The order must specify the name of the offender, the name and address of the service provider to which the offender is referred, the date of the referral, the duration of the offender’s sentence, and all conditions stipulated by the referral source.

The director must orally communicate a decision to discharge an offender to the offender and to the referral source, immediately, and must communicate the decision in writing within 72 hours thereafter, stating the basis for the determination that the offender is beyond the safe management capabilities of the facility.(d) When an offender successfully completes treatment or when the time period during which the offender is required to receive treatment expires, the director shall communicate such fact to the referral source.History.—s. 8, ch. 93-39; s. 38, ch. 97-194.

400.0061 Legislative findings and intent; long-term care facilities.—(1) The Legislature finds that conditions in long-term care facilities in this state are such that the rights, health, safety, and welfare of residents are not fully ensured by rules of the Department of Elderly Affairs or the Agency for Health Care Administration or by the good faith of owners or operators of long-term care facilities. Furthermore, there is a need for a formal mechanism whereby a long-term care facility resident, a representative of a long-term care facility resident, or any other concerned citizen may make a complaint against the facility or its employees or against other persons who are in a position to restrict, interfere with, or threaten the rights, health, safety, or welfare of a long-term care facility resident. The Legislature finds that concerned citizens are often more effective advocates for the rights of others than governmental agencies. The Legislature further finds that in order to be eligible to receive an allotment of funds authorized and appropriated under the federal Older Americans Act, the state must establish and operate an Office of State Long-Term Care Ombudsman, to be headed by the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman, and carry out a long-term care ombudsman program.(2) It is the intent of the Legislature, therefore, to use voluntary citizen ombudsman councils under the leadership of the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman and, through them, to operate a state ombudsman program, which shall, without interference by any executive agency, undertake to discover, investigate, and determine the presence of conditