185 criminal charges even in circumstances when there is no
186 cooperation from a victim or over the objection of the victim,
187 if necessary.
188 Section 3. Subsections (2) and (3) and paragraph (a) of
189 subsection (6) of section 943.0583, Florida Statutes, are
190 amended to read:
191 943.0583 Human trafficking victim expunction.—
192 (2) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, upon the
193 filing of a petition as provided in this section, any court in
194 the circuit in which the petitioner was arrested, so long as the
195 court has jurisdiction over the class of offense or offenses
196 sought to be expunged, may order a criminal justice agency to
197 expunge the criminal history record of a victim of human
198 trafficking who complies with the requirements of this section.
199 A petition need not be filed in the court where the petitioner’s
200 criminal proceeding or proceedings originally occurred. This
201 section does not confer any right to the expunction of any
202 criminal history record, and any request for expunction of a
203 criminal history record may be denied at the discretion of the
204 court. The clerk of the court may not charge a filing fee,
205 service charge, or copy fee or any other charge for a petition
206 filed under this section. The clerk of the court shall treat a
207 petition seeking to expunge more than one eligible case as a
208 single petition.
209 (3) A person who is a victim of human trafficking may
210 petition for the expunction of a criminal history record
211 resulting from the arrest or filing of charges for one or more
212 offenses an offense committed or reported to have been committed
213 while the person was a victim of human trafficking, which
214 offense was committed or reported to have been committed as a
215 part of the human trafficking scheme of which the person was a
216 victim or at the direction of an operator of the scheme,
217 including, but not limited to, violations under chapters 796 and
218 847, without regard to the disposition of the arrest or of any
219 charges. However, this section does not apply to any offense
220 listed in s. 775.084(1)(b)1. Determination of the petition under
221 this section should be by a preponderance of the evidence. A
222 conviction expunged under this section is deemed to have been
223 vacated due to a substantive defect in the underlying criminal
224 proceedings. If a person is adjudicated not guilty by reason of
225 insanity or is found to be incompetent to stand trial for any
226 such charge, the expunction of the criminal history record may
227 not prevent the entry of the judgment or finding in state and
228 national databases for use in determining eligibility to
229 purchase or possess a firearm or to carry a concealed firearm,
230 as authorized in s. 790.065(2)(a)4.c. and 18 U.S.C. s. 922(t),
231 nor shall it prevent any governmental agency that is authorized
232 by state or federal law to determine eligibility to purchase or
233 possess a firearm or to carry a concealed firearm from accessing
234 or using the record of the judgment or finding in the course of
235 such agency’s official duties.
236 (6) Each petition to a court to expunge a criminal history
237 record is complete only when accompanied by:
238 (a) The petitioner’s sworn statement attesting that the
239 petitioner is eligible for such an expunction to the best of his
240 or her knowledge or belief and does not have any other petition
241 to expunge or any petition to seal pending before any court.
242
243 Any person who knowingly provides false information on such
244 sworn statement to the court commits a felony of the third
245 degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s.
246 775.084.
247 Section 4. Subsections (1) and (2) of section 948.30,
248 Florida Statutes, are amended to read:
249 948.30 Additional terms and conditions of probation or
250 community control for certain sex offenses.—Conditions imposed
251 pursuant to this section do not require oral pronouncement at
252 the time of sentencing and shall be considered standard
253 conditions of probation or community control for offenders
254 specified in this section.
255 (1) Effective for probationers or community controllees
256 whose crime was committed on or after October 1, 1995, and who
257 are placed under supervision for a violation of chapter 794, s.
258 800.04, s. 827.071, s. 847.0135(5), or s. 847.0145, or whose
259 crime was committed on or after July 1, 2021, and who are placed
260 under supervision for a violation of s. 787.06(3)(b), (d), (f),
261 or (g), the court must impose the following conditions in
262 addition to all other standard and special conditions imposed:
263 (a) A mandatory curfew from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. The court may
264 designate another 8-hour period if the offender’s employment
265 precludes the above specified time, and the alternative is
266 recommended by the Department of Corrections. If the court
267 determines that imposing a curfew would endanger the victim, the
268 court may consider alternative sanctions.
269 (b) If the victim was under the age of 18, a prohibition on
270 living within 1,000 feet of a school, child care facility, park,
271 playground, or other place where children regularly congregate,
272 as prescribed by the court. The 1,000-foot distance shall be
273 measured in a straight line from the offender’s place of
274 residence to the nearest boundary line of the school, child care
275 facility, park, playground, or other place where children
276 congregate. The distance may not be measured by a pedestrian
277 route or automobile route. A probationer or community controllee
278 who is subject to this paragraph may not be forced to relocate
279 and does not violate his or her probation or community control
280 if he or she is living in a residence that meets the
281 requirements of this paragraph and a school, child care
282 facility, park, playground, or other place where children
283 regularly congregate is subsequently established within 1,000
284 feet of his or her residence.
285 (c) Active participation in and successful completion of a
286 sex offender treatment program with qualified practitioners
287 specifically trained to treat sex offenders, at the
288 probationer’s or community controllee’s own expense. If a
289 qualified practitioner is not available within a 50-mile radius
290 of the probationer’s or community controllee’s residence, the
291 offender shall participate in other appropriate therapy.
292 (d) A prohibition on any contact with the victim, directly
293 or indirectly, including through a third person, unless approved
294 by the victim, a qualified practitioner in the sexual offender
295 treatment program, and the sentencing court.
296 (e) If the victim was under the age of 18, a prohibition on
297 contact with a child under the age of 18 except as provided in
298 this paragraph. The court may approve supervised contact with a
299 child under the age of 18 if the approval is based upon a
300 recommendation for contact issued by a qualified practitioner
301 who is basing the recommendation on a risk assessment. Further,
302 the sex offender must be currently enrolled in or have
303 successfully completed a sex offender therapy program. The court
304 may not grant supervised contact with a child if the contact is
305 not recommended by a qualified practitioner and may deny
306 supervised contact with a child at any time. When considering
307 whether to approve supervised contact with a child, the court
308 must review and consider the following:
309 1. A risk assessment completed by a qualified practitioner.
310 The qualified practitioner must prepare a written report that
311 must include the findings of the assessment and address each of
312 the following components:
313 a. The sex offender’s current legal status;
314 b. The sex offender’s history of adult charges with
315 apparent sexual motivation;
316 c. The sex offender’s history of adult charges without
317 apparent sexual motivation;
318 d. The sex offender’s history of juvenile charges, whenever
319 available;
320 e. The sex offender’s offender treatment history, including
321 consultations with the sex offender’s treating, or most recent
322 treating, therapist;
323 f. The sex offender’s current mental status;
324 g. The sex offender’s mental health and substance abuse
325 treatment history as provided by the Department of Corrections;
326 h. The sex offender’s personal, social, educational, and
327 work history;
328 i. The results of current psychological testing of the sex
329 offender if determined necessary by the qualified practitioner;
330 j. A description of the proposed contact, including the
331 location, frequency, duration, and supervisory arrangement;
332 k. The child’s preference and relative comfort level with
333 the proposed contact, when age appropriate;
334 l. The parent’s or legal guardian’s preference regarding
335 the proposed contact; and
336 m. The qualified practitioner’s opinion, along with the
337 basis for that opinion, as to whether the proposed contact would
338 likely pose significant risk of emotional or physical harm to
339 the child.
340
341 The written report of the assessment must be given to the court;
342 2. A recommendation made as a part of the risk assessment
343 report as to whether supervised contact with the child should be
344 approved;
345 3. A written consent signed by the child’s parent or legal
346 guardian, if the parent or legal guardian is not the sex
347 offender, agreeing to the sex offender having supervised contact
348 with the child after receiving full disclosure of the sex
349 offender’s present legal status, past criminal history, and the
350 results of the risk assessment. The court may not approve
351 contact with the child if the parent or legal guardian refuses
352 to give written consent for supervised contact;
353 4. A safety plan prepared by the qualified practitioner,
354 who provides treatment to the offender, in collaboration with
355 the sex offender, the child’s parent or legal guardian, if the
356 parent or legal guardian is not the sex offender, and the child,
357 when age appropriate, which details the acceptable conditions of
358 contact between the sex offender and the child. The safety plan
359 must be reviewed and approved by the court; and
360 5. Evidence that the child’s parent or legal guardian
361 understands the need for and agrees to the safety plan and has
362 agreed to provide, or to designate another adult to provide,
363 constant supervision any time the child is in contact with the
364 offender.
365
366 The court may not appoint a person to conduct a risk assessment
367 and may not accept a risk assessment from a person who has not
368 demonstrated to the court that he or she has met the
369 requirements of a qualified practitioner as defined in this
370 section.

381 media, computer programs, or computer services that are relevant
382 to the offender’s deviant behavior pattern.
383 (h) Effective for probationers and community controllees
384 whose crime is committed on or after July 1, 2005, a prohibition
385 on accessing the Internet or other computer services until a
386 qualified practitioner in the offender’s sex offender treatment
387 program, after a risk assessment is completed, approves and
388 implements a safety plan for the offender’s accessing or using
389 the Internet or other computer services.
390 (i) A requirement that the probationer or community
391 controllee must submit a specimen of blood or other approved
392 biological specimen to the Department of Law Enforcement to be

395 controllee make restitution to the victim, as ordered by the

417 state polygraph association and who is certified as a
418 postconviction sex offender polygrapher, where available, and
419 shall be paid for by the probationer or community controllee.
420 The results of the polygraph examination shall be provided to
