       The Committee on Criminal Justice (Perry) recommended the
       following:
       
    1         Senate Amendment (with title amendment)
    2  
    3         Delete everything after the enacting clause
    4  and insert:
    5         Section 1. Paragraph (b) of subsection (3) of section
    6  455.213, Florida Statutes, is amended, and paragraph (f) is
    7  added to that subsection, to read:
    8         455.213 General licensing provisions.—
    9         (3)
   10         (b)1. A conviction, or any other adjudication, for a crime
   11  more than 2 5 years before the date the application is received
   12  by the applicable board may not be grounds for denial of a
   13  license specified in paragraph (a). For purposes of this
   14  paragraph, the term “conviction” means a determination of guilt
   15  that is the result of a plea or trial, regardless of whether
   16  adjudication is withheld. This paragraph does not limit the
   17  applicable board from considering an applicant’s criminal
   18  history that includes a crime listed in s. 775.21(4)(a)1. or s.
   19  776.08 at any time, but only if such criminal history has been
   20  found to relate to the practice of the applicable profession.
   21         2. The applicable board may consider the criminal history
   22  of an applicant for licensure under subparagraph (a)3. if such
   23  criminal history has been found to relate to good moral
   24  character.
   25         (f) The applicable board shall approve educational programs
   26  credits offered to inmates in any correctional institution or
   27  correctional facility, whether offered as vocational training or
   28  through an industry certification program, for the purposes of
   29  satisfying applicable training requirements for licensure in a
   30  profession specified in paragraph (a).
   31         Section 2. Subsection (1) of section 921.002, Florida
   32  Statutes, is amended to read:
   33         921.002 The Criminal Punishment Code.—The Criminal
   34  Punishment Code shall apply to all felony offenses, except
   35  capital felonies, committed on or after October 1, 1998.
   36         (1) The provision of criminal penalties and of limitations
   37  upon the application of such penalties is a matter of
   38  predominantly substantive law and, as such, is a matter properly
   39  addressed by the Legislature. The Legislature, in the exercise
   40  of its authority and responsibility to establish sentencing
   41  criteria, to provide for the imposition of criminal penalties,
   42  and to make the best use of state prisons so that violent
   43  criminal offenders are appropriately punished and rehabilitated
   44  incarcerated, has determined that it is in the best interest of
   45  the state to develop, implement, and revise a sentencing policy.
   46  The Criminal Punishment Code embodies the principles that:
   47         (a) Sentencing is neutral with respect to race, gender, and
   48  social and economic status.
   49         (b) The dual purposes primary purpose of sentencing in the
   50  criminal justice system are is to punish the offender and
   51  rehabilitate the offender so that he or she can successfully
   52  transition back into the community. Rehabilitation is a desired
   53  goal of the criminal justice system but is subordinate to the
   54  goal of punishment.
   55         (c) The penalty imposed is commensurate with the severity
   56  of the primary offense and the circumstances surrounding the
   57  primary offense.
   58         (d) The severity of the sentence increases with the length
   59  and nature of the offender’s prior record.
   60         (e) The sentence imposed by the sentencing judge reflects
   61  the length of actual time to be served, shortened only by the
   62  application of good behavior time, rehabilitation credits, and
   63  outstanding deed awards, incentive and meritorious gain-time as
   64  provided by law, and may not be shortened if the defendant would
   65  consequently serve less than 85 percent of his or her term of
   66  imprisonment upon the application of good behavior time and
   67  outstanding deed awards or 65 percent of his or her term of
   68  imprisonment upon the application of rehabilitation credits, as
   69  provided in s. 944.275(4). The provisions of chapter 947,
   70  relating to parole, do not shall not apply to persons sentenced
   71  under the Criminal Punishment Code.
   72         (f) Departures below the lowest permissible sentence
   73  established by the code must be articulated in writing by the
   74  trial court judge and made only when circumstances or factors
   75  reasonably justify the mitigation of the sentence. The level of
   76  proof necessary to establish facts that support a departure from
   77  the lowest permissible sentence is a preponderance of the
   78  evidence.
   79         (g) The trial court judge may impose a sentence up to and
   80  including the statutory maximum for any offense, including an
   81  offense that is before the court due to a violation of probation
   82  or community control.
   83         (h) A sentence may be appealed on the basis that it departs
   84  from the Criminal Punishment Code only if the sentence is below
   85  the lowest permissible sentence or as enumerated in s.
   86  924.06(1).
   87         (i) Use of incarcerative sanctions is prioritized toward
   88  offenders convicted of serious offenses and certain offenders
   89  who have long prior records, in order to maximize the finite
   90  capacities of state and local correctional facilities.
   91         Section 3. Subsections (5), (6), (7), and (8) of section
   92  944.02, Florida Statutes, are renumbered as subsections (6),
   93  (7), (8), and (9), respectively, and subsection (5) is added to
   94  that section, to read:
   95         944.02 Definitions.—The following words and phrases used in
   96  this chapter shall, unless the context clearly indicates
