270 determined to be a sexually violent predator under chapter 394
271 that such person meets the criteria for designation as a sexual
272 predator for purposes of this section. The clerk shall transmit
273 a copy of the order containing the written finding to the

278 1, 1993, is a sexual predator, and the sentencing court must
279 make a written finding at the time of sentencing that the

283 3. If the Department of Corrections, the department, or any
284 other law enforcement agency obtains information which indicates
285 that an offender who establishes or maintains a permanent,
286 temporary, or transient residence in this state meets the sexual
287 predator criteria described in paragraph (4)(a) or paragraph
288 (4)(d) because the offender was civilly committed or committed a
289 similar violation in another jurisdiction on or after October 1,
290 1993, the Department of Corrections, the department, or the law
291 enforcement agency shall notify the state attorney of the county
292 where the offender establishes or maintains a permanent,
293 temporary, or transient residence of the offender’s presence in
294 the community. The state attorney shall file a petition with the
295 criminal division of the circuit court for the purpose of
296 holding a hearing to determine if the offender’s criminal record
297 or record of civil commitment from another jurisdiction meets
298 the sexual predator criteria. If the court finds that the
299 offender meets the sexual predator criteria because the offender
300 has violated a similar law or similar laws in another
301 jurisdiction, the court shall make a written finding that the
302 offender is a sexual predator.
303
304 When the court makes a written finding that an offender is a

315 imprisonment, the clerk of the court shall ensure that the
316 sexual predator’s fingerprints are taken and forwarded to the
317 department within 48 hours after the court renders its written
318 sexual predator finding. The fingerprints shall be clearly
319 marked, “Sexual Predator Registration.” The clerk of the court
320 that convicts and sentences the sexual predator for the offense
321 or offenses described in subsection (4) shall forward to the
322 department and to the Department of Corrections a certified copy
323 of any order entered by the court imposing any special condition

458 3. Provide, upon request, any additional information

488 required by this section.
489 2.a. A sexual predator who vacates a permanent, temporary,
490 or transient residence and fails to establish or maintain

511 provide notice to transient registrants to report transient
512 residence information as required in this sub-subparagraph.
513 Reporting to the sheriff’s office as required by this sub
514 subparagraph does not exempt registrants from any reregistration
515 requirement. The sheriff may coordinate and enter into
516 agreements with police departments and other governmental
517 entities to facilitate additional reporting sites for transient
518 residence registration required in this sub-subparagraph. The
519 sheriff’s office shall, within 2 business days, electronically
520 submit and update all information provided by the sexual
521 predator to the department.
522 3. A sexual predator who remains at a permanent, temporary,
523 or transient residence after reporting his or her intent to
524 vacate such residence shall, within 48 hours after the date upon
525 which the predator indicated he or she would or did vacate such
526 residence, report in person to the sheriff’s office to which he
527 or she reported pursuant to subparagraph 2. for the purpose of
528 reporting his or her address at such residence. When the sheriff

537 every 30 days as required by sub-subparagraph 2.b. is punishable
538 as provided in subsection (10).
539 5.a. A sexual predator shall register all electronic mail
540 addresses and Internet identifiers with the department through

543 identifiers. If the sexual predator is in the custody or
544 control, or under the supervision, of the Department of
545 Corrections, he or she must report all electronic mail addresses
546 and Internet identifiers to the Department of Corrections before
547 using such electronic mail addresses or Internet identifiers. If
548 the sexual predator is in the custody or control, or under the
549 supervision, of the Department of Juvenile Justice, he or she
550 must report all electronic mail addresses and Internet

552 such electronic mail addresses or Internet identifiers.
553 b. A sexual predator shall register all changes to home

564 Department of Juvenile Justice. All changes required to be
565 reported in this sub-subparagraph shall be reported within 48
566 hours after the change.
567 c. The department shall establish an online system through
568 which sexual predators may securely access, submit, and update

616 report to the department any failure by a sexual predator to
617 comply with registration requirements.

694 794.05; former s. 796.03; former s. 796.035; s. 800.04; s.

