  378  Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Florida:
  379  
  380         Section 1. Section 322.3401, Florida Statutes, is created
  381  to read:
  382         322.3401 Retroactive application relating to s. 322.34;
  383  legislative intent; prohibiting certain sentences for specified
  384  offenses; resentencing procedures.—
  385         (1) It is the intent of the Legislature to retroactively
  386  apply section 12 of chapter 2019-167, Laws of Florida, only as
  387  provided in this section, to persons who committed the offense
  388  of driving while license suspended, revoked, canceled, or
  389  disqualified before October 1, 2019, the effective date of
  390  section 12 of chapter 2019-167, Laws of Florida, which amended
  391  s. 322.34 to modify criminal penalties and collateral
  392  consequences for offenses under that section.
  393         (2) As used in this section, the term:
  394         (a) “Former s. 322.34” is a reference to s. 322.34 as it
  395  existed at any time before its amendment by chapter 2019-167,
  396  Laws of Florida.
  397         (b) “New s. 322.34” is a reference to s. 322.34 as it
  398  exists after the amendments made by chapter 2019-167, Laws of
  399  Florida, became effective.
  400         (3)(a) A person who committed the offense of driving while
  401  license suspended, revoked, canceled, or disqualified before
  402  October 1, 2019, but who was not sentenced under former s.
  403  322.34 before October 1, 2020, must be sentenced in accordance
  404  with s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084 for the degree of
  405  offense as provided for in the new s. 322.34.
  406         (b)A person who committed the offense of driving while
  407  license suspended, revoked, canceled, or disqualified before
  408  October 1, 2019, who was sentenced before October 1, 2019, to a
  409  term of imprisonment or supervision pursuant to former s.
  410  322.34, and who is serving such penalty on or after October 1,
  411  2020, may be resentenced in accordance with paragraph (c).
  412         (c) Resentencing under this section must occur in the
  413  following manner:
  414         1. A person described in paragraph (b) who is eligible to
  415  request a sentence review hearing pursuant to this section shall
  416  be notified of such eligibility by the facility in which the
  417  person is imprisoned or the entity who is supervising the
  418  person.
  419         2. A person seeking a sentence review hearing under this
  420  section must submit an application to the court of original
  421  jurisdiction requesting that such a hearing be conducted. Such
  422  request by the person serves to initiate the procedures provided
  423  for in this section. The sentencing court shall retain original
  424  jurisdiction for the duration of the sentence for this purpose.
  425         3. A person who is eligible for a sentence review hearing
  426  under this section is entitled to be represented by counsel, and
  427  the court shall appoint a public defender to represent the
  428  person if he or she cannot afford an attorney.
  429         4. Upon receiving an application from the eligible person,
  430  the court of original jurisdiction shall hold a sentence review
  431  hearing to determine if the eligible person meets the criteria
  432  for resentencing under this section.
  433         5. If the court determines at the sentence review hearing
  434  that the eligible person meets the criteria in this section for
  435  resentencing, the court may resentence the person in accordance
  436  with s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084 for the degree of
  437  offense as provided for in the new s. 322.34. However, the new
  438  sentence may not exceed the person’s original sentence with
  439  credit for time served. If the court does not resentence the
  440  person under this subsection, the court must provide written
  441  findings why resentencing is not appropriate.
  442         (4) Notwithstanding any other law, a person who has been
  443  convicted of a felony under former s. 322.34 and whose offense
  444  would not be classified as a felony under the new s. 322.34 must
  445  have all outstanding fines, fees, and costs related to such
  446  felony conviction waived. In addition, such person must be
  447  treated as if he or she had been convicted of a misdemeanor for
  448  purposes of any right, privilege, benefit, remedy, or collateral
  449  consequence that the person might be entitled to but for such
  450  felony conviction. This provision does not serve to remove the
  451  designation of the person as a convicted felon. However, the
  452  consequences of such felony conviction which are solely
  453  statutory in nature and are imposed as a result of such
  454  conviction shall no longer apply.
  455         Section 2. Subsections (5) and (7) of section 379.407,
  456  Florida Statutes, are amended to read:
  457         379.407 Administration; rules, publications, records;
  458  penalties; injunctions.—
  459         (5) PENALTIES FOR POSSESSION OF SPINY LOBSTER; CLOSED

  663  provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084, to practice,
  664  attempt to practice, or offer to practice a health care
  665  profession without an active, valid Florida license to practice
  666  that profession. Practicing without an active, valid license
  667  also includes practicing on a suspended, revoked, or void
  668  license, but does not include practicing, attempting to
  669  practice, or offering to practice with an inactive or delinquent
  670  license for a period of up to 12 months which is addressed in
  671  subparagraph 3. Knowingly applying for employment for a position
  672  that requires a license without notifying the employer that the
  673  person does not currently possess a valid, active license to
  674  practice that profession shall be deemed to be an attempt or
  675  offer to practice that health care profession without a license.
  676  Holding oneself out, regardless of the means of communication,
  677  as able to practice a health care profession or as able to
  678  provide services that require a health care license shall be
  679  deemed to be an attempt or offer to practice such profession
  680  without a license. The minimum penalty for violating this
  681  subparagraph shall be a fine of $1,000 and a minimum mandatory
  682  period of incarceration of 1 year.

  684  provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084, to practice a
  685  health care profession without an active, valid Florida license
  686  to practice that profession when such practice results in
  687  serious bodily injury. For purposes of this section, “serious
  688  bodily injury” means death; brain or spinal damage;
  689  disfigurement; fracture or dislocation of bones or joints;
  690  limitation of neurological, physical, or sensory function; or
  691  any condition that required subsequent surgical repair. The
  692  minimum penalty for violating this subparagraph shall be a fine
  693  of $1,000 and a minimum mandatory period of incarceration of 1
  694  year.

  697  practice, or offer to practice a health care profession with an
  698  inactive or delinquent license for any period of time up to 12
  699  months. However, practicing, attempting to practice, or offering
  700  to practice a health care profession when that person’s license
  701  has been inactive or delinquent for a period of time of 12
  702  months or more shall be a felony of the third degree, punishable
  703  as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084. The
  704  minimum penalty for violating this subparagraph shall be a term
  705  of imprisonment of 30 days and a fine of $500.

  713  provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.

  728  the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s.
  729  775.083, or s. 775.084, and the offender shall be sentenced to a
  730  minimum term of imprisonment of 2 years.

  793         3. If the state attorney determines that a defendant is a
  794  prison releasee reoffender as defined in subparagraph 1., the
  795  state attorney may seek to have the court sentence the defendant
  796  as a prison releasee reoffender. Upon proof from the state

  813  release. Any person sentenced under paragraph (a) must serve 100
  814  percent of the court-imposed sentence.
  815         (c)Nothing in this subsection shall prevent a court from
  816  imposing a greater sentence of incarceration as authorized by
  817  law, pursuant to s. 775.084 or any other provision of law.
  818         (b)(d)1. It is the intent of the Legislature to
  819  retroactively apply the amendments to this subsection which are
  820  effective October 1, 2020.
  821         2. As used in this paragraph, the term “former s.
  822  775.082(9)” means s. 775.082(9) as it existed before the
  823  amendment of this subsection, which took effect October 1, 2020.
  824         3. A person who qualified as a prison releasee reoffender
  825  before October 1, 2020, and who was not sentenced as a prison
  826  releasee reoffender before October 1, 2020, may not be sentenced
  827  as such under former s. 775.082(9). Such person, if sentenced as
  828  a prison releasee reoffender, must be sentenced as provided in
  829  paragraph (a).
  830         4. A person who qualified as a prison releasee reoffender
  831  before October 1, 2020, who was sentenced as such before October
  832  1, 2020, to a mandatory minimum term of imprisonment pursuant to
  833  former s. 775.082(9), and who is serving such mandatory minimum
  834  term of imprisonment on or after October 1, 2020, may be
  835  resentenced in accordance with subparagraph 5. to a sentence as
  836  provided in paragraph (a) and sub-subparagraph 5.d.
  837         5.Resentencing must occur in the following manner:
  838         a.The Department of Corrections shall notify a person
  839  described in subparagraph 4. of his or her eligibility to
  840  request a sentence review hearing.
  841         b.The person seeking sentence review must submit an
  842  application to the court of original jurisdiction requesting
  843  that a sentence review hearing be held. The sentencing court
  844  shall retain original jurisdiction for the duration of the
  845  sentence for this purpose.
  846         c.A person who is eligible for a sentence review hearing
  847  under this paragraph is entitled to be represented by counsel,
  848  and the court shall appoint a public defender to represent the
  849  person if he or she cannot afford an attorney.
  850         d.Upon receiving an application from an eligible person,
  851  the court of original jurisdiction shall hold a sentence review
  852  hearing to determine if the eligible person meets the criteria
  853  for resentencing under subparagraph 4. If the court determines
  854  at the sentence review hearing that the eligible person meets
  855  such criteria, the court may resentence the person as provided
  856  in paragraph (a); however, the new sentence may not exceed the
  857  person’s original sentence with credit for time served. If the
  858  court does not resentence the person under subparagraph 4., the
  859  court must provide written findings why resentencing is not
  860  appropriate.
  861         6. A person resentenced pursuant to this subsection is
  862  eligible to receive any gain-time pursuant to s. 944.275 which
  863  he or she was previously ineligible to receive under former s.
  864  775.082(9) It is the intent of the Legislature that offenders
  865  previously released from prison or a county detention facility
  866  following incarceration for an offense for which the sentence
  867  pronounced was a prison sentence who meet the criteria in
  868  paragraph (a) be punished to the fullest extent of the law and
  869  as provided in this subsection, unless the state attorney
  870  determines that extenuating circumstances exist which preclude
  871  the just prosecution of the offender, including whether the
  872  victim recommends that the offender not be sentenced as provided
  873  in this subsection.
  874         2. For every case in which the offender meets the criteria
  875  in paragraph (a) and does not receive the mandatory minimum
  876  prison sentence, the state attorney must explain the sentencing
  877  deviation in writing and place such explanation in the case file
  878  maintained by the state attorney.

  880  Florida Statutes, are amended to read:

  908  purpose of making motor vehicle tort claims or claims for

  916  matter of law.
  917         (9) A person may not organize, plan, or knowingly

 1196         Section 9. Section 921.002, Florida Statutes, is amended to
 1197  read:
 1198         921.002 The Public Safety Criminal Punishment Code.—The
 1199  Public Safety Code applies Criminal Punishment Code shall apply
 1200  to all felony offenses, except capital felonies, committed on or
 1201  after October 1, 1998.
 1202         (1) The provision of criminal penalties and of limitations
 1203  upon the application of such penalties is a matter of
 1204  predominantly substantive law and, as such, is a matter properly
 1205  addressed by the Legislature. The Legislature, in the exercise
 1206  of its authority and responsibility to establish sentencing
 1207  criteria, to provide for the imposition of criminal penalties,
 1208  and to make the best use of state prisons so that violent
 1209  criminal offenders are appropriately incarcerated, has
 1210  determined that it is in the best interest of the state to
 1211  develop, implement, and revise a sentencing policy. The Public
 1212  Safety Criminal Punishment Code embodies the principles that:
 1213         (a) Sentencing is neutral with respect to race, gender, and
 1214  social and economic status.
 1215         (b) The primary purpose of sentencing is public safety to
 1216  punish the offender. Rehabilitation is a desired goal of the
 1217  criminal justice system but is subordinate to the goal of public
 1218  safety punishment.
 1219         (c) The penalty imposed is commensurate with the severity
 1220  of the primary offense and the circumstances surrounding the
 1221  primary offense.
 1222         (d) The severity of the sentence increases with the length
 1223  and nature of the offender’s prior record.
 1224         (e) The sentence imposed by the sentencing judge reflects
 1225  the length of actual time to be served, shortened only by the
 1226  application of incentive and meritorious gain-time as provided
 1227  by law, and may not be shortened if the defendant would
 1228  consequently serve less than 85 percent of his or her term of
 1229  imprisonment as provided in s. 944.275(4). The provisions of
 1230  Chapter 947, relating to parole, does shall not apply to persons
 1231  sentenced under the Public Safety Criminal Punishment Code.
 1232         (f) Departures below the lowest permissible sentence
 1233  established by the code must be articulated in writing by the
 1234  trial court judge and made only when circumstances or factors
 1235  reasonably justify the mitigation of the sentence. The level of
 1236  proof necessary to establish facts that support a departure from
 1237  the lowest permissible sentence is a preponderance of the
 1238  evidence.
 1239         (g) The trial court judge may impose a sentence up to and
 1240  including the statutory maximum for any offense, including an
 1241  offense that is before the court due to a violation of probation
 1242  or community control.
 1243         (h) A sentence may be appealed on the basis that it departs
 1244  from the Public Safety Criminal Punishment Code only if the
 1245  sentence is below the lowest permissible sentence or as
 1246  enumerated in s. 924.06(1).
 1247         (i) Use of incarcerative sanctions is prioritized toward
 1248  offenders convicted of serious offenses and certain offenders
 1249  who have long prior records, in order to maximize the finite
 1250  capacities of state and local correctional facilities.
 1251         (2) When a defendant is before the court for sentencing for
 1252  more than one felony and the felonies were committed under more
 1253  than one version or revision of the former sentencing guidelines
 1254  or the code, each felony shall be sentenced under the guidelines
 1255  or the code in effect at the time the particular felony was
 1256  committed. This subsection does not apply to sentencing for any
 1257  capital felony.
 1258         (3) A court may impose a departure below the lowest
 1259  permissible sentence based upon circumstances or factors that
 1260  reasonably justify the mitigation of the sentence in accordance
 1261  with s. 921.0026. The level of proof necessary to establish
 1262  facts supporting the mitigation of a sentence is a preponderance
 1263  of the evidence. When multiple reasons exist to support the
 1264  mitigation, the mitigation shall be upheld when at least one
 1265  circumstance or factor justifies the mitigation regardless of
 1266  the presence of other circumstances or factors found not to
 1267  justify mitigation. Any sentence imposed below the lowest
 1268  permissible sentence must be explained in writing by the trial
 1269  court judge.
 1270         (4)(a) The Department of Corrections shall report on trends
 1271  in sentencing practices and sentencing score thresholds and
 1272  provide an analysis on the sentencing factors considered by the
 1273  courts and shall submit this information to the Legislature by
 1274  October 1 of each year.
 1275         (b) The Criminal Justice Estimating Conference, with the
 1276  assistance of the Department of Corrections, shall estimate the
 1277  impact of any proposed change to the Public Safety Criminal
 1278  Punishment Code on future rates of incarceration and on the
 1279  prison population. The Criminal Justice Estimating Conference
 1280  shall base its projections on historical data concerning
 1281  sentencing practices which have been accumulated by the
 1282  Department of Corrections and other relevant data from other
 1283  state agencies and records of the Department of Corrections
 1284  which disclose the average time served for offenses covered by
 1285  any proposed changes to the Public Safety Criminal Punishment
 1286  Code.
 1287         (c) In order to produce projects that are either required
 1288  by law or requested by the Legislature to assist the Legislature
 1289  in making modifications to the Public Safety Criminal Punishment
 1290  Code, the Department of Corrections is authorized to collect and
 1291  evaluate Public Safety Criminal Punishment Code scoresheets from
 1292  each of the judicial circuits after sentencing. Beginning in
 1293  1999, by October 1 of each year, the Department of Corrections
 1294  shall provide an annual report to the Legislature that shows the
 1295  rate of compliance of each judicial circuit in providing
 1296  scoresheets to the department.
 1297         Section 10. Paragraph (a) of subsection (2) of section
 1298  921.1402, Florida Statutes, is amended, and subsection (4) of
 1299  that section is reenacted, to read:

 1306  one of the following offenses, or of conspiracy to commit one of
 1307  the following offenses, murder if the murder offense for which
 1308  the person was previously convicted was part of a separate
 1309  criminal transaction or episode than the murder that which

 1325  be held. The juvenile offender must submit a new application to
 1326  the court of original jurisdiction to request subsequent
 1327  sentence review hearings pursuant to paragraph (2)(d). The
 1328  sentencing court shall retain original jurisdiction for the
 1329  duration of the sentence for this purpose.

 1378         (b)A young adult offender who is convicted of an offense
 1379  that is a felony of the first degree or that was reclassified as
 1380  a felony of the first degree and he or she is sentenced to a
 1381  term of more than 15 years under s. 775.082(3)(b)1. is entitled
 1382  to a review of his or her sentence after 15 years.
 1383         (5) The Department of Corrections must notify a young adult
 1384  offender in writing of his or her eligibility to request a
 1385  sentence review hearing 18 months before the young adult
 1386  offender is entitled to a sentence review hearing or notify him
 1387  or her immediately in writing if the offender is eligible as of
 1388  October 1, 2020.
 1389         (6) A young adult offender seeking a sentence review
 1390  hearing under this section must submit an application to the
 1391  court of original jurisdiction requesting that a sentence review
 1392  hearing be held. The young adult offender must submit a new
 1393  application to the court of original jurisdiction to request a
 1394  subsequent sentence review hearing pursuant to subsection (8).
 1395  The sentencing court shall retain original jurisdiction for the
 1396  duration of the sentence for this purpose.
 1397         (7) A young adult offender who is eligible for a sentence
 1398  review hearing under this section is entitled to be represented
 1399  by counsel, and the court shall appoint a public defender to
 1400  represent the young adult offender if he or she cannot afford an
 1401  attorney.
 1402         (8) If the young adult offender seeking sentence review
 1403  under paragraph (4)(a) or (4)(b) is not resentenced at the
 1404  initial sentence review hearing, he or she is eligible for one
 1405  subsequent review hearing 5 years after the initial review
 1406  hearing.
 1407         (9) Upon receiving an application from an eligible young
 1408  adult offender, the original sentencing court must hold a
 1409  sentence review hearing to determine whether to modify the young
 1410  adult offender’s sentence. When determining if it is appropriate
 1411  to modify the young adult offender’s sentence, the court must
 1412  consider any factor it deems appropriate, including, but not
 1413  limited to:
 1414         (a) Whether the young adult offender demonstrates maturity
 1415  and rehabilitation.
 1416         (b) Whether the young adult offender remains at the same
 1417  level of risk to society as he or she did at the time of the
 1418  initial sentencing.
 1419         (c) The opinion of the victim or the victim’s next of kin.
 1420  The absence of the victim or the victim’s next of kin from the
 1421  sentence review hearing may not be a factor in the determination
 1422  of the court under this section. The court must allow the victim
 1423  or victim’s next of kin to be heard in person, in writing, or by
 1424  electronic means. If the victim or the victim’s next of kin
 1425  chooses not to participate in the hearing, the court may
 1426  consider previous statements made by the victim or the victim’s
 1427  next of kin during the trial, initial sentencing phase, or
 1428  previous sentencing review hearings.
 1429         (d) Whether the young adult offender was a relatively minor
 1430  participant in the criminal offense or whether he or she acted
 1431  under extreme duress or under the domination of another person.
 1432         (e) Whether the young adult offender has shown sincere and
 1433  sustained remorse for the criminal offense.
 1434         (f) Whether the young adult offender’s age, maturity, or
 1435  psychological development at the time of the offense affected
 1436  his or her behavior.
 1437         (g) Whether the young adult offender has successfully
 1438  obtained a high school equivalency diploma or completed another
 1439  educational, technical, work, vocational, or self-rehabilitation
 1440  program, if such a program is available.
 1441         (h) Whether the young adult offender was a victim of
 1442  sexual, physical, or emotional abuse before he or she committed
 1443  the offense.
 1444         (i) The results of any mental health assessment, risk
 1445  assessment, or evaluation of the young adult offender as to
 1446  rehabilitation.
 1447         (10)(a) If the court determines at a sentence review
 1448  hearing that the young adult offender who is seeking sentence
 1449  review under paragraph (4)(a) has been rehabilitated and is
 1450  reasonably believed to be fit to reenter society, the court may
 1451  modify the sentence and impose a term of probation of at least 5
 1452  years.
 1453         (b) If the court determines at a sentence review hearing
 1454  that the young adult offender who is seeking sentence review
 1455  under paragraph (4)(b) has been rehabilitated and is reasonably
 1456  believed to be fit to reenter society, the court may modify the
 1457  sentence and impose a term of probation of at least 3 years.
 1458         (c) If the court determines that the young adult offender
 1459  seeking sentence review under paragraph (4)(a) or (4)(b) has not
 1460  demonstrated rehabilitation or is not fit to reenter society,
 1461  the court must issue a written order stating the reasons why the
 1462  sentence is not being modified.
 1463         Section 13. Effective July 1, 2020, section 925.11, Florida
 1464  Statutes, is amended to read:
 1465         925.11 Postsentencing forensic analysis DNA testing.—
 1466         (1)DEFINITIONS.—As used in this section, the term:
 1467         (a)“Forensic analysis” means the process by which a
 1468  forensic or scientific technique is applied to evidence or
 1469  biological material to identify the perpetrator of, or an
 1470  accomplice to, a crime. The term includes, but is not limited
 1471  to, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) testing.
 1472         (b)“Petitioner” means a defendant who has been convicted
 1473  of and sentenced for a felony.
 1474         (2)(1) PETITION FOR EXAMINATION.—
 1475         (a)1. A person who has entered a plea of guilty or nolo
 1476  contendere to a felony before July 1, 2020, or who has been
 1477  tried and found guilty of committing a felony and has been
 1478  sentenced by a court established by the laws of this state may
 1479  petition that court to order the forensic analysis examination
 1480  of physical evidence collected at the time of the investigation
 1481  of the crime for which he or she has been sentenced which may
 1482  result in evidence material to the identity of the perpetrator
 1483  of, or an accomplice to, the crime that resulted in the person’s
 1484  conviction that may contain DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and that
 1485  would exonerate that person or mitigate the sentence that person
 1486  received.
 1487         2.A person who has entered a plea of guilty or nolo
 1488  contendere to a felony prior to July 1, 2006, and has been
 1489  sentenced by a court established by the laws of this state may
 1490  petition that court to order the examination of physical
 1491  evidence collected at the time of the investigation of the crime
 1492  for which he or she has been sentenced that may contain DNA
 1493  (deoxyribonucleic acid) and that would exonerate that person.
 1494         (b) A petition for postsentencing forensic analysis DNA
 1495  testing under paragraph (a) may be filed or considered at any
 1496  time following the date that the judgment and sentence in the
 1497  case becomes final.
 1498         (3)(2) METHOD FOR SEEKING POSTSENTENCING FORENSIC ANALYSIS
 1499  DNA TESTING.—
 1500         (a) A The petition for postsentencing forensic analysis DNA
 1501  testing must be made under oath by the sentenced defendant and
 1502  must include all the following:
 1503         1. A statement of the facts relied on in support of the
 1504  petition, including a description of the physical evidence
 1505  containing DNA to be tested and, if known, the present location
 1506  or the last known location of the evidence and how it was
 1507  originally obtained;
 1508         2. A statement that the evidence was not previously
 1509  subjected to forensic analysis tested for DNA or a statement
 1510  that the results of any previous forensic analysis DNA testing
 1511  were inconclusive and that subsequent scientific developments in
 1512  forensic analysis DNA testing techniques would likely produce
 1513  evidence material to a definitive result establishing that the
 1514  identity of the perpetrator of, or an accomplice to, petitioner
 1515  is not the person who committed the crime;
 1516         3. A statement that the petitioner sentenced defendant is
 1517  innocent and how the forensic analysis DNA testing requested by
 1518  the petitioner may result in evidence that is material to
 1519  petition will exonerate the identity of the perpetrator of, or
 1520  an accomplice to, the defendant of the crime for which the
 1521  defendant was sentenced or will mitigate the sentence received
 1522  by the defendant for that crime;
 1523         4. A statement that identification of the petitioner
 1524  defendant is a genuinely disputed issue in the case, and why it
 1525  is an issue;
 1526         5.A statement that the petitioner will comply with any
 1527  court order to provide a biological sample for the purpose of
 1528  conducting requested forensic analysis and acknowledging such
 1529  analysis could produce exculpatory evidence or evidence
 1530  confirming the petitioner’s identity as the perpetrator of, or
 1531  an accomplice to, the crime or a separate crime;
 1532         6.5. Any other facts relevant to the petition; and
 1533         7.6. A certificate that a copy of the petition has been
 1534  served on the prosecuting authority; and
 1535         8.The petitioner’s sworn statement attesting to the
 1536  contents of the petition.
 1537         (b) Upon receiving the petition, the clerk of the court
 1538  shall file it and deliver the court file to the assigned judge.
 1539         (c) The court shall review the petition and deny it if it
 1540  is insufficient. If the petition is sufficient, the prosecuting
 1541  authority shall be ordered to respond to the petition within 30
 1542  days.
 1543         (d) Upon receiving the response of the prosecuting
 1544  authority, the court shall review the response and enter an
 1545  order on the merits of the petition or set the petition for a
 1546  hearing.
 1547         (e) Counsel may be appointed to assist the petitioner
 1548  sentenced defendant if the petition proceeds to a hearing and if
 1549  the court determines that the assistance of counsel is necessary
 1550  and makes the requisite finding of indigency.
 1551         (f) The court shall make all the following findings when
 1552  ruling on the petition:
 1553         1. Whether the petitioner sentenced defendant has shown
 1554  that the physical evidence that may be subjected to forensic
 1555  analysis contain DNA still exists;
 1556         2. Whether the results of forensic analysis DNA testing of
 1557  that physical evidence would be admissible at trial and whether
 1558  there exists reliable proof to establish that the evidence has
 1559  not been materially altered and would be admissible at a future
 1560  hearing; and
 1561         3. Whether there is a reasonable probability the forensic
 1562  analysis may result in evidence that is material to the identity
 1563  of the perpetrator of, or an accomplice to, the crime there is a
 1564  reasonable probability that the sentenced defendant would have
 1565  been acquitted or would have received a lesser sentence if the
 1566  DNA evidence had been admitted at trial.
 1567         (g) If the court orders forensic analysis DNA testing of
 1568  the physical evidence, the cost of such analysis testing may be
 1569  assessed against the petitioner sentenced defendant unless he or
 1570  she is indigent. If the petitioner sentenced defendant is
 1571  indigent, the state shall bear the cost of the forensic analysis
 1572  DNA testing ordered by the court, unless specified otherwise in
 1573  accordance with paragraph (i).
 1574         (h) Except as provided in paragraph (i), any forensic
 1575  analysis DNA testing ordered by the court shall be performed
 1576  carried out by the Department of Law Enforcement or its
 1577  designee, as provided in s. 943.3251.
 1578         (i)The court may order forensic analysis to be performed
 1579  by a private laboratory and may assess the cost of such analysis
 1580  against the petitioner if:
 1581         1.The prosecuting authority and the petitioner mutually
 1582  select a private laboratory to perform the forensic analysis;
 1583         2.The petitioner makes a sufficient showing that the
 1584  forensic analysis ordered by the court is of such a nature that
 1585  it cannot be performed by the Department of Law Enforcement or
 1586  its designee; or
 1587         3.The petitioner makes a sufficient showing that the
 1588  forensic analysis will be significantly delayed because of a
 1589  state laboratory backlog.
 1590         (j)Before the court may order forensic analysis to be
 1591  performed by a private laboratory, the petitioner shall certify
 1592  to the court that the private laboratory is:
 1593         1.Accredited by an accreditation body that is a signatory
 1594  to the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation Mutual
 1595  Recognition Agreement; and
 1596         2.Designated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation as
 1597  possessing an accreditation that includes DNA testing and the
 1598  laboratory is compliant with Federal Bureau of Investigation
 1599  quality assurance standards adopted in accordance with 34 U.S.C.
 1600  s. 12591, if DNA testing is requested.
 1601         (k)If the court orders forensic analysis in the form of
 1602  DNA testing and the resulting DNA sample meets statewide DNA
 1603  database submission standards established by the Department of
 1604  Law Enforcement, the department must perform a DNA database
 1605  search. A private laboratory ordered to perform forensic
 1606  analysis under paragraph (i) must cooperate with the prosecuting
 1607  authority and the Department of Law Enforcement for the purpose
 1608  of carrying out this requirement.
 1609         1.The department shall compare any DNA profiles obtained
 1610  from the testing to:
 1611         a.DNA profiles of known offenders maintained in the
 1612  statewide DNA database under s. 943.325;
 1613         b.DNA profiles from unsolved crimes maintained in the
 1614  statewide DNA database under s. 943.325; and
 1615         c.Any local DNA databases maintained by a law enforcement
 1616  agency in the judicial circuit in which the petitioner was
 1617  convicted.
 1618         2.If the testing complies with Federal Bureau of
 1619  Investigation requirements and the data meets national DNA index
 1620  system criteria, the department shall request the national DNA
 1621  index system to search its database of DNA profiles using any
 1622  profiles obtained from the testing.
 1623         (l)(i) The results of the forensic analysis and the results
 1624  of any search of the combined DNA index system and statewide and
 1625  local DNA databases DNA testing ordered by the court shall be
 1626  provided to the court, the petitioner sentenced defendant, and
 1627  the prosecuting authority. The petitioner or the state may use
 1628  the information for any lawful purpose.
 1629         (4)(3) RIGHT TO APPEAL; REHEARING.—
 1630         (a) An appeal from the court’s order on the petition for
 1631  postsentencing forensic analysis DNA testing may be taken by any
 1632  adversely affected party.
 1633         (b) An order denying relief shall include a statement that
 1634  the petitioner sentenced defendant has the right to appeal
 1635  within 30 days after the order denying relief is entered.
 1636         (c) The petitioner sentenced defendant may file a motion
 1637  for rehearing of any order denying relief within 15 days after
 1638  service of the order denying relief. The time for filing an
 1639  appeal shall be tolled until an order on the motion for
 1640  rehearing has been entered.
 1641         (d) The clerk of the court shall serve on all parties a
 1642  copy of any order rendered with a certificate of service,
 1643  including the date of service.
 1644         (5)(4) PRESERVATION OF EVIDENCE.—
 1645         (a) Governmental entities that may be in possession of any
 1646  physical evidence in the case, including, but not limited to,
 1647  any investigating law enforcement agency, the clerk of the
 1648  court, the prosecuting authority, or the Department of Law
 1649  Enforcement shall maintain any physical evidence collected at
 1650  the time of the crime for which a postsentencing forensic
 1651  analysis testing of DNA may be requested.
 1652         (b) In a case in which the death penalty is imposed, the
 1653  evidence shall be maintained for 60 days after execution of the
 1654  sentence. In all other cases, a governmental entity may dispose
 1655  of the physical evidence if the term of the sentence imposed in
 1656  the case has expired and no other provision of law or rule
 1657  requires that the physical evidence be preserved or retained.
 1658         (c)If physical evidence requested for forensic analysis,
 1659  last known to be in possession of a governmental entity, is
 1660  reported to be missing or destroyed in violation of this
 1661  section, the court may order the evidence custodian or other
 1662  relevant official to conduct a physical search for the evidence.
 1663  If a search is ordered, the governmental entity must produce a
 1664  report containing all of the following information and it must
 1665  be provided to the court, the petitioner, and the prosecuting
 1666  authority:
 1667         1.The nature of the search conducted;
 1668         2.The date the search was conducted;
 1669         3.The results of the search;
 1670         4.Any records showing the physical evidence was lost or
 1671  destroyed; and
 1672         5.The signature of the person who supervised the search,
 1673  attesting to the accuracy of the contents of the report.
 1674         Section 14. Effective July 1, 2020, section 925.12, Florida
 1675  Statutes, is amended to read:
 1676         925.12 Forensic analysis DNA testing; defendants entering
 1677  pleas.—
 1678         (1) For defendants who have entered a plea of guilty or
 1679  nolo contendere to a felony on or after July 1, 2006, but before
 1680  July 1, 2020, a defendant may petition for postsentencing
 1681  forensic analysis DNA testing under s. 925.11 under the
 1682  following circumstances:
 1683         (a) The facts on which the petition is predicated were
 1684  unknown to the petitioner or the petitioner’s attorney at the
 1685  time the plea was entered and could not have been ascertained by
 1686  the exercise of due diligence; or
 1687         (b) The physical evidence for which forensic analysis DNA
 1688  testing is sought was not disclosed to the defense by the state
 1689  before prior to the entry of the plea by the petitioner.
 1690         (2)For defendants who have entered a plea of guilty or
 1691  nolo contendere to a felony on or after July 1, 2020, a
 1692  defendant may petition for postsentencing forensic analysis
 1693  under s. 925.11 under the following circumstances:
 1694         (a)The facts on which the petition is predicated were
 1695  unknown to the petitioner or the petitioner’s attorney at the
 1696  time the plea was entered and could not have been ascertained by
 1697  the exercise of due diligence; or
 1698         (b)The physical evidence for which forensic analysis is
 1699  sought was not disclosed to the defense by the state before the
 1700  entry of the plea by the petitioner.
 1701         (3)(2) For defendants seeking to enter a plea of guilty or
 1702  nolo contendere to a felony on or after July 1, 2020 July 1,
 1703  2006, the court shall inquire of the defendant and of counsel
 1704  for the defendant and the state as to physical evidence
 1705  containing DNA known to exist that, if subjected to forensic
 1706  analysis, could produce evidence that is material to the
 1707  identification of the perpetrator of, or an accomplice to, the
 1708  crime before could exonerate the defendant prior to accepting a
 1709  plea of guilty or nolo contendere. If no such physical evidence
 1710  containing DNA that could exonerate the defendant is known to
 1711  exist, the court may proceed with consideration of accepting the
 1712  plea. If such physical evidence containing DNA that could
 1713  exonerate the defendant is known to exist, the court may
 1714  postpone the proceeding on the defendant’s behalf and order
 1715  forensic analysis DNA testing upon motion of counsel specifying
 1716  the physical evidence to be tested.
 1717         (4)(3) It is the intent of the Legislature that the Supreme
 1718  Court adopt rules of procedure consistent with this section for
 1719  a court, before prior to the acceptance of a plea, to make an
 1720  inquiry into all of the following matters:
 1721         (a) Whether counsel for the defense has reviewed the
 1722  discovery disclosed by the state and whether such discovery
 1723  included a listing or description of physical items of evidence.
 1724         (b) Whether the nature of the evidence against the
 1725  defendant disclosed through discovery has been reviewed with the
 1726  defendant.
 1727         (c) Whether the defendant or counsel for the defendant is
 1728  aware of any physical evidence disclosed by the state for which
 1729  forensic analysis could produce a result material to the
 1730  identification of the perpetrator of, or an accomplice to, the
 1731  crime DNA testing may exonerate the defendant.
 1732         (d) Whether the state is aware of any physical evidence for
 1733  which forensic analysis could produce a result material to the
 1734  identification of the perpetrator of, or an accomplice to, the
 1735  crime DNA testing may exonerate the defendant.
 1736         (5)(4) It is the intent of the Legislature that the
 1737  postponement of the proceedings by the court on the defendant’s
 1738  behalf under subsection (3) (2) constitute an extension
 1739  attributable to the defendant for purposes of the defendant’s
 1740  right to a speedy trial.
 1741         Section 15. Effective upon the same date that SB 1506 or
 1742  similar legislation takes effect, only if such legislation is
 1743  adopted in the same legislative session or an extension thereof
 1744  and becomes a law, section 943.0587, Florida Statutes, is
 1745  created to read:
 1746         943.0587 Driving while license suspended, revoked,
 1747  canceled, or disqualified expunction.—
 1748         (1) DEFINITIONS.—As used in this section, the term:
 1749         (a) “Former s. 322.34” is a reference to s. 322.34 as it
 1750  existed at any time before its amendment by chapter 2019-167,
 1751  Laws of Florida.
 1752         (b) “New s. 322.34” is a reference to s. 322.34 as it
 1753  exists after the amendments made by chapter 2019-167, Laws of
 1754  Florida, became effective.
 1755         (c) “Expunction” has the same meaning and effect as in s.
 1756  943.0585.
 1757         (2) ELIGIBILITY.—Notwithstanding any other law, a person is
 1758  eligible to petition a court to expunge a criminal history
 1759  record for a conviction under former s. 322.34 if:

 1761  adjudication of guilt for a violation of former s. 322.34 for
 1762  driving while license suspended, revoked, canceled, or
 1763  disqualified and whose conviction would not be classified as a
 1764  felony under new s. 322.34; and
 1765         (b)The person has never been convicted of a felony other
 1766  than for the felony offenses of the former s. 322.34 for driving
 1767  while license suspended, revoked, canceled, or disqualified.
 1768         (3) CERTIFICATE OF ELIGIBILITY.—Before petitioning a court
 1769  to expunge a criminal history record under this section, a
 1770  person seeking to expunge a criminal history record must apply
 1771  to the department for a certificate of eligibility for
 1772  expunction. The department shall adopt rules to establish
 1773  procedures for applying for and issuing a certificate of
 1774  eligibility for expunction.
 1775         (a) The department shall issue a certificate of eligibility
 1776  for expunction to a person who is the subject of a criminal
 1777  history record under this section if that person:
 1778         1. Satisfies the eligibility criteria in subsection (2);
 1779         2. Has submitted to the department a written certified
 1780  statement from the appropriate state attorney or statewide
 1781  prosecutor which confirms the criminal history record complies
 1782  with the criteria in subsection (2);
 1783         3. Has submitted to the department a certified copy of the
 1784  disposition of the charge or charges to which the petition to
 1785  expunge pertains; and
 1786         4. Remits a $75 processing fee to the department for
 1787  placement in the Department of Law Enforcement Operating Trust
 1788  Fund, unless the executive director waives such fee.
 1789         (b) A certificate of eligibility for expunction is valid
 1790  for 12 months after the date stamped on the certificate when
 1791  issued by the department. After that time, the petitioner must
 1792  reapply to the department for a new certificate of eligibility.
 1793  The petitioner’s status and the law in effect at the time of the
 1794  renewal application determine the petitioner’s eligibility.
 1795         (4) PETITION.—Each petition to expunge a criminal history
 1796  record must be accompanied by the following:
 1797         (a) A valid certificate of eligibility issued by the
 1798  department.
 1799         (b) The petitioner’s sworn statement that he or she:
 1800         1. Satisfies the eligibility requirements for expunction in
 1801  subsection (2); and
 1802         2. Is eligible for expunction to the best of his or her
 1803  knowledge.
 1804         (5) PENALTIES.—A person who knowingly provides false
 1805  information on such sworn statement commits a felony of the
 1806  third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083,
 1807  or s. 775.084.
 1808         (6) COURT AUTHORITY.—
 1809         (a)The courts of this state have jurisdiction over their
 1810  own procedures, including the maintenance, expunction, and
 1811  correction of judicial records containing criminal history
 1812  information to the extent that such procedures are not
 1813  inconsistent with the conditions, responsibilities, and duties
 1814  established by this section.
 1815         (b) A court of competent jurisdiction shall order a
 1816  criminal justice agency to expunge the criminal history record
 1817  of a person who complies with the requirements of this section.
 1818  The court may not order a criminal justice agency to expunge a
 1819  criminal history record under this section until the person
 1820  seeking to expunge a criminal history record has applied for and
 1821  received a certificate of eligibility under subsection (3).
 1822         (c)Expunction granted under this section does not prevent
 1823  the person who receives such relief from petitioning for the
 1824  expunction or sealing of a later criminal history record, as
 1825  provided for in ss. 943.0583, 943.0585, and 943.059, if the
 1826  person is otherwise eligible under those sections.
 1827         (7) PROCESSING OF A PETITION OR AN ORDER.—
 1828         (a) In a judicial proceeding under this section, a copy of
 1829  the completed petition to expunge shall be served upon the
 1830  appropriate state attorney or the statewide prosecutor and upon
 1831  the arresting agency; however, it is not necessary to make any
 1832  agency other than the state a party. The appropriate state
 1833  attorney or the statewide prosecutor and the arresting agency
 1834  may respond to the court regarding the completed petition to
 1835  expunge.
 1836         (b)If relief is granted by the court, the clerk of the
 1837  court shall certify copies of the order to the appropriate state
 1838  attorney or the statewide prosecutor and the arresting agency.
 1839  The arresting agency shall forward the order to any other agency
 1840  to which the arresting agency disseminated the criminal history
 1841  record information to which the order pertains. The department
 1842  shall forward the order to expunge to the Federal Bureau of
 1843  Investigation. The clerk of the court shall certify a copy of
 1844  the order to any other agency which the records of the court
 1845  reflect has received the criminal history record from the court.
 1846         (c)The department or any other criminal justice agency is
 1847  not required to act on an order to expunge entered by a court
 1848  when such order does not comply with the requirements of this
 1849  section. Upon receipt of such an order, the department must
 1850  notify the issuing court, the appropriate state attorney or
 1851  statewide prosecutor, the petitioner or the petitioner’s
 1852  attorney, and the arresting agency of the reason for
 1853  noncompliance. The appropriate state attorney or statewide
 1854  prosecutor shall take action within 60 days to correct the
 1855  record and petition the court to void the order. No cause of
 1856  action, including contempt of court, shall arise against any
 1857  criminal justice agency for failure to comply with an order to
 1858  expunge when the petitioner for such order failed to obtain the
 1859  certificate of eligibility as required by this section or such
 1860  order does not otherwise comply with the requirements of this
 1861  section.
 1862         (8) EFFECT OF EXPUNCTION ORDER.—
 1863         (a)The person who is the subject of a criminal history
 1864  record that is expunged under this section may lawfully deny or

 1892  744.3125.
 1893         (b)Subject to the exceptions in paragraph (a), a person
 1894  who has been granted an expunction under this section may not be
 1895  held under any law of this state to commit perjury or to be
 1896  otherwise liable for giving a false statement by reason of such
 1897  person’s failure to recite or acknowledge an expunged criminal
 1898  history record.
 1899         Section 16. Effective July 1, 2020, subsections (6) and
 1900  (14) of section 943.325, Florida Statutes, are amended to read:

 1919         (14) RESULTS.—The results of a DNA analysis and the
 1920  comparison of analytic results shall be released only to
 1921  criminal justice agencies as defined in s. 943.045 at the
 1922  request of the agency or as required by s. 925.11 or s. 925.12.
 1923  Otherwise, such information is confidential and exempt from s.
 1924  119.07(1) and s. 24(a), Art. I of the State Constitution.
 1925         Section 17. Effective July 1, 2020, section 943.3251,
 1926  Florida Statutes, is amended to read:
 1927         943.3251 Postsentencing forensic analysis and DNA database
 1928  searches DNA testing.—
 1929         (1) When a court orders postsentencing forensic analysis
 1930  DNA testing of physical evidence, pursuant to s. 925.11, the
 1931  Florida Department of Law Enforcement, or its designee, or a
 1932  private laboratory shall carry out the analysis. If the forensic
 1933  analysis produces a DNA sample meeting statewide DNA database
 1934  submission standards, the department shall conduct a DNA
 1935  database search testing.
 1936         (2) The cost of forensic analysis and any database search
 1937  such testing may be assessed against the petitioner sentenced
 1938  defendant, pursuant to s. 925.11, unless he or she is indigent.
 1939         (3) The results of postsentencing forensic analysis and any
 1940  database search DNA testing shall be provided to the court, the
 1941  petitioner sentenced defendant, and the prosecuting authority.
 1942         Section 18. Paragraph (a) of subsection (7) of section
 1943  944.705, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:
 1944         944.705 Release orientation program.—
 1945         (7)(a) The department shall notify every inmate in the
 1946  inmate’s release documents:
 1947         1. Of all outstanding terms of the inmate’s sentence at the
 1948  time of release to assist the inmate in determining his or her
 1949  status with regard to the completion of all terms of sentence,
 1950  as that term is defined in s. 98.0751. This subparagraph does
 1951  not apply to inmates who are being released from the custody of
 1952  the department to any type of supervision monitored by the
 1953  department;
 1954         2. Of the dates of admission to and release from the
 1955  custody of the department, including the total length of the
 1956  term of imprisonment for which he or she is being released; and
 1957         3.2. In not less than 18-point type, that the inmate may be
 1958  sentenced pursuant to s. 775.082(9) if the inmate commits any
 1959  felony offense described in s. 775.082(9) within 3 years after
 1960  the inmate’s release. This notice must be prefaced by the word
 1961  “WARNING” in boldfaced type.
 1962         Section 19. Section 945.0911, Florida Statutes, is created
 1963  to read:
 1964         945.0911 Conditional medical release.—
 1965         (1) FINDINGS.—The Legislature finds that the number of
 1966  inmates with terminal medical conditions or who are suffering
 1967  from severe debilitating or incapacitating medical conditions
 1968  who are incarcerated in the state’s prisons has grown
 1969  significantly in recent years. Further, the Legislature finds
 1970  that the condition of inmates who are terminally ill or
 1971  suffering from a debilitating or incapacitating condition may be
 1972  exacerbated by imprisonment due to the stress linked to prison
 1973  life. The Legislature also finds that recidivism rates are
 1974  greatly reduced with inmates suffering from such medical
 1975  conditions who are released into the community. Therefore, the
 1976  Legislature finds that it is of great public importance to find
 1977  a compassionate solution to the challenges presented by the
 1978  imprisonment of inmates who are terminally ill or are suffering
 1979  from a debilitating or incapacitating condition while also
 1980  ensuring that the public safety of Florida’s communities remains
 1981  protected.
 1982         (2) CREATION.—There is established a conditional medical
 1983  release program within the department for the purpose of
 1984  determining whether release is appropriate for eligible inmates,
 1985  supervising the released inmates, and conducting revocation
 1986  hearings as provided for in this section. The establishment of
 1987  the conditional medical release program must include a panel of
 1988  at least three people appointed by the secretary or his or her
 1989  designee for the purpose of determining the appropriateness of
 1990  conditional medical release and conducting revocation hearings
 1991  on the inmate releases.
 1992         (3)DEFINITIONS.—As used in this section, the term:
 1993         (a) “Inmate with a debilitating illness” means an inmate
 1994  who is determined to be suffering from a significant terminal or
 1995  nonterminal condition, disease, or syndrome that has rendered
 1996  the inmate so physically or cognitively impaired, debilitated,
 1997  or incapacitated as to create a reasonable probability that the
 1998  inmate does not constitute a danger to himself or herself or to
 1999  others.
 2000         (b) “Permanently incapacitated inmate” means an inmate who
 2001  has a condition caused by injury, disease, or illness which, to
 2002  a reasonable degree of medical certainty, renders the inmate
 2003  permanently and irreversibly physically incapacitated to the
 2004  extent that the inmate does not constitute a danger to himself
 2005  or herself or to others.
 2006         (c) “Terminally ill inmate” means an inmate who has a
 2007  condition caused by injury, disease, or illness which, to a
 2008  reasonable degree of medical certainty, renders the inmate
 2009  terminally ill to the extent that there can be no recovery,
 2010  death is expected within 12 months, and the inmate does not
 2011  constitute a danger to himself or herself or to others.
 2012         (4) ELIGIBILITY.—An inmate is eligible for consideration
 2013  for release under the conditional medical release program when
 2014  the inmate, because of an existing medical or physical
 2015  condition, is determined by the department to be an inmate with
 2016  a debilitating illness, a permanently incapacitated inmate, or a
 2017  terminally ill inmate. Notwithstanding any other law, an inmate
 2018  who meets this eligibility criteria may be released from the
 2019  custody of the department pursuant to this section before
 2020  satisfying 85 percent of his or her term of imprisonment.
 2021         (5) REFERRAL FOR CONSIDERATION.—
 2022         (a)1.Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, any
 2023  inmate in the custody of the department who meets one or more of
 2024  the eligibility requirements under subsection (4) must be
 2025  considered for conditional medical release.
 2026         2. The authority to grant conditional medical release rests
 2027  solely with the department. An inmate does not have a right to
 2028  release or to a medical evaluation to determine eligibility for
 2029  release pursuant to this section.
 2030         (b) The department must identify inmates who may be
 2031  eligible for conditional medical release based upon available
 2032  medical information. In considering an inmate for conditional
 2033  medical release, the department may require additional medical
 2034  evidence, including examinations of the inmate, or any other
 2035  additional investigations the department deems necessary for
 2036  determining the appropriateness of the eligible inmate’s
 2037  release.
 2038         (c) The department must refer an inmate to the panel
 2039  established under subsection (2) for review and determination of
 2040  conditional medical release upon his or her identification as
 2041  potentially eligible for release pursuant to this section.
 2042         (d) If the case that resulted in the inmate’s commitment to
 2043  the department involved a victim, and the victim specifically
 2044  requested notification pursuant to s. 16, Art. I of the State
 2045  Constitution, the department must notify the victim of the
 2046  inmate’s referral to the panel immediately upon identification
 2047  of the inmate as potentially eligible for release under this
 2048  section. Additionally, the victim must be afforded the right to
 2049  be heard regarding the release of the inmate.
 2050         (6) DETERMINATION OF RELEASE.—
 2051         (a)The panel established in subsection (2) must conduct a
 2052  hearing to determine whether conditional medical release is
 2053  appropriate for the inmate. Before the hearing, the director of
 2054  inmate health services or his or her designee must review any
 2055  relevant information, including, but not limited to, medical
 2056  evidence, and provide the panel with a recommendation regarding
 2057  the appropriateness of releasing the inmate pursuant to this
 2058  section. The hearing must be conducted by the panel:
 2059         1. By April 1, 2021, if the inmate is immediately eligible
 2060  for consideration for the conditional medical release program
 2061  when this section took effect on October 1, 2020.
 2062         2. By July 1, 2021, if the inmate becomes eligible for
 2063  consideration for the conditional medical release program after
 2064  October 1, 2020, but before July 1, 2021.
 2065         3. Within 45 days after receiving the referral if the
 2066  inmate becomes eligible for conditional medical release any time
 2067  on or after July 1, 2021.
 2068         (b) A majority of the panel members must agree that the
 2069  inmate is appropriate for release pursuant to this section. If
 2070  conditional medical release is approved, the inmate must be
 2071  released by the department to the community within a reasonable
 2072  amount of time with necessary release conditions imposed
 2073  pursuant to subsection (7).
 2074         (c)1. An inmate who is denied conditional medical release
 2075  by the panel may have the decision reviewed by the department’s
 2076  general counsel and chief medical officer, who must make a
 2077  recommendation to the secretary. The secretary must review all
 2078  relevant information and make a final decision about the
 2079  appropriateness of conditional medical release pursuant to this
 2080  section. The decision of the secretary is a final administrative
 2081  decision not subject to appeal.
 2082         2. An inmate who requests to have the decision reviewed in
 2083  accordance with this paragraph must do so in a manner prescribed
 2084  by rule. An inmate who is denied conditional medical release may
 2085  be subsequently reconsidered for such release in a manner
 2086  prescribed by department rule.
 2087         (7) RELEASE CONDITIONS.—
 2088         (a) An inmate granted release pursuant to this section is
 2089  released for a period equal to the length of time remaining on
 2090  his or her term of imprisonment on the date the release is
 2091  granted. Such inmate is considered a medical releasee upon
 2092  release from the department into the community. The medical
 2093  releasee must comply with all reasonable conditions of release
 2094  the department imposes, which must include, at a minimum:
 2095         1. Periodic medical evaluations at intervals determined by
 2096  the department at the time of release.
 2097         2. Supervision by an officer trained to handle special
 2098  offender caseloads.
 2099         3. Active electronic monitoring, if such monitoring is
 2100  determined to be necessary to ensure the safety of the public
 2101  and the medical releasee’s compliance with release conditions.
 2102         4. Any conditions of community control provided for in s.
 2103  948.101.
 2104         5. Any other conditions the department deems appropriate to
 2105  ensure the safety of the community and compliance by the medical
 2106  releasee.
 2107         (b) A medical releasee is considered to be in the custody,
 2108  supervision, and control of the department, which, for purposes
 2109  of this section, does not create a duty for the department to
 2110  provide the medical releasee with medical care upon release into
 2111  the community. The medical releasee remains eligible to earn or
 2112  lose gain-time in accordance with s. 944.275 and department
 2113  rule. The medical releasee may not be counted in the prison
 2114  system population, and the medical releasee’s approved
 2115  community-based housing location may not be counted in the
 2116  capacity figures for the prison system.
 2117         (8) REVOCATION HEARING AND RECOMMITMENT.—
 2118         (a)1.If the medical releasee’s supervision officer or a
 2119  duly authorized representative of the department discovers that
 2120  the medical or physical condition of the medical releasee has
 2121  improved to the extent that she or he would no longer be
 2122  eligible for release under this section, the conditional medical
 2123  release may be revoked. The department may order, as prescribed
 2124  by department rule, that the medical releasee be returned to the
 2125  custody of the department for a conditional medical release
 2126  revocation hearing or may allow the medical releasee to remain
 2127  in the community pending the revocation hearing. If the
 2128  department elects to order the medical releasee to be returned
 2129  to custody pending the revocation hearing, the officer or duly
 2130  authorized representative may cause a warrant to be issued for
 2131  the arrest of the medical releasee.
 2132         2. A medical releasee may admit to the allegation of
 2133  improved medical or physical condition or may elect to proceed
 2134  to a revocation hearing. The revocation hearing must be
 2135  conducted by the panel established in subsection (2). Before a
 2136  revocation hearing pursuant to this paragraph, the director of
 2137  inmate health services or his or her designee must review any
 2138  medical evidence pertaining to the medical releasee and provide
 2139  the panel with a recommendation regarding the medical releasee’s
 2140  improvement and current medical or physical condition.
 2141         3. A majority of the panel members must agree that
 2142  revocation is appropriate for the medical releasee’s conditional
 2143  medical release to be revoked. If conditional medical release is
 2144  revoked due to improvement in his or her medical or physical
 2145  condition, the medical releasee must be recommitted to the
 2146  department to serve the balance of his or her sentence in an
 2147  institution designated by the department with credit for the
 2148  time served on conditional medical release and without
 2149  forfeiture of any gain-time accrued before recommitment. If the
 2150  medical releasee whose conditional medical release is revoked
 2151  due to an improvement in his or her medical or physical
 2152  condition would otherwise be eligible for parole or any other
 2153  release program, he or she may be considered for such release
 2154  program pursuant to law.
 2155         4. A medical releasee whose conditional medical release is
 2156  revoked pursuant to this paragraph may have the decision
 2157  reviewed by the department’s general counsel and chief medical
 2158  officer, who must make a recommendation to the secretary. The
 2159  secretary must review all relevant information and make a final
 2160  decision about the appropriateness of the revocation of
 2161  conditional medical release pursuant to this paragraph. The
 2162  decision of the secretary is a final administrative decision not
 2163  subject to appeal.
 2164         (b)1. The medical releasee’s conditional medical release
 2165  may also be revoked for violation of any release conditions the
 2166  department establishes, including, but not limited to, a new
 2167  violation of law. The department may terminate the medical
 2168  releasee’s conditional medical release and return him or her to
 2169  the same or another institution designated by the department.
 2170         2. If a duly authorized representative of the department
 2171  has reasonable grounds to believe that a medical releasee has
 2172  violated the conditions of his or her release in a material
 2173  respect, such representative may cause a warrant to be issued
 2174  for the arrest of the medical releasee. A law enforcement
 2175  officer or a probation officer may arrest the medical releasee
 2176  without a warrant in accordance with s. 948.06 if there are
 2177  reasonable grounds to believe he or she has violated the terms
 2178  and conditions of his or her conditional medical release. The
 2179  law enforcement officer must report the medical releasee’s
 2180  alleged violations to the supervising probation office or the
 2181  department’s emergency action center for initiation of
 2182  revocation proceedings as prescribed by the department by rule.
 2183         3. If the basis of the violation of release conditions is
 2184  related to a new violation of law, the medical releasee must be
 2185  detained without bond until his or her initial appearance, at
 2186  which a judicial determination of probable cause is made. If the
 2187  judge determines that there was no probable cause for the
 2188  arrest, the medical releasee may be released. If the judge
 2189  determines that there was probable cause for the arrest, the
 2190  judge’s determination also constitutes reasonable grounds to
 2191  believe that the medical releasee violated the conditions of the
 2192  conditional medical release.
 2193         4. The department must order that the medical releasee
 2194  subject to revocation under this paragraph be returned to
 2195  department custody for a conditional medical release revocation
 2196  hearing. A medical releasee may admit to the alleged violation
 2197  of the conditions of conditional medical release or may elect to
 2198  proceed to a revocation hearing. The revocation hearing must be
 2199  conducted by the panel established in subsection (2).
 2200         5. A majority of the panel members must agree that
 2201  revocation is appropriate for the medical releasee’s conditional
 2202  medical release to be revoked. If conditional medical release is
 2203  revoked pursuant to this paragraph, the medical releasee must
 2204  serve the balance of his or her sentence in an institution
 2205  designated by the department with credit for the actual time
 2206  served on conditional medical release. The releasee’s gain-time
 2207  accrued before recommitment may be forfeited pursuant to s.
 2208  944.28(1). If the medical releasee whose conditional medical
 2209  release is revoked subject to this paragraph would otherwise be
 2210  eligible for parole or any other release program, he or she may
 2211  be considered for such release program pursuant to law.
 2212         6. A medical releasee whose conditional medical release has
 2213  been revoked pursuant to this paragraph may have the revocation
 2214  reviewed by the department’s general counsel, who must make a
 2215  recommendation to the secretary. The secretary must review all
 2216  relevant information and make a final decision about the
 2217  appropriateness of the revocation of conditional medical release
 2218  pursuant to this paragraph. The decision of the secretary is a
 2219  final administrative decision not subject to appeal.
 2220         (c)1. If the medical releasee subject to revocation under
 2221  paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) elects to proceed with a hearing,
 2222  the medical releasee must be informed orally and in writing of
