  536  modern, open, electronic format that is machine-readable and
  537  readily accessible to the public on the department’s website.

  539  (2) no later than July 1, 2019.
  540         (5) NONCOMPLIANCE.—Notwithstanding any other provision of
  541  law, an entity required to collect and transmit data under

  545  administered by the Department of Law Enforcement, or any other
  546  state agency for 5 years after the date of noncompliance.
  547         Section 3. Section 901.41, Florida Statutes, is created to
  548  read:
  549         901.41 Prearrest diversion programs.—
  550         (1) LEGISLATIVE INTENT.—The Legislature encourages local
  551  communities and public or private educational institutions to
  552  implement prearrest diversion programs that afford certain
  553  adults who fulfill specified intervention and community service
  554  obligations the opportunity to avoid an arrest record. The
  555  Legislature does not mandate that a particular prearrest
  556  diversion program for adults be adopted, but finds that the
  557  adoption of the model program provided in this section would
  558  allow certain adults to avoid an arrest record while ensuring
  559  that they receive appropriate services and fulfill their
  560  community service obligations. If a prearrest diversion program
  561  is implemented, the program is encouraged to share information
  562  with other prearrest diversion programs.
  563         (2) MODEL PREARREST DIVERSION PROGRAM.—Local communities
  564  and public or private educational institutions may adopt a
  565  prearrest diversion program in which:
  566         (a) Law enforcement officers, at their sole discretion, may
  567  issue a civil citation or similar prearrest diversion program
  568  notice to certain adults who commit a qualifying misdemeanor
  569  offense, as determined by the representatives that develop the
  570  program under subsection (3). A civil citation or similar
  571  prearrest diversion program notice may be issued if the adult
  572  who commits the offense:
  573         1. Admits that he or she committed the offense or does not
  574  contest the offense; and
  575         2. Has not previously been arrested and has not received an
  576  adult civil citation or similar prearrest diversion program
  577  notice, unless the terms of the local adult prearrest diversion
  578  program allow otherwise. The local adult prearrest diversion
  579  program shall establish a limit on the number of times an
  580  eligible adult may participate in the program.
  581         (b) An adult who receives a civil citation or similar
  582  prearrest diversion program notice shall report for intake as
  583  required by the local prearrest diversion program and must be
  584  provided appropriate assessment, intervention, education, and
  585  behavioral health care services by the program. While in the
  586  local prearrest diversion program, the adult shall perform
  587  community service hours as specified by the program. The adult
  588  shall pay restitution due to the victim as a program
  589  requirement. If the adult does not successfully complete the
  590  prearrest diversion program, the law enforcement officer must
  591  determine if there is good cause to arrest the adult for the
  592  original misdemeanor offense and, if so, refer the case to the
  593  state attorney to determine whether prosecution is appropriate
  594  or, in the absence of a finding of good cause, allow the adult
  595  to continue in the program.
  596         (3) PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT; IMPLEMENTATION; OPERATION.—
  597         (a) Representatives of participating law enforcement
  598  agencies, a representative of the program services provider, the
  599  public defender, the state attorney, and the clerk of the
  600  circuit court shall create the prearrest diversion program and
  601  develop its policies and procedures, including, but not limited
  602  to, eligibility criteria, program implementation and operation,
  603  and the determination of the fee, if any, to be paid by adults
  604  participating in the program. In developing the program’s
  605  policies and procedures, which must include the designation of
  606  the misdemeanor offenses that qualify adults for participation
  607  in the program, the representatives must solicit input from
  608  other interested stakeholders. The program may be operated by an
  609  entity such as a law enforcement agency or a county or
  610  municipality, or other entity selected by the county or
  611  municipality.
  612         (b) Upon intake of an adult participating in the prearrest
  613  diversion program, the program operator shall electronically
  614  provide the participant’s personal identifying information to
  615  the clerk of the circuit court for the county in which the
  616  program provides services. Such information is not a court
  617  record, and the clerk of the circuit court shall maintain the
  618  confidentiality of the participant’s personal identifying
  619  information as provided in subsection (5). The clerk of the
  620  circuit court shall maintain such information in a statewide
  621  database, which must provide a single point of access for all
  622  such statewide information. If the program imposes a
  623  participation fee, the clerk of the circuit court must receive a
  624  reasonable portion, to be determined by the stakeholders
  625  creating the program, for receipt and maintenance of the
  626  required information. The fee shall be deposited by the clerk of
  627  the circuit court into the fine and forfeiture fund established
  628  under s. 142.01.
  629         (4) APPLICABILITY.—This section does not preempt a county
  630  or municipality from enacting noncriminal sanctions for a
  631  violation of an ordinance or other violation, and it does not
  632  preempt a county, a municipality, or a public or private
  633  educational institution from creating its own model for a
  634  prearrest diversion program for adults.
  635         (5) ELIGIBILITY.—A violent misdemeanor, a misdemeanor crime
  636  of domestic violence, as defined in s. 741.28, or a misdemeanor
  637  under s. 741.29, s. 741.31, s. 784.046, s. 784.047, s. 784.048,
  638  s. 784.0487, or s. 784.049 does not qualify for a civil citation
  639  or prearrest diversion program.
  640         Section 4. Paragraph (b) of subsection (4) of section
  641  907.043, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:
  642         907.043 Pretrial release; citizens’ right to know.—

