  531  847.0138; s. 847.0145; s. 895.03, if the court makes a written
  532  finding that the racketeering activity involved at least one
  533  sexual offense listed in this sub-subparagraph or at least one
  534  offense listed in this sub-subparagraph with sexual intent or
  535  motive; s. 916.1075(2); or s. 985.701(1); or any similar offense

  537  former statute number to one of those listed in this sub
  538  subparagraph; or
  539         d. On or after July 1, 2007, has been adjudicated

  557  1.d., the court shall make a written finding of the age of the
  558  offender at the time of the offense.
  559  
  560  For each violation of a qualifying offense listed in this

  568  did not involve unclothed genitals or genital area and that the

  595         Section 8. Paragraph (f) of subsection (1) of section
  596  944.607, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:
  597         944.607 Notification to Department of Law Enforcement of
  598  information on sexual offenders.—
  599         (1) As used in this section, the term:
  600         (f) “Sexual offender” means a person who is in the custody
  601  or control of, or under the supervision of, the department or is
  602  in the custody of a private correctional facility:
  603         1. On or after October 1, 1997, as a result of a conviction
  604  for committing, or attempting, soliciting, or conspiring to
  605  commit, any of the criminal offenses proscribed in the following
  606  statutes in this state or similar offenses in another
  607  jurisdiction: s. 393.135(2); s. 394.4593(2); s. 787.01, s.
  608  787.02, or s. 787.025(2)(c), where the victim is a minor; s.

  612  827.071; s. 827.12; s. 847.0133; s. 847.0135, excluding s.
  613  847.0135(6); s. 847.0137; s. 847.0138; s. 847.0145; s. 895.03,
  614  if the court makes a written finding that the racketeering
  615  activity involved at least one sexual offense listed in this
  616  subparagraph or at least one offense listed in this subparagraph
  617  with sexual intent or motive; s. 916.1075(2); or s. 985.701(1);

