33 conviction or a prior withheld adjudication of a sexual offense
34 listed in s. 943.0435(1)(a)1.a.(I), or s. 775.21(4)(a). A

37 may be sentenced to the statutory maximum term of imprisonment
38 in addition to the mandatory 10-year sex offender supervision
39 term. Persons sentenced under this subsection shall have

42 Section 2. Subsection (1) of section 948.012, Florida

53 specified period of such sentence which may include a term of
54 years or less. In such case, the court shall stay and withhold
55 the imposition of the remainder of sentence imposed upon the
56 defendant and direct that the defendant be placed upon probation
57 or into community control after serving such period as may be
58 imposed by the court. Except as provided in subsection (7) (6),
59 the period of probation or community control shall commence
60 immediately upon the release of the defendant from
61 incarceration, whether by parole or gain-time allowances.
62 (6) If a defendant is convicted of a sexual offense listed

64 after October 1, 2015 and has a prior conviction or a prior
65 withheld adjudication of a sexual offense listed in s.
66 775.21(4)(a) or s. 943.0435(1)(a)1.a.(I), if the court imposes a
67 term of imprisonment, the court shall impose a split sentence
68 followed by a mandatory 10-year sex offender supervision term.
69 Persons sentenced under this section may be sentenced to the
70 statutory maximum term of imprisonment in addition to the
71 mandatory 10-year sex offender supervision term. Persons
72 sentenced under this subsection shall have electronic monitoring
73 imposed as a condition of supervision for the entire term of
74 supervision.
75 Section 3. Present subsections (2) and (3) of section
76 948.04, Florida Statutes, are redesignated as subsections (3)
77 and (4), respectively, and subsection (2) is added to that
78 section, to read:

82 listed in s. 775.21(4)(a) or s. 943.0435(1)(a)1.a.(I), on or
83 after October 1, 2015, if the person is sentenced to a term of
84 supervision and has a prior conviction or a prior adjudication
85 withheld for a sexual offense listed in s. 775.21(4)(a) or s.
86 943.0435(1)(a)1.a.(I), the court shall impose a mandatory
