If the primary offense is a violation of s. 975 775.0823(5), (6), (7), (8), or (9), the subtotal sentence points 976 are multiplied by 2.0. If the primary offense is a violation of 977 s. 784.07(3) or s. 775.0875(1), or of the Law Enforcement 978 Protection Act under s. 775.0823(10) or (11), the subtotal 979 sentence points are multiplied by 1.5. 980 981 Grand theft of a motor vehicle: If the primary offense is grand 982 theft of the third degree involving a motor vehicle and in the 983 offenders prior record, there are three or more grand thefts of 984 the third degree involving a motor vehicle, the subtotal 985 sentence points are multiplied by 1.5. 986 987 Offense related to a criminal gang: If the offender is convicted 988 of the primary offense and committed that offense for the 989 purpose of benefiting, promoting, or furthering the interests of 990 a criminal gang as defined in s. 874.03, the subtotal sentence 991 points are multiplied by 1.5.

If applying the multiplier results in the 1017 lowest permissible sentence exceeding the statutory maximum 1018 sentence for the primary offense under chapter 775, the court 1019 may not apply the multiplier and must sentence the defendant to 1020 the statutory maximum sentence. 1021 (2)The lowest permissible sentence is the minimum sentence 1022 that may be imposed by the trial court, absent a valid reason 1023 for departure. The lowest permissible sentence is any nonstate 1024 prison sanction in which the total sentence points equals or is 1025 less than 44 points, unless the court determines within its 1026 discretion that a prison sentence, which may be up to the 1027 statutory maximums for the offenses committed, is appropriate. 1028 When the total sentence points exceeds 44 points, the lowest 1029 permissible sentence in prison months shall be calculated by 1030 subtracting 28 points from the total sentence points and 1031 decreasing the remaining total by 25 percent. The total sentence 1032 points shall be calculated only as a means of determining the 1033 lowest permissible sentence.

A 1376 sentence imposed outside of the code is subject to appeal 1377 pursuant to s. 924.06 or s. 924.07. 1378 Section 22.Subsection (4) of section 985.465, Florida 1379 Statutes, is amended to read: 1380 985.465Juvenile correctional facilities or juvenile 1381 prison.A juvenile correctional facility or juvenile prison is a 1382 physically secure residential commitment program with a 1383 designated length of stay from 18 months to 36 months, primarily 1384 serving children 13 years of age to 19 years of age or until the 1385 jurisdiction of the court expires. Each child committed to this 1386 level must meet one of the following criteria: 1387 (4)The child is at least 13 years of age at the time of 1388 the disposition for the current offense, the child is eligible 1389 for prosecution as an adult for the current offense, and the 1390 current offense is ranked at level 7 or higher on the Criminal 1391 Public Safety Punishment Code offense severity ranking chart 1392 pursuant to s. 921.0022. 1393 Section 23.Section 921.002, Florida Statutes, is amended 1394 to read: 1395 921.002The Criminal Public Safety Punishment Code.The 1396 Criminal Public Safety Punishment Code shall apply to all felony 1397 offenses, except capital felonies, committed on or after October 1398 1, 1998. 1399 (1)The provision of criminal penalties and of limitations 1400 upon the application of such penalties is a matter of 1401 predominantly substantive law and, as such, is a matter properly 1402 addressed by the Legislature. The Legislature, in the exercise 1403 of its authority and responsibility to establish sentencing 1404 criteria, to provide for the imposition of criminal penalties, 1405 and to make the best use of state prisons so that violent 1406 criminal offenders are appropriately incarcerated, has 1407 determined that it is in the best interest of the state to 1408 develop, implement, and revise a sentencing policy. The Criminal 1409 Public Safety Punishment Code embodies the principles that: 1410 (a)Sentencing is neutral with respect to race, gender, and 1411 social and economic status. 1412 (b)The primary purpose of sentencing is to punish the 1413 offender. Rehabilitation is a desired goal of the criminal 1414 justice system but is subordinate to the goal of public safety 1415 punishment. 1416 (c)The penalty imposed is commensurate with the severity 1417 of the primary offense and the circumstances surrounding the 1418 primary offense. 1419 (d)The severity of the sentence increases with the length 1420 and nature of the offenders prior record. 