  621         2. Who establishes or maintains a residence in this state
  622  and who has not been designated as a sexual predator by a court
  623  of this state but who has been designated as a sexual predator,
  624  as a sexually violent predator, or by another sexual offender
  625  designation in another state or jurisdiction and was, as a
  626  result of such designation, subjected to registration or
  627  community or public notification, or both, or would be if the
  628  person were a resident of that state or jurisdiction, without
  629  regard as to whether the person otherwise meets the criteria for
  630  registration as a sexual offender.
  631         Section 9. For the purpose of incorporating the amendment
  632  made by this act to section 943.0435, Florida Statutes, in
  633  references thereto, paragraph (c) of subsection (2) and
  634  paragraph (c) of subsection (9) of section 61.13, Florida
  635  Statutes, are reenacted to read:
  636         61.13 Support of children; parenting and time-sharing;
  637  powers of court.—
  638         (2)
  639         (c) The court shall determine all matters relating to
  640  parenting and time-sharing of each minor child of the parties in
  641  accordance with the best interests of the child and in
  642  accordance with the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and
  643  Enforcement Act, except that modification of a parenting plan
  644  and time-sharing schedule requires a showing of a substantial
  645  and material change of circumstances.
  646         1. It is the public policy of this state that each minor
  647  child has frequent and continuing contact with both parents
  648  after the parents separate or the marriage of the parties is
  649  dissolved and to encourage parents to share the rights and
  650  responsibilities, and joys, of childrearing. Unless otherwise
  651  provided in this section or agreed to by the parties, there is a
  652  rebuttable presumption that equal time-sharing of a minor child
  653  is in the best interests of the minor child. To rebut this
  654  presumption, a party must prove by a preponderance of the
  655  evidence that equal time-sharing is not in the best interests of
  656  the minor child. Except when a time-sharing schedule is agreed
  657  to by the parties and approved by the court, the court must
  658  evaluate all of the factors set forth in subsection (3) and make
  659  specific written findings of fact when creating or modifying a
  660  time-sharing schedule.
  661         2. The court shall order that the parental responsibility
  662  for a minor child be shared by both parents unless the court
  663  finds that shared parental responsibility would be detrimental
  664  to the child. In determining detriment to the child, the court
  665  shall consider:
  666         a. Evidence of domestic violence, as defined in s. 741.28;
  667         b. Whether either parent has or has had reasonable cause to
  668  believe that he or she or his or her minor child or children are
  669  or have been in imminent danger of becoming victims of an act of
  670  domestic violence as defined in s. 741.28 or sexual violence as
  671  defined in s. 784.046(1)(c) by the other parent against the
  672  parent or against the child or children whom the parents share
  673  in common regardless of whether a cause of action has been
  674  brought or is currently pending in the court;
  675         c. Whether either parent has or has had reasonable cause to
  676  believe that his or her minor child or children are or have been
  677  in imminent danger of becoming victims of an act of abuse as
  678  defined in s. 39.01(2), abandonment as defined in s. 39.01(1),
  679  or neglect as defined in s. 39.01(50) by the other parent
  680  against the child or children whom the parents share in common
  681  regardless of whether a cause of action has been brought or is
  682  currently pending in the court; and
  683         d. Any other relevant factors.
  684         3. The following evidence creates a rebuttable presumption
  685  that shared parental responsibility is detrimental to the child:
  686         a. A parent has been convicted of a misdemeanor of the
  687  first degree or higher involving domestic violence, as defined
  688  in s. 741.28 and chapter 775;
  689         b. A parent meets the criteria of s. 39.806(1)(d); or
  690         c. A parent has been convicted of or had adjudication
  691  withheld for an offense enumerated in s. 943.0435(1)(h)1.a., and
  692  at the time of the offense:
  693         (I) The parent was 18 years of age or older.
  694         (II) The victim was under 18 years of age or the parent
  695  believed the victim to be under 18 years of age.
  696  
  697  If the presumption is not rebutted after the convicted parent is
  698  advised by the court that the presumption exists, shared
  699  parental responsibility, including time-sharing with the child,
  700  and decisions made regarding the child, may not be granted to
  701  the convicted parent. However, the convicted parent is not
  702  relieved of any obligation to provide financial support. If the
  703  court determines that shared parental responsibility would be
  704  detrimental to the child, it may order sole parental
  705  responsibility and make such arrangements for time-sharing as
  706  specified in the parenting plan as will best protect the child
  707  or abused spouse from further harm. Whether or not there is a
  708  conviction of any offense of domestic violence or child abuse or
  709  the existence of an injunction for protection against domestic
  710  violence, the court shall consider evidence of domestic violence
  711  or child abuse as evidence of detriment to the child.
  712         4. In ordering shared parental responsibility, the court
  713  may consider the expressed desires of the parents and may grant
  714  to one party the ultimate responsibility over specific aspects
  715  of the child’s welfare or may divide those responsibilities
  716  between the parties based on the best interests of the child.
  717  Areas of responsibility may include education, health care, and
  718  any other responsibilities that the court finds unique to a
  719  particular family.
  720         5. The court shall order sole parental responsibility for a
  721  minor child to one parent, with or without time-sharing with the
  722  other parent if it is in the best interests of the minor child.
  723         6. There is a rebuttable presumption against granting time
  724  sharing with a minor child if a parent has been convicted of or
  725  had adjudication withheld for an offense enumerated in s.
  726  943.0435(1)(h)1.a., and at the time of the offense:
  727         a. The parent was 18 years of age or older.
  728         b. The victim was under 18 years of age or the parent
  729  believed the victim to be under 18 years of age.
  730  
  731  A parent may rebut the presumption upon a specific finding in
  732  writing by the court that the parent poses no significant risk
  733  of harm to the child and that time-sharing is in the best
  734  interests of the minor child. If the presumption is rebutted,
  735  the court must consider all time-sharing factors in subsection
  736  (3) when developing a time-sharing schedule.
  737         7. Access to records and information pertaining to a minor
  738  child, including, but not limited to, medical, dental, and
  739  school records, may not be denied to either parent. Full rights
  740  under this subparagraph apply to either parent unless a court
  741  order specifically revokes these rights, including any
  742  restrictions on these rights as provided in a domestic violence
  743  injunction. A parent having rights under this subparagraph has
  744  the same rights upon request as to form, substance, and manner
  745  of access as are available to the other parent of a child,
  746  including, without limitation, the right to in-person
  747  communication with medical, dental, and education providers.
  748         (9)
  749         (c) A court may not order visitation at a recovery
  750  residence if any resident of the recovery residence is currently
  751  required to register as a sexual predator under s. 775.21 or as
  752  a sexual offender under s. 943.0435.
  753         Section 10. For the purpose of incorporating the amendment
  754  made by this act to section 943.0435, Florida Statutes, in
  755  references thereto, paragraph (i) of subsection (3) and
  756  subsection (6) of section 68.07, Florida Statutes, are reenacted
  757  to read:
  758         68.07 Change of name.—
  759         (3) Each petition shall be verified and show:
  760         (i) Whether the petitioner has ever been required to
  761  register as a sexual predator under s. 775.21 or as a sexual