   97  otherwise, have the following meanings:
   98         (5) “Gain-time” means good behavior time, rehabilitation
   99  credits, and outstanding deed awards, collectively, and as
  100  defined under this chapter.
  101         Section 4. Section 944.275, Florida Statutes, is amended to
  102  read:
  103         944.275 Good behavior time; rehabilitation credits;
  104  outstanding deed awards gain-time.—
  105         (1) The department is authorized to grant deductions from
  106  sentences in the form of good behavior time, rehabilitation
  107  credits, and outstanding deed awards gain-time in order to
  108  encourage satisfactory prisoner behavior, to provide incentive
  109  for prisoners to participate in productive activities, and to
  110  reward prisoners who perform outstanding deeds or services.
  111         (2)(a) The department shall establish for each prisoner
  112  sentenced to a term of years a “maximum sentence expiration
  113  date,” which shall be the date when the sentence or combined
  114  sentences imposed on a prisoner will expire. In establishing
  115  this date, the department shall reduce the total time to be
  116  served by any time lawfully credited.
  117         (b) When a prisoner with an established maximum sentence
  118  expiration date is sentenced to an additional term or terms
  119  without having been released from custody, the department shall
  120  extend the maximum sentence expiration date by the length of
  121  time imposed in the new sentence or sentences, less lawful
  122  credits.
  123         (c) When an escaped prisoner or a parole violator is
  124  returned to the custody of the department, the maximum sentence
  125  expiration date in effect when the escape occurred or the parole
  126  was effective shall be extended by the amount of time the
  127  prisoner was not in custody plus the time imposed in any new
  128  sentence or sentences, but reduced by any lawful credits.
  129         (3)(a) The department shall also establish for each
  130  prisoner sentenced to a term of years a “tentative release date”
  131  which shall be the date projected for the prisoner’s release
  132  from custody by virtue of good behavior time, rehabilitation
  133  credits, or outstanding deed awards gain-time granted or
  134  forfeited as described in this section. The initial tentative
  135  release date shall be determined by deducting good behavior time
  136  basic gain-time granted from the maximum sentence expiration
  137  date. Rehabilitation credits and outstanding deed awards Other
  138  gain-time shall be applied when granted or restored to make the
  139  tentative release date proportionately earlier; and forfeitures
  140  of gain-time, when ordered, shall be applied to make the
  141  tentative release date proportionately later.
  142         (b) When an initial tentative release date is reestablished
  143  because of additional sentences imposed before the prisoner has
  144  completely served all prior sentences, any good behavior time,
  145  rehabilitation credits, and outstanding deed awards gain-time
  146  granted during service of a prior sentence and not forfeited
  147  shall be applied.
  148         (c) The tentative release date may not be later than the
  149  maximum sentence expiration date.
  150         (4)(a) As a means of encouraging satisfactory behavior and
  151  developing character traits necessary for successful reentry to
  152  the community, the department shall grant good behavior time
  153  basic gain-time at the rate of 10 days for each month of each
  154  sentence imposed on a prisoner, subject to the following:
  155         1. Portions of any sentences to be served concurrently
  156  shall be treated as a single sentence when determining good
  157  behavior time basic gain-time.
  158         2. Good behavior time Basic gain-time for a partial month
  159  shall be prorated on the basis of a 30-day month.
  160         3. When a prisoner receives a new maximum sentence
  161  expiration date because of additional sentences imposed, good
  162  behavior time basic gain-time shall be granted for the amount of
  163  time the maximum sentence expiration date was extended.
  164         (b) For each month in which a prisoner an inmate works
  165  diligently, participates in training or education, uses time
  166  constructively, or otherwise engages in positive activities, the
  167  department may grant rehabilitation credits incentive gain-time
  168  in accordance with this paragraph. The rate of rehabilitation
  169  credits incentive gain-time in effect on the date the prisoner
  170  inmate committed the offense that which resulted in his or her
  171  incarceration shall be the prisoner’s inmate’s rate of
  172  eligibility to earn rehabilitation credits incentive gain-time
  173  throughout the period of incarceration and may shall not be
  174  altered by a subsequent change in the severity level of the
  175  offense for which the prisoner inmate was sentenced.
  176         1. For sentences imposed for offenses committed before
  177  prior to January 1, 1994, and on or after October 1, 1995, up to
  178  20 days of rehabilitation credits incentive gain-time may be
  179  granted. If granted, such rehabilitation credits gain-time shall
  180  be credited and applied monthly.
  181         2. For sentences imposed for offenses committed on or after
  182  January 1, 1994, and before October 1, 1995:
  183         a. For offenses ranked in offense severity levels 1 through
  184  7, under former s. 921.0012 or former s. 921.0013, up to 25 days
  185  of rehabilitation credits incentive gain-time may be granted. If
  186  granted, such rehabilitation credits gain-time shall be credited
  187  and applied monthly.
  188         b. For offenses ranked in offense severity levels 8, 9, and
  189  10, under former s. 921.0012 or former s. 921.0013, up to 20
  190  days of rehabilitation credits incentive gain-time may be

  194  October 1, 1995, the department may grant up to 10 days per
  195  month of incentive gain-time.
  196         (c) A prisoner An inmate who performs some outstanding
  197  deed, such as saving a life or assisting in recapturing an
  198  escaped prisoner inmate, or who in some manner performs an
  199  outstanding service that would merit the granting of additional
  200  deductions from the term of his or her sentence may be granted
  201  an outstanding deed award meritorious gain-time of from 30 1 to
  202  60 days per outstanding deed performed.
  203         (d) Notwithstanding the monthly maximum awards of
  204  rehabilitation credits under subparagraphs (b)1. and 2.,
  205  incentive gain-time under subparagraphs (b)1., 2., and 3., the
  206  education program manager shall recommend, and the department of
  207  Corrections may grant, to a prisoner who is otherwise eligible,
  208  a one-time award of 60 additional days of rehabilitation credits
  209  for each of the following successfully completed by a prisoner:
  210  incentive gain-time to an inmate who is otherwise eligible and
  211  who successfully completes requirements for and is, or has been
  212  during the current commitment, awarded a high school equivalency
  213  diploma, a college degree, a or vocational certificate, a drug
  214  treatment program, a life skills program, a reentry program, or

  221  skill, interpersonal skills, stress and anger management, and
  222  personal development. Additionally, the department shall grant 5
  223  additional days of rehabilitation credits for successful

  226  in-person educational course, as approved by the department.
  227  Rehabilitation credits under this paragraph are retroactive.
  228         (e)Notwithstanding the monthly maximum awards of
  229  rehabilitation credits under subparagraphs (b)1. and 2., the
  230  department may grant up to 2 additional days per month of good
  231  behavior time to prisoners serving sentences for violations of
  232  s. 893.13 or s. 893.135. Good behavior time under this paragraph
  233  is retroactive Under no circumstances may an inmate receive more

  235  section.
  236         (f)(e) Notwithstanding subparagraph (b)1. subparagraph
  237  (b)3., for sentences imposed for offenses committed on or after
  238  October 1, 2014, the department may not grant rehabilitation

  241  3.; s. 794.011, excluding s. 794.011(10); s. 800.04; s.
  242  825.1025; or s. 847.0135(5).
  243         (g)1.(f)A prisoner An inmate who is subject to this
  244  subsection and who is serving a sentence imposed for an offense
  245  committed on or after October 1, 1995, subparagraph (b)3. is not
  246  eligible to earn or receive gain-time good behavior time or
  247  outstanding deed awards under paragraph (a), paragraph (b),
  248  paragraph (c), or paragraph (d) or any other type of gain-time
  249  in an amount that would cause a sentence to expire, end, or
  250  terminate, or that would result in a prisoner’s release, before
  251  he or she serves prior to serving a minimum of 85 percent of the
  252  sentence imposed.
  253         2.A prisoner who is subject to this subsection may not
  254  earn or receive rehabilitation credits in an amount that would
  255  cause a sentence to expire, end, or terminate, or that would
  256  result in a prisoner’s release, before he or she serves a
  257  minimum of 65 percent of the sentence imposed.
  258         3. For purposes of this paragraph, credits awarded by the
  259  court for time physically incarcerated shall be credited toward
  260  satisfaction of 85 percent of the sentence imposed. Except as
  261  provided by this section, a prisoner serving a sentence imposed
  262  for an offense committed on or after October 1, 1995, may not
  263  accumulate further good behavior time gain-time awards at any
  264  point when the tentative release date is the same as that date
  265  at which the prisoner will have served 85 percent of the
  266  sentence imposed. A prisoner may not accumulate further
  267  rehabilitation credits or outstanding deed awards at any point
  268  when the tentative release date is the same as that date at
  269  which the prisoner will have served 65 percent of the sentence
  270  imposed. State prisoners sentenced to life imprisonment shall be
  271  incarcerated for the rest of their natural lives, unless granted
  272  pardon or clemency.
  273         (5) If When a prisoner is found guilty of an infraction of
  274  the laws of this state or the rules of the department, gain-time
  275  may be forfeited according to law after due process.

  277  section shall be computed on and applied to all sentences
  278  imposed for offenses committed on or after July 1, 1978, and
  279  before January 1, 1994.
  280         (b) All good behavior time, rehabilitation credits, and
  281  outstanding deed awards are incentive and meritorious gain-time
  282  is granted according to this section.
  283         (c) All additional gain-time previously awarded under
  284  former subsections (2) and (3) and all forfeitures ordered
  285  before prior to the effective date of the act that created this
  286  section shall remain in effect and be applied in establishing an
  287  initial tentative release date.
  288         (7) The department shall adopt rules to implement the
  289  granting, forfeiture, restoration, and deletion of good behavior
  290  time, rehabilitation credits, and outstanding deed awards, gain
  291  time.
  292         Section 5. Subsection (2) of section 316.027, Florida

  295         (2)(a) The driver of a vehicle involved in a crash
  296  occurring on public or private property which results in injury
  297  to a person other than serious bodily injury shall immediately
  298  stop the vehicle at the scene of the crash, or as close thereto
  299  as possible, and shall remain at the scene of the crash until he
  300  or she has fulfilled the requirements of s. 316.062. A person
  301  who willfully violates this paragraph commits a felony of the
  302  third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083,
  303  or s. 775.084.
  304         (b) The driver of a vehicle involved in a crash occurring
  305  on public or private property which results in serious bodily
  306  injury to a person shall immediately stop the vehicle at the
  307  scene of the crash, or as close thereto as possible, and shall
  308  remain at the scene of the crash until he or she has fulfilled
  309  the requirements of s. 316.062. A person who willfully violates
  310  this paragraph commits a felony of the second degree, punishable
  311  as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.
  312         (c) The driver of a vehicle involved in a crash occurring
  313  on public or private property which results in the death of a
  314  person shall immediately stop the vehicle at the scene of the
  315  crash, or as close thereto as possible, and shall remain at the
  316  scene of the crash until he or she has fulfilled the
  317  requirements of s. 316.062. A person who is arrested for a
  318  violation of this paragraph and who has previously been
  319  convicted of a violation of this section, s. 316.061, s.
  320  316.191, or s. 316.193, or a felony violation of s. 322.34,
  321  shall be held in custody until brought before the court for
  322  admittance to bail in accordance with chapter 903. A person who
  323  willfully violates this paragraph commits a felony of the first
  324  degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s.
  325  775.084, and shall be sentenced to a mandatory minimum term of
  326  imprisonment of 4 years. A person who willfully commits such a
  327  violation while driving under the influence as set forth in s.
  328  316.193(1) shall be sentenced to a mandatory minimum term of
  329  imprisonment of 4 years.
  330         (d) Notwithstanding s. 775.089(1)(a), if the driver of a
  331  vehicle violates paragraph (a), paragraph (b), or paragraph (c),
  332  the court shall order the driver to make restitution to the
  333  victim for any damage or loss unless the court finds clear and
  334  compelling reasons not to order the restitution. Restitution may
  335  be monetary or nonmonetary restitution. The court shall make the
  336  payment of restitution a condition of probation in accordance
  337  with s. 948.03. An order requiring the defendant to make
  338  restitution to a victim does not remove or diminish the
  339  requirement that the court order payment to the Crimes
  340  Compensation Trust Fund under chapter 960. Payment of an award
  341  by the Crimes Compensation Trust Fund creates an order of
  342  restitution to the Crimes Compensation Trust Fund unless
  343  specifically waived in accordance with s. 775.089(1)(b).

