Here is a map of where Jessica's Law or some form thereof is implemented:

Legend:

Yellow - States heading in the wrong direction
Dark Blue States heading in the right direction

Black - Partial Jessica's Law passed

Map by Bill O'Reilly

There is NO EXCUSES for this law NOT being in EVERY single state. Time to thumbscrew the worthless self-serving politicans that won't support it.

Be sure to visit the Jessica Marie Lunsford Foundation and show your support.

Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Florida:
Section 1. This act may be cited as the "Jessica Lunsford Act."
Section 2. Paragraph (a) of subsection (5) of section 216.136, Florida
Statutes, is amended to read:
216.136 Consensus estimating conferences; duties and principals.--
(5) CRIMINAL JUSTICE ESTIMATING CONFERENCE.--
(a) Duties.--The Criminal Justice Estimating Conference shall:
1. Develop such official information relating to the criminal justice sys-
tem, including forecasts of prison admissions and population and of super-
vised felony offender admissions and population, as the conference deter-
mines is needed for the state planning and budgeting system.
2. Develop such official information relating to the number of eligible
discharges and the projected number of civil commitments for determining
space needs pursuant to the civil proceedings provided under part V of
chapter 394.
3. Develop official information relating to the number of sexual offenders
and sexual predators who are required by law to be placed on community
control, probation, or conditional release who are subject to electronic moni-
toring. In addition, the Office of Economic and Demographic Research shall
study the factors relating to the sentencing of sex offenders from the point
of arrest through the imposition of sanctions by the sentencing court, includ-
ing original charges, plea negotiations, trial dispositions, and sanctions. The
Department of Corrections, the Office of the State Courts Administrator, the
Florida Department of Law Enforcement, and the State Attorneys shall
provide information deemed necessary for the study. The final report shall
be provided to the President of the Senate and Speaker of the House by
March 1, 2006.
Section 3. Paragraph (b) of subsection (4), paragraph (l) of subsection (6),
subsection (8), and subsection (10) of section 775.21, Florida Statutes, are
amended to read:

(4) SEXUAL PREDATOR CRITERIA.--
(b) In order to be counted as a prior felony for purposes of this subsection,
the felony must have resulted in a conviction sentenced separately, or an
adjudication of delinquency entered separately, prior to the current offense
and sentenced or adjudicated separately from any other felony conviction
that is to be counted as a prior felony. If the offender's prior enumerated
felony was committed more than 10 years before the primary offense, it shall
not be considered a prior felony under this subsection if the offender has not
been convicted of any other crime for a period of 10 consecutive years from
the most recent date of release from confinement, supervision, or sanction,
whichever is later.

(6) REGISTRATION.--
(l) A sexual predator must maintain registration with the department for
the duration of his or her life, unless the sexual predator has received a full
pardon or has had a conviction set aside in a postconviction proceeding for
any offense that met the criteria for the sexual predator designation. How-
ever, a sexual predator who was designated as a sexual predator by a court
before October 1, 1998, and who has been lawfully released from confine-
ment, supervision, or sanction, whichever is later, for at least 10 years and
has not been arrested for any felony or misdemeanor offense since release,
may petition the criminal division of the circuit court in the circuit in which
the sexual predator resides for the purpose of removing the sexual predator
designation. A sexual predator who was designated a sexual predator by a
court on or after October 1, 1998, who has been lawfully released from
confinement, supervision, or sanction, whichever is later, for at least 20
years, and who has not been arrested for any felony or misdemeanor offense
since release may petition the criminal division of the circuit court in the
circuit in which the sexual predator resides for the purpose of removing the
sexual predator designation. A sexual predator who was designated as a
sexual predator by a court on or after September 1, 2005, who has been
lawfully released from confinement, supervision, or sanction, whichever is
later, for at least 30 years, and who has not been arrested for any felony or
misdemeanor offense since release may petition the criminal division of the
circuit court in the circuit in which the sexual predator resides for the
purpose of removing the sexual predator designation. The court may grant
or deny such relief if the petitioner demonstrates to the court that he or she
has not been arrested for any crime since release, the requested relief com-
plies with the provisions of the federal Jacob Wetterling Act, as amended,
and any other federal standards applicable to the removal of the designation
as a sexual predator or required to be met as a condition for the receipt of
federal funds by the state, and the court is otherwise satisfied that the
petitioner is not a current or potential threat to public safety. The state
attorney in the circuit in which the petition is filed must be given notice of
the petition at least 3 weeks before the hearing on the matter. The state
attorney may present evidence in opposition to the requested relief or may
otherwise demonstrate the reasons why the petition should be denied. If the
court denies the petition, the court may set a future date at which the sexual
predator may again petition the court for relief, subject to the standards for
relief provided in this paragraph. Unless specified in the order, a sexual
predator who is granted relief under this paragraph must comply with the
requirements for registration as a sexual offender and other requirements
provided under s. 943.0435 or s. 944.607. If a petitioner obtains an order
from the court that imposed the order designating the petitioner as a sexual
predator which removes such designation, the petitioner shall forward a
certified copy of the written findings or order to the department in order to
have the sexual predator designation removed from the sexual predator
registry.
The sheriff shall promptly provide to the department the information re-
ceived from the sexual predator.

