63	(4)  SEXUAL PREDATOR CRITERIA.-
64	(c)  If an offender has been registered as a sexual
65	predator by the Department of Corrections, the department, or
66	any other law enforcement agency and if:
67	1.  The court did not, for whatever reason, make a written
68	finding at the time of sentencing that the offender was a sexual
69	predator; or
70	2.  The offender was administratively registered as a
71	sexual predator because the Department of Corrections, the
72	department, or any other law enforcement agency obtained
73	information that indicated that the offender met the criteria
74	for designation as a sexual predator based on a violation of a
75	similar law in another jurisdiction,
76
77	the department shall remove that offender from the department's
78	list of sexual predators and, for an offender described under
79	subparagraph 1., shall notify the state attorney who prosecuted
80	the offense that met the criteria for administrative designation
81	as a sexual predator, and, for an offender described under this
82	paragraph, shall notify the state attorney of the county where
83	the offender establishes or maintains a permanent or, temporary,
84	or transient residence or homelessness status. The state
85	attorney shall bring the matter to the court's attention in
86	order to establish that the offender meets the criteria for
87	designation as a sexual predator. If the court makes a written
88	finding that the offender is a sexual predator, the offender
89	must be designated as a sexual predator, must register or be
90	registered as a sexual predator with the department as provided
91	in subsection (6), and is subject to the community and public
92	notification as provided in subsection (7). If the court does
93	not make a written finding that the offender is a sexual
94	predator, the offender may not be designated as a sexual
95	predator with respect to that offense and is not required to
96	register or be registered as a sexual predator with the
97	department.
98	(5)  SEXUAL PREDATOR DESIGNATION.-An offender is designated
99	as a sexual predator as follows:
100	(a)1.  An offender who meets the sexual predator criteria
101	described in paragraph (4)(d) is a sexual predator, and the
102	court shall make a written finding at the time such offender is
103	determined to be a sexually violent predator under chapter 394
104	that such person meets the criteria for designation as a sexual
105	predator for purposes of this section. The clerk shall transmit
106	a copy of the order containing the written finding to the
107	department within 48 hours after the entry of the order;
108	2.  An offender who meets the sexual predator criteria
109	described in paragraph (4)(a) who is before the court for
110	sentencing for a current offense committed on or after October
111	1, 1993, is a sexual predator, and the sentencing court must
112	make a written finding at the time of sentencing that the
113	offender is a sexual predator, and the clerk of the court shall
114	transmit a copy of the order containing the written finding to
115	the department within 48 hours after the entry of the order; or
116	3.  If the Department of Corrections, the department, or
117	any other law enforcement agency obtains information which
118	indicates that an offender who establishes or maintains a
119	permanent or, temporary, or transient residence or homelessness
120	status in this state meets the sexual predator criteria
121	described in paragraph (4)(a) or paragraph (4)(d) because the
122	offender was civilly committed or committed a similar violation
123	in another jurisdiction on or after October 1, 1993, the
124	Department of Corrections, the department, or the law
125	enforcement agency shall notify the state attorney of the county
126	where the offender establishes or maintains a permanent or,
127	temporary, or transient residence or homelessness status of the
128	offender's presence in the community. The state attorney shall
129	file a petition with the criminal division of the circuit court
130	for the purpose of holding a hearing to determine if the
131	offender's criminal record or record of civil commitment from
132	another jurisdiction meets the sexual predator criteria. If the
133	court finds that the offender meets the sexual predator criteria
134	because the offender has violated a similar law or similar laws
135	in another jurisdiction, the court shall make a written finding
136	that the offender is a sexual predator.
137
138	When the court makes a written finding that an offender is a
139	sexual predator, the court shall inform the sexual predator of
140	the registration and community and public notification
141	requirements described in this section. Within 48 hours after
142	the court designating an offender as a sexual predator, the
143	clerk of the circuit court shall transmit a copy of the court's
144	written sexual predator finding to the department. If the
145	offender is sentenced to a term of imprisonment or supervision,
146	a copy of the court's written sexual predator finding must be
147	submitted to the Department of Corrections.

