| 799 | violation of s. 794.011, or s. 800.04, or s. 847.0135(5), the |
| 800 | court shall order that the offender be prohibited from having |

| 803 | imposed. The court may reconsider the order upon the request of |
| 804 | the victim if the request is made at any time after the victim |
| 805 | has attained 18 years of age. In considering the request, the |
| 806 | court shall conduct an evidentiary hearing to determine whether |
| 807 | a change of circumstances has occurred which warrants a change |
| 808 | in the court order prohibiting contact and whether it is in the |
| 809 | best interest of the victim that the court order be modified or |
| 810 | rescinded. |
| 811 | (3) The punishment imposed under this section shall run |
| 812 | consecutive to any former sentence imposed for a conviction for |
| 813 | any offense under s. 794.011, or s. 800.04, or s. 847.0135(5). |

| 825 | Section 26. Subsections (1), (2), and (4) of section |
| 826 | 943.04354, Florida Statutes, are amended to read: |
| 827 | 943.04354 Removal of the requirement to register as a |
| 828 | sexual offender or sexual predator in special circumstances.-- |
| 829 | (1) For purposes of this section, a person shall be |
| 830 | considered for removal of the requirement to register as a |
| 831 | sexual offender or sexual predator only if the person: |
| 832 | (a) Was or will be convicted or adjudicated delinquent of |
| 833 | a violation of s. 794.011, or s. 800.04, or s. 847.0135(5) or |
| 834 | the person committed a violation of s. 794.011, or s. 800.04, or |
| 835 | s. 847.0135(5) for which adjudication of guilt was or will be |
| 836 | withheld, and the person does not have any other conviction, |
| 837 | adjudication of delinquency, or withhold of adjudication of |
| 838 | guilt for a violation of s. 794.011, or s. 800.04, or s. |
| 839 | 847.0135(5); |
| 840 | (b) Is required to register as a sexual offender or sexual |
| 841 | predator solely on the basis of this violation; and |
| 842 | (c) Is not more than 4 years older than the victim of this |
| 843 | violation who was 14 years of age or older but not more than 17 |
| 844 | years of age at the time the person committed this violation. |
| 845 | (2) If a person meets the criteria in subsection (1) and |
| 846 | the violation of s. 794.011, or s. 800.04, or s. 847.0135(5) was |
| 847 | committed on or after July 1, 2007, the person may move the |
| 848 | court that will sentence or dispose of this violation to remove |
| 849 | the requirement that the person register as a sexual offender or |
| 850 | sexual predator. The person must allege in the motion that he or |
| 851 | she meets the criteria in subsection (1) and that removal of the |
| 852 | registration requirement will not conflict with federal law. The |
| 853 | state attorney must be given notice of the motion at least 21 |
| 854 | days before the date of sentencing or disposition of this |
| 855 | violation and may present evidence in opposition to the |
| 856 | requested relief or may otherwise demonstrate why the motion |
| 857 | should be denied. At sentencing or disposition of this |
| 858 | violation, the court shall rule on this motion and, if the court |
| 859 | determines the person meets the criteria in subsection (1) and |
| 860 | the removal of the registration requirement will not conflict |
| 861 | with federal law, it may grant the motion and order the removal |
| 862 | of the registration requirement. If the court denies the motion, |
| 863 | the person is not authorized under this section to petition for |
| 864 | removal of the registration requirement. |
| 865 | (4) If a person provides to the Department of Law |
| 866 | Enforcement a certified copy of the court's order removing the |
| 867 | requirement that the person register as a sexual offender or |
| 868 | sexual predator for the violation of s. 794.011, or s. 800.04, |
| 869 | or s. 847.0135(5), the registration requirement will not apply |
| 870 | to the person and the department shall remove all information |
| 871 | about the person from the public registry of sexual offenders |
| 872 | and sexual predators maintained by the department. However, the |
| 873 | removal of this information from the public registry does not |
| 874 | mean that the public is denied access to information about the |
| 875 | person's criminal history or record that is otherwise available |
| 876 | as a public record. |
| 877 | Section 27. Subsection (7) of section 947.1405, Florida |
| 878 | Statutes, is amended to read: |
