122

     Section 18.  Subsection (2) of section 903.046, Florida

123

Statutes, is amended to read:

124

     903.046  Purpose of and criteria for bail determination.--

125

     (2)  When determining whether to release a defendant on bail

126

or other conditions, and what that bail or those conditions may

127

be, the court shall consider:

128

     (a)  The nature and circumstances of the offense charged.

129

     (b)  The weight of the evidence against the defendant.

130

     (c)  The defendant's family ties, length of residence in the

131

community, employment history, financial resources, and mental

132

condition.

133

     (d)  The defendant's past and present conduct, including any

134

record of convictions, previous flight to avoid prosecution, or

135

failure to appear at court proceedings. However, any defendant

136

who had failed to appear on the day of any required court

137

proceeding in the case at issue, but who had later voluntarily

138

appeared or surrendered, shall not be eligible for a recognizance

139

bond; and any defendant who failed to appear on the day of any

140

required court proceeding in the case at issue and who was later

141

arrested shall not be eligible for a recognizance bond or for any

142

form of bond which does not require a monetary undertaking or

143

commitment equal to or greater than $2,000 or twice the value of

144

the monetary commitment or undertaking of the original bond,

145

whichever is greater. Notwithstanding anything in this section,

146

the court has discretion in determining conditions of release if

147

the defendant proves circumstances beyond his or her control for

148

the failure to appear. This section may not be construed as

149

imposing additional duties or obligations on a governmental

150

entity related to monetary bonds.

151

     (e)  The nature and probability of danger which the

152

defendant's release poses to the community.

153

     (f) The source of funds used to post bail or procure an

154

appearance bond, particularly whether the proffered funds, real

155

property, property, or any proposed collateral or bond premium

156

may be linked to or derived from the crime alleged to have been

157

committed or from any other criminal or illicit activities. The

158

burden of establishing the noninvolvement in or nonderivation

159

from criminal or other illicit activity of such proffered funds,

160

real property, property, or any proposed collateral or bond

161

premium falls upon the defendant or other person proffering them

162

to obtain the defendant's release.

163

     (g)  Whether the defendant is already on release pending

164

resolution of another criminal proceeding or on probation,

165

parole, or other release pending completion of a sentence.

166

     (h)  The street value of any drug or controlled substance

167

connected to or involved in the criminal charge. It is the

168

finding and intent of the Legislature that crimes involving drugs

169

and other controlled substances are of serious social concern,

170

that the flight of defendants to avoid prosecution is of similar

171

serious social concern, and that frequently such defendants are

172

able to post monetary bail using the proceeds of their unlawful

173

enterprises to defeat the social utility of pretrial bail.

174

Therefore, the courts should carefully consider the utility and

175

necessity of substantial bail in relation to the street value of

176

the drugs or controlled substances involved.

177

     (i)  The nature and probability of intimidation and danger

178

to victims.

179

     (j)  Whether there is probable cause to believe that the

180

defendant committed a new crime while on pretrial release.

181

     (k)  Any other facts that the court considers relevant.

182

     (l) Whether the crime charged is a violation of chapter 874

183

or alleged to be subject to enhanced punishment under chapter

184

874. If any such violation is charged against a defendant or if

185

the defendant is charged with a crime that is alleged to be

186

subject to such enhancement, he or she shall not be eligible for

187

release on bail or surety bond until the first appearance on the

188

case in order to ensure the full participation of the prosecutor

189

and the protection of the public.

190

     Section 19.  Section 914.22, Florida Statutes, is amended to

191

read:

192

     914.22 Tampering with or harassing a witness, victim, or

193

195

to read:

314

     943.031  Florida Violent Crime and Drug Control Council.--

315

     (1) FINDINGS.--The Legislature finds that there is a need

316

to develop and implement a statewide strategy to address violent

317

criminal activity, including crimes committed by criminal gangs,

318

and drug control efforts by state and local law enforcement

319

agencies, including investigations of illicit money laundering.

320

In recognition of this need, the Florida Violent Crime and Drug

321

Control Council is created within the department. The council

322

shall serve in an advisory capacity to the department.

323

     (2)(1) MEMBERSHIP.--The council shall consist of 14

324

members, as follows:

325

326

     (b)  A designate of the executive director of the Department

335

Executive Office of the Governor, or a designate.

336

     (h)  The Chief Financial Officer, or a designate.