272	seeking shelter, report in person to the sheriff's office of the
273	county in which he or she is located. A sexual predator who

291	sheriff's office to which he or she reported pursuant to

293	at such residence. A sexual predator who fails to update this
294	registration on monthly basis as required in subparagraph 2.
295	violates this registration requirement. This registration is in
296	addition to any other registration mandated by this section. If
297	the predator claims to be homeless but actually has a residence
298	or place to live, he or she commits a violation of this section.
299	When the sheriff receives the report, the sheriff shall promptly
300	convey the information to the department. An offender who makes
301	a report as required under subparagraph 2. but fails to make a
302	report as required under this subparagraph commits a felony of
303	the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s.

305	4.  A sexual predator must register any electronic mail
306	address or instant message name with the department prior to
307	using such electronic mail address or instant message name on or

309	system through which sexual predators may securely access and
310	update all electronic mail address and instant message name
311	information.
312	(i)  A sexual predator who intends to establish a permanent
313	or, temporary, or transient residence or homelessness status in
314	another state or jurisdiction other than the State of Florida
315	shall report in person to the sheriff of the county of current
316	residence within 48 hours before the date he or she intends to
317	leave this state to establish residence in another state or
318	jurisdiction. The sexual predator must provide to the sheriff
319	the address, municipality, county, and state of intended
320	residence. The sheriff shall promptly provide to the department
321	the information received from the sexual predator. The
322	department shall notify the statewide law enforcement agency, or
323	a comparable agency, in the intended state or jurisdiction of
324	residence of the sexual predator's intended residence. The
325	failure of a sexual predator to provide his or her intended
326	place of residence is punishable as provided in subsection (10).
327	(j)  A sexual predator who indicates his or her intent to
328	establish a permanent or, temporary, or transient residence or
329	homelessness status in another state or jurisdiction other than
330	the State of Florida and later decides to remain in this state
331	shall, within 48 hours after the date upon which the sexual
332	predator indicated he or she would leave this state, report in
333	person to the sheriff to which the sexual predator reported the
334	intended change of residence, and report his or her intent to
335	remain in this state. If the sheriff is notified by the sexual
336	predator that he or she intends to remain in this state, the
337	sheriff shall promptly report this information to the
338	department. A sexual predator who reports his or her intent to
339	establish a permanent or, temporary, or transient residence or
340	homelessness status in another state or jurisdiction, but who
341	remains in this state without reporting to the sheriff in the
342	manner required by this paragraph, commits a felony of the
343	second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083,
344	or s. 775.084.
345	(7)  COMMUNITY AND PUBLIC NOTIFICATION.-
346	(a)  Law enforcement agencies must inform members of the
347	community and the public of a sexual predator's presence. Upon
348	notification of the presence of a sexual predator, the sheriff
349	of the county or the chief of police of the municipality where
350	the sexual predator establishes or maintains a permanent or
351	temporary residence shall notify members of the community and
352	the public of the presence of the sexual predator in a manner
353	deemed appropriate by the sheriff or the chief of police. Within
354	48 hours after receiving notification of the presence of a

356	police of the municipality where the sexual predator temporarily
357	or permanently resides shall notify each licensed child care
358	facility, elementary school, middle school, and high school

603	promptly provide to the department the information received from
604	the sexual offender. The department shall notify the statewide
605	law enforcement agency, or a comparable agency, in the intended
606	state or jurisdiction of residence or homelessness status of the
607	sexual offender's intended residence, specific sleeping
608	location, or location where he or she is seeking shelter. The
609	failure of a sexual offender to provide his or her intended
610	place of residence, specific sleeping location, or location
611	where he or she is seeking shelter is punishable as provided in
612	subsection (9).
613	(8)  A sexual offender who indicates his or her intent to
614	establish a permanent or, temporary, or transient residence or

625	transient residence or homelessness status in another state or
626	jurisdiction but who remains in this state without reporting to
627	the sheriff in the manner required by this subsection commits a
628	felony of the second degree, punishable as provided in s.
629	775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.
630	(10)  The department, the Department of Highway Safety and

632	Juvenile Justice, any law enforcement agency in this state, and
633	the personnel of those departments; an elected or appointed
