138 | (4) SEXUAL PREDATOR CRITERIA.-- |
139 | (c) If an offender has been registered as a sexual |
140 | predator by the Department of Corrections, the department, or |
141 | any other law enforcement agency and if: |
142 | 1. The court did not, for whatever reason, make a written |
143 | finding at the time of sentencing that the offender was a sexual |
144 | predator; or |
145 | 2. The offender was administratively registered as a |
146 | sexual predator because the Department of Corrections, the |
147 | department, or any other law enforcement agency obtained |
148 | information that indicated that the offender met the criteria |
149 | for designation as a sexual predator based on a violation of a |
150 | similar law in another jurisdiction, |
151 |
|
152 | the department shall remove that offender from the department's |
153 | list of sexual predators and, for an offender described under |
154 | subparagraph 1., shall notify the state attorney who prosecuted |
155 | the offense that met the criteria for administrative designation |
156 | as a sexual predator, and, for an offender described under this |
157 | paragraph, shall notify the state attorney of the county where |
158 | the offender establishes or maintains a permanent, or temporary, |
159 | or transient residence. The state attorney shall bring the |
160 | matter to the court's attention in order to establish that the |
161 | offender meets the criteria for designation as a sexual |
162 | predator. If the court makes a written finding that the offender |
163 | is a sexual predator, the offender must be designated as a |
164 | sexual predator, must register or be registered as a sexual |
165 | predator with the department as provided in subsection (6), and |
166 | is subject to the community and public notification as provided |
167 | in subsection (7). If the court does not make a written finding |
168 | that the offender is a sexual predator, the offender may not be |
169 | designated as a sexual predator with respect to that offense and |
170 | is not required to register or be registered as a sexual |
171 | predator with the department. |
172 | (5) SEXUAL PREDATOR DESIGNATION.--An offender is |
173 | designated as a sexual predator as follows: |
174 | (a)1. An offender who meets the sexual predator criteria |
175 | described in paragraph (4)(d) is a sexual predator, and the |
176 | court shall make a written finding at the time such offender is |
177 | determined to be a sexually violent predator under chapter 394 |
178 | that such person meets the criteria for designation as a sexual |
179 | predator for purposes of this section. The clerk shall transmit |
180 | a copy of the order containing the written finding to the |
181 | department within 48 hours after the entry of the order; |
182 | 2. An offender who meets the sexual predator criteria |
183 | described in paragraph (4)(a) who is before the court for |
184 | sentencing for a current offense committed on or after October |
185 | 1, 1993, is a sexual predator, and the sentencing court must |
186 | make a written finding at the time of sentencing that the |
187 | offender is a sexual predator, and the clerk of the court shall |
188 | transmit a copy of the order containing the written finding to |
189 | the department within 48 hours after the entry of the order; or |
190 | 3. If the Department of Corrections, the department, or |
191 | any other law enforcement agency obtains information which |
192 | indicates that an offender who establishes or maintains a |
193 | permanent, or temporary, or transient residence in this state |
194 | meets the sexual predator criteria described in paragraph (4)(a) |
195 | or paragraph (4)(d) because the offender was civilly committed |
196 | or committed a similar violation in another jurisdiction on or |
197 | after October 1, 1993, the Department of Corrections, the |
198 | department, or the law enforcement agency shall notify the state |
199 | attorney of the county where the offender establishes or |
200 | maintains a permanent, or temporary, or transient residence of |
201 | the offender's presence in the community. The state attorney |
202 | shall file a petition with the criminal division of the circuit |
203 | court for the purpose of holding a hearing to determine if the |
204 | offender's criminal record or record of civil commitment from |
205 | another jurisdiction meets the sexual predator criteria. If the |
206 | court finds that the offender meets the sexual predator criteria |
207 | because the offender has violated a similar law or similar laws |
208 | in another jurisdiction, the court shall make a written finding |
209 | that the offender is a sexual predator. |
210 |
|
211 | When the court makes a written finding that an offender is a |
212 | sexual predator, the court shall inform the sexual predator of |
213 | the registration and community and public notification |
214 | requirements described in this section. Within 48 hours after |
215 | the court designating an offender as a sexual predator, the |
216 | clerk of the circuit court shall transmit a copy of the court's |
217 | written sexual predator finding to the department. If the |
218 | offender is sentenced to a term of imprisonment or supervision, |
219 | a copy of the court's written sexual predator finding must be |
220 | submitted to the Department of Corrections. |

636 | residence in another state or jurisdiction but who remains in |
637 | this state without reporting to the sheriff in the manner |
638 | required by this subsection commits a felony of the second |

650 | release of information under this section, and shall be presumed |
651 | to have acted in good faith in compiling, recording, reporting, |
652 | or releasing the information. The presumption of good faith is |

654 | department, the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, |
655 | the Department of Corrections, the Department of Juvenile |
656 | Justice, the personnel of those departments, or any individual |
657 | or entity acting at the request or upon the direction of any of |
658 | those departments in compiling or providing information, or if |
659 | information is incomplete or incorrect because a sexual offender |
660 | fails to report or falsely reports his or her current place of |
661 | permanent, or temporary, or transient residence. |
662 | (14) |
663 | (c) The sheriff's office may determine the appropriate |

705 | felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. |
706 | 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084. |
707 | Section 4. Section 943.04352, Florida Statutes, is amended |