(8) VERIFICATION.--The department and the Department of Correc-
tions shall implement a system for verifying the addresses of sexual preda-
tors. The system must be consistent with the provisions of the federal Jacob
Wetterling Act, as amended, and any other federal standards applicable to
such verification or required to be met as a condition for the receipt of federal
funds by the state. The Department of Corrections shall verify the addresses
of sexual predators who are not incarcerated but who reside in the commu-
nity under the supervision of the Department of Corrections. County and
local law enforcement agencies, in conjunction with the department, shall
verify the addresses of sexual predators who are not under the care, custody,
control, or supervision of the Department of Corrections.
(a) A sexual predator must report in person each year during the month
of the sexual predator's birthday and during the sixth month following the
sexual predator's birth month to the sheriff's office in the county in which
he or she resides or is otherwise located to reregister. The sheriff's office may
determine the appropriate times and days for reporting by the sexual preda-
tor, which shall be consistent with the reporting requirements of this para-
graph. Reregistration shall include any changes to the following informa-
tion:
1. Name; social security number; age; race; sex; date of birth; height;
weight; hair and eye color; address of any permanent residence and address
of any current temporary residence, within the state or out of state, includ-
ing a rural route address and a post office box; date and place of any employ-
ment; vehicle make, model, color, and license tag number; fingerprints; and
photograph. A post office box shall not be provided in lieu of a physical
residential address.
2. If the sexual predator is enrolled, employed, or carrying on a vocation
at an institution of higher education in this state, the sexual predator shall
also provide to the department the name, address, and county of each insti-
tution, including each campus attended, and the sexual predator's enroll-
ment or employment status.
3. If the sexual predator's place of residence is a motor vehicle, trailer,
mobile home, or manufactured home, as defined in chapter 320, the sexual
predator shall also provide vehicle identification number; the license tag
number; the registration number; and a description, including color scheme,
of the motor vehicle, trailer, mobile home, or manufactured home. If the
sexual predator's place of residence is a vessel, live-aboard vessel, or house-
boat, as defined in chapter 327, the sexual predator shall also provide the
hull identification number; the manufacturer's serial number; the name of
the vessel, live-aboard vessel, or houseboat; the registration number; and a
description, including color scheme, of the vessel, live-aboard vessel, or
houseboat.
(b) The sheriff's office shall, within 2 working days, electronically submit
and update all information provided by the sexual predator to the depart-
ment in a manner prescribed by the department. This procedure shall be
implemented by December 1, 2005.

able as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.
(b) A sexual predator who has been convicted of or found to have commit-
ted, or has pled nolo contendere or guilty to, regardless of adjudication, any
violation, or attempted violation, of s. 787.01, s. 787.02, or s. 787.025, where
the victim is a minor and the defendant is not the victim's parent; s.
794.011(2), (3), (4), (5), or (8); s. 794.05; s. 796.03; s. 800.04; s. 827.071; s.
847.0133; or s. 847.0145, or a violation of a similar law of another jurisdic-
tion, when the victim of the offense was a minor, and who works, whether
for compensation or as a volunteer, at any business, school, day care center,
park, playground, or other place where children regularly congregate, com-
mits a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s.
775.083, or s. 775.084.
(c) Any person who misuses public records information relating to a
sexual predator, as defined in this section, or a sexual offender, as defined
in s. 943.0435 or s. 944.607, to secure a payment from such a predator or
offender; who knowingly distributes or publishes false information relating
to such a predator or offender which the person misrepresents as being
public records information; or who materially alters public records informa-
tion with the intent to misrepresent the information, including documents,
summaries of public records information provided by law enforcement agen-
cies, or public records information displayed by law enforcement agencies on
websites or provided through other means of communication, commits a
misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s.
775.083.
(d) A sexual predator who commits any act or omission in violation of this
section may be prosecuted for the act or omission in the county in which the
act or omission was committed, the county of the last registered address of
the sexual predator, or the county in which the conviction occurred for the
offense or offenses that meet the criteria for designating a person as a sexual
predator. In addition, a sexual predator may be prosecuted for any such act
or omission in the county in which he or she was designated a sexual preda-
tor.
(e) An arrest on charges of failure to register, the service of an informa-
tion or a complaint for a violation of this section, or an arraignment on
charges for a violation of this section constitutes actual notice of the duty
to register when the predator has been provided and advised of his or her
statutory obligation to register under subsection (6). A sexual predator's
Ch. 2005-28

CODING: Words stricken are deletions; words underlined are additions.
background image
failure to immediately register as required by this section following such
arrest, service, or arraignment constitutes grounds for a subsequent charge
of failure to register. A sexual predator charged with the crime of failure to
register who asserts, or intends to assert, a lack of notice of the duty to
register as a defense to a charge of failure to register shall immediately
register as required by this section. A sexual predator who is charged with
a subsequent failure to register may not assert the defense of a lack of notice
of the duty to register.
(f) Registration following such arrest, service, or arraignment is not a
defense and does not relieve the sexual predator of criminal liability for the
failure to register.
(g) Any person who has reason to believe that a sexual predator is not
complying, or has not complied, with the requirements of this section and
who, with the intent to assist the sexual predator in eluding a law enforce-
ment agency that is seeking to find the sexual predator to question the
sexual predator about, or to arrest the sexual predator for, his or her non-
compliance with the requirements of this section:
1. Withholds information from, or does not notify, the law enforcement
agency about the sexual predator's noncompliance with the requirements of
this section, and, if known, the whereabouts of the sexual predator;
2. Harbors, or attempts to harbor, or assists another person in harboring
or attempting to harbor, the sexual predator;
3. Conceals or attempts to conceal, or assists another person in conceal-
ing or attempting to conceal, the sexual predator; or
4. Provides information to the law enforcement agency regarding the
sexual predator which the person knows to be false information,
commits a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082,
s. 775.083, or s. 775.084. This paragraph does not apply if the sexual preda-
tor is incarcerated in or is in the custody of a state correctional facility, a
private correctional facility, a local jail, or a federal correctional facility.
Section 4. Paragraph (a) of subsection (3) of section 775.082, Florida
Statutes, is amended to read:
775.082 Penalties; applicability of sentencing structures; mandatory
