  159         (g)1. Each time a sexual predator’s driver license or

  181  predator resides or is located and provide confirmation that he
  182  or she reported such information to the Department of Highway
  183  Safety and Motor Vehicles. The reporting requirements under this
  184  subparagraph do not negate the requirement for a sexual predator
  185  to obtain a Florida driver license or identification card as
  186  required by this section.
  187         2.a. A sexual predator who vacates a permanent, temporary,

  193  shall specify the date upon which he or she intends to or did
  194  vacate such residence. The sexual predator shall provide or
  195  update all of the registration information required under
  196  paragraph (a). The sexual predator shall provide an address for

  202  within 48 hours after establishing a transient residence and

  204  office in the county in which he or she is located while
  205  maintaining a transient residence. The sexual predator must
  206  provide the addresses and locations where he or she maintains a
  207  transient residence. Each sheriff’s office shall establish
  208  procedures for reporting transient residence information and
  209  provide notice to transient registrants to report transient
  210  residence information as required in this sub-subparagraph.
  211  Reporting to the sheriff’s office as required by this sub
  212  subparagraph does not exempt registrants from any reregistration
  213  requirement. The sheriff may coordinate and enter into
  214  agreements with police departments and other governmental
  215  entities to facilitate additional reporting sites for transient
  216  residence registration required in this sub-subparagraph. The
  217  sheriff’s office shall, within 2 business days, electronically
  218  submit and update all information provided by the sexual
  219  predator to the department.
  220         3. A sexual predator who remains at a permanent, temporary,
  221  or transient residence after reporting his or her intent to
  222  vacate such residence shall, within 48 hours after the date upon
  223  which the predator indicated he or she would or did vacate such
  224  residence, report in person to the sheriff’s office to which he
  225  or she reported pursuant to subparagraph 2. for the purpose of
  226  reporting his or her address at such residence. When the sheriff
  227  receives the report, the sheriff shall promptly convey the
  228  information to the department. An offender who makes a report as
  229  required under subparagraph 2. but fails to make a report as
  230  required under this subparagraph commits a felony of the second
  231  degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s.
  232  775.084.
  233         4. The failure of a sexual predator who maintains a
  234  transient residence to report in person to the sheriff’s office
  235  every 30 days as required by sub-subparagraph 2.b. is punishable
  236  as provided in subsection (10).
  237         5.a. A sexual predator shall register all electronic mail
  238  addresses and Internet identifiers, and each Internet
  239  identifier’s corresponding website homepage or application
  240  software name, with the department through the department’s
  241  online system or in person at the sheriff’s office within 48
  242  hours after using such electronic mail addresses and Internet
  243  identifiers. If the sexual predator is in the custody or
  244  control, or under the supervision, of the Department of
  245  Corrections, he or she must report all electronic mail addresses
  246  and Internet identifiers, and each Internet identifier’s
  247  corresponding website homepage or application software name, to
  248  the Department of Corrections before using such electronic mail
  249  addresses or Internet identifiers. If the sexual predator is in
  250  the custody or control, or under the supervision, of the
  251  Department of Juvenile Justice, he or she must report all
  252  electronic mail addresses and Internet identifiers, and each
  253  Internet identifier’s corresponding website homepage or
  254  application software name, to the Department of Juvenile Justice
  255  before using such electronic mail addresses or Internet
  256  identifiers.
  257         b. A sexual predator shall register all changes to vehicles
  258  owned, all changes to home telephone numbers and cellular
  259  telephone numbers, including added and deleted numbers, all
  260  changes to employment information, and all changes in status
  261  related to enrollment, volunteering, or employment at
  262  institutions of higher education, through the department’s
  263  online system; in person at the sheriff’s office; in person at
  264  the Department of Corrections if the sexual predator is in the
  265  custody or control, or under the supervision, of the Department
  266  of Corrections; or in person at the Department of Juvenile
  267  Justice if the sexual predator is in the custody or control, or
  268  under the supervision, of the Department of Juvenile Justice.
  269  All changes required to be reported in this sub-subparagraph
  270  shall be reported within 48 hours after the change.
  271         c. The department shall establish an online system through
  272  which sexual predators may securely access, submit, and update
  273  all vehicles owned; electronic mail addresses; Internet
  274  identifiers and each Internet identifier’s corresponding website
  275  homepage or application software name; home telephone numbers
  276  and cellular telephone numbers; employment information; and
  277  institution of higher education information.
  278         (i) A sexual predator who intends to establish a permanent,
  279  temporary, or transient residence in another state or
  280  jurisdiction other than the State of Florida or intends to
  281  travel outside of the United States shall report in person to
  282  the sheriff of the county of current residence at least within
  283  48 hours before the date he or she intends to leave this state
  284  to establish residence in another state or jurisdiction or at

