  427  reenacted to read:
  428         27.366 Legislative intent and policy in cases meeting
  429  criteria of s. 775.087(2) and (3).—It is the intent of the
  430  Legislature that convicted criminal offenders who meet the
  431  criteria in s. 775.087(2) and (3) be sentenced to the minimum
  432  mandatory prison terms provided therein. It is the intent of the
  433  Legislature to establish zero tolerance of criminals who use,
  434  threaten to use, or avail themselves of firearms in order to
  435  commit crimes and thereby demonstrate their lack of value for
  436  human life. It is also the intent of the Legislature that
  437  prosecutors should appropriately exercise their discretion in
  438  those cases in which the offenders’ possession of the firearm is
  439  incidental to the commission of a crime and not used in
  440  furtherance of the crime, used in order to commit the crime, or
  441  used in preparation to commit the crime. For every case in which
  442  the offender meets the criteria in this act and does not receive
  443  the mandatory minimum prison sentence, the state attorney must
  444  explain the sentencing deviation in writing and place such
  445  explanation in the case file maintained by the state attorney.
  446         Section 4. For the purpose of incorporating the amendment
  447  made by this act to section 775.087, Florida Statutes, in a
  448  reference thereto, paragraph (b) of subsection (1) of section
  449  921.0024, Florida Statutes, is reenacted to read:
  450         921.0024 Criminal Punishment Code; worksheet computations;
  451  scoresheets.—
  452         (1)
  453         (b) WORKSHEET KEY:
  454  
  455  Legal status points are assessed when any form of legal status
  456  existed at the time the offender committed an offense before the
  457  court for sentencing. Four (4) sentence points are assessed for
  458  an offender’s legal status.
  459  
  460  Community sanction violation points are assessed when a
  461  community sanction violation is before the court for sentencing.
  462  Six (6) sentence points are assessed for each community sanction
  463  violation and each successive community sanction violation,
  464  unless any of the following apply:
  465         1. If the community sanction violation includes a new
  466  felony conviction before the sentencing court, twelve (12)
  467  community sanction violation points are assessed for the
  468  violation, and for each successive community sanction violation
  469  involving a new felony conviction.
  470         2. If the community sanction violation is committed by a
  471  violent felony offender of special concern as defined in s.
  472  948.06:
  473         a. Twelve (12) community sanction violation points are
  474  assessed for the violation and for each successive violation of
  475  felony probation or community control where:
  476         I. The violation does not include a new felony conviction;
  477  and
  478         II. The community sanction violation is not based solely on
  479  the probationer or offender’s failure to pay costs or fines or
  480  make restitution payments.
  481         b. Twenty-four (24) community sanction violation points are
  482  assessed for the violation and for each successive violation of
  483  felony probation or community control where the violation
  484  includes a new felony conviction.
  485  
  486  Multiple counts of community sanction violations before the
  487  sentencing court shall not be a basis for multiplying the
  488  assessment of community sanction violation points.
  489  
  490  Prior serious felony points: If the offender has a primary
  491  offense or any additional offense ranked in level 8, level 9, or
  492  level 10, and one or more prior serious felonies, a single
  493  assessment of thirty (30) points shall be added. For purposes of
  494  this section, a prior serious felony is an offense in the
  495  offender’s prior record that is ranked in level 8, level 9, or
  496  level 10 under s. 921.0022 or s. 921.0023 and for which the
  497  offender is serving a sentence of confinement, supervision, or
  498  other sanction or for which the offender’s date of release from
  499  confinement, supervision, or other sanction, whichever is later,
  500  is within 3 years before the date the primary offense or any
  501  additional offense was committed.
  502  
  503  Prior capital felony points: If the offender has one or more
  504  prior capital felonies in the offender’s criminal record, points
  505  shall be added to the subtotal sentence points of the offender
  506  equal to twice the number of points the offender receives for
  507  the primary offense and any additional offense. A prior capital
  508  felony in the offender’s criminal record is a previous capital
  509  felony offense for which the offender has entered a plea of nolo
  510  contendere or guilty or has been found guilty; or a felony in
  511  another jurisdiction which is a capital felony in that
  512  jurisdiction, or would be a capital felony if the offense were
  513  committed in this state.
  514  
  515  Possession of a firearm, semiautomatic firearm, or machine gun:
  516  If the offender is convicted of committing or attempting to
  517  commit any felony other than those enumerated in s. 775.087(2)
  518  while having in his or her possession: a firearm as defined in
  519  s. 790.001(6), an additional eighteen (18) sentence points are
  520  assessed; or if the offender is convicted of committing or
  521  attempting to commit any felony other than those enumerated in
  522  s. 775.087(3) while having in his or her possession a
  523  semiautomatic firearm as defined in s. 775.087(3) or a machine
  524  gun as defined in s. 790.001(9), an additional twenty-five (25)
  525  sentence points are assessed.