| 879 | 947.1405 Conditional release program.-- |
| 880 | (7)(a) Any inmate who is convicted of a crime committed on |
| 881 | or after October 1, 1995, or who has been previously convicted |
| 882 | of a crime committed on or after October 1, 1995, in violation |
| 883 | of chapter 794, s. 800.04, s. 827.071, s. 847.0135(5), or s. |
| 884 | 847.0145, and is subject to conditional release supervision, |
| 885 | shall have, in addition to any other conditions imposed, the |
| 886 | following special conditions imposed by the commission: |
| 887 | 1. A mandatory curfew from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. The |
| 888 | commission may designate another 8-hour period if the offender's |
| 889 | employment precludes the above specified time, and such |
| 890 | alternative is recommended by the Department of Corrections. If |
| 891 | the commission determines that imposing a curfew would endanger |
| 892 | the victim, the commission may consider alternative sanctions. |
| 893 | 2. If the victim was under the age of 18, a prohibition on |
| 894 | living within 1,000 feet of a school, day care center, park, |
| 895 | playground, designated public school bus stop, or other place |
| 896 | where children regularly congregate. A releasee who is subject |
| 897 | to this subparagraph may not relocate to a residence that is |
| 898 | within 1,000 feet of a public school bus stop. Beginning October |
| 899 | 1, 2004, the commission or the department may not approve a |
| 900 | residence that is located within 1,000 feet of a school, day |
| 901 | care center, park, playground, designated school bus stop, or |
| 902 | other place where children regularly congregate for any releasee |
| 903 | who is subject to this subparagraph. On October 1, 2004, the |
| 904 | department shall notify each affected school district of the |
| 905 | location of the residence of a releasee 30 days prior to release |
| 906 | and thereafter, if the releasee relocates to a new residence, |
| 907 | shall notify any affected school district of the residence of |
| 908 | the releasee within 30 days after relocation. If, on October 1, |
| 909 | 2004, any public school bus stop is located within 1,000 feet of |
| 910 | the existing residence of such releasee, the district school |
| 911 | board shall relocate that school bus stop. Beginning October 1, |
| 912 | 2004, a district school board may not establish or relocate a |
| 913 | public school bus stop within 1,000 feet of the residence of a |
| 914 | releasee who is subject to this subparagraph. The failure of the |
| 915 | district school board to comply with this subparagraph shall not |
| 916 | result in a violation of conditional release supervision. |
| 917 | 3. Active participation in and successful completion of a |
| 918 | sex offender treatment program with qualified practitioners |
| 919 | specifically trained to treat sex offenders, at the releasee's |
| 920 | own expense. If a qualified practitioner is not available within |
| 921 | a 50-mile radius of the releasee's residence, the offender shall |
| 922 | participate in other appropriate therapy. |
| 923 | 4. A prohibition on any contact with the victim, directly |
| 924 | or indirectly, including through a third person, unless approved |
| 925 | by the victim, the offender's therapist, and the sentencing |
| 926 | court. |
| 927 | 5. If the victim was under the age of 18, a prohibition |
| 928 | against contact with children under the age of 18 without review |
| 929 | and approval by the commission. The commission may approve |
| 930 | supervised contact with a child under the age of 18 if the |
| 931 | approval is based upon a recommendation for contact issued by a |
| 932 | qualified practitioner who is basing the recommendation on a |
| 933 | risk assessment. Further, the sex offender must be currently |
| 934 | enrolled in or have successfully completed a sex offender |
| 935 | therapy program. The commission may not grant supervised contact |
| 936 | with a child if the contact is not recommended by a qualified |
| 937 | practitioner and may deny supervised contact with a child at any |
| 938 | time. When considering whether to approve supervised contact |
| 939 | with a child, the commission must review and consider the |
| 940 | following: |
| 941 | a. A risk assessment completed by a qualified |
| 942 | practitioner. The qualified practitioner must prepare a written |
| 943 | report that must include the findings of the assessment and |
