FL Stat § 394.910 (2021)
2021 Florida Statutes|Title XXIX - Public Health|Chapter 394 - Mental Health|Part V - Involuntary Civil Commitment of Sexually Violent Predators (Ss. 394.910-394.932)|394.910 - Legislative findings and intent.

394.910 Legislative findings and intent.—The Legislature finds that a small but extremely dangerous number of sexually violent predators exist who do not have a mental disease or defect that renders them appropriate for involuntary treatment under the Baker Act, part I of this chapter, which is intended to provide short-term treatment to individuals with serious mental disorders and then return them to the community. In contrast to persons appropriate for civil commitment under the Baker Act, sexually violent predators generally have antisocial personality features which are unamenable to existing mental illness treatment modalities, and those features render them likely to engage in criminal, sexually violent behavior. The Legislature further finds that the likelihood of sexually violent predators engaging in repeat acts of predatory sexual violence is high. The existing involuntary commitment procedures under the Baker Act for the treatment and care of mentally ill persons are inadequate to address the risk these sexually violent predators pose to society. The Legislature further finds that the prognosis for rehabilitating sexually violent predators in a prison setting is poor, the treatment needs of this population are very long term, and the treatment modalities for this population are very different from the traditional treatment modalities for people appropriate for commitment under the Baker Act. It is therefore the intent of the Legislature to create a civil commitment procedure for the long-term care and treatment of sexually violent predators.History.—ss. 2, 3, ch. 98-64; s. 3, ch. 99-222.Note.—Former s. 916.31.

394.911 Legislative intent.—The Legislature intends that persons who are subject to the civil commitment procedure for sexually violent predators under this part be subject to the procedures established in this part and not to the provisions of part I of this chapter. Less restrictive alternatives are not applicable to cases initiated under this part.History.—s. 4, ch. 99-222.

The court shall only consider whether to have an adversarial probable cause hearing in cases where the failure to begin a trial is not the result of any delay caused by the respondent. The person shall be provided with notice of, and an opportunity to appear in person at, an adversarial hearing. At this hearing, the judge shall:(a) Receive evidence and hear argument from the person and the state attorney; and(b) Determine whether probable cause exists to believe that the person is a sexually violent predator.(3) At the adversarial probable cause hearing, the person has the right to:(a) Be represented by counsel;(b) Present evidence;(c) Cross-examine any witnesses who testify against the person; and(d) View and copy all petitions and reports in the court file.(4) If the court again concludes that there is probable cause to believe that the person is a sexually violent predator, the court shall order that the person be held in an appropriate secure facility upon the expiration of his or her incarcerative sentence.(5) After a court finds probable cause to believe that the person is a sexually violent predator, the person must be held in custody in a secure facility without opportunity for pretrial release or release during the trial proceedings.History.—s. 7, ch. 98-64; s. 9, ch. 99-222.Note.—Former s. 916.35.