 2223  the following:
 2224         a. The alleged basis for the pending revocation proceeding
 2225  against the releasee.
 2226         b. The releasee’s right to be represented by counsel.
 2227  However, this sub-subparagraph does not create a right to
 2228  publicly funded legal counsel.
 2229         c. The releasee’s right to be heard in person.
 2230         d. The releasee’s right to secure, present, and compel the
 2231  attendance of witnesses relevant to the proceeding.
 2232         e. The releasee’s right to produce documents on his or her
 2233  own behalf.
 2234         f. The releasee’s right of access to all evidence used to
 2235  support the revocation proceeding against the releasee and to
 2236  confront and cross-examine adverse witnesses.
 2237         g. The releasee’s right to waive the hearing.
 2238         2. If the panel approves the revocation of the medical
 2239  releasee’s conditional medical release under paragraph (a) or
 2240  paragraph (b), the panel must provide a written statement as to
 2241  evidence relied on and reasons for revocation.
 2242         (d) A medical releasee whose conditional medical release is
 2243  revoked and who is recommitted to the department under this
 2244  subsection must comply with the 85 percent requirement in
 2245  accordance with ss. 921.002 and 944.275 upon recommitment.
 2246         (9) SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS UPON AN INMATE’S DIAGNOSIS OF A
 2247  TERMINAL CONDITION.—
 2248         (a) If an inmate is diagnosed with a terminal medical
 2249  condition that makes him or her eligible for consideration for
 2250  release under paragraph (3)(c) while in the custody of the
 2251  department, subject to confidentiality requirements, the
 2252  department must:
 2253         1.Notify the inmate’s family or next of kin and attorney,
 2254  if applicable, of such diagnosis within 72 hours after the
 2255  diagnosis.
 2256         2.Provide the inmate’s family, including extended family,
 2257  with an opportunity to visit the inmate in person within 7 days
 2258  after the diagnosis.
 2259         3.Initiate a review for conditional medical release as
 2260  provided for in this section immediately upon the diagnosis.
 2261         (b) If the inmate has mental and physical capacity, he or
 2262  she must consent to release of confidential information for the
 2263  department to comply with the notification requirements required
 2264  in this subsection.
 2265         (10) SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY.—Unless otherwise provided by law
 2266  and in accordance with s. 13, Art. X of the State Constitution,
 2267  members of the panel established in subsection (2) who are
 2268  involved with decisions that grant or revoke conditional medical
 2269  release are provided immunity from liability for actions that
 2270  directly relate to such decisions.
 2271         (11) RULEMAKING AUTHORITY.—The department may adopt rules
 2272  as necessary to implement this section.
 2273         Section 20. Section 945.0912, Florida Statutes, is created
 2274  to read:
 2275         945.0912 Conditional aging inmate release.—
 2276         (1) FINDINGS.—The Legislature finds that the number of
 2277  aging inmates incarcerated in the state’s prisons has grown
 2278  significantly in recent years. Further, the Legislature finds
 2279  that imprisonment tends to exacerbate the effects of aging due
 2280  to histories of substance abuse and inadequate preventive care
 2281  before imprisonment and stress linked to prison life. The
 2282  Legislature also finds that recidivism rates are greatly reduced
 2283  with older inmates who are released into the community.
 2284  Therefore, the Legislature finds that it is of great public
 2285  importance to find a compassionate solution to the challenges
 2286  presented by the imprisonment of aging inmates while also
 2287  ensuring that the public safety of Florida’s communities remains
 2288  protected.
 2289         (2) CREATION.—There is established a conditional aging
 2290  inmate release program within the department for the purpose of
 2291  determining eligible inmates who are appropriate for such
 2292  release, supervising the released inmates, and conducting
 2293  revocation hearings as provided for in this section. The program
 2294  must include a panel of at least three people appointed by the
 2295  secretary or his or her designee for the purpose of determining
 2296  the appropriateness of conditional aging inmate release and
 2297  conducting revocation hearings on the inmate releases.
 2298         (3) ELIGIBILITY.—
 2299         (a) An inmate is eligible for consideration for release
 2300  under the conditional aging inmate release program when the
 2301  inmate has reached 65 years of age and has served at least 10
 2302  years on his or her term of imprisonment. Notwithstanding any
 2303  other provision of law, an inmate who meets the above criteria
 2304  may be released from the custody of the department pursuant to
 2305  this section before satisfying 85 percent of his or her term of
 2306  imprisonment.
 2307         (b) An inmate may not be considered for release through the
 2308  conditional aging inmate release program if he or she has ever
 2309  been found guilty of, regardless of adjudication, or entered a
 2310  plea of nolo contendere or guilty to, or has been adjudicated
 2311  delinquent for committing:
 2312         1. Any offense classified as a capital felony, life felony,
 2313  or first degree felony punishable by a term of years not
 2314  exceeding life imprisonment.
 2315         2. Any violation of law that resulted in the killing of a
 2316  human being.
 2317         3. Any felony offense that serves as a predicate to
 2318  registration as a sexual offender in accordance with s.
 2319  943.0435; or
 2320         4. Any similar offense committed in another jurisdiction
 2321  which would be an offense listed in this paragraph if it had
 2322  been committed in violation of the laws of this state.
 2323         (c) An inmate who has previously been released on any form
 2324  of conditional or discretionary release and who was recommitted
 2325  to the department as a result of a finding that he or she
 2326  subsequently violated the terms of such conditional or
 2327  discretionary release may not be considered for release through
 2328  the program.
 2329         (4) REFERRAL FOR CONSIDERATION.—
 2330         (a)1. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, an
 2331  inmate in the custody of the department who is eligible for
 2332  consideration pursuant to subsection (3) must be considered for
 2333  the conditional aging inmate release program.
 2334         2. The authority to grant conditional aging inmate release
 2335  rests solely with the department. An inmate does not have a
 2336  right to such release.
 2337         (b) The department must identify inmates who may be
 2338  eligible for the conditional aging inmate release program. In
 2339  considering an inmate for conditional aging inmate release, the
 2340  department may require the production of additional evidence or
 2341  any other additional investigations that the department deems
 2342  necessary for determining the appropriateness of the eligible
 2343  inmate’s release.
 2344         (c) The department must refer an inmate to the panel
 2345  established under subsection (2) for review and determination of
 2346  conditional aging inmate release upon his or her identification
 2347  as potentially eligible for release pursuant to this section.
 2348         (d) If the case that resulted in the inmate’s commitment to
 2349  the department involved a victim, and the victim specifically
 2350  requested notification pursuant to s. 16, Art. I of the State
 2351  Constitution, the department must notify the victim, in a manner
 2352  prescribed by rule, of the inmate’s referral to the panel
 2353  immediately upon identification of the inmate as potentially
 2354  eligible for release under this section. Additionally, the
 2355  victim must be afforded the right to be heard regarding the
 2356  release of the inmate.
 2357         (5) DETERMINATION OF RELEASE.—
 2358         (a)The panel established in subsection (2) must conduct a
 2359  hearing to determine whether the inmate is appropriate for
 2360  conditional aging inmate release. The hearing must be conducted
 2361  by the panel:
 2362         1. By April 1, 2021, if the inmate is immediately eligible
 2363  for consideration for the conditional aging inmate release
 2364  program when this section took effect on October 1, 2020.
 2365         2. By July 1, 2021, if the inmate becomes eligible for
 2366  consideration for the conditional aging inmate release program
 2367  after October 1, 2020, but before July 1, 2021.
 2368         3. Within 45 days after receiving the referral if the
 2369  inmate becomes eligible for conditional aging inmate release any
 2370  time on or after July 1, 2021.
 2371         (b) A majority of the panel members must agree that the
 2372  inmate is appropriate for release pursuant to this section. If
 2373  conditional aging inmate release is approved, the inmate must be
 2374  released by the department to the community within a reasonable
 2375  amount of time with necessary release conditions imposed
 2376  pursuant to subsection (6).
 2377         (c)1. An inmate who is denied conditional aging inmate
 2378  release by the panel may have the decision reviewed by the
 2379  department’s general counsel, who must make a recommendation to
 2380  the secretary. The secretary must review all relevant
 2381  information and make a final decision about the appropriateness
 2382  of conditional aging inmate release pursuant to this section.
 2383  The decision of the secretary is a final administrative decision
 2384  not subject to appeal.
 2385         2. An inmate who requests to have the decision reviewed in
 2386  accordance with this paragraph must do so in a manner prescribed
 2387  by rule. An inmate who is denied conditional aging inmate
 2388  release may be subsequently reconsidered for such release in a
 2389  manner prescribed by rule.
 2390         (6) RELEASE CONDITIONS.—
 2391         (a) An inmate granted release pursuant to this section is
 2392  released for a period equal to the length of time remaining on
 2393  his or her term of imprisonment on the date the release is
 2394  granted. Such inmate is considered an aging releasee upon
 2395  release from the department into the community. The aging
 2396  releasee must comply with all reasonable conditions of release
 2397  the department imposes, which must include, at a minimum:
 2398         1. Supervision by an officer trained to handle special
 2399  offender caseloads.
 2400         2. Active electronic monitoring, if such monitoring is
 2401  determined to be necessary to ensure the safety of the public
 2402  and the aging releasee’s compliance with release conditions.
 2403         3. Any conditions of community control provided for in s.
 2404  948.101.
 2405         4. Any other conditions the department deems appropriate to
 2406  ensure the safety of the community and compliance by the aging
 2407  releasee.
 2408         (b) An aging releasee is considered to be in the custody,
 2409  supervision, and control of the department, which, for purposes
 2410  of this section, does not create a duty for the department to
 2411  provide the aging releasee with medical care upon release into
 2412  the community. The aging releasee remains eligible to earn or
 2413  lose gain-time in accordance with s. 944.275 and department
 2414  rule. The aging releasee may not be counted in the prison system
 2415  population, and the aging releasee’s approved community-based
 2416  housing location may not be counted in the capacity figures for
 2417  the prison system.
 2418         (7) REVOCATION HEARING AND RECOMMITMENT.—
 2419         (a)1.An aging releasee’s conditional aging inmate release
 2420  may be revoked for a violation of any condition of the release
 2421  established by the department, including, but not limited to, a
 2422  new violation of law. The department may terminate the aging
 2423  releasee’s conditional aging inmate release and return him or
 2424  her to the same or another institution designated by the
 2425  department.
 2426         2. If a duly authorized representative of the department
 2427  has reasonable grounds to believe that an aging releasee has
 2428  violated the conditions of his or her release in a material
 2429  respect, such representative may cause a warrant to be issued
 2430  for the arrest of the aging releasee. A law enforcement officer
 2431  or a probation officer may arrest the aging releasee without a
 2432  warrant in accordance with s. 948.06, if there are reasonable
 2433  grounds to believe he or she has violated the terms and
 2434  conditions of his or her conditional aging inmate release. The
 2435  law enforcement officer must report the aging releasee’s alleged
 2436  violations to the supervising probation office or the
 2437  department’s emergency action center for initiation of
 2438  revocation proceedings as prescribed by the department by rule.
 2439         3. If the basis of the violation of release conditions is
 2440  related to a new violation of law, the aging releasee must be
 2441  detained without bond until his or her initial appearance, at
 2442  which a judicial determination of probable cause is made. If the
 2443  judge determines that there was no probable cause for the
 2444  arrest, the aging releasee may be released. If the judge
 2445  determines that there was probable cause for the arrest, the
 2446  judge’s determination also constitutes reasonable grounds to
 2447  believe that the aging releasee violated the conditions of the
 2448  release.
 2449         4. The department must order that the aging releasee
 2450  subject to revocation under this subsection be returned to
 2451  department custody for a conditional aging inmate release
 2452  revocation hearing as prescribed by rule. An aging releasee may
 2453  admit to the alleged violation of the conditions of conditional
 2454  aging inmate release or may elect to proceed to a revocation
 2455  hearing.
 2456         5. A majority of the panel members must agree that
 2457  revocation is appropriate for the aging releasee’s conditional
 2458  aging inmate release to be revoked. If conditional aging inmate
 2459  release is revoked pursuant to this subsection, the aging
 2460  releasee must serve the balance of his or her sentence in an
 2461  institution designated by the department with credit for the
 2462  actual time served on conditional aging inmate release. However,
 2463  the aging releasee’s gain-time accrued before recommitment may
 2464  be forfeited pursuant to s. 944.28(1). An aging releasee whose
 2465  conditional aging inmate release is revoked and is recommitted
 2466  to the department under this subsection must comply with the 85
 2467  percent requirement in accordance with ss. 921.002 and 944.275.
 2468  If the aging releasee whose conditional aging inmate release is
 2469  revoked subject to this subsection would otherwise be eligible
 2470  for parole or any other release program, he or she may be
 2471  considered for such release program pursuant to law.
 2472         6. An aging releasee whose release has been revoked
 2473  pursuant to this subsection may have the revocation reviewed by
 2474  the department’s general counsel, who must make a recommendation
 2475  to the secretary. The secretary must review all relevant
 2476  information and make a final decision about the appropriateness
 2477  of the revocation of conditional aging inmate release pursuant
 2478  to this subsection. The decision of the secretary is a final
 2479  administrative decision not subject to appeal.
 2480         (b) If the aging releasee subject to revocation under this
 2481  subsection elects to proceed with a hearing, the aging releasee
 2482  must be informed orally and in writing of the following:
 2483         1. The alleged violation with which the releasee is
 2484  charged.
 2485         2. The releasee’s right to be represented by counsel.
 2486  However, this subparagraph does not create a right to publicly
 2487  funded legal counsel.
 2488         3. The releasee’s right to be heard in person.
 2489         4. The releasee’s right to secure, present, and compel the
 2490  attendance of witnesses relevant to the proceeding.
 2491         5. The releasee’s right to produce documents on his or her
 2492  own behalf.
 2493         6. The releasee’s right of access to all evidence used
 2494  against the releasee and to confront and cross-examine adverse
 2495  witnesses.
 2496         7. The releasee’s right to waive the hearing.
 2497         (c) If the panel approves the revocation of the aging
 2498  releasee’s conditional aging inmate release, the panel must
 2499  provide a written statement as to evidence relied on and reasons
 2500  for revocation.
 2501         (8) SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY.—Unless otherwise provided by law
 2502  and in accordance with s. 13, Art. X of the State Constitution,
 2503  members of the panel established in subsection (2) who are
 2504  involved with decisions that grant or revoke conditional aging
 2505  inmate release are provided immunity from liability for actions
 2506  that directly relate to such decisions.
 2507         (9) RULEMAKING AUTHORITY.—The department may adopt rules as
 2508  necessary to implement this section.
 2509         Section 21. Section 947.149, Florida Statutes, is repealed.
 2510         Section 22. Effective upon this act becoming a law,
 2511  paragraph (f) of subsection (2) of section 948.06, Florida
 2512  Statutes, is amended to read:
 2513         948.06 Violation of probation or community control;
 2514  revocation; modification; continuance; failure to pay
 2515  restitution or cost of supervision.—
 2516         (2)
 2517         (f)1. Except as provided in subparagraph 3. or upon waiver
 2518  by the probationer, the court shall modify or continue a
 2519  probationary term upon finding a probationer in violation when
 2520  all any of the following apply applies:
 2521         a. The term of supervision is probation.
 2522         b. The probationer does not qualify as a violent felony
 2523  offender of special concern, as defined in paragraph (8)(b).
 2524         c. The violation is a low-risk technical violation, as
 2525  defined in paragraph (9)(b).
 2526         d. The court has not previously found the probationer in
 2527  violation of his or her probation pursuant to a filed violation
 2528  of probation affidavit during the current term of supervision. A
 2529  probationer who has successfully completed sanctions through the
 2530  alternative sanctioning program is eligible for mandatory
 2531  modification or continuation of his or her probation.
 2532         2. Upon modifying probation under subparagraph 1., the
 2533  court may include in the sentence a maximum of 90 days in county
 2534  jail as a special condition of probation.
 2535         3. Notwithstanding s. 921.0024, if a probationer has less
 2536  than 90 days of supervision remaining on his or her term of
 2537  probation and meets the criteria for mandatory modification or
 2538  continuation in subparagraph 1., the court may revoke probation
 2539  and sentence the probationer to a maximum of 90 days in county
 2540  jail.
 2541         4. For purposes of imposing a jail sentence under this
 2542  paragraph only, the court may grant credit only for time served
 2543  in the county jail since the probationer’s most recent arrest
 2544  for the violation. However, the court may not order the
 2545  probationer to a total term of incarceration greater than the
 2546  maximum provided by s. 775.082.
 2547         Section 23. Section 951.30, Florida Statutes, is created to
 2548  read:
 2549         951.30 Release documents; requirement.—The administrator of

