48 for the spouse or former spouse of the obligor if the child
49 support obligation is being enforced by the Department of
50 Revenue.
51 2. Before payment of a prize of $600 or more to a claimant
52 having such an outstanding obligation, the department shall
53 contact the Department of Law Enforcement to determine whether
54 the winner is a person required to register as a career
55 offender, sexual predator, or sexual offender and, if so,
56 whether the claimant owes a debt for any expenses related
57 thereto, including expenses related to registration,
58 notification, and verification of residence. If the offender
59 owes such a debt, it shall be paid out of the prize money as
60 provided in paragraph (b).

70 child support is owed. If a balance of lottery prize remains
71 after payment of past due child support, the remaining lottery
72 prize amount shall be transmitted to other agencies claiming

388 all other standard and special conditions imposed:
389 (a) A mandatory curfew from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. The court may
390 designate another 8-hour period if the probationer’s or
391 community controllee’s employment precludes such curfew and the
392 alternative period is recommended by the Department of
393 Corrections. If the court determines that imposing a curfew
394 would endanger the victim, the court may consider alternative
395 sanctions.
396 (b) Active participation in and successful completion of a
397 sexual offender treatment program with qualified practitioners
398 specifically trained to treat sexual offenders, at the
399 probationer’s or community controllee’s expense. If a qualified
400 practitioner is not available within a 50-mile radius of the
401 probationer’s or community controllee’s residence, the
402 probationer or community controllee shall participate in other
403 appropriate therapy.
404 (c) A prohibition against any contact with the victim,
405 directly or indirectly, including through a third person, unless
406 approved by the victim, a qualified practitioner in the sexual
407 offender treatment program, and the sentencing court.

409 possessing any obscene, pornographic, or sexually stimulating
410 visual or auditory material unless otherwise indicated in the

413 includes, but is not limited to, material transmitted by
414 telephone, electronic media, computer programs, or computer
415 services.
416 (e) A prohibition against accessing the Internet or other
417 computer services until a qualified practitioner in the
418 probationer’s or community controllee’s sexual offender
419 treatment program, after a risk assessment is completed,
420 approves and implements a safety plan for the probationer’s or
421 community controllee’s accessing or using the Internet or other
422 computer services.
423 (f) A requirement that the probationer or community
424 controllee submit a specimen of blood or other approved
425 biological specimen to the Department of Law Enforcement to be
426 registered with the DNA data bank.
427 (g) A requirement that the probationer or community
428 controllee make restitution to the victim, as ordered by the
429 court under s. 775.089, for all necessary medical and related
430 professional services relating to physical, psychiatric, and
431 psychological care.
432 (h) Submission to a warrantless search by the community
433 control or probation officer of the probationer’s or community