  286  intended residence of 5 days or more is outside of the United
  287  States. Any travel that is not known by the sexual predator 48

  289  another state or jurisdiction or 21 days before the departure
  290  date for travel outside of the United States must be reported to
  291  the sheriff’s office as soon as possible before departure. The

  448         (11) Except as provided in s. 943.04354, a sexual offender
  449  shall maintain registration with the department for the duration
  450  of his or her life unless the sexual offender has received a
  451  full pardon or has had a conviction set aside in a
  452  postconviction proceeding for any offense that meets the
  453  criteria for classifying the person as a sexual offender for
  454  purposes of registration. However, a sexual offender shall be
  455  considered for removal of the requirement to register as a
  456  sexual offender only if the person:
  457         (b) Maintains As defined in sub-subparagraph (1)(h)1.b.
  458  must maintain registration with the department as described in
  459  sub-subparagraph (1)(h)1.b. for the duration of his or her life

  461  the court that designated the person as a sexual predator or, as
  462  a sexually violent predator, or any other by another sexual
  463  offender designation in the state or jurisdiction in which the
  464  order was issued which states that such designation has been
  465  removed or demonstrates to the department that such designation,
  466  if not imposed by a court, has been removed by operation of law
  467  or court order in the state or jurisdiction in which the
  468  designation was made, and provided that such person no longer
  469  meets the criteria for registration as a sexual offender under
  470  the laws of this state.
  471         (c)1.Is required to register as a sexual offender solely

  473  a petition in the circuit court in the jurisdiction in which the
  474  person resides or, for a person who no longer resides in this
  475  state, the court in the jurisdiction in which the person last
  476  resided in this state. The petition must assert that his or her
  477  designation as a sexual predator or sexually violent predator or
  478  any other sexual offender designation in the state or
  479  jurisdiction in which the designation was made is confidential
  480  from public disclosure or that such designation, if not imposed
  481  by a court, is considered confidential from public disclosure by
  482  operation of law or court order in the state or jurisdiction in
  483  which the designation was made, provided that such person does
  484  not meet the criteria for registration as a sexual offender
  485  under the laws of this state.
  486         2.If the person meets the criteria in subparagraph 1., the
  487  court may grant the petition and remove the requirement to
  488  register as a sexual offender.
  489         3.A petition under this paragraph must document the
  490  person’s conviction and include a copy of the order issued by
  491  the court in the state or jurisdiction which made the
  492  designation confidential from public disclosure. If such relief
  493  was not granted by court order, the person must demonstrate to
  494  the court that his or her registration requirement has been made
  495  confidential by operation of law in the state or jurisdiction
  496  requiring registration. The state attorney and the department
  497  must be given notice at least 21 days before the date of the
  498  hearing on the petition and may present evidence in opposition
  499  to the requested relief or may otherwise demonstrate why it
  500  should be denied.
  501         4.If a person provides to the department a certified copy
  502  of the circuit court’s order granting the person removal of the
  503  requirement to register as a sexual offender in this state in
  504  accordance with this subparagraph, the registration requirement
  505  does not apply to the person and the department must remove all
  506  information about the person from the public registry of sexual
  507  offenders and sexual predators maintained by the department.