 2629  within 30 days. The prosecuting authority may respond:
 2630         (a) By certifying to the court that, based upon the
 2631  petition and verifiable and substantial evidence of actual
 2632  innocence, no further criminal proceedings in the case at bar
 2633  can or will be initiated by the prosecuting authority and, that
 2634  no questions of fact remain as to the petitioner’s wrongful
 2635  incarceration, and that the petitioner is not ineligible from
 2636  seeking compensation under the provisions of s. 961.04; or

 2641  provisions of s. 961.04.
 2642         (3) If the prosecuting authority responds as set forth in
 2643  paragraph (2)(a), the original sentencing court, based upon the

 2649  petitioner did not aid, abet, or act as an accomplice to a

 2655  under the provisions of s. 961.04.
 2656         (4)(a) If the prosecuting authority responds as set forth
 2657  in paragraph (2)(b), the original sentencing court shall make a
 2658  determination from the pleadings and supporting documentation
 2659  whether, by a preponderance of the evidence, the petitioner is
 2660  ineligible for compensation under the provisions of s. 961.04,
 2661  regardless of his or her claim of wrongful incarceration. If the
 2662  court finds the petitioner ineligible under the provisions of s.
 2663  961.04, it shall dismiss the petition.
 2664         (b) If the prosecuting authority responds as set forth in
 2665  paragraph (2)(b), and the court determines that the petitioner
 2666  is eligible under the provisions of s. 961.04, but the
 2667  prosecuting authority contests the nature, significance or
 2668  effect of the evidence of actual innocence, or the facts related
 2669  to the petitioner’s alleged wrongful incarceration, the court
 2670  shall set forth its findings and transfer the petition by
 2671  electronic means through the division’s website to the division
 2672  for findings of fact and a recommended determination of whether
 2673  the petitioner has established that he or she is a wrongfully
 2674  incarcerated person who is eligible for compensation under this
 2675  act.
 2676         (5) Any questions of fact, the nature, significance or
 2677  effect of the evidence of actual innocence, and the petitioner’s
 2678  eligibility for compensation under this act must be established
 2679  by clear and convincing evidence by the petitioner before an
 2680  administrative law judge.
 2681         (6)(a) Pursuant to division rules and any additional rules
 2682  set forth by the administrative law judge, a hearing shall be
 2683  conducted no later than 120 days after the transfer of the
 2684  petition.
 2685         (b) The prosecuting authority shall appear for the purpose
 2686  of contesting, as necessary, the facts, the nature, and
 2687  significance or effect of the evidence of actual innocence as
 2688  presented by the petitioner.
 2689         (c) No later than 45 days after the adjournment of the
 2690  hearing, the administrative law judge shall issue an order
 2691  setting forth his or her findings and recommendation and shall
 2692  file the order with the original sentencing court.
 2693         (d) The original sentencing court shall review the findings
 2694  and recommendation contained in the order of the administrative
 2695  law judge and, within 60 days, shall issue its own order
 2696  adopting or declining to adopt the findings and recommendation
 2697  of the administrative law judge.
 2698         (7) If the court concludes that the petitioner is a
 2699  wrongfully incarcerated person as defined by this act and is
 2700  eligible for compensation as defined in this act, the court
 2701  shall include in its order a certification to the department
 2702  that:
 2703         (a)1. The order of the administrative law judge finds that
 2704  the petitioner has met his or her burden of establishing by
 2705  clear and convincing evidence that the petitioner committed
 2706  neither the act nor the offense that served as the basis for the
 2707  conviction and incarceration and that the petitioner did not
 2708  aid, abet, or act as an accomplice to a person who committed the
 2709  act or offense; or
 2710         2. That the court has declined to adopt the findings and
 2711  recommendations of the administrative law judge and finds that
 2712  the petitioner has met his or her burden of establishing by
 2713  clear and convincing evidence that the petitioner committed
 2714  neither the act nor the offense that served as the basis for the
 2715  conviction and incarceration and that the petitioner did not
 2716  aid, abet, or act as an accomplice to a person who committed the
 2717  act or offense; and
 2718         (b) The original sentencing court determines the findings
 2719  and recommendations on which its order is based are supported by
 2720  competent, substantial evidence.
 2721         (8) The establishment of the method by which a person may
 2722  seek the status of a wrongfully incarcerated person and a
 2723  finding as to eligibility for compensation under this act in no
 2724  way creates any rights of due process beyond those set forth
 2725  herein, nor is there created any right to further petition or
 2726  appeal beyond the scope of the method set forth herein.
 2727         Section 26. Effective July 1, 2020, section 961.04, Florida
 2728  Statutes, is repealed.
 2729         Section 27. Effective July 1, 2020, subsections (1), (2),

 2740  incarcerated person and is eligible for compensation as defined
 2741  in this act.
 2742         (2) A wrongfully incarcerated person who is eligible for

 2796         (d) The amount of any reasonable attorney attorney’s fees
 2797  and expenses incurred and paid by the wrongfully incarcerated

 2804  the person’s criminal record resulting from his or her wrongful
 2805  arrest, wrongful conviction, and wrongful incarceration. The
 2806  Department of Legal Affairs and the Department of Law

 2809  to administratively expunge the claimant’s criminal record
 2810  arising from his or her wrongful arrest, wrongful conviction,
 2811  and wrongful incarceration. All fees for this process shall be
 2812  waived.
 2813  
 2814  The total compensation awarded under paragraphs (a), (c), and
 2815  (d) may not exceed $2 million. No further award for attorney
 2816  attorney’s fees, lobbying fees, costs, or other similar expenses

 2820  or community supervision while serving the sentence resulting
 2821  from the wrongful conviction and who commits no more than one
 2822  felony that is not a violent felony which results in revocation
 2823  of the parole or community supervision is eligible for
 2824  compensation for the total number of years incarcerated. A
 2825  wrongfully incarcerated person who commits one violent felony or
 2826  more than one felony that is not a violent felony that results
 2827  in revocation of the parole or community supervision is
 2828  ineligible for any compensation under subsection (1).
 2829         (3) Within 15 calendar days after issuing notice to the

 2831  under this act, the department shall notify the Chief Financial
 2832  Officer to draw a warrant from the General Revenue Fund or
 2833  another source designated by the Legislature in law for the
 2834  purchase of an annuity for the claimant based on the total
 2835  amount determined by the department under this act.
 2836         (3)(4) The Chief Financial Officer shall issue payment in
 2837  the amount determined by the department to an insurance company

 2839  annuity contracts in this state to purchase an annuity or
 2840  annuities, selected by the wrongfully incarcerated person, for a
 2841  term of not less than 10 years. The Chief Financial Officer is
 2842  directed to execute all necessary agreements to implement this
 2843  act and to maximize the benefit to the wrongfully incarcerated
 2844  person. The terms of the annuity or annuities shall:
 2845         (a) Provide that the annuity or annuities may not be sold,