 1192         944.28 Forfeiture of gain-time and the right to earn gain
 1193  time in the future.—
 1194         (1) If a prisoner is convicted of escape, or if the
 1195  clemency, conditional release as described in chapter 947,
 1196  probation or community control as described in chapter 948,
 1197  provisional release as described in s. 944.277, parole, or

 1202  or his or her release under such clemency, conditional release,
 1203  probation, community control, provisional release, control
 1204  release, or parole.
 1205         (2)(a) All or any part of the gain-time earned by a
 1206  prisoner according to the provisions of law is subject to
 1207  forfeiture if such prisoner unsuccessfully attempts to escape;
 1208  assaults another person; threatens or knowingly endangers the
 1209  life or person of another person; refuses by action or word to
 1210  carry out any instruction duly given to him or her; neglects to

 1219         (b) A prisoner’s right to earn gain-time during all or any
 1220  part of the remainder of the sentence or sentences under which
 1221  he or she is imprisoned may be declared forfeited because of the
 1222  seriousness of a single instance of misconduct or because of the
 1223  seriousness of an accumulation of instances of misconduct.
 1224         (c) The method of declaring a forfeiture under paragraph
 1225  (a) or paragraph (b) shall be as follows: A written charge shall
 1226  be prepared, which shall specify each instance of misconduct
 1227  upon which it is based and the approximate date thereof. A copy

 1230  committee created under the authorization of rules heretofore or
 1231  hereafter adopted by the department for the institution in which
 1232  he or she is confined. The prisoner shall be present at the
 1233  hearing. If at such hearing the prisoner pleads guilty to the
 1234  charge or if the committee determines that the prisoner is
 1235  guilty thereof upon the basis of proof presented at such
 1236  hearing, it shall find him or her guilty. If the committee
 1237  considers that all or part of the prisoner’s gain-time and the
 1238  prisoner’s right to earn gain-time during all or any part of the
 1239  sentence or sentences under which he or she is imprisoned shall
 1240  be forfeited, it shall so recommend in its written report. Such
 1241  report shall be presented to the warden of the institution, who
 1242  may approve such recommendation in whole or in part by endorsing
 1243  such approval on the report. In the event of approval, the
 1244  warden shall forward the report to the department. Thereupon,
 1245  the department may, in its discretion, declare the forfeiture
 1246  thus approved by the warden or any specified part thereof.
 1247         (3) Upon the recommendation of the warden, the department
 1248  may, in its discretion, restore all or any part of any gain-time
 1249  forfeited under this section.

 1438         and outstanding deed awards; requiring the department
 1439         to grant good behavior time, rather than basic gain

 1442         successful reentry to the community, subject to
 1443         certain conditions; authorizing the department to

 1447         eligibility to earn rehabilitation credits; increasing

 1460         behavior time or outstanding deed awards in an amount
 1461         that would cause a sentence to expire, end, or
 1462         terminate, or that would result in a prisoner’s
 1463         release, before he or she serves a specified minimum
 1464         percentage of the sentence imposed; prohibiting
 1465         certain prisoners from earning or receiving
 1466         rehabilitation credits in an amount that would cause a

 1468         result in a prisoner’s release, before he or she
 1469         serves a specified minimum percentage of the sentence
 1470         imposed; providing that gain-time may be forfeited