1319 s. 827.071, or s. 847.0135(5) or of a similar offense in another
1320 jurisdiction and if the person does not have any other
1321 conviction, regardless of adjudication, or adjudication of
1322 delinquency for a violation of s. 794.011, s. 800.04, s.
1323 827.071, or s. 847.0135(5) or for a similar offense in another

1329 2. Was convicted, regardless of adjudication, or
1330 adjudicated delinquent of an offense in another jurisdiction
1331 which is similar to an offense listed in paragraph (a) and no

1333 or sexual predator under the laws of the jurisdiction in which
1334 the similar offense occurred; and
1335 (c) Is not more than 4 years older than the victim of this
1336 violation who was 13 years of age or older but younger than 18
1337 years of age at the time the person committed this violation.
1338 (2)(a) If a person meets the criteria in subsection (1),
1339 the person may, for the purpose of removing the requirement that
1340 he or she register as a sexual offender or sexual predator, move
1341 the criminal division of the circuit court of the circuit:
1342 1. the person may move the criminal division of the circuit
1343 court of the circuit Where the conviction or adjudication for
1344 the qualifying offense occurred for a conviction in this state;
1345 2. Where the sexual offender or sexual predator resides for
1346 a conviction for a violation of similar law of another
1347 jurisdiction; or

1365 sentencing, disposition of the violation, or hearing on the
1366 motion and may present evidence in opposition to the requested
1367 relief or may otherwise demonstrate why the motion should be
1368 denied. At sentencing, disposition of the violation, or hearing
1369 on the motion, the court shall rule on the motion, and, if the
1370 court determines the person meets the criteria in subsection (1)
1371 and the removal of the registration requirement will not
1372 conflict with federal law that requires that the sexual act be
1373 consensual, notwithstanding the age of the victim, it may grant
1374 the motion and order the removal of the registration
1375 requirement. The court shall instruct the person to provide the
1376 department a certified copy of the order granting relief. If the
1377 court denies the motion, the person is not authorized under this
1378 section to file another motion for removal of the registration
1379 requirement.