 2849  disbursement of the annuity or annuities in the event of the
 2850  death of the wrongfully incarcerated person.
 2851         (4)(5)If, at the time monetary compensation is determined
 2852  pursuant to subsection (1), a court has previously entered a
 2853  monetary judgment in favor of the claimant in a civil action
 2854  related to his or her wrongful incarceration, or the claimant
 2855  has entered into a settlement agreement with the state or any
 2856  political subdivision thereof related to his or her wrongful
 2857  incarceration, the amount of the damages in the civil action or
 2858  settlement agreement, less any sums paid for attorney fees or
 2859  for costs incurred in litigating the civil action or obtaining
 2860  the settlement agreement, must be deducted from the total
 2861  monetary compensation to which the claimant is entitled under
 2862  this section Before the department approves the application for
 2863  compensation, the wrongfully incarcerated person must sign a
 2864  release and waiver on behalf of the wrongfully incarcerated
 2865  person and his or her heirs, successors, and assigns, forever
 2866  releasing the state or any agency, instrumentality, or any
 2867  political subdivision thereof, or any other entity subject to s.
 2868  768.28, from all present or future claims that the wrongfully
 2869  incarcerated person or his or her heirs, successors, or assigns
 2870  may have against such entities arising out of the facts in
 2871  connection with the wrongful conviction for which compensation
 2872  is being sought under the act.
 2873         (5)If subsection (4) does not apply, and if after the time
 2874  monetary compensation is determined pursuant to subsection (1)
 2875  the court enters a monetary judgment in favor of the claimant in
 2876  a civil action related to his or her wrongful incarceration, or
 2877  the claimant enters into a settlement agreement with the state
 2878  or any political subdivision thereof related to his or her
 2879  wrongful incarceration, the claimant must reimburse the state
 2880  for the monetary compensation paid under subsection (1), less
 2881  any sums paid for attorney fees or costs incurred in litigating
 2882  the civil action or obtaining the settlement agreement. The
 2883  reimbursement required under this subsection may not exceed the
 2884  amount of the monetary award the claimant received for damages
 2885  in a civil action or a settlement agreement. The court shall
 2886  include in the order of judgment an award to the state of any
 2887  amount required to be deducted under this subsection.
 2888         (6)(a) The claimant shall notify the department upon filing
 2889  a civil action against the state or any political subdivision
 2890  thereof in which the claimant is seeking monetary damages
 2891  related to the claimant’s wrongful incarceration for which he or
 2892  she previously received or is applying to receive compensation
 2893  under subsection (1). A wrongfully incarcerated person may not
 2894  submit an application for compensation under this act if the
 2895  person has a lawsuit pending against the state or any agency,
 2896  instrumentality, or any political subdivision thereof, or any
 2897  other entity subject to the provisions of s. 768.28, in state or
 2898  federal court requesting compensation arising out of the facts
 2899  in connection with the claimant’s conviction and incarceration.
 2900         (b)Upon notice of the claimant’s civil action, the
 2901  department shall file in the case a notice of payment of
 2902  monetary compensation to the claimant under subsection (1). The
 2903  notice constitutes a lien upon any judgment or settlement
 2904  recovered under the civil action that is equal to the sum of
 2905  monetary compensation paid to the claimant under subsection (1),
 2906  less any attorney fees and litigation costs.
 2907         (7)(a)(b) A wrongfully incarcerated person may not submit
 2908  an application for compensation under this act if the person is
 2909  the subject of a claim bill pending for claims arising out of
 2910  the facts in connection with the claimant’s conviction and
 2911  incarceration.
 2912         (b)(c) Once an application is filed under this act, a
 2913  wrongfully incarcerated person may not pursue recovery under a
 2914  claim bill until the final disposition of the application.
 2915         (c)(d)Any amount awarded under this act is intended to
 2916  provide the sole compensation for any and all present and future
 2917  claims arising out of the facts in connection with the
 2918  claimant’s conviction and incarceration. Upon notification by
 2919  the department that an application meets the requirements of
 2920  this act, a wrongfully incarcerated person may not recover under
 2921  a claim bill.
 2922         (d)(e) Any compensation awarded under a claim bill shall be
 2923  the sole redress for claims arising out of the facts in
 2924  connection with the claimant’s conviction and incarceration and,
 2925  upon any award of compensation to a wrongfully incarcerated
 2926  person under a claim bill, the person may not receive
 2927  compensation under this act.
 2928         (8)(7) Any payment made under this act does not constitute
 2929  a waiver of any defense of sovereign immunity or an increase in
 2930  the limits of liability on behalf of the state or any person
 2931  subject to the provisions of s. 768.28 or other law.
 2932         Section 29. Paragraph (a) of subsection (2) and paragraphs
 2933  (b) and (c) of subsection (3) of section 1009.21, Florida
 2934  Statutes, are amended to read:

 4083         (b) WORKSHEET KEY:
 4084  
 4085  Legal status points are assessed when any form of legal status
 4086  existed at the time the offender committed an offense before the
 4087  court for sentencing. Four (4) sentence points are assessed for
 4088  an offender’s legal status.
 4089  
 4090  Community sanction violation points are assessed when a
 4091  community sanction violation is before the court for sentencing.
 4092  Six (6) sentence points are assessed for each community sanction
 4093  violation and each successive community sanction violation,
 4094  unless any of the following apply:
 4095         1. If the community sanction violation includes a new
 4096  felony conviction before the sentencing court, twelve (12)
 4097  community sanction violation points are assessed for the
 4098  violation, and for each successive community sanction violation
 4099  involving a new felony conviction.
 4100         2. If the community sanction violation is committed by a
 4101  violent felony offender of special concern as defined in s.
 4102  948.06:
 4103         a. Twelve (12) community sanction violation points are
 4104  assessed for the violation and for each successive violation of
 4105  felony probation or community control where:
 4106         I. The violation does not include a new felony conviction;
 4107  and
 4108         II. The community sanction violation is not based solely on
 4109  the probationer or offender’s failure to pay costs or fines or
 4110  make restitution payments.
 4111         b. Twenty-four (24) community sanction violation points are
 4112  assessed for the violation and for each successive violation of
 4113  felony probation or community control where the violation
 4114  includes a new felony conviction.
 4115  
 4116  Multiple counts of community sanction violations before the
 4117  sentencing court may shall not be used as a basis for
 4118  multiplying the assessment of community sanction violation
 4119  points.
 4120  
 4121  Prior serious felony points: If the offender has a primary
 4122  offense or any additional offense ranked in level 8, level 9, or
 4123  level 10, and one or more prior serious felonies, a single
 4124  assessment of thirty (30) points shall be added. For purposes of
 4125  this section, a prior serious felony is an offense in the
 4126  offender’s prior record that is ranked in level 8, level 9, or
 4127  level 10 under s. 921.0022 or s. 921.0023 and for which the
 4128  offender is serving a sentence of confinement, supervision, or
 4129  other sanction or for which the offender’s date of release from
 4130  confinement, supervision, or other sanction, whichever is later,
 4131  is within 3 years before the date the primary offense or any
 4132  additional offense was committed.
 4133  
 4134  Prior capital felony points: If the offender has one or more
 4135  prior capital felonies in the offender’s criminal record, points
 4136  shall be added to the subtotal sentence points of the offender
 4137  equal to twice the number of points the offender receives for
 4138  the primary offense and any additional offense. A prior capital
 4139  felony in the offender’s criminal record is a previous capital
 4140  felony offense for which the offender has entered a plea of nolo
 4141  contendere or guilty or has been found guilty; or a felony in
 4142  another jurisdiction which is a capital felony in that
 4143  jurisdiction, or would be a capital felony if the offense were
 4144  committed in this state.
 4145  
 4146  Possession of a firearm, semiautomatic firearm, or machine gun:
 4147  If the offender is convicted of committing or attempting to
 4148  commit any felony other than those enumerated in s. 775.087(2)
 4149  while having in his or her possession: a firearm as defined in
 4150  s. 790.001(6), an additional eighteen (18) sentence points are
 4151  assessed; or if the offender is convicted of committing or
 4152  attempting to commit any felony other than those enumerated in
 4153  s. 775.087(3) while having in his or her possession a
 4154  semiautomatic firearm as defined in s. 775.087(3) or a machine
 4155  gun as defined in s. 790.001(9), an additional twenty-five (25)
 4156  sentence points are assessed.
 4157  
 4158  Sentencing multipliers:
 4159  
 4160  Drug trafficking: If the primary offense is drug trafficking
 4161  under s. 893.135, the subtotal sentence points are multiplied,
 4162  at the discretion of the court, for a level 7 or level 8
 4163  offense, by 1.5. The state attorney may move the sentencing
 4164  court to reduce or suspend the sentence of a person convicted of
 4165  a level 7 or level 8 offense, if the offender provides
 4166  substantial assistance as described in s. 893.135(4).
 4167  
 4168  Law enforcement protection: If the primary offense is a
 4169  violation of the Law Enforcement Protection Act under s.
 4170  775.0823(2), (3), or (4), the subtotal sentence points are
 4171  multiplied by 2.5. If the primary offense is a violation of s.
 4172  775.0823(5), (6), (7), (8), or (9), the subtotal sentence points
 4173  are multiplied by 2.0. If the primary offense is a violation of
 4174  s. 784.07(3) or s. 775.0875(1), or of the Law Enforcement
 4175  Protection Act under s. 775.0823(10) or (11), the subtotal
 4176  sentence points are multiplied by 1.5.
 4177  
 4178  Grand theft of a motor vehicle: If the primary offense is grand
 4179  theft of the third degree involving a motor vehicle and in the
 4180  offender’s prior record, there are three or more grand thefts of
 4181  the third degree involving a motor vehicle, the subtotal
 4182  sentence points are multiplied by 1.5.
 4183  
 4184  Offense related to a criminal gang: If the offender is convicted
 4185  of the primary offense and committed that offense for the
 4186  purpose of benefiting, promoting, or furthering the interests of
 4187  a criminal gang as defined in s. 874.03, the subtotal sentence
 4188  points are multiplied by 1.5. If applying the multiplier results
 4189  in the lowest permissible sentence exceeding the statutory
 4190  maximum sentence for the primary offense under chapter 775, the
 4191  court may not apply the multiplier and must sentence the
 4192  defendant to the statutory maximum sentence.
 4193  
 4194  Domestic violence in the presence of a child: If the offender is
 4195  convicted of the primary offense and the primary offense is a
 4196  crime of domestic violence, as defined in s. 741.28, which was
 4197  committed in the presence of a child under 16 years of age who
 4198  is a family or household member as defined in s. 741.28(3) with
 4199  the victim or perpetrator, the subtotal sentence points are
 4200  multiplied by 1.5.
 4201  
 4202  Adult-on-minor sex offense: If the offender was 18 years of age
 4203  or older and the victim was younger than 18 years of age at the
 4204  time the offender committed the primary offense, and if the
 4205  primary offense was an offense committed on or after October 1,
 4206  2014, and is a violation of s. 787.01(2) or s. 787.02(2), if the
 4207  violation involved a victim who was a minor and, in the course
 4208  of committing that violation, the defendant committed a sexual
 4209  battery under chapter 794 or a lewd act under s. 800.04 or s.
 4210  847.0135(5) against the minor; s. 787.01(3)(a)2. or 3.; s.
 4211  787.02(3)(a)2. or 3.; s. 794.011, excluding s. 794.011(10); s.
 4212  800.04; or s. 847.0135(5), the subtotal sentence points are
 4213  multiplied by 2.0. If applying the multiplier results in the
 4214  lowest permissible sentence exceeding the statutory maximum
 4215  sentence for the primary offense under chapter 775, the court
 4216  may not apply the multiplier and must sentence the defendant to
 4217  the statutory maximum sentence.
 4218         (2) The lowest permissible sentence is the minimum sentence
 4219  that may be imposed by the trial court, absent a valid reason
 4220  for departure. The lowest permissible sentence is any nonstate
 4221  prison sanction in which the total sentence points equals or is
 4222  less than 44 points, unless the court determines within its
 4223  discretion that a prison sentence, which may be up to the
 4224  statutory maximums for the offenses committed, is appropriate.
 4225  When the total sentence points exceeds 44 points, the lowest
 4226  permissible sentence in prison months shall be calculated by
 4227  subtracting 28 points from the total sentence points and
 4228  decreasing the remaining total by 25 percent. The total sentence
 4229  points shall be calculated only as a means of determining the
 4230  lowest permissible sentence. The permissible range for
 4231  sentencing shall be the lowest permissible sentence up to and
 4232  including the statutory maximum, as defined in s. 775.082, for
 4233  the primary offense and any additional offenses before the court
 4234  for sentencing. The sentencing court may impose such sentences
 4235  concurrently or consecutively. However, any sentence to state
 4236  prison must exceed 1 year. If the lowest permissible sentence
 4237  under the code exceeds the statutory maximum sentence as
 4238  provided in s. 775.082, the sentence required by the code must
 4239  be imposed. If the total sentence points are greater than or
 4240  equal to 363, the court may sentence the offender to life
 4241  imprisonment. An offender sentenced to life imprisonment under
 4242  this section is not eligible for any form of discretionary early
 4243  release, except executive clemency, or conditional medical
 4244  release under s. 945.0911, or conditional aging inmate release
 4245  under s. 945.0912 s. 947.149.
 4246         (3) A single digitized scoresheet shall be prepared for
 4247  each defendant to determine the permissible range for the
 4248  sentence that the court may impose, except that if the defendant
 4249  is before the court for sentencing for more than one felony and
 4250  the felonies were committed under more than one version or
 4251  revision of the guidelines or the code, separate digitized
 4252  scoresheets must be prepared. The scoresheet or scoresheets must
 4253  cover all the defendant’s offenses pending before the court for
 4254  sentencing. The state attorney shall prepare the digitized
 4255  scoresheet or scoresheets, which must be presented to the
 4256  defense counsel for review for accuracy in all cases unless the
 4257  judge directs otherwise. The defendant’s scoresheet or
 4258  scoresheets must be approved and signed by the sentencing judge.
 4259         (4) The Department of Corrections, in consultation with the
 4260  Office of the State Courts Administrator, state attorneys, and
 4261  public defenders, must develop and submit the revised digitized
 4262  Public Safety Criminal Punishment Code scoresheet to the Supreme
 4263  Court for approval by June 15 of each year, as necessary. The
 4264  digitized scoresheet shall have individual, structured data
 4265  cells for each data field on the scoresheet. Upon the Supreme
 4266  Court’s approval of the revised digitized scoresheet, the
 4267  Department of Corrections shall produce and provide the revised
 4268  digitized scoresheets by September 30 of each year, as
 4269  necessary. Digitized scoresheets must include individual data
 4270  cells to indicate whether any prison sentence imposed includes a
 4271  mandatory minimum sentence or the sentence imposed was a
 4272  downward departure from the lowest permissible sentence under
 4273  the Public Safety Criminal Punishment Code.
 4274         (5) The Department of Corrections shall make available the
 4275  digitized Public Safety Criminal Punishment Code scoresheets to
 4276  those persons charged with the responsibility for preparing
 4277  scoresheets.
 4278         (6) The clerk of the circuit court shall transmit a
 4279  complete and accurate digitized copy of the Public Safety
 4280  Criminal Punishment Code scoresheet used in each sentencing
 4281  proceeding to the Department of Corrections. Scoresheets must be
 4282  electronically transmitted no less frequently than monthly, by
 4283  the first of each month, and may be sent collectively.
 4284         (7) A digitized sentencing scoresheet must be prepared for
 4285  every defendant who is sentenced for a felony offense. The
 4286  individual offender’s digitized Public Safety Criminal
 4287  Punishment Code scoresheet and any attachments thereto prepared
 4288  pursuant to Rule 3.701, Rule 3.702, or Rule 3.703, Florida Rules
 4289  of Criminal Procedure, or any other rule pertaining to the
 4290  preparation and submission of felony sentencing scoresheets,
 4291  must be included with the uniform judgment and sentence form
 4292  provided to the Department of Corrections.
 4293         Section 46. Section 921.0025, Florida Statutes, is amended
 4294  to read:
 4295         921.0025 Adoption and implementation of revised sentencing
 4296  scoresheets.—Rules 3.701, 3.702, 3.703, and 3.988, Florida Rules
 4297  of Criminal Procedure, as revised by the Supreme Court, and any
 4298  other rule pertaining to the preparation and submission of
 4299  felony sentencing scoresheets, are adopted and implemented in