1421 (e)The sentence imposed by the sentencing judge reflects 1422 the length of actual time to be served, shortened only by the 1423 application of incentive and meritorious gain-time as provided 1424 by law, and may not be shortened if the defendant would 1425 consequently serve less than 85 percent of his or her term of 1426 imprisonment as provided in s. 944.275(4). The provisions of 1427 chapter 947, relating to parole, shall not apply to persons 1428 sentenced under the Criminal Public Safety Punishment Code. 1429 (f)Departures below the lowest permissible sentence 1430 established by the code must be articulated in writing by the 1431 trial court judge and made only when circumstances or factors 1432 reasonably justify the mitigation of the sentence. The level of 1433 proof necessary to establish facts that support a departure from 1434 the lowest permissible sentence is a preponderance of the 1435 evidence. 1436 (g)The trial court judge may impose a sentence up to and 1437 including the statutory maximum for any offense, including an 1438 offense that is before the court due to a violation of probation 1439 or community control. 1440 (h)A sentence may be appealed on the basis that it departs 1441 from the Criminal Public Safety Punishment Code only if the 1442 sentence is below the lowest permissible sentence or as 1443 enumerated in s. 924.06(1). 1444 (i)Use of incarcerative sanctions is prioritized toward 1445 offenders convicted of serious offenses and certain offenders 1446 who have long prior records, in order to maximize the finite 1447 capacities of state and local correctional facilities. 1448 (2)When a defendant is before the court for sentencing for 1449 more than one felony and the felonies were committed under more 1450 than one version or revision of the former sentencing guidelines 1451 or the code, each felony shall be sentenced under the guidelines 1452 or the code in effect at the time the particular felony was 1453 committed. This subsection does not apply to sentencing for any 1454 capital felony. 1455 (3)A court may impose a departure below the lowest 1456 permissible sentence based upon circumstances or factors that 1457 reasonably justify the mitigation of the sentence in accordance 1458 with s. 921.0026. The level of proof necessary to establish 1459 facts supporting the mitigation of a sentence is a preponderance 1460 of the evidence. When multiple reasons exist to support the 1461 mitigation, the mitigation shall be upheld when at least one 1462 circumstance or factor justifies the mitigation regardless of 1463 the presence of other circumstances or factors found not to 1464 justify mitigation. Any sentence imposed below the lowest 1465 permissible sentence must be explained in writing by the trial 1466 court judge. 1467 (4)(a)The Department of Corrections shall report on trends 1468 in sentencing practices and sentencing score thresholds and 1469 provide an analysis on the sentencing factors considered by the 1470 courts and shall submit this information to the Legislature by 1471 October 1 of each year. 1472 (b)The Criminal Justice Estimating Conference, with the 1473 assistance of the Department of Corrections, shall estimate the 1474 impact of any proposed change to the Criminal Public Safety 1475 Punishment Code on future rates of incarceration and on the 1476 prison population. The Criminal Justice Estimating Conference 1477 shall base its projections on historical data concerning 1478 sentencing practices which have been accumulated by the 1479 Department of Corrections and other relevant data from other 1480 state agencies and records of the Department of Corrections 1481 which disclose the average time served for offenses covered by 1482 any proposed changes to the Criminal Public Safety Punishment 1483 Code. 1484 (c)In order to produce projects that are either required 1485 by law or requested by the Legislature to assist the Legislature 1486 in making modifications to the Criminal Public Safety Punishment 1487 Code, the Department of Corrections is authorized to collect and 1488 evaluate Criminal Public Safety Punishment Code scoresheets from 1489 each of the judicial circuits after sentencing. Beginning in 1490 1999, by October 1 of each year, the Department of Corrections 1491 shall provide an annual report to the Legislature that shows the 1492 rate of compliance of each judicial circuit in providing 1493 scoresheets to the department. 1494 Section 24.Subsection (2) of section 893.20, Florida 1495 Statutes, is amended to read: 1496 893.20Continuing criminal enterprise. 1497 (2)A person who commits the offense of engaging in a 1498 continuing criminal enterprise commits is guilty of a life 1499 felony, punishable pursuant to the Criminal Public Safety 1500 Punishment Code and by a fine of $500,000. 1501 Section 25.This act shall take effect July 1, 2022.