  762         (7) A digitized sentencing scoresheet must be prepared for
  763  every defendant who is sentenced for a felony offense. A copy of
  764  The individual offender’s digitized Criminal Punishment Code
  765  scoresheet and any attachments thereto prepared pursuant to Rule

  786         (b) “Expunction” has the same meaning ascribed in and
  787  effect as s. 943.0585, except that:

  847  sections.
  848         Section 7. Section 943.687, Florida Statutes, is created to
  849  read:
  850         943.687 Criminal justice data transparency.—In order to
  851  facilitate the availability of comparable and uniform criminal
  852  justice data, the department shall:
  853         (1) Collect, compile, maintain, and manage the data
  854  submitted by local and state entities pursuant to s. 900.05 and
  855  coordinate related activities to collect and submit data. The
  856  department shall create a unique identifier for each criminal
  857  case received from the clerks of court which identifies the
  858  person who is the subject of the criminal case. The unique
  859  identifier must be the same for that person in any court case
  860  and used across local and state entities for all information
  861  related to that person at any time. The unique identifier shall
  862  be randomly created and may not include any portion of the
  863  person’s social security number or date of birth.
  864         (2) Promote criminal justice data sharing by making such

  866  readily usable.
  867         (3) Create and maintain an Internet-based database of
  868  criminal justice data received under s. 900.05 in a modern,
  869  open, electronic format that is machine-readable and readily

  874  access or receive information from the database.
  875         (4) Develop written agreements with local, state, and
  876  federal agencies to facilitate criminal justice data sharing.
  877         (5) Establish by rule:

  902         Section 8. Section 945.041, Florida Statutes, is created to
  903  read:
  904         945.041 Reports.—The department shall publish on its
  905  website and make available to the public the following
  906  information, updated on a quarterly basis:

  915         Section 9. Section 985.12, Florida Statutes, is amended to
  916  read:
  917         985.12 Civil citation or similar prearrest diversion
  918  programs.—
  919         (1) LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS AND INTENT.—The Legislature finds
  920  that the creation and implementation of civil citation or
  921  similar prearrest diversion programs at the judicial circuit
  922  level promotes public safety, aids interagency cooperation, and
  923  provides the greatest chance of success for civil citation and
  924  similar prearrest diversion programs. The Legislature further
  925  finds that the widespread use of civil citation and similar
  926  prearrest diversion programs has a positive effect on the
  927  criminal justice system and contributes to an overall reduction
  928  in the crime rate and recidivism in the state. The Legislature
  929  encourages but does not mandate that counties, municipalities,
  930  and public or private educational institutions participate in a
  931  civil citation or similar prearrest diversion program created by
  932  their judicial circuit under this section. There is established
  933  a juvenile civil citation process for the purpose of providing
  934  an efficient and innovative alternative to custody by the
  935  Department of Juvenile Justice for children who commit
  936  nonserious delinquent acts and to ensure swift and appropriate
  937  consequences. The department shall encourage and assist in the
  938  implementation and improvement of civil citation programs or
  939  other similar diversion programs around the state.
  940         (2) JUDICIAL CIRCUIT CIVIL CITATION OR SIMILAR PREARREST
  941  DIVERSION PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT, IMPLEMENTATION AND OPERATION.—
  942         (a) A The civil citation or similar prearrest diversion
  943  program for misdemeanor offenses shall be established in each
  944  judicial circuit in the state. The at the local level with the
  945  concurrence of the chief judge of the circuit, state attorney
  946  and, public defender of each circuit, the clerk of the court for
  947  each county in the circuit, and representatives of participating
  948  law enforcement agencies in the circuit shall create a civil
  949  citation or similar prearrest diversion program and develop its
  950  policies and procedures. In developing the program’s policies
  951  and procedures, input from other interested stakeholders may be
  952  solicited. The department shall annually develop and provide
  953  guidelines on best practice models for civil citation or similar
  954  prearrest diversion programs to the judicial circuits as a
  955  resource.
  956         (b) Each judicial circuit’s civil citation or similar
  957  prearrest diversion program must specify:
  958         1. The misdemeanor offenses that qualify a juvenile for
  959  participation in the program;
  960         2. The eligibility criteria for the program;
  961         3. The program’s implementation and operation;
  962         4. The program’s requirements, including, but not limited
  963  to, the completion of community service hours, payment of
  964  restitution, if applicable, and intervention services indicated
  965  by a needs assessment of the juvenile, approved by the
  966  department, such as family counseling, urinalysis monitoring,
  967  and substance abuse and mental health treatment services; and
  968         5. A program fee, if any, to be paid by a juvenile
  969  participating in the program. If the program imposes a fee, the
  970  clerk of the court of the applicable county must receive a
  971  reasonable portion of the fee.
  972         (c) The state attorney of each circuit shall operate a
  973  civil citation or similar prearrest diversion program in each
  974  circuit. A sheriff, police department, county, municipality, or
  975  public or private educational institution may continue to
  976  operate an independent civil citation or similar prearrest
  977  diversion program that is in operation as of October 1, 2018, if
  978  the independent program is reviewed by the state attorney of the
  979  applicable circuit and he or she determines that the independent
  980  program is substantially similar to the civil citation or
  981  similar prearrest diversion program developed by the circuit. If
  982  the state attorney determines that the independent program is
  983  not substantially similar to the civil citation or similar
  984  prearrest diversion program developed by the circuit, the
  985  operator of the independent diversion program may revise the
  986  program and the state attorney may conduct an additional review
  987  of the independent program.
  988         (d) A judicial circuit may model an existing sheriff,
  989  police department, county, municipality, or public or private
  990  educational institution’s independent civil citation or similar
  991  prearrest diversion program in developing the civil citation or
  992  similar prearrest diversion program for the circuit.
  993         (e) If a juvenile does not successfully complete the civil
  994  citation or similar prearrest diversion program, the arresting
  995  law enforcement officer shall determine if there is good cause
  996  to arrest the juvenile for the original misdemeanor offense and
  997  refer the case to the state attorney to determine if prosecution
  998  is appropriate or allow the juvenile to continue in the program
  999  and the head of each local law enforcement agency involved. The
 1000  program may be operated by an entity such as a law enforcement
 1001  agency, the department, a juvenile assessment center, the county
 1002  or municipality, or another entity selected by the county or
 1003  municipality. An entity operating the civil citation or similar
 1004  diversion program must do so in consultation and agreement with
 1005  the state attorney and local law enforcement agencies. Under
 1006  such a juvenile civil citation or similar diversion program, a
 1007  law enforcement officer, upon making contact with a juvenile who