  526  
  527  Sentencing multipliers:
  528  
  529  Drug trafficking: If the primary offense is drug trafficking
  530  under s. 893.135, the subtotal sentence points are multiplied,
  531  at the discretion of the court, for a level 7 or level 8
  532  offense, by 1.5. The state attorney may move the sentencing
  533  court to reduce or suspend the sentence of a person convicted of
  534  a level 7 or level 8 offense, if the offender provides
  535  substantial assistance as described in s. 893.135(4).
  536  
  537  Law enforcement protection: If the primary offense is a
  538  violation of the Law Enforcement Protection Act under s.
  539  775.0823(2), (3), or (4), the subtotal sentence points are
  540  multiplied by 2.5. If the primary offense is a violation of s.
  541  775.0823(5), (6), (7), (8), or (9), the subtotal sentence points
  542  are multiplied by 2.0. If the primary offense is a violation of
  543  s. 784.07(3) or s. 775.0875(1), or of the Law Enforcement
  544  Protection Act under s. 775.0823(10) or (11), the subtotal
  545  sentence points are multiplied by 1.5.
  546  
  547  Grand theft of a motor vehicle: If the primary offense is grand
  548  theft of the third degree involving a motor vehicle and in the
  549  offender’s prior record, there are three or more grand thefts of
  550  the third degree involving a motor vehicle, the subtotal
  551  sentence points are multiplied by 1.5.
  552  
  553  Offense related to a criminal gang: If the offender is convicted
  554  of the primary offense and committed that offense for the
  555  purpose of benefiting, promoting, or furthering the interests of
  556  a criminal gang as defined in s. 874.03, the subtotal sentence
  557  points are multiplied by 1.5. If applying the multiplier results
  558  in the lowest permissible sentence exceeding the statutory
  559  maximum sentence for the primary offense under chapter 775, the
  560  court may not apply the multiplier and must sentence the
  561  defendant to the statutory maximum sentence.
  562  
  563  Domestic violence in the presence of a child: If the offender is
  564  convicted of the primary offense and the primary offense is a
  565  crime of domestic violence, as defined in s. 741.28, which was
  566  committed in the presence of a child under 16 years of age who
  567  is a family or household member as defined in s. 741.28(3) with
  568  the victim or perpetrator, the subtotal sentence points are
  569  multiplied by 1.5.
  570  
  571  Adult-on-minor sex offense: If the offender was 18 years of age
  572  or older and the victim was younger than 18 years of age at the
  573  time the offender committed the primary offense, and if the
  574  primary offense was an offense committed on or after October 1,
  575  2014, and is a violation of s. 787.01(2) or s. 787.02(2), if the
  576  violation involved a victim who was a minor and, in the course
  577  of committing that violation, the defendant committed a sexual
  578  battery under chapter 794 or a lewd act under s. 800.04 or s.
  579  847.0135(5) against the minor; s. 787.01(3)(a)2. or 3.; s.
  580  787.02(3)(a)2. or 3.; s. 794.011, excluding s. 794.011(10); s.
  581  800.04; or s. 847.0135(5), the subtotal sentence points are
  582  multiplied by 2.0. If applying the multiplier results in the
  583  lowest permissible sentence exceeding the statutory maximum
  584  sentence for the primary offense under chapter 775, the court
  585  may not apply the multiplier and must sentence the defendant to
  586  the statutory maximum sentence.
  587         Section 5. For the purpose of incorporating the amendment
  588  made by this act to section 775.087, Florida Statutes, in a
  589  reference thereto, paragraph (b) of subsection (3) of section
  590  947.146, Florida Statutes, is reenacted to read:
  591         947.146 Control Release Authority.—
  592         (3) Within 120 days prior to the date the state
  593  correctional system is projected pursuant to s. 216.136 to
  594  exceed 99 percent of total capacity, the authority shall
  595  determine eligibility for and establish a control release date
  596  for an appropriate number of parole ineligible inmates committed
  597  to the department and incarcerated within the state who have
  598  been determined by the authority to be eligible for
  599  discretionary early release pursuant to this section. In
  600  establishing control release dates, it is the intent of the
  601  Legislature that the authority prioritize consideration of
  602  eligible inmates closest to their tentative release date. The
  603  authority shall rely upon commitment data on the offender
  604  information system maintained by the department to initially
  605  identify inmates who are to be reviewed for control release
  606  consideration. The authority may use a method of objective risk
  607  assessment in determining if an eligible inmate should be
  608  released. Such assessment shall be a part of the department’s
  609  management information system. However, the authority shall have
  610  sole responsibility for determining control release eligibility,
  611  establishing a control release date, and effectuating the
  612  release of a sufficient number of inmates to maintain the inmate
  613  population between 99 percent and 100 percent of total capacity.
  614  Inmates who are ineligible for control release are inmates who
  615  are parole eligible or inmates who:
  616         (b) Are serving the mandatory minimum portion of a sentence
  617  enhanced under s. 775.087(2) or (3), or s. 784.07(3);
  618  
  619  In making control release eligibility determinations under this
  620  subsection, the authority may rely on any document leading to or
  621  generated during the course of the criminal proceedings,
  622  including, but not limited to, any presentence or postsentence
  623  investigation or any information contained in arrest reports
  624  relating to circumstances of the offense.