435 (i) As part of a treatment program, submission at least
436 annually to a polygraph examination, at the probationer’s or
437 community controllee’s expense, to obtain information necessary
438 for risk management and treatment and to reduce the
439 probationer’s or community controllee’s denial mechanisms. A
440 polygraph examination must be conducted by a polygrapher who is
441 a member of a national or state polygraph association and who is
442 certified as a postconviction sexual offender polygrapher, where
443 available. The results of the polygraph examination shall be
444 provided to the probationer’s or community controllee’s
445 probation officer and qualified practitioner and may not be used
446 as evidence in court to prove that a violation of community
447 supervision has occurred.
448 (j) Maintenance of a driving log and a prohibition against
449 driving a motor vehicle alone without the prior approval of the
450 community control or probation officer.
451 (k) A prohibition against obtaining or using a post office
452 box without the prior approval of the community control or
453 probation officer.
454 (l) If there was sexual contact, submission to, at the
455 probationer’s or community controllee’s expense, an HIV test
456 with the results to be released to the victim or the victim’s
457 parent or guardian.
458 (m) A requirement to submit to electronic monitoring.
459 (3) If the victim was under the age of 18, the following
460 conditions shall apply in addition to those provided in
461 subsection (2):
462 (a) A prohibition against living within 1,000 feet of a
463 school, child care facility, park, playground, or other place
464 where children regularly congregate, as prescribed by the court.
465 The 1,000-foot distance shall be measured in a straight line
466 from the offender’s place of residence to the nearest boundary
467 line of the school, child care facility, park, playground, or
468 other place where children regularly congregate. The distance
469 may not be measured by a pedestrian route or motor vehicle
470 route. A probationer or community controllee who is subject to
471 this paragraph may not be forced to relocate and does not
472 violate his or her probation or community control if he or she
473 is living in a residence that meets the requirements of this
474 paragraph and a school, child care facility, park, playground,
475 or other place where children regularly congregate is
476 subsequently established within 1,000 feet of his or her
477 residence.
478 (b) A prohibition against contact with a child under the
479 age of 18 except as provided in this paragraph. The court may
480 approve supervised contact with a child under the age of 18 if
481 the approval is based on a recommendation for contact issued by
482 a qualified practitioner who is basing the recommendation on a
483 risk assessment. Further, the probationer or community
484 controllee must be currently enrolled in or have successfully
485 completed a sexual offender treatment program. The court may not
486 grant supervised contact with a child if the contact is not
487 recommended by a qualified practitioner and may deny supervised
488 contact with a child at any time. When considering whether to
489 approve supervised contact with a child, the court must review
490 and consider the following:
491 1. A risk assessment completed by a qualified practitioner.
492 The qualified practitioner must prepare a written report that
493 must include the findings of the assessment and address each of
494 the following components:
495 a. The probationer’s or community controllee’s current
496 legal status.
497 b. The probationer’s or community controllee’s history of
498 adult charges with apparent sexual motivation.
499 c. The probationer’s or community controllee’s history of
500 adult charges without apparent sexual motivation.
501 d. The probationer’s or community controllee’s history of
502 juvenile charges, whenever available.
503 e. The probationer’s or community controllee’s offender
504 treatment history, including consultations with his or her
505 treating, or most recent treating, therapist.
506 f. The probationer’s or community controllee’s current
507 mental status.
508 g. The probationer’s or community controllee’s mental
509 health and substance abuse treatment history as provided by the
510 Department of Corrections.
511 h. The probationer’s or community controllee’s personal,
512 social, educational, and work history.
513 i. The results of current psychological testing of the
514 probationer or community controllee if determined necessary by
515 the qualified practitioner.
516 j. A description of the proposed contact, including the
517 location, frequency, duration, and supervisory arrangement.
518 k. The child’s preference and relative comfort level with
519 the proposed contact, when age appropriate.
520 l. The parent’s or legal guardian’s preference regarding
521 the proposed contact.
522 m. The qualified practitioner’s opinion, along with the
523 basis for that opinion, as to whether the proposed contact would
524 likely pose significant risk of emotional or physical harm to
525 the child.
526
527 The written report of the assessment must be given to the court.
528 2. A recommendation made as a part of the risk assessment
529 report as to whether supervised contact with the child should be
530 approved.
531 3. A written consent signed by the child’s parent or legal
532 guardian, if the parent or legal guardian is not the probationer
533 or community controllee, agreeing to the probationer’s or
534 community controllee’s having supervised contact with the child
535 after receiving full disclosure of the probationer’s or
536 community controllee’s present legal status and past criminal
537 history and the results of the risk assessment. The court may
538 not approve contact with the child if the parent or legal
539 guardian refuses to give written consent for supervised contact.
540 4. A safety plan prepared by the qualified practitioner who
541 provides treatment to the probationer or community controllee in
542 collaboration with the probationer or community controllee, the
543 child’s parent or legal guardian if the parent or legal guardian
544 is not the probationer or community controllee, and the child,
545 when age appropriate, which details the acceptable conditions of
546 contact between the probationer or community controllee and the
547 child. The safety plan must be reviewed and approved by the
548 court.
549 5. Evidence that the child’s parent or legal guardian
550 understands the need for and agrees to the safety plan and has
551 agreed to provide, or to designate another adult to provide,
552 constant supervision any time the child is in contact with the
553 probationer or community controllee.
554
555 The court may not appoint a person to conduct a risk assessment
556 and may not accept a risk assessment from a person who has not
557 demonstrated to the court that he or she has met the
558 requirements of a qualified practitioner.
559 (c) A prohibition against working for pay or as a volunteer
560 at a school, child care facility, park, playground, pet store,
561 library, zoo, theme park, shopping mall, or other place where
562 children regularly congregate.
563 (d) A prohibition against visiting schools, child care
564 facilities, parks, and playgrounds without prior approval from
565 the probationer’s or community controllee’s community control or
566 probation officer. The court may also designate additional
567 prohibited locations in order to protect a victim. The
568 prohibition ordered under this paragraph does not prohibit the
569 probationer or community controllee from visiting a school,
570 child care facility, park, or playground for the sole purpose of
571 attending a religious service as defined in s. 775.0861 or
572 transporting his or her children or grandchildren to or from a
573 child care facility or school.
574 (e) A prohibition against distributing candy or other items
575 to children on Halloween, wearing a Santa Claus costume or other
576 costume to appeal to children on or preceding Christmas Day,
577 wearing an Easter Bunny costume or other costume to appeal to
578 children on or preceding Easter Sunday, entertaining at
579 children’s parties, or wearing a clown costume without prior
580 approval from the court.
581 (4) A sentencing court may, in its discretion, impose the
582 probation or community control conditions described in this
583 section on a probationer or community controllee not described
584 in subsection (2) whose violations are relevant to this section.
585 (5) Probationers and community controllees subject to this
586 section and s. 948.30 must be supervised by the Department of
587 Corrections with probation officers who have a caseload of no
588 more than 30 offenders. The probation officers must be trained
589 in sexual offender issues and the operation of electronic
590 monitoring and global tracking.
591 Section 9. If any provision of this act or its application
592 to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the invalidity
593 does not affect other provisions or applications of this act
594 which can be given effect without the invalid provision or
595 application, and to this end, the provisions of this act are
596 severable.
597 Section 10. This act shall take effect October 1, 2016.
