
| 1535 | where children regularly congregate. A releasee who is subject |
| 1536 | to this subparagraph may not relocate to a residence that is |
| 1537 | within 1,000 feet of a public school bus stop. Beginning October |
| 1538 | 1, 2004, the commission or the department may not approve a |
| 1539 | residence that is located within 1,000 feet of a school, day |
| 1540 | care center, park, playground, designated school bus stop, or |
| 1541 | other place where children regularly congregate for any releasee |
| 1542 | who is subject to this subparagraph. On October 1, 2004, the |
| 1543 | department shall notify each affected school district of the |
| 1544 | location of the residence of a releasee 30 days prior to release |
| 1545 | and thereafter, if the releasee relocates to a new residence, |
| 1546 | shall notify any affected school district of the residence of |
| 1547 | the releasee within 30 days after relocation. If, on October 1, |
| 1548 | 2004, any public school bus stop is located within 1,000 feet of |
| 1549 | the existing residence of such releasee, the district school |
| 1550 | board shall relocate that school bus stop. Beginning October 1, |
| 1551 | 2004, a district school board may not establish or relocate a |
| 1552 | public school bus stop within 1,000 feet of the residence of a |
| 1553 | releasee who is subject to this subparagraph. The failure of the |
| 1554 | district school board to comply with this subparagraph shall not |
| 1555 | result in a violation of conditional release supervision. |
| 1556 | 3. Active participation in and successful completion of a |
| 1557 | sex offender treatment program with qualified practitioners |
| 1558 | specifically trained to treat sex offenders, at the releasee's |
| 1559 | own expense. If a qualified practitioner is not available within |
| 1560 | a 50-mile radius of the releasee's residence, the offender shall |
| 1561 | participate in other appropriate therapy. |
| 1562 | 4. A prohibition on any contact with the victim, directly |
| 1563 | or indirectly, including through a third person, unless approved |
| 1564 | by the victim, the offender's therapist, and the sentencing |
| 1565 | court. |
| 1566 | 5. If the victim was under the age of 18, a prohibition |
| 1567 | against contact with children under the age of 18 without review |
| 1568 | and approval by the commission. The commission may approve |
| 1569 | supervised contact with a child under the age of 18 if the |
| 1570 | approval is based upon a recommendation for contact issued by a |
| 1571 | qualified practitioner who is basing the recommendation on a |
| 1572 | risk assessment. Further, the sex offender must be currently |
| 1573 | enrolled in or have successfully completed a sex offender |
| 1574 | therapy program. The commission may not grant supervised contact |
| 1575 | with a child if the contact is not recommended by a qualified |
| 1576 | practitioner and may deny supervised contact with a child at any |
| 1577 | time. When considering whether to approve supervised contact |
| 1578 | with a child, the commission must review and consider the |
| 1579 | following: |
| 1580 | a. A risk assessment completed by a qualified |
| 1581 | practitioner. The qualified practitioner must prepare a written |
| 1582 | report that must include the findings of the assessment and |
| 1583 | address each of the following components: |
| 1584 | (I) The sex offender's current legal status; |
| 1585 | (II) The sex offender's history of adult charges with |
| 1586 | apparent sexual motivation; |
| 1587 | (III) The sex offender's history of adult charges without |
| 1588 | apparent sexual motivation; |
| 1589 | (IV) The sex offender's history of juvenile charges, |
| 1590 | whenever available; |
| 1591 | (V) The sex offender's offender treatment history, |
| 1592 | including a consultation from the sex offender's treating, or |
| 1593 | most recent treating, therapist; |
| 1594 | (VI) The sex offender's current mental status; |
| 1595 | (VII) The sex offender's mental health and substance abuse |
| 1596 | history as provided by the Department of Corrections; |
| 1597 | (VIII) The sex offender's personal, social, educational, |
| 1598 | and work history; |
| 1599 | (IX) The results of current psychological testing of the |
| 1600 | sex offender if determined necessary by the qualified |
| 1601 | practitioner; |
| 1602 | (X) A description of the proposed contact, including the |
| 1603 | location, frequency, duration, and supervisory arrangement; |
| 1604 | (XI) The child's preference and relative comfort level |
| 1605 | with the proposed contact, when age-appropriate; |
| 1606 | (XII) The parent's or legal guardian's preference |
| 1607 | regarding the proposed contact; and |
| 1608 | (XIII) The qualified practitioner's opinion, along with |
| 1609 | the basis for that opinion, as to whether the proposed contact |
| 1610 | would likely pose significant risk of emotional or physical harm |
| 1611 | to the child. |
| 1612 |
|
| 1613 | The written report of the assessment must be given to the |
| 1614 | commission. |
| 1615 | b. A recommendation made as a part of the risk-assessment |
| 1616 | report as to whether supervised contact with the child should be |
| 1617 | approved; |
| 1618 | c. A written consent signed by the child's parent or legal |
| 1619 | guardian, if the parent or legal guardian is not the sex |
| 1620 | offender, agreeing to the sex offender having supervised contact |
| 1621 | with the child after receiving full disclosure of the sex |
| 1622 | offender's present legal status, past criminal history, and the |
| 1623 | results of the risk assessment. The commission may not approve |
| 1624 | contact with the child if the parent or legal guardian refuses |
| 1625 | to give written consent for supervised contact; |
| 1626 | d. A safety plan prepared by the qualified practitioner, |
| 1627 | who provides treatment to the offender, in collaboration with |
| 1628 | the sex offender, the child's parent or legal guardian, and the |
| 1629 | child, when age appropriate, which details the acceptable |

| 1846 | offender shall participate in other appropriate therapy. |

| 1856 | who is basing the recommendation on a risk assessment. Further, |
| 1857 | the sex offender must be currently enrolled in or have |

| 1887 | k. The child's preference and relative comfort level with |
| 1888 | the proposed contact, when age appropriate; |
| 1889 | l. The parent's or legal guardian's preference regarding |
| 1890 | the proposed contact; and |

| 1893 | likely pose significant risk of emotional or physical harm to |
| 1894 | the child. |
| 1895 |
|
| 1896 | The written report of the assessment must be given to the court; |
| 1897 | 2. A recommendation made as a part of the risk assessment |
| 1898 | report as to whether supervised contact with the child should be |
| 1899 | approved; |

| 1901 | guardian, if the parent or legal guardian is not the sex |

| 1903 | with the child after receiving full disclosure of the sex |
| 1904 | offender's present legal status, past criminal history, and the |
| 1905 | results of the risk assessment. The court may not approve |
| 1906 | contact with the child if the parent or legal guardian refuses |
| 1907 | to give written consent for supervised contact; |
| 1908 | 4. A safety plan prepared by the qualified practitioner, |

| 1918 | constant supervision any time the child is in contact with the |
| 1919 | offender. |
| 1920 |
|
| 1921 | The court may not appoint a person to conduct a risk assessment |
| 1922 | and may not accept a risk assessment from a person who has not |
| 1923 | demonstrated to the court that he or she has met the |
| 1924 | requirements of a qualified practitioner as defined in this |