 1293  arrested. That court shall advise him or her of the charge of a
 1294  violation and, if such charge is admitted, shall cause him or
 1295  her to be brought before the court that granted the probation or
 1296  community control. If the violation is not admitted by the
 1297  probationer or offender, the court may commit him or her or
 1298  release him or her with or without bail to await further
 1299  hearing. However, if the probationer or offender is under
 1300  supervision for any criminal offense proscribed in chapter 794,

 1306  court must make a finding that the probationer or offender is
 1307  not a danger to the public prior to release with or without
 1308  bail. In determining the danger posed by the offender’s or
 1309  probationer’s release, the court may consider the nature and
 1310  circumstances of the violation and any new offenses charged; the
 1311  offender’s or probationer’s past and present conduct, including
 1312  convictions of crimes; any record of arrests without conviction
 1313  for crimes involving violence or sexual crimes; any other
 1314  evidence of allegations of unlawful sexual conduct or the use of
 1315  violence by the offender or probationer; the offender’s or
 1316  probationer’s family ties, length of residence in the community,
 1317  employment history, and mental condition; his or her history and
 1318  conduct during the probation or community control supervision
 1319  from which the violation arises and any other previous
 1320  supervisions, including disciplinary records of previous
 1321  incarcerations; the likelihood that the offender or probationer
 1322  will engage again in a criminal course of conduct; the weight of
 1323  the evidence against the offender or probationer; and any other
 1324  facts the court considers relevant. The court, as soon as is
 1325  practicable, shall give the probationer or offender an
 1326  opportunity to be fully heard on his or her behalf in person or
 1327  by counsel. After the hearing, the court shall make findings of
 1328  fact and forward the findings to the court that granted the
 1329  probation or community control and to the probationer or
 1330  offender or his or her attorney. The findings of fact by the
 1331  hearing court are binding on the court that granted the
 1332  probation or community control. Upon the probationer or offender
 1333  being brought before it, the court that granted the probation or
 1334  community control may revoke, modify, or continue the probation
 1335  or community control or may place the probationer into community
 1336  control as provided in this section. However, the probationer or
 1337  offender shall not be released and shall not be admitted to
 1338  bail, but shall be brought before the court that granted the
 1339  probation or community control if any violation of felony
 1340  probation or community control other than a failure to pay costs
 1341  or fines or make restitution payments is alleged to have been
 1342  committed by:
 1343         (a) A violent felony offender of special concern, as
 1344  defined in this section;
 1345         (b) A person who is on felony probation or community

 1347  of this act and who is arrested for a qualifying offense as
 1348  defined in this section; or
 1349         (c) A person who is on felony probation or community
 1350  control and has previously been found by a court to be a
 1351  habitual violent felony offender as defined in s. 775.084(1)(b),
 1352  a three-time violent felony offender as defined in s.
 1353  775.084(1)(c), or a sexual predator under s. 775.21, and who is
 1354  arrested for committing a qualifying offense as defined in this
 1355  section on or after the effective date of this act.

 1469  subsection (2), a sexual offender shall report in person at a
 1470  driver license office of the Department of Highway Safety and
 1471  Motor Vehicles, unless a driver license or identification card
 1472  that complies with the requirements of s. 322.141(3) was
 1473  previously secured or updated under s. 944.607. At the driver
 1474  license office the sexual offender shall:
 1475         (a) If otherwise qualified, secure a Florida driver
 1476  license, renew a Florida driver license, or secure an

 1493  including a set of fingerprints.
 1494         (4)(a) Each time a sexual offender’s driver license or
 1495  identification card is subject to renewal, and, without regard
 1496  to the status of the offender’s driver license or identification
 1497  card, within 48 hours after any change in the offender’s

 1517  where the offender resides or is located and provide
 1518  confirmation that he or she reported such information to the
 1519  Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. The reporting
 1520  requirements under this paragraph do not negate the requirement

 1522  identification card as required in this section.

 1567  thereafter obtain a replacement license or card that reflects
 1568  the change.
 1569         (2) If a person, after applying for or receiving a driver

