RECENT RELEASES - FLORIDA SUPREME COURT

RULES OF JUVENILE PROCEDURE--AMENDMENT. In response to recent legislation, the Court adopted amendments to Florida Rule of Juvenile Procedure 8.013 (Detention Petition and Order) and to Florida Rules of Juvenile Procedure Forms 8.929 (Detention Order) and 8.947 (Disposition Order--Delinquency). A new subdivision (d) was added to rule 8.013. This new subdivision "states the procedure for filing a motion to release a juvenile for whom probable cause was found for one or more of the offenses listed in section 985.255, Florida Statutes, and it articulates the required contents of an order releasing a child from secure detention. Rule 8.013 is further amended to require that reasonable notice must be given to the opposing party whenever a party files a motion to extend detention." Form 8.929 was amended to include entries reflecting mandatory punishments for certain offenses (including firearm offenses), allow imposition of electronic monitoring for probation violations, and require that "youths arrested for certain electronic monitoring violations be placed in secure detention until a detention hearing." Amendments to form 8.947 "address new statutory provisions that eliminate minimum-risk nonresidential commitment programs, replace non-secure residential commitment programs with moderate-risk residential commitment programs, allow courts to commit children to moderate-risk residential commitment programs in cases that involve possession of firearm charges, remove references to post-commitment probation, specify conditions of release from commitment programs, increase the number of days children can serve in secure detention, permit credit for time served, and specify additional punishments and conditions relevant to releasing children from secure detention in cases involving firearm offenses."