 4307         (2) Mitigating circumstances under which a departure from
 4308  the lowest permissible sentence is reasonably justified include,

 4311  defendant’s Public Safety Criminal Punishment Code scoresheet
 4312  total sentence points under s. 921.0024 are 60 points or fewer,
 4313  and the court determines that the defendant is amenable to the
 4314  services of a postadjudicatory treatment-based drug court
 4315  program and is otherwise qualified to participate in the program
 4316  as part of the sentence. For purposes of this paragraph, the
 4317  term “nonviolent felony” has the same meaning as provided in s.
 4318  948.08(6).
 4319         Section 48. Section 921.0027, Florida Statutes, is amended
 4320  to read:

 4323  Punishment Code applies to all felonies, except capital
 4324  felonies, committed on or after October 1, 1998. Any revision to

 4326  for all felonies, except capital felonies, committed on or after
 4327  the effective date of the revision. Felonies, except capital
 4328  felonies, with continuing dates of enterprise shall be sentenced
 4329  under the Public Safety Criminal Punishment Code in effect on
 4330  the beginning date of the criminal activity.
 4331         Section 49. Subsection (1) of section 924.06, Florida
 4332  Statutes, is amended to read:

 4359  prisoner is convicted is a felony, the trial court shall
 4360  sentence the prisoner pursuant to the Public Safety Criminal
 4361  Punishment Code in chapter 921.
 4362         2. When the highest ranking offense for which the prisoner
 4363  is convicted is a misdemeanor, the trial court shall sentence
 4364  the prisoner pursuant to s. 775.082(4).
 4365         (5) The department shall also refuse to accept a person
 4366  into the state correctional system unless the following
 4367  documents are presented in a completed form by the sheriff or
 4368  chief correctional officer, or a designated representative, to
 4369  the officer in charge of the reception process. The department
 4370  may, at its discretion, receive such documents electronically:
 4371         (e) A copy of the Public Safety Criminal Punishment Code
 4372  scoresheet and any attachments thereto prepared pursuant to Rule
 4373  3.701, Rule 3.702, or Rule 3.703, Florida Rules of Criminal

 4378  charge shall also deliver with the foregoing documents any
 4379  available presentence investigation reports as described in s.
 4380  921.231 and any attached documents. After a prisoner is admitted
 4381  into the state correctional system, the department may request
 4382  such additional records relating to the prisoner as it considers
 4383  necessary from the clerk of the court, the Department of
 4384  Children and Families, or any other state or county agency for
 4385  the purpose of determining the prisoner’s proper custody
 4386  classification, gain-time eligibility, or eligibility for early
 4387  release programs. An agency that receives such a request from
 4388  the department must provide the information requested. The
 4389  department may, at its discretion, receive such information
 4390  electronically.
 4391         Section 52. Paragraph (b) of subsection (7) of section
 4392  944.605, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:

 4404         3. Are released due to an emergency release, or a
 4405  conditional medical release under s. 945.0911, or conditional
 4406  aging inmate release under s. 945.0912 s. 947.149.
 4407         4. Are not in the physical custody of the department at or
 4408  within 180 days before release.
 4409         5. Are subject to sex offender residency restrictions, and
 4410  who, upon release under such restrictions, do not have a
 4411  qualifying address.
 4412         Section 53. Paragraph (b) of subsection (1) of section
 4413  944.70, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:
 4414         944.70 Conditions for release from incarceration.—
 4415         (1)
 4416         (b) A person who is convicted of a crime committed on or

 4418         1. Upon expiration of the person’s sentence;

 4420  accumulated meritorious or incentive gain-time;
 4421         3. As directed by an executive order granting clemency;

 4427  emergency control release, pursuant to s. 947.146.
 4428         Section 54. Paragraph (h) of subsection (1) of section
 4429  947.13, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:
 4430         947.13 Powers and duties of commission.—
 4431         (1) The commission shall have the powers and perform the
 4432  duties of:
 4433         (h) Determining what persons will be released on
 4434  conditional medical release under s. 947.149, establishing the
 4435  conditions of conditional medical release, and determining
 4436  whether a person has violated the conditions of conditional
 4437  medical release and taking action with respect to such a
 4438  violation.
 4439         Section 55. Section 947.141, Florida Statutes, is amended
 4440  to read:
 4441         947.141 Violations of conditional release, control release,
 4442  or conditional medical release or addiction-recovery
 4443  supervision.—
 4444         (1) If a member of the commission or a duly authorized
 4445  representative of the commission has reasonable grounds to
 4446  believe that an offender who is on release supervision under s.
 4447  947.1405, s. 947.146, s. 947.149, or s. 944.4731 has violated
 4448  the terms and conditions of the release in a material respect,
 4449  such member or representative may cause a warrant to be issued
 4450  for the arrest of the releasee; if the offender was found to be
 4451  a sexual predator, the warrant must be issued.
 4452         (2) Upon the arrest on a felony charge of an offender who
 4453  is on release supervision under s. 947.1405, s. 947.146, s.
 4454  947.149, or s. 944.4731, the offender must be detained without
 4455  bond until the initial appearance of the offender at which a
 4456  judicial determination of probable cause is made. If the trial
 4457  court judge determines that there was no probable cause for the
 4458  arrest, the offender may be released. If the trial court judge
 4459  determines that there was probable cause for the arrest, such
 4460  determination also constitutes reasonable grounds to believe
 4461  that the offender violated the conditions of the release. Within
 4462  24 hours after the trial court judge’s finding of probable
 4463  cause, the detention facility administrator or designee shall
 4464  notify the commission and the department of the finding and
 4465  transmit to each a facsimile copy of the probable cause
 4466  affidavit or the sworn offense report upon which the trial court
 4467  judge’s probable cause determination is based. The offender must
 4468  continue to be detained without bond for a period not exceeding
 4469  72 hours excluding weekends and holidays after the date of the
 4470  probable cause determination, pending a decision by the
 4471  commission whether to issue a warrant charging the offender with
 4472  violation of the conditions of release. Upon the issuance of the
 4473  commission’s warrant, the offender must continue to be held in
 4474  custody pending a revocation hearing held in accordance with
 4475  this section.
 4476         (3) Within 45 days after notice to the Florida Commission
 4477  on Offender Review of the arrest of a releasee charged with a
 4478  violation of the terms and conditions of conditional release,
 4479  control release, conditional medical release, or addiction
 4480  recovery supervision, the releasee must be afforded a hearing
 4481  conducted by a commissioner or a duly authorized representative
 4482  thereof. If the releasee elects to proceed with a hearing, the
 4483  releasee must be informed orally and in writing of the
 4484  following:
 4485         (a) The alleged violation with which the releasee is
 4486  charged.
 4487         (b) The releasee’s right to be represented by counsel.
 4488         (c) The releasee’s right to be heard in person.
 4489         (d) The releasee’s right to secure, present, and compel the
 4490  attendance of witnesses relevant to the proceeding.
 4491         (e) The releasee’s right to produce documents on the
 4492  releasee’s own behalf.
 4493         (f) The releasee’s right of access to all evidence used
 4494  against the releasee and to confront and cross-examine adverse
 4495  witnesses.
 4496         (g) The releasee’s right to waive the hearing.
 4497         (4) Within a reasonable time following the hearing, the
 4498  commissioner or the commissioner’s duly authorized
 4499  representative who conducted the hearing shall make findings of
 4500  fact in regard to the alleged violation. A panel of no fewer
 4501  than two commissioners shall enter an order determining whether
 4502  the charge of violation of conditional release, control release,
 4503  conditional medical release, or addiction-recovery supervision
 4504  has been sustained based upon the findings of fact presented by
 4505  the hearing commissioner or authorized representative. By such
 4506  order, the panel may revoke conditional release, control
 4507  release, conditional medical release, or addiction-recovery
 4508  supervision and thereby return the releasee to prison to serve
 4509  the sentence imposed, reinstate the original order granting the
 4510  release, or enter such other order as it considers proper.
 4511  Effective for inmates whose offenses were committed on or after
 4512  July 1, 1995, the panel may order the placement of a releasee,
 4513  upon a finding of violation pursuant to this subsection, into a
 4514  local detention facility as a condition of supervision.
 4515         (5) Effective for inmates whose offenses were committed on
 4516  or after July 1, 1995, notwithstanding the provisions of ss.
 4517  775.08, former 921.001, 921.002, 921.187, 921.188, 944.02, and
 4518  951.23, or any other law to the contrary, by such order as
 4519  provided in subsection (4), the panel, upon a finding of guilt,
 4520  may, as a condition of continued supervision, place the releasee
 4521  in a local detention facility for a period of incarceration not
 4522  to exceed 22 months. Prior to the expiration of the term of
 4523  incarceration, or upon recommendation of the chief correctional
 4524  officer of that county, the commission shall cause inquiry into
 4525  the inmate’s release plan and custody status in the detention
 4526  facility and consider whether to restore the inmate to
 4527  supervision, modify the conditions of supervision, or enter an
 4528  order of revocation, thereby causing the return of the inmate to
 4529  prison to serve the sentence imposed. The provisions of this
 4530  section do not prohibit the panel from entering such other order
 4531  or conducting any investigation that it deems proper. The
 4532  commission may only place a person in a local detention facility
 4533  pursuant to this section if there is a contractual agreement
 4534  between the chief correctional officer of that county and the
 4535  Department of Corrections. The agreement must provide for a per
 4536  diem reimbursement for each person placed under this section,
 4537  which is payable by the Department of Corrections for the
 4538  duration of the offender’s placement in the facility. This
 4539  section does not limit the commission’s ability to place a
 4540  person in a local detention facility for less than 1 year.
 4541         (6) Whenever a conditional release, control release,
 4542  conditional medical release, or addiction-recovery supervision
 4543  is revoked by a panel of no fewer than two commissioners and the
 4544  releasee is ordered to be returned to prison, the releasee, by
 4545  reason of the misconduct, shall be deemed to have forfeited all
 4546  gain-time or commutation of time for good conduct, as provided
 4547  for by law, earned up to the date of release. However, if a
 4548  conditional medical release is revoked due to the improved
 4549  medical or physical condition of the releasee, the releasee
 4550  shall not forfeit gain-time accrued before the date of
 4551  conditional medical release. This subsection does not deprive
 4552  the prisoner of the right to gain-time or commutation of time
 4553  for good conduct, as provided by law, from the date of return to
 4554  prison.
 4555         (7) If a law enforcement officer has probable cause to
 4556  believe that an offender who is on release supervision under s.
 4557  947.1405, s. 947.146, s. 947.149, or s. 944.4731 has violated
 4558  the terms and conditions of his or her release by committing a
 4559  felony offense, the officer shall arrest the offender without a
 4560  warrant, and a warrant need not be issued in the case.
 4561         Section 56. Paragraph (a) of subsection (7) of section
 4562  948.01, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:
 4563         948.01 When court may place defendant on probation or into
 4564  community control.—
 4565         (7)(a) Notwithstanding s. 921.0024 and effective for
 4566  offenses committed on or after July 1, 2009, the sentencing
 4567  court may place the defendant into a postadjudicatory treatment
 4568  based drug court program if the defendant’s Public Safety
 4569  Criminal Punishment Code scoresheet total sentence points under
 4570  s. 921.0024 are 60 points or fewer, the offense is a nonviolent
 4571  felony, the defendant is amenable to substance abuse treatment,
 4572  and the defendant otherwise qualifies under s. 397.334(3). The
 4573  satisfactory completion of the program shall be a condition of
 4574  the defendant’s probation or community control. As used in this
 4575  subsection, the term “nonviolent felony” means a third degree
 4576  felony violation under chapter 810 or any other felony offense
 4577  that is not a forcible felony as defined in s. 776.08.
 4578         Section 57. Section 948.015, Florida Statutes, is amended
 4579  to read:

 4663         c. The underlying offense is a nonviolent felony. As used
 4664  in this subsection, the term “nonviolent felony” means a third
 4665  degree felony violation under chapter 810 or any other felony
 4666  offense that is not a forcible felony as defined in s. 776.08;
 4667         d. The court determines that the offender is amenable to
 4668  the services of a postadjudicatory treatment-based drug court
 4669  program;