 1711  s. 775.21 or who is required to register as a sexual offender

 1714  or as a sexual offender under s. 943.0435 or s. 944.607, the

 1718         Section 42. For the purpose of incorporating the amendments
 1719  made by this act to sections 943.0435 and 944.607, Florida
 1720  Statutes, in references thereto, subsection (4) of section
 1721  948.06, Florida Statutes, is reenacted to read:
 1722         948.06 Violation of probation or community control;
 1723  revocation; modification; continuance; failure to pay
 1724  restitution or cost of supervision.—
 1725         (4) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, a
 1726  felony probationer or an offender in community control who is
 1727  arrested for violating his or her probation or community control
 1728  in a material respect may be taken before the court in the
 1729  county or circuit in which the probationer or offender was
 1730  arrested. That court shall advise him or her of the charge of a
 1731  violation and, if such charge is admitted, shall cause him or
 1732  her to be brought before the court that granted the probation or
 1733  community control. If the violation is not admitted by the
 1734  probationer or offender, the court may commit him or her or
 1735  release him or her with or without bail to await further
 1736  hearing. However, if the probationer or offender is under
 1737  supervision for any criminal offense proscribed in chapter 794,
 1738  s. 800.04(4), (5), (6), s. 827.071, or s. 847.0145, or is a
 1739  registered sexual predator or a registered sexual offender, or
 1740  is under supervision for a criminal offense for which he or she
 1741  would meet the registration criteria in s. 775.21, s. 943.0435,
 1742  or s. 944.607 but for the effective date of those sections, the
 1743  court must make a finding that the probationer or offender is
 1744  not a danger to the public prior to release with or without
 1745  bail. In determining the danger posed by the offender’s or
 1746  probationer’s release, the court may consider the nature and
 1747  circumstances of the violation and any new offenses charged; the
 1748  offender’s or probationer’s past and present conduct, including
 1749  convictions of crimes; any record of arrests without conviction
 1750  for crimes involving violence or sexual crimes; any other
 1751  evidence of allegations of unlawful sexual conduct or the use of
 1752  violence by the offender or probationer; the offender’s or
 1753  probationer’s family ties, length of residence in the community,
 1754  employment history, and mental condition; his or her history and
 1755  conduct during the probation or community control supervision
 1756  from which the violation arises and any other previous
 1757  supervisions, including disciplinary records of previous
 1758  incarcerations; the likelihood that the offender or probationer
 1759  will engage again in a criminal course of conduct; the weight of
 1760  the evidence against the offender or probationer; and any other
 1761  facts the court considers relevant. The court, as soon as is
 1762  practicable, shall give the probationer or offender an
 1763  opportunity to be fully heard on his or her behalf in person or
 1764  by counsel. After the hearing, the court shall make findings of
 1765  fact and forward the findings to the court that granted the
 1766  probation or community control and to the probationer or
 1767  offender or his or her attorney. The findings of fact by the
 1768  hearing court are binding on the court that granted the
 1769  probation or community control. Upon the probationer or offender
 1770  being brought before it, the court that granted the probation or
 1771  community control may revoke, modify, or continue the probation
 1772  or community control or may place the probationer into community
 1773  control as provided in this section. However, the probationer or
 1774  offender shall not be released and shall not be admitted to
 1775  bail, but shall be brought before the court that granted the
 1776  probation or community control if any violation of felony
 1777  probation or community control other than a failure to pay costs
 1778  or fines or make restitution payments is alleged to have been
 1779  committed by:
 1780         (a) A violent felony offender of special concern, as
 1781  defined in this section;
 1782         (b) A person who is on felony probation or community
 1783  control for any offense committed on or after the effective date
 1784  of this act and who is arrested for a qualifying offense as
 1785  defined in this section; or
 1786         (c) A person who is on felony probation or community
 1787  control and has previously been found by a court to be a
 1788  habitual violent felony offender as defined in s. 775.084(1)(b),
 1789  a three-time violent felony offender as defined in s.
 1790  775.084(1)(c), or a sexual predator under s. 775.21, and who is
 1791  arrested for committing a qualifying offense as defined in this
 1792  section on or after the effective date of this act.

 1794  made by this act to sections 943.0435 and 944.607, Florida

 1800  offense is revoked by the court pursuant to s. 948.06(2)(e) and
 1801  the offender is designated as a sexual offender pursuant to s.
 1802  943.0435 or s. 944.607 or as a sexual predator pursuant to s.
 1803  775.21 for unlawful sexual activity involving a victim 15 years
 1804  of age or younger and the offender is 18 years of age or older,
 1805  and if the court imposes a subsequent term of supervision
 1806  following the revocation of probation or community control, the
 1807  court must order electronic monitoring as a condition of the
 1808  subsequent term of probation or community control.
 1809         (2) If the probationer or offender is required to register
 1810  as a sexual predator under s. 775.21 or as a sexual offender
 1811  under s. 943.0435 or s. 944.607 for unlawful sexual activity
 1812  involving a victim 15 years of age or younger and the
 1813  probationer or offender is 18 years of age or older and has
 1814  violated the conditions of his or her probation or community
 1815  control, but the court does not revoke the probation or
 1816  community control, the court shall nevertheless modify the
 1817  probation or community control to include electronic monitoring
