It is further the intent of the Legislature 1912 that the fees in this section are prescribed for the purpose of 1913 providing counsel with notice of the limit on the amount of 1914 compensation for representation in particular proceedings and 1915 the sole procedure and requirements for obtaining payment for 1916 the same. 1917 (a) If court-appointed counsel moves to withdraw prior to 1918 the full performance of his or her duties through the completion 1919 of the case, the court shall presume that the attorney is not 1920 entitled to the payment of the full flat fee established under 1921 this section and the General Appropriations Act. 1922 (b) If court-appointed counsel is allowed to withdraw from 1923 representation prior to the full performance of his or her 1924 duties through the completion of the case and the court appoints 1925 a subsequent attorney, the total compensation for the initial 1926 and any and all subsequent attorneys may not exceed the flat fee 1927 established under this section and the General Appropriations 1928 Act, except as provided in subsection (12). 1929 1930 This subsection constitutes notice to any subsequently appointed 1931 attorney that he or she will not be compensated the full flat 1932 fee. 1933 (12) The Legislature recognizes that on rare occasions an 1934 attorney may receive a case that requires extraordinary and 1935 unusual effort. 1936 (a) If counsel seeks compensation that exceeds the limits 1937 prescribed by law, he or she must file a motion with the chief 1938 judge for an order approving payment of attorney fees in excess 1939 of these limits. 1940 1. Before filing the motion, the counsel shall deliver a 1941 copy of the intended billing, together with supporting 1942 affidavits and all other necessary documentation, to the Justice 1943 Administrative Commission. 1944 2. The Justice Administrative Commission shall review the 1945 billings, affidavit, and documentation for completeness and 1946 compliance with contractual and statutory requirements and shall 1947 contemporaneously document such review before authorizing 1948 payment to an attorney. If the Justice Administrative Commission 1949 objects to any portion of the proposed billing, the objection 1950 and supporting reasons must be communicated in writing to the 1951 private court-appointed counsel. The counsel may thereafter file 1952 his or her motion, which must specify whether the commission 1953 objects to any portion of the billing or the sufficiency of 1954 documentation, and shall attach the commission’s letter stating 1955 its objection. 1956 (b) Following receipt of the motion to exceed the fee 1957 limits, the chief judge or a single designee shall hold an 1958 evidentiary hearing. The chief judge may select only one judge 1959 per circuit to hear and determine motions pursuant to this 1960 subsection, except multicounty circuits and the eleventh circuit 1961 may have up to two designees. 1962 1. At the hearing, the attorney seeking compensation must 1963 prove by competent and substantial evidence that the case 1964 required extraordinary and unusual efforts. The chief judge or 1965 single designee shall consider criteria such as the number of 1966 witnesses, the complexity of the factual and legal issues, and 1967 the length of trial. The fact that a trial was conducted in a 1968 case does not, by itself, constitute competent substantial 1969 evidence of an extraordinary and unusual effort. In a criminal 1970 case, relief under this section may not be granted if the number 1971 of work hours does not exceed 75 or the number of the state’s 1972 witnesses deposed does not exceed 20. 1973 2. Objections by or on behalf of the Justice Administrative 1974 Commission to records or documents or to claims for payment by 1975 the attorney shall be presumed correct by the court unless the 1976 court determines, in writing, that competent and substantial 1977 evidence exists to justify overcoming the presumption. The chief 1978 judge or single designee shall enter a written order detailing 1979 his or her findings and identifying the extraordinary nature of 1980 the time and efforts of the attorney in the case which warrant 1981 exceeding the flat fee established by this section and the 1982 General Appropriations Act. 1983 (c) A copy of the motion and attachments shall be served on 1984 the Justice Administrative Commission at least 205business 1985 days before the date of a hearing. The Justice Administrative 1986 Commission has standing to appear before the court, and may 1987 appear in person or telephonically, including at the hearing 1988 under paragraph (b), to contest any motion for an order 1989 approving payment of attorney fees, costs, or related expenses 1990 and may participate in a hearing on the motion by use of 1991 telephonic or other communication equipment. The Justice 1992 Administrative Commission may contract with other public or 1993 private entities or individuals to appear before the court for 1994 the purpose of contesting any motion for an order approving 1995 payment of attorney fees, costs, or related expenses. The fact 1996 that the Justice Administrative Commission has not objected to 1997 any portion of the billing or to the sufficiency of the 1998 documentation is not binding on the court. 1999 (d) If the chief judge or a single designee finds that 2000 counsel has proved by competent and substantial evidence that 2001 the case required extraordinary and unusual efforts, the chief 2002 judge or single designee shall order the compensation to be paid 2003 to the attorney at a percentage above the flat fee rate, 2004 depending on the extent of the unusual and extraordinary effort 2005 required. The percentage must be only the rate necessary to 2006 ensure that the fees paid are not confiscatory under common law. 2007 The percentage may not exceed 200 percent of the established 2008 flat fee, absent a specific finding that 200 percent of the flat 2009 fee in the case would be confiscatory. If the chief judge or 2010 single designee determines that 200 percent of the flat fee 2011 would be confiscatory, he or she shall order the amount of 2012 compensation using an hourly rate not to exceed $75 per hour for 2013 a noncapital case and $100 per hour for a capital case. However, 2014 the compensation calculated by using the hourly rate shall be 2015 only that amount necessary to ensure that the total fees paid 2016 are not confiscatory, subject to the requirements of s. 2017 27.40(7). 2018 (e) Any order granting relief under this subsection must be 2019 attached to the final request for a payment submitted to the 2020 Justice Administrative Commission and must satisfy the 2021 requirements of subparagraph (b)2. 2022 (13) Notwithstanding the limitation set forth in subsection 2023 (5) and for the 2019-20202018-2019fiscal year only, the 2024 compensation for representation in a criminal proceeding may not 2025 exceed the following: 2026 (a) For misdemeanors and juveniles represented at the trial 2027 level: $1,000. 2028 (b) For noncapital, nonlife felonies represented at the 2029 trial level: $15,000. 2030 (c) For life felonies represented at the trial level: 2031 $15,000. 2032 (d) For capital cases represented at the trial level: 2033 $25,000. For purposes of this paragraph, a “capital case” is any 2034 offense for which the potential sentence is death and the state 2035 has not waived seeking the death penalty. 2036 (e) For representation on appeal: $9,000. 2037 (f) This subsection expires July 1, 20202019. 2038 Section 48.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this 3263 act and except for this section, which shall take effect upon 3264 this act becoming a law, this act shall take effect July 1, 3265 2019; or, if this act fails to become a law until after that 3266 date, it shall take effect upon becoming a law and shall operate 3267 retroactively to July 1, 2019.
