795 | Section 24. Subsections (1) and (3) of section 921.244, |
796 | Florida Statutes, are amended to read: |
797 | 921.244 Order of no contact; penalties.-- |
798 | (1) At the time of sentencing an offender convicted of a |
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 |
801 | any contact with the victim, directly or indirectly, including |
802 | through a third person, for the duration of the sentence |
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810 | rescinded.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). |
814 | Section 25. Subsection (1) of section 938.10, Florida |

816 | 938.10 Additional court cost imposed in cases of certain |
817 | crimes against minors.-- |
818 | (1) If a person pleads guilty or nolo contendere to, or is |
819 | found guilty of, regardless of adjudication, any offense against |
820 | a minor in violation of s. 784.085, chapter 787, chapter 794, s. |
821 | 796.03, s. 800.04, chapter 827, s. 847.0135(5), s. 847.0145, or |
822 | s. 985.701, the court shall impose a court cost of $101 against |
823 | the offender in addition to any other cost or penalty required |
824 | by law. |
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 |
944 | address each of the following components: |
945 | (I) The sex offender's current legal status; |
946 | (II) The sex offender's history of adult charges with |
947 | apparent sexual motivation; |
948 | (III) The sex offender's history of adult charges without |
949 | apparent sexual motivation; |
950 | (IV) The sex offender's history of juvenile charges, |
951 | whenever available; |
952 | (V) The sex offender's offender treatment history, |
953 | including a consultation from the sex offender's treating, or |
954 | most recent treating, therapist; |
955 | (VI) The sex offender's current mental status; |
956 | (VII) The sex offender's mental health and substance abuse |
957 | history as provided by the Department of Corrections; |
958 | (VIII) The sex offender's personal, social, educational, |
959 | and work history; |
960 | (IX) The results of current psychological testing of the |
961 | sex offender if determined necessary by the qualified |
962 | practitioner; |
963 | (X) A description of the proposed contact, including the |
964 | location, frequency, duration, and supervisory arrangement; |
965 | (XI) The child's preference and relative comfort level |
966 | with the proposed contact, when age-appropriate; |
967 | (XII) The parent's or legal guardian's preference |
968 | regarding the proposed contact; and |
969 | (XIII) The qualified practitioner's opinion, along with |
970 | the basis for that opinion, as to whether the proposed contact |
971 | would likely pose significant risk of emotional or physical harm |
972 | to the child. |
973 |
|
974 | The written report of the assessment must be given to the |
975 | commission. |
976 | b. A recommendation made as a part of the risk-assessment |
977 | report as to whether supervised contact with the child should be |
978 | approved; |
979 | c. A written consent signed by the child's parent or legal |
980 | guardian, if the parent or legal guardian is not the sex |
981 | offender, agreeing to the sex offender having supervised contact |
982 | with the child after receiving full disclosure of the sex |
983 | offender's present legal status, past criminal history, and the |
984 | results of the risk assessment. The commission may not approve |
985 | contact with the child if the parent or legal guardian refuses |
986 | to give written consent for supervised contact; |
987 | d. A safety plan prepared by the qualified practitioner, |
988 | who provides treatment to the offender, in collaboration with |
989 | the sex offender, the child's parent or legal guardian, and the |
990 | child, when age appropriate, which details the acceptable |
991 | conditions of contact between the sex offender and the child. |
992 | The safety plan must be reviewed and approved by the Department |
993 | of Corrections before being submitted to the commission; and |
994 | e. Evidence that the child's parent or legal guardian, if |
995 | the parent or legal guardian is not the sex offender, |
996 | understands the need for and agrees to the safety plan and has |
997 | agreed to provide, or to designate another adult to provide, |
998 | constant supervision any time the child is in contact with the |
999 | offender. |
1000 |
|
1001 | The commission may not appoint a person to conduct a risk |
1002 | assessment and may not accept a risk assessment from a person |
1003 | who has not demonstrated to the commission that he or she has |
1004 | met the requirements of a qualified practitioner as defined in |

1192 | qualified practitioner is not available within a 50-mile radius |

1194 | offender shall participate in other appropriate therapy. |
1195 | (d) A prohibition on any contact with the victim, directly |

1204 | who is basing the recommendation on a risk assessment. Further, |
1205 | the sex offender must be currently enrolled in or have |
1206 | successfully completed a sex offender therapy program. The court |

1235 | k. The child's preference and relative comfort level with |
1236 | the proposed contact, when age appropriate; |
1237 | l. The parent's or legal guardian's preference regarding |
1238 | the proposed contact; and |
1239 | m. The qualified practitioner's opinion, along with the |
1240 | basis for that opinion, as to whether the proposed contact would |
1241 | likely pose significant risk of emotional or physical harm to |
1242 | the child. |
1243 |
|
1244 | The written report of the assessment must be given to the court; |
1245 | 2. A recommendation made as a part of the risk assessment |
1246 | report as to whether supervised contact with the child should be |

1249 | guardian, if the parent or legal guardian is not the sex |
1250 | offender, agreeing to the sex offender having supervised contact |
1251 | with the child after receiving full disclosure of the sex |
1252 | offender's present legal status, past criminal history, and the |
1253 | results of the risk assessment. The court may not approve |
1254 | contact with the child if the parent or legal guardian refuses |
1255 | to give written consent for supervised contact; |
1256 | 4. A safety plan prepared by the qualified practitioner, |
1257 | who provides treatment to the offender, in collaboration with |

1260 | when age appropriate, which details the acceptable conditions of |
1261 | contact between the sex offender and the child. The safety plan |
1262 | must be reviewed and approved by the court; and |