 1008  admits having committed a misdemeanor, may choose to issue a
 1009  simple warning or inform the child’s guardian or parent of the
 1010  child’s infraction, or may issue a civil citation or require
 1011  participation in a similar diversion program, and assess up to
 1012  50 community service hours, and require participation in
 1013  intervention services as indicated by an assessment of the needs
 1014  of the juvenile, including family counseling, urinalysis
 1015  monitoring, and substance abuse and mental health treatment
 1016  services.
 1017         (f) A copy of each civil citation or similar prearrest
 1018  diversion program notice issued under this section shall be
 1019  provided to the department, and the department shall enter
 1020  appropriate information into the juvenile offender information
 1021  system. Use of the civil citation or similar diversion program
 1022  is not limited to first-time misdemeanors and may be used in up
 1023  to two subsequent misdemeanors. If an arrest is made, a law
 1024  enforcement officer must provide written documentation as to why
 1025  an arrest was warranted.
 1026         (g) At the conclusion of a juvenile’s civil citation
 1027  program or similar prearrest diversion program, the state
 1028  attorney or operator of the independent program agency operating
 1029  the program shall report the outcome to the department. The
 1030  issuance of a civil citation or similar prearrest diversion
 1031  program notice is not considered a referral to the department.
 1032         (2) The department shall develop guidelines for the civil
 1033  citation program which include intervention services that are
 1034  based upon proven civil citation or similar diversion programs
 1035  within the state.
 1036         (h)(3) Upon issuing such a civil citation or similar
 1037  prearrest diversion program notice, the law enforcement officer
 1038  shall send a copy of to the civil citation or similar prearrest
 1039  diversion program notice to county sheriff, state attorney, the
 1040  appropriate intake office of the department, or the community
 1041  service performance monitor designated by the department, the
 1042  parent or guardian of the child, and to the victim.
 1043         (4) The child shall report to the community service
 1044  performance monitor within 7 working days after the date of
 1045  issuance of the citation. The work assignment shall be
 1046  accomplished at a rate of not less than 5 hours per week. The
 1047  monitor shall advise the intake office immediately upon
 1048  reporting by the child to the monitor, that the child has in
 1049  fact reported and the expected date upon which completion of the
 1050  work assignment will be accomplished.
 1051         (5) If the child fails to report timely for a work
 1052  assignment, complete a work assignment, or comply with assigned
 1053  intervention services within the prescribed time, or if the
 1054  juvenile commits a subsequent misdemeanor, the law enforcement
 1055  officer shall issue a report alleging the child has committed a
 1056  delinquent act, at which point a juvenile probation officer
 1057  shall process the original delinquent act as a referral to the
 1058  department and refer the report to the state attorney for
 1059  review.
 1060         (6) At the time of issuance of the citation by the law
 1061  enforcement officer, such officer shall advise the child that
 1062  the child has the option to refuse the citation and to be
 1063  referred to the intake office of the department. That option may
 1064  be exercised at any time before completion of the work
 1065  assignment.
 1066         Section 10. Subsection (3) of section 985.125, Florida
 1067  Statutes, is amended to read:
 1068         985.125 Prearrest or postarrest diversion programs.—
 1069         (3) The prearrest or postarrest diversion program may, upon
 1070  agreement of the agencies that establish the program, provide
 1071  for the expunction of the nonjudicial arrest record of a minor
 1072  who successfully completes such a program pursuant to s.
 1073  943.0582.
 1074         Section 11. Paragraphs (f), (g), (h), (i), and (j) of
 1075  subsection (1) of section 985.145, Florida Statutes, are
 1076  redesignated as paragraphs (g), (h), (i), (j), and (k),
 1077  respectively, and a new paragraph (f) is added to that
 1078  subsection, to read:
 1079         985.145 Responsibilities of the department during intake;
 1080  screenings and assessments.—
 1081         (1) The department shall serve as the primary case manager
 1082  for the purpose of managing, coordinating, and monitoring the
 1083  services provided to the child. Each program administrator
 1084  within the Department of Children and Families shall cooperate
 1085  with the primary case manager in carrying out the duties and
 1086  responsibilities described in this section. In addition to
 1087  duties specified in other sections and through departmental
 1088  rules, the department shall be responsible for the following:
 1089         (f) Prevention web.—For a child with a first-time
 1090  misdemeanor offense, the department shall enter all related
 1091  information into the Juvenile Justice Information System
 1092  Prevention Web until such time as formal charges are filed. If
 1093  formal charges are not filed, the information shall remain in
 1094  the Juvenile Justice Information System Prevention Web until
 1095  removed pursuant to department policies.

 1097  to read:
 1098         985.126 Diversion programs; data collection; denial of
 1099  participation or expunged record.—
 1100         (1) As used in this section, the term “diversion program”
 1101  has the same meaning as provided in s. 943.0582.
 1102         (2) Upon issuance of documentation requiring a minor to
 1103  participate in a diversion program, before or without an arrest,
 1104  the issuing law enforcement officer shall send a copy of such
 1105  documentation to the entity designated to operate the diversion
 1106  program and to the department, which shall enter such
 1107  information into the Juvenile Justice Information System
 1108  Prevention Web.