2331 her to be brought before the court that granted the probation or
2332 community control. If the violation is not admitted by the
2333 probationer or offender, the court may commit him or her or
2334 release him or her with or without bail to await further
2335 hearing. However, if the probationer or offender is under
2336 supervision for any criminal offense proscribed in chapter 794,
2337 s. 800.04(4), (5), (6), s. 827.071, or s. 847.0145, or is a
2338 registered sexual predator or a registered sexual offender, or
2339 is under supervision for a criminal offense for which he or she
2340 would meet the registration criteria in s. 775.21, s. 943.0435,
2341 or s. 944.607 but for the effective date of those sections, the
2342 court must make a finding that the probationer or offender is
2343 not a danger to the public prior to release with or without
2344 bail. In determining the danger posed by the offender’s or
2345 probationer’s release, the court may consider the nature and
2346 circumstances of the violation and any new offenses charged; the
2347 offender’s or probationer’s past and present conduct, including
2348 convictions of crimes; any record of arrests without conviction
2349 for crimes involving violence or sexual crimes; any other
2350 evidence of allegations of unlawful sexual conduct or the use of
2351 violence by the offender or probationer; the offender’s or
2352 probationer’s family ties, length of residence in the community,
2353 employment history, and mental condition; his or her history and
2354 conduct during the probation or community control supervision
2355 from which the violation arises and any other previous
2356 supervisions, including disciplinary records of previous
2357 incarcerations; the likelihood that the offender or probationer
2358 will engage again in a criminal course of conduct; the weight of
2359 the evidence against the offender or probationer; and any other
2360 facts the court considers relevant. The court, as soon as is
2361 practicable, shall give the probationer or offender an
2362 opportunity to be fully heard on his or her behalf in person or
2363 by counsel. After the hearing, the court shall make findings of
2364 fact and forward the findings to the court that granted the
2365 probation or community control and to the probationer or
2366 offender or his or her attorney. The findings of fact by the
2367 hearing court are binding on the court that granted the
2368 probation or community control. Upon the probationer or offender
2369 being brought before it, the court that granted the probation or
2370 community control may revoke, modify, or continue the probation
2371 or community control or may place the probationer into community
2372 control as provided in this section. However, the probationer or
2373 offender shall not be released and shall not be admitted to
2374 bail, but shall be brought before the court that granted the
2375 probation or community control if any violation of felony
2376 probation or community control other than a failure to pay costs
2377 or fines or make restitution payments is alleged to have been
2378 committed by:
2379 (a) A violent felony offender of special concern, as
2380 defined in this section;
2381 (b) A person who is on felony probation or community
2382 control for any offense committed on or after the effective date
2383 of this act and who is arrested for a qualifying offense as
2384 defined in this section; or
2385 (c) A person who is on felony probation or community
2386 control and has previously been found by a court to be a
2387 habitual violent felony offender as defined in s. 775.084(1)(b),
2388 a three-time violent felony offender as defined in s.
2389 775.084(1)(c), or a sexual predator under s. 775.21, and who is
2390 arrested for committing a qualifying offense as defined in this
2391 section on or after the effective date of this act.
2392 Section 23. For the purpose of incorporating the amendments
2393 made by this act to sections 775.21, 943.0435, and 944.607,
2394 Florida Statutes, in references thereto, section 948.063,
2395 Florida Statutes, is reenacted to read:
2396 948.063 Violations of probation or community control by
2397 designated sexual offenders and sexual predators.—
2398 (1) If probation or community control for any felony
2399 offense is revoked by the court pursuant to s. 948.06(2)(e) and
2400 the offender is designated as a sexual offender pursuant to s.
2401 943.0435 or s. 944.607 or as a sexual predator pursuant to s.
2402 775.21 for unlawful sexual activity involving a victim 15 years
2403 of age or younger and the offender is 18 years of age or older,
2404 and if the court imposes a subsequent term of supervision
2405 following the revocation of probation or community control, the
2406 court must order electronic monitoring as a condition of the
2407 subsequent term of probation or community control.
2408 (2) If the probationer or offender is required to register
2409 as a sexual predator under s. 775.21 or as a sexual offender
2410 under s. 943.0435 or s. 944.607 for unlawful sexual activity
2411 involving a victim 15 years of age or younger and the
2412 probationer or offender is 18 years of age or older and has
2413 violated the conditions of his or her probation or community
2414 control, but the court does not revoke the probation or
2415 community control, the court shall nevertheless modify the
2416 probation or community control to include electronic monitoring
2417 for any probationer or offender not then subject to electronic
2418 monitoring.
2419 Section 24. For the purpose of incorporating the amendment
2420 made by this act to section 943.0435, Florida Statutes, in a
2421 reference thereto, paragraph (c) of subsection (10) of section
2422 944.607, Florida Statutes, is reenacted to read:
2423 944.607 Notification to Department of Law Enforcement of
2424 information on sexual offenders.—
2425 (10)
2426 (c) An arrest on charges of failure to register when the
2427 offender has been provided and advised of his or her statutory
2428 obligations to register under s. 943.0435(2), the service of an
2429 information or a complaint for a violation of this section, or
2430 an arraignment on charges for a violation of this section
2431 constitutes actual notice of the duty to register. A sexual
2432 offender’s failure to immediately register as required by this
2433 section following such arrest, service, or arraignment
2434 constitutes grounds for a subsequent charge of failure to
2435 register. A sexual offender charged with the crime of failure to
2436 register who asserts, or intends to assert, a lack of notice of
2437 the duty to register as a defense to a charge of failure to
2438 register shall immediately register as required by this section.
2439 A sexual offender who is charged with a subsequent failure to
2440 register may not assert the defense of a lack of notice of the
2441 duty to register.

2443 made by this act to section 943.04354, Florida Statutes, in a
2444 reference thereto, subsection (2) of section 397.4872, Florida
2445 Statutes, is reenacted to read:

2479 Statutes, in references thereto, section 775.25, Florida
2480 Statutes, is reenacted to read:
