337  municipality, to the chief of police of that municipality, the 
338  following information, which must include, but need not be 
339  limited to: 
340         1.(a) Name; 
341         2.(b) Social security number; 
342         3.(c) Date of birth; 
343         4.(d) Race; 
344         5.(e) Sex;

349         10.(j) Fingerprints; and 
350         11.(k) A digitized photograph as provided in subsection 
351  (2). 
352 
353  The department shall release the information specified in this 
354  paragraph subsection within 6 months prior to the discharge of 
355  the inmate from the custody of the department. 
356         (b)The department may electronically submit the 
357  information listed in paragraph (a) to the sheriff of the county 
358  in which the inmate plans to reside, and, if the inmate plans to 
359  reside within a municipality, to the chief of police of that 
360  municipality. 
361         Section 11. Section 944.804, Florida Statutes, is amended 
362  to read: 
363         944.804 Elderly offenders correctional facilities program 
364  of 2000.— 
365         (1) The Legislature finds that the number and percentage of 
366  elderly offenders in the Florida prison system is increasing and 
367  will continue to increase for the foreseeable future. The 
368  current cost to incarcerate elderly offenders is approximately 
369  three times the cost of incarceration of younger inmates. 
370  Alternatives to the current approaches to housing, programming, 
371  and treating the medical needs of elderly offenders, which may 
372  reduce the overall costs associated with this segment of the 
373  prison population, must be explored and implemented. 
374         (2) The department shall establish and operate a geriatric 
375  facilities or geriatric dorms within a facility at the site 
376  known as River Junction Correctional Institution, which shall be 
377  an institution specifically for generally healthy elderly 
378  offenders who can perform general work appropriate for their 
379  physical and mental condition. Prior to reopening the facility, 
380  the department shall make modifications to the facility which 
381  will ensure its compliance with the Americans with Disabilities 
382  Act and decrease the likelihood of falls, accidental injury, and 
383  other conditions known to be particularly hazardous to the 
384  elderly. 
385         (a) In order to decrease long-term medical costs to the 
386  state, a preventive fitness/wellness program and diet 
387  specifically designed to maintain the mental and physical health 
388  of elderly offenders shall be developed and implemented. In 
389  developing the program, the department shall give consideration 
390  to preventive medical care for the elderly which shall include, 
391  but not be limited to, maintenance of bone density, all aspects 
392  of cardiovascular health, lung capacity, mental alertness, and 
393  orientation. Existing policies and procedures shall be 
394  reexamined and altered to encourage offenders to adopt a more 
395  healthy lifestyle and maximize their level of functioning. The 
396  program components shall be modified as data and experience are 
397  received which measure the relative success of the program 
398  components previously implemented. 
399         (b) Consideration must be given to redirecting resources as 
400  a method of offsetting increased medical costs. Elderly 
401  offenders are not likely to reenter society as a part of the 
402  workforce, and programming resources would be better spent in 
403  activities to keep the elderly offenders healthy, alert, and 
404  oriented. Limited or restricted programming or activities for 
405  elderly offenders will increase the daily cost of institutional 
406  and health care, and programming opportunities adequate to 
407  reduce the cost of care will be provided. Programming shall 
408  include, but not be limited to, recreation, education, and 
409  counseling which is needs-specific to elderly offenders. 
410  Institutional staff shall be specifically trained to effectively 
411  supervise elderly offenders and to detect physical or mental 
412  changes which warrant medical attention before more serious 
413  problems develop. 
414         (3) The department shall adopt rules that specify which 
415  elderly offenders shall be eligible to be housed at the 
416  geriatric correctional facilities or dorms River Junction 
417  Correctional Institution. 
418         (4) While developing the criteria for eligibility, the 
419  department shall use the information in existing offender 
420  databases to determine the number of offenders who would be 
421  eligible. The Legislature directs the department to consider a 
422  broad range of elderly offenders for the department’s geriatric 
423  facilities or dorms River Junction Correctional Institution who 
424  have good disciplinary records and a medical grade that will 
425  permit them to perform meaningful work activities, including 
426  participation in an appropriate correctional work program 
427  (PRIDE) facility, if available. 
428         (5) The department shall also submit a study based on 
429  existing offenders which projects the number of existing 
430  offenders who will qualify under the rules. An appendix to the 
431  study shall identify the specific offenders who qualify. 
432         Section 12. Section 944.8041, Florida Statutes, is amended 
433  to read: 
434         944.8041 Elderly offenders; annual review.—For the purpose 
435  of providing information to the Legislature on elderly offenders 
436  within the correctional system, the department and the 
437  Correctional Medical Authority shall each submit annually a 
438  report on the status and treatment of elderly offenders in the 
439  state-administered and private state correctional systems and, 
440  as well as such information on the department’s geriatric 
441  facilities and dorms River Junction Correctional Institution. In 
442  order to adequately prepare the reports, the department and the 
443  Department of Management Services shall grant access to the 
444  Correctional Medical Authority which includes access to the 
445  facilities, offenders, and any information the agencies require 
446  to complete their reports. The review shall also include an 
447  examination of promising geriatric policies, practices, and 
448  programs currently implemented in other correctional systems 
449  within the United States. The reports, with specific findings 
450  and recommendations for implementation, shall be submitted to 
451  the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of 
452  Representatives on or before December 31 of each year. 
453         Section 13. Subsections (4) and (5) of section 945.41, 
454  Florida Statutes, are amended to read: 
455         945.41 Legislative intent of ss. 945.40-945.49.—It is the 
456  intent of the Legislature that mentally ill inmates in the 
457  custody of the Department of Corrections receive evaluation and 
458  appropriate treatment for their mental illness through a 
459  continuum of services. It is further the intent of the 
460  Legislature that: 
461         (4) Any inmate sentenced as a youthful offender, or 
462  designated as a youthful offender by the department under 
463  pursuant to chapter 958, who is transferred pursuant to this act 
464  to a mental health treatment facility be separated from other 
465  inmates, if necessary, as determined by the warden of the 
466  treatment facility. In no case shall any youthful offender be 
467  placed at the Florida State Prison or the Union Correctional 
468  Institution for mental health treatment. 
469         (5) The department may designate a mental health treatment 
470  facilities facility for adult, youthful, and female offenders or 
471  may contract with other appropriate entities, persons, or 
472  agencies for such services. 
473         Section 14. Subsections (5) and (6) of section 945.42, 
474  Florida Statutes, are amended to read: 
475         945.42 Definitions; ss. 945.40-945.49.—As used in ss. 
476  945.40-945.49, the following terms shall have the meanings 
477  ascribed to them, unless the context shall clearly indicate 
478  otherwise: 
479         (5) “In immediate need of care and treatment” means that an 
480  inmate is apparently mentally ill and is not able to be 
481  appropriately cared for in the institution where he or she is 
482  confined and that, but for being isolated in a more restrictive 
483  and secure housing environment, because of the apparent mental 
484  illness: 
485         (a)1. The inmate is demonstrating a refusal to care for 
486  himself or herself and without immediate treatment intervention 
487  is likely to continue to refuse to care for himself or herself, 
488  and such refusal poses an immediate, real, and present threat of 
489  substantial harm to his or her well-being; or 
490         2. There is an immediate, real, and present threat that the 
491  inmate will inflict serious bodily harm on himself or herself or 
492  another person, as evidenced by recent behavior involving 
493  causing, attempting, or threatening such harm; 
494         (b)1.The inmate has refused voluntary placement for 
495  treatment at a mental health treatment facility after sufficient 
496  and conscientious explanation and disclosure of the purpose of 
497  placement; or 
498         2. The inmate is unable to determine for himself or herself 
499  whether placement is necessary; and 
500         (c) All available less restrictive treatment alternatives 
501  that would offer an opportunity for improvement of the inmate’s 
502  condition have been clinically determined to be inappropriate. 
503         (6) “In need of care and treatment” means that an inmate 
504  has a mental illness for which inpatient services in a mental 
505  health treatment facility are necessary and that, but for being 
506  isolated in a more restrictive and secure housing environment, 
507  because of the mental illness: 
508         (a)1. The inmate is demonstrating a refusal to care for 
509  himself or herself and without treatment is likely to continue 
510  to refuse to care for himself or herself, and such refusal poses 
511  a real and present threat of substantial harm to his or her 
512  well-being; or 
513         2. There is a substantial likelihood that in the near 
514  future the inmate will inflict serious bodily harm on himself or 
515  herself or another person, as evidenced by recent behavior 
516  causing, attempting, or threatening such harm; 
517         (b)1.The inmate has refused voluntary placement for 
518  treatment at a mental health treatment facility after sufficient 
519  and conscientious explanation and disclosure of the purpose of 
520  placement; or 
521         2. The inmate is unable to determine for himself or herself 
522  whether placement is necessary; and 
523         (c) All available less restrictive treatment alternatives 
524  that would offer an opportunity for improvement of the inmate’s 
525  condition have been clinically determined to be inappropriate. 
526         Section 15. Section 945.43, Florida Statutes, is amended to 
527  read: 
528         945.43 Placement Admission of inmate in a to mental health 
529  treatment facility.— 
530         (1) CRITERIA.—An inmate may be placed in admitted to a 
531  mental health treatment facility if he or she is mentally ill 
532  and is in need of care and treatment, as defined in s. 945.42. 
533         (2) PROCEDURE FOR PLACEMENT IN A MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT 
534  FACILITY.— 
535         (a) An inmate may be placed in admitted to a mental health 
536  treatment facility after notice and hearing, upon the 
537  recommendation of the warden of the facility where the inmate is 
538  confined. The recommendation shall be entered on a petition and 
539  must be supported by the expert opinion of a psychiatrist and 
540  the second opinion of a psychiatrist or psychological 
541  professional. The petition shall be filed with the court in the 
542  county where the inmate is located. 
543         (b) A copy of the petition shall be served on the inmate, 
544  accompanied by a written notice that the inmate may apply 
545  immediately to the court to have an attorney appointed if the 
546  inmate cannot afford one. 
547         (c) The petition for placement shall may be filed in the 
548  county in which the inmate is located. The hearing shall be held 
549  in the same county, and one of the inmate’s physicians at the 
550  facility where the inmate is located shall appear as a witness 
551  at the hearing. 
552         (d) An attorney representing the inmate shall have access 
553  to the inmate and any records, including medical or mental 
554  health records, which are relevant to the representation of the 
555  inmate. 
556         (e) If the court finds that the inmate is mentally ill and 
557  in need of care and treatment, as defined in s. 945.42, the 
558  court shall order that he or she be placed in a mental health 
559  treatment facility or, if the inmate is at a mental health 
560  treatment facility, that he or she be retained there. The court 
561  shall authorize the mental health treatment facility to retain 
562  the inmate for up to 6 months. If, at the end of that time, 
563  continued placement is necessary, the warden shall apply to the 
564  Division of Administrative Hearings in accordance with s. 945.45 
565  for an order authorizing continued placement. 
566         (3) PROCEDURE FOR HEARING ON PLACEMENT OF AN INMATE IN A 
567  MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT FACILITY.— 
568         (a) The court shall serve notice on the warden of the 
569  facility where the inmate is confined and the allegedly mentally 
570  ill inmate. The notice must specify the date, time, and place of 
571  the hearing; the basis for the allegation of mental illness; and 
572  the names of the examining experts. The hearing shall be held 
573  within 5 days, and the court may appoint a general or special 
574  magistrate to preside. The court may waive the presence of the 
575  inmate at the hearing if the such waiver is consistent with the 
576  best interests of the inmate and the inmate’s counsel does not 
577  object. The department may transport the inmate to the location 
578  of the hearing if the hearing is not conducted at the facility 
579  or by electronic means. The hearing may be as informal as is 
580  consistent with orderly procedure. One of the experts whose 
581  opinion supported the petition for placement shall be present at 
582  the hearing for information purposes. 
583         (b) If, at the hearing, the court finds that the inmate is 
584  mentally ill and in need of care and treatment, as defined in s. 
585  945.42, the court shall order that he or she be placed in a 
586  mental health treatment facility. The court shall provide a copy 
587  of its order authorizing placement and all supporting 
588  documentation relating to the inmate’s condition to the warden 
589  of the treatment facility. If the court finds that the inmate is 
590  not mentally ill, it shall dismiss the petition for placement. 
591         (4) REFUSAL OF PLACEMENT.—The warden of an institution in 
592  which a mental health treatment facility is located may refuse 
593  to place any inmate in that treatment facility who is not 
594  accompanied by adequate court orders and documentation, as 
595  required in ss. 945.40-945.49. 
596         Section 16. Section 945.46, Florida Statutes, is amended to 
597  read: 
598         945.46 Initiation of involuntary placement proceedings with 
599  respect to a mentally ill inmate scheduled for release.— 
600         (1) If an inmate who is receiving mental health treatment 
601  in the department is scheduled for release through expiration of 
602  sentence or any other means, but continues to be mentally ill 
603  and in need of care and treatment, as defined in s. 945.42, the 
604  warden is authorized to initiate procedures for involuntary 
605  placement pursuant to s. 394.467, 60 days prior to such release. 
606         (2) In addition, the warden may initiate procedures for 
607  involuntary examination pursuant to s. 394.463 for any inmate 
608  who has a mental illness and meets the criteria of s. 
609  394.463(1). 
610         (3)The department may transport an individual who is being 
611  released from its custody to a receiving or treatment facility 
612  for involuntary examination or placement. Such transport shall 
613  be made to a facility that is specified by the Department of 
614  Children and Family Services as able to meet the specific needs 
615  of the individual. If the Department of Children and Family 
616  Services does not specify a facility, transport may be made to 
617  the nearest receiving facility. 
618         Section 17. Section 946.42, Florida Statutes, is created to 
619  read: 
620         946.42Use of inmates on private property.— 
621         (1)The department may allow inmates who meet the criteria

625  of the department. 
626         (b)To assist federal, state, local, and private agencies 
627  before, during, and after emergencies or disasters. 
628         (2)As used in this section, the term: 
629         (a)“Disaster” means any natural, technological, or civil 
630  emergency that causes damage of sufficient severity and 
631  magnitude to result in a declaration of a state of emergency by 
632  a county, the Governor, or the President of the United States. 
633         (b)“Donations” means gifts of tangible personal property 
634  and includes equipment, fixtures, construction materials, food 
635  items, and other tangible personal property of a consumable and 
636  nonconsumable nature. 
637         (c)“Emergency” means any occurrence or threat of an 
638  occurrence, whether natural, technological, or manmade, in war 
639  or in peace, which results or may result in substantial injury 
640  or harm to the population or substantial damage to or loss of 
641  property. 
642         Section 18. Subsection (3) of section 948.001, Florida 
643  Statutes, is repealed. 
644         Section 19. Subsection (1) of section 948.03, Florida

646         948.03 Terms and conditions of probation.— 
647         (1) The court shall determine the terms and conditions of 
648  probation. Conditions specified in this section do not require 
649  oral pronouncement at the time of sentencing and may be 
650  considered standard conditions of probation. These conditions 
651  may include among them the following, that the probationer or 
652  offender in community control shall: 
653         (a) Report to the probation and parole supervisors as 
654  directed.

658  be possible. 
659         (d) Remain within a specified place. 
660         (e)Live without violating any law. A conviction in a court 
661  of law is not necessary for such a violation of law to 
662  constitute a violation of probation, community control, or any 
663  other form of court-ordered supervision. 
664         (f)(e) Make reparation or restitution to the aggrieved 
665  party for the damage or loss caused by his or her offense in an 
666  amount to be determined by the court. The court shall make such 
667  reparation or restitution a condition of probation, unless it 
668  determines that clear and compelling reasons exist to the 
669  contrary. If the court does not order restitution, or orders 
670  restitution of only a portion of the damages, as provided in s. 
671  775.089, it shall state on the record in detail the reasons 
672  therefor. 
673         (g)(f) Effective July 1, 1994, and applicable for offenses

676  951.032 for medical care, treatment, hospitalization, or 
677  transportation received by the felony probationer while in that 
678  detention facility. The court, in determining whether to order 
679  such repayment and the amount of the such repayment, shall 
680  consider the amount of the debt, whether there was any fault of 
681  the institution for the medical expenses incurred, the financial 
682  resources of the felony probationer, the present and potential 
683  future financial needs and earning ability of the probationer, 
684  and dependents, and other appropriate factors. 
685         (h)(g) Support his or her legal dependents to the best of 
686  his or her ability. 
687         (i)(h) Make payment of the debt due and owing to the state 
688  under s. 960.17, subject to modification based on change of 
689  circumstances. 
690         (j)(i) Pay any application fee assessed under s. 
691  27.52(1)(b) and attorney’s fees and costs assessed under s. 
692  938.29, subject to modification based on change of 
693  circumstances. 
694         (k)(j) Not associate with persons engaged in criminal 
695  activities. 
696         (l)(k)1. Submit to random testing as directed by the 
697  correctional probation officer or the professional staff of the 
698  treatment center where he or she is receiving treatment to 
699  determine the presence or use of alcohol or controlled 
700  substances. 
701         2. If the offense was a controlled substance violation and 
702  the period of probation immediately follows a period of 
703  incarceration in the state correction system, the conditions 
704  shall include a requirement that the offender submit to random 
705  substance abuse testing intermittently throughout the term of 
706  supervision, upon the direction of the correctional probation 
707  officer as defined in s. 943.10(3). 
708         (m)(l) Be prohibited from possessing, carrying, or owning 
709  any: 
710         1. Firearm unless authorized by the court and consented to 
711  by the probation officer. 
712         2. Weapon without first procuring the consent of the 
713  correctional probation officer. 
714         (n)(m) Be prohibited from using intoxicants to excess or 
715  possessing any drugs or narcotics unless prescribed by a 
716  physician. The probationer or community controllee shall not 
717  knowingly visit places where intoxicants, drugs, or other 
718  dangerous substances are unlawfully sold, dispensed, or used. 
719         (o)(n) Submit to the drawing of blood or other biological 
720  specimens as prescribed in ss. 943.325 and 948.014, and

722  transmitting the blood or other biological specimens to the 
723  Department of Law Enforcement. 
724         (p)Submit to the taking of a digitized photograph by the 
725  department as a part of the offender’s records. This photograph 
726  may be displayed on the department’s public website while the 
727  offender is under court-ordered supervision. However, the 
728  department may not display the photograph on the website if the 
729  offender is only on pretrial intervention supervision or is an 
730  offender whose identity is exempt from disclosure due to an