337

     (i)  Six members appointed by the Governor, consisting of

338

two sheriffs, two chiefs of police, one medical examiner, and one

339

state attorney or their designates.

340

341

The Governor, when making appointments under this subsection,

342

must take into consideration representation by geography,

343

population, ethnicity, and other relevant factors to ensure that

344

the membership of the council is representative of the state at

345

large. Designates appearing on behalf of a council member who is

346

unable to attend a meeting of the council are empowered to vote

347

on issues before the council to the same extent the designating

348

council member is so empowered.

     (3)(2) TERMS OF MEMBERSHIP; OFFICERS; COMPENSATION;

350

STAFF.--

351

     (a)  Members appointed by the Governor shall be appointed

352

for terms of 2 years. The other members are standing members of

the council. In no event shall a member serve beyond the time he

354

355

basis for appointment to the council. In the event of a vacancy,

356

an appointment to fill the vacancy shall be only for the

357

unexpired term.

358

     (b)  The Legislature finds that the council serves a

359

legitimate state, county, and municipal purpose and that service

360

on the council is consistent with a member's principal service in

361

a public office or employment. Membership on the council does not

362

disqualify a member from holding any other public office or being

363

employed by a public entity, except that no member of the

364

Legislature shall serve on the council.

365

     (c)  The members of the council shall elect a chair and a

366

vice chair every 2 years, to serve for a 2-year term. As deemed

367

appropriate, other officers may be elected by the members.

     (d)  Members of the council or their designates shall serve

369

without compensation but are entitled to reimbursement for per

made pursuant to this paragraph may be paid from either the

372

     (9)(7) CONFIDENTIALITY; EXEMPTED PORTIONS OF COUNCIL

581

MEETINGS AND RECORDS.--

582

     (a)  The Legislature finds that during limited portions of

583

the meetings of the Florida Violent Crime and Drug Control

584

Council it is necessary that the council be presented with and

585

discuss details, information, and documents related to active

586

criminal investigations or matters constituting active criminal

587

intelligence, as those concepts are defined by s. 119.011. These

588

presentations and discussions are necessary for the council to

589

make its funding decisions as required by the Legislature. The

590

Legislature finds that to reveal the contents of documents

591

containing active criminal investigative or intelligence

592

information or to allow active criminal investigative or active

593

criminal intelligence matters to be discussed in a meeting open

594

to the public negatively impacts the ability of law enforcement

595

agencies to efficiently continue their investigative or

596

intelligence gathering activities. The Legislature finds that

597

information coming before the council that pertains to active

598

criminal investigations or intelligence should remain

599

confidential and exempt from public disclosure. The Legislature

600

finds that the Florida Violent Crime and Drug Control Council

601

may, by declaring only those portions of council meetings in

602

which active criminal investigative or active criminal

603

intelligence information is to be presented or discussed closed

604

to the public, assure an appropriate balance between the policy

605

of this state that meetings be public and the policy of this

606

state to facilitate efficient law enforcement efforts.

607

     (b)  The Florida Violent Crime and Drug Control Council

608

shall be considered a "criminal justice agency" within the

609

definition of s. 119.011(4).

610

     (c)1.  The Florida Violent Crime and Drug Control Council

611

criminal intelligence information, and such portions of meetings

614

615

Art. I of the State Constitution, provided that the following

616

conditions are met:

617

     a.  The chair of the council shall advise the council at a

618

public meeting that, in connection with the performance of a

619

council duty, it is necessary that the council hear or discuss

620

active criminal investigative information or active criminal

621

intelligence information.

622

     b.  The chair's declaration of necessity for closure and the

623

specific reasons for such necessity shall be stated in writing in

624

a document that shall be a public record and shall be filed with

625

the official records of the council.

626

     c.  The entire closed session shall be recorded. The

627

recording shall include the times of commencement and termination

628

of the closed session, all discussion and proceedings, and the

629

names of all persons present. No portion of the session shall be

630

off the record. Such recording shall be maintained by the

631

council.

632

     2.  Only members of the council, Department of Law

633

Enforcement staff supporting the council's function, and other

634

persons whose presence has been authorized by the chair of the

635

council shall be allowed to attend the exempted portions of the

636

council meetings. The council shall assure that any closure of

637

its meetings as authorized by this section is limited so that the

638

general policy of this state in favor of public meetings is

639

maintained.

640

644
