571 212.05 Sales, storage, use tax.—It is hereby declared to be
572 the legislative intent that every person is exercising a taxable
573 privilege who engages in the business of selling tangible
574 personal property at retail in this state, including the
575 business of making or facilitating remote sales; who rents or
576 furnishes any of the things or services taxable under this
577 chapter; or who stores for use or consumption in this state any
578 item or article of tangible personal property as defined herein
579 and who leases or rents such property within the state.
580 (1) For the exercise of such privilege, a tax is levied on
581 each taxable transaction or incident, which tax is due and
582 payable as follows:
583 (c) At the rate of 6 percent of the gross proceeds derived
584 from the lease or rental of tangible personal property, as
585 defined herein; however, the following special provisions apply
586 to the lease or rental of motor vehicles and to peer-to-peer
587 car-sharing programs:
588 1. When a motor vehicle is leased or rented by a motor
589 vehicle rental company or through a peer-to-peer car-sharing
590 program as those terms are defined in s. 212.0606(1) for a
591 period of less than 12 months:
592 a. If the motor vehicle is rented in Florida, the entire
593 amount of such rental is taxable, even if the vehicle is dropped
594 off in another state.
595 b. If the motor vehicle is rented in another state and
596 dropped off in Florida, the rental is exempt from Florida tax.
597 c. If the motor vehicle is rented through a peer-to-peer
598 car-sharing program, the peer-to-peer car-sharing program shall
599 collect and remit the applicable tax due in connection with the
600 rental.
601 2. Except as provided in subparagraph 3., for the lease or
602 rental of a motor vehicle for a period of not less than 12
603 months, sales tax is due on the lease or rental payments if the
604 vehicle is registered in this state; provided, however, that no
605 tax shall be due if the taxpayer documents use of the motor
606 vehicle outside this state and tax is being paid on the lease or
607 rental payments in another state.
608 3. The tax imposed by this chapter does not apply to the
609 lease or rental of a commercial motor vehicle as defined in s.
610 316.003(15)(a) s. 316.003(14)(a) to one lessee or rentee for a
611 period of not less than 12 months when tax was paid on the
612 purchase price of such vehicle by the lessor. To the extent tax
613 was paid with respect to the purchase of such vehicle in another
614 state, territory of the United States, or the District of
615 Columbia, the Florida tax payable shall be reduced in accordance
616 with s. 212.06(7). This subparagraph shall only be available
617 when the lease or rental of such property is an established
618 business or part of an established business or the same is
619 incidental or germane to such business.
620 Section 12. Paragraph (f) of subsection (1) of section
621 316.1932, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:
622 316.1932 Tests for alcohol, chemical substances, or
623 controlled substances; implied consent; refusal.—
624 (1)
625 (f)1. The tests determining the weight of alcohol in the
626 defendant’s blood or breath shall be administered at the request
627 of a law enforcement officer substantially in accordance with
628 rules of the Department of Law Enforcement. Such rules must
629 specify precisely the test or tests that are approved by the
630 Department of Law Enforcement for reliability of result and ease
631 of administration, and must provide an approved method of
632 administration which must be followed in all such tests given
633 under this section. However, the failure of a law enforcement
634 officer to request the withdrawal of blood does not affect the
635 admissibility of a test of blood withdrawn for medical purposes.
636 2.a. Only a physician, certified paramedic, registered
637 nurse, licensed practical nurse, other personnel authorized by a
638 hospital to draw blood, or duly licensed clinical laboratory
639 director, supervisor, technologist, or technician, acting at the
640 request of a law enforcement officer, may withdraw blood for the
641 purpose of determining its alcoholic content or the presence of
642 chemical substances or controlled substances therein. However,
643 the failure of a law enforcement officer to request the
644 withdrawal of blood does not affect the admissibility of a test
645 of blood withdrawn for medical purposes.
646 b. Notwithstanding any provision of law pertaining to the
647 confidentiality of hospital records or other medical records, if
648 a health care provider, who is providing medical care in a
649 health care facility to a person injured in a motor vehicle
650 crash, becomes aware, as a result of any blood test performed in
651 the course of that medical treatment, that the person’s blood
652 alcohol level meets or exceeds the blood-alcohol level specified
653 in s. 316.193(1)(a)2. s. 316.193(1)(b), the health care provider
654 may notify any law enforcement officer or law enforcement
655 agency. Any such notice must be given within a reasonable time
656 after the health care provider receives the test result. Any
657 such notice shall be used only for the purpose of providing the
658 law enforcement officer with reasonable cause to request the
659 withdrawal of a blood sample pursuant to this section.
660 c. The notice must shall consist only of the name of the
661 person being treated, the name of the person who drew the blood,
662 the blood-alcohol level indicated by the test, and the date and
663 time of the administration of the test.
664 d. Nothing contained in s. 395.3025(4), s. 456.057, or any
665 applicable practice act affects the authority to provide notice
666 under this section, and the health care provider is not
667 considered to have breached any duty owed to the person under s.
668 395.3025(4), s. 456.057, or any applicable practice act by
669 providing notice or failing to provide notice. It is shall not
670 be a breach of any ethical, moral, or legal duty for a health
671 care provider to provide notice or fail to provide notice.
672 e. A civil, criminal, or administrative action may not be
673 brought against any person or health care provider participating
674 in good faith in the provision of notice or failure to provide
675 notice as provided in this section. Any person or health care
676 provider participating in the provision of notice or failure to
677 provide notice as provided in this section shall be immune from
678 any civil or criminal liability and from any professional
679 disciplinary action with respect to the provision of notice or
680 failure to provide notice under this section. Any such
681 participant has the same immunity with respect to participating
682 in any judicial proceedings resulting from the notice or failure
683 to provide notice.
684 3. The person tested may, at his or her own expense, have a
685 physician, registered nurse, other personnel authorized by a
686 hospital to draw blood, or duly licensed clinical laboratory
687 director, supervisor, technologist, or technician, or other
688 person of his or her own choosing administer an independent test
689 in addition to the test administered at the direction of the law
690 enforcement officer for the purpose of determining the amount of
691 alcohol in the person’s blood or breath or the presence of
692 chemical substances or controlled substances at the time
693 alleged, as shown by chemical analysis of his or her blood or
694 urine, or by chemical or physical test of his or her breath. The
695 failure or inability to obtain an independent test by a person
696 does not preclude the admissibility in evidence of the test
697 taken at the direction of the law enforcement officer. The law
698 enforcement officer shall not interfere with the person’s
699 opportunity to obtain the independent test and shall provide the
700 person with timely telephone access to secure the test, but the
701 burden is on the person to arrange and secure the test at the
702 person’s own expense.
703 4. Upon the request of the person tested, full information
704 concerning the results of the test taken at the direction of the
705 law enforcement officer shall be made available to the person or
706 his or her attorney. Full information is limited to the
707 following:
708 a. The type of test administered and the procedures
709 followed.
710 b. The time of the collection of the blood or breath sample
711 analyzed.
712 c. The numerical results of the test indicating the alcohol
713 content of the blood and breath.
714 d. The type and status of any permit issued by the
715 Department of Law Enforcement which was held by the person who
716 performed the test.
717 e. If the test was administered by means of a breath
718 testing instrument, the date of performance of the most recent
719 required inspection of such instrument.
720
721 Full information does not include manuals, schematics, or
722 software of the instrument used to test the person or any other
723 material that is not in the actual possession of the state.
724 Additionally, full information does not include information in
725 the possession of the manufacturer of the test instrument.
726 5. A hospital, clinical laboratory, medical clinic, or
727 similar medical institution or physician, certified paramedic,
728 registered nurse, licensed practical nurse, other personnel
729 authorized by a hospital to draw blood, or duly licensed
730 clinical laboratory director, supervisor, technologist, or
731 technician, or other person assisting a law enforcement officer
732 does not incur any civil or criminal liability as a result of
733 the withdrawal or analysis of a blood or urine specimen, or the
734 chemical or physical test of a person’s breath pursuant to
735 accepted medical standards when requested by a law enforcement
736 officer, regardless of whether or not the subject resisted
737 administration of the test.

739 316.1933, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:

741 of death or serious bodily injury; right to use reasonable
742 force.—

744 nurse, licensed practical nurse, other personnel authorized by a
745 hospital to draw blood, or duly licensed clinical laboratory
746 director, supervisor, technologist, or technician, acting at the
747 request of a law enforcement officer, may withdraw blood for the
748 purpose of determining the alcoholic content thereof or the
749 presence of chemical substances or controlled substances
750 therein. However, the failure of a law enforcement officer to
751 request the withdrawal of blood does shall not affect the
752 admissibility of a test of blood withdrawn for medical purposes.
753 1. Notwithstanding any provision of law pertaining to the
754 confidentiality of hospital records or other medical records, if
755 a health care provider, who is providing medical care in a
756 health care facility to a person injured in a motor vehicle
757 crash, becomes aware, as a result of any blood test performed in
758 the course of that medical treatment, that the person’s blood
759 alcohol level meets or exceeds the blood-alcohol level specified
760 in s. 316.193(1)(a)2. s. 316.193(1)(b), the health care provider
761 may notify any law enforcement officer or law enforcement
762 agency. Any such notice must be given within a reasonable time
763 after the health care provider receives the test result. Any
764 such notice shall be used only for the purpose of providing the
765 law enforcement officer with reasonable cause to request the
766 withdrawal of a blood sample pursuant to this section.
767 2. The notice must shall consist only of the name of the
768 person being treated, the name of the person who drew the blood,
769 the blood-alcohol level indicated by the test, and the date and
770 time of the administration of the test.
771 3. Nothing contained in s. 395.3025(4), s. 456.057, or any
772 applicable practice act affects the authority to provide notice
773 under this section, and the health care provider is not
774 considered to have breached any duty owed to the person under s.
775 395.3025(4), s. 456.057, or any applicable practice act by
776 providing notice or failing to provide notice. It is shall not
777 be a breach of any ethical, moral, or legal duty for a health
778 care provider to provide notice or fail to provide notice.
779 4. A civil, criminal, or administrative action may not be
780 brought against any person or health care provider participating
781 in good faith in the provision of notice or failure to provide
782 notice as provided in this section. Any person or health care
783 provider participating in the provision of notice or failure to
784 provide notice as provided in this section shall be immune from
785 any civil or criminal liability and from any professional
786 disciplinary action with respect to the provision of notice or
787 failure to provide notice under this section. Any such
788 participant has the same immunity with respect to participating
789 in any judicial proceedings resulting from the notice or failure
790 to provide notice.

1267 Section 26. For the purpose of incorporating the amendment
1268 made by this act to section 316.193, Florida Statutes, in a
1269 reference thereto, paragraph (j) of subsection (3) of section
1270 947.146, Florida Statutes, is reenacted to read:
1271 947.146 Control Release Authority.—
1272 (3) Within 120 days prior to the date the state
1273 correctional system is projected pursuant to s. 216.136 to
1274 exceed 99 percent of total capacity, the authority shall
1275 determine eligibility for and establish a control release date
1276 for an appropriate number of parole ineligible inmates committed
1277 to the department and incarcerated within the state who have
1278 been determined by the authority to be eligible for
1279 discretionary early release pursuant to this section. In
1280 establishing control release dates, it is the intent of the
1281 Legislature that the authority prioritize consideration of
1282 eligible inmates closest to their tentative release date. The
1283 authority shall rely upon commitment data on the offender
1284 information system maintained by the department to initially
1285 identify inmates who are to be reviewed for control release
1286 consideration. The authority may use a method of objective risk
1287 assessment in determining if an eligible inmate should be
1288 released. Such assessment shall be a part of the department’s
1289 management information system. However, the authority shall have
1290 sole responsibility for determining control release eligibility,
1291 establishing a control release date, and effectuating the
1292 release of a sufficient number of inmates to maintain the inmate
1293 population between 99 percent and 100 percent of total capacity.
1294 Inmates who are ineligible for control release are inmates who
1295 are parole eligible or inmates who:
1296 (j) Are convicted, or have been previously convicted, of
1297 DUI manslaughter under s. 316.193(3)(c)3., and are sentenced, or
1298 have been sentenced at any time, as a habitual offender for such
1299 offense, or have been sentenced at any time in another
1300 jurisdiction as a habitual offender for such offense;
1301
1302 In making control release eligibility determinations under this
1303 subsection, the authority may rely on any document leading to or
1304 generated during the course of the criminal proceedings,
1305 including, but not limited to, any presentence or postsentence
1306 investigation or any information contained in arrest reports
1307 relating to circumstances of the offense.
1308 Section 27. This act shall take effect July 1, 2024.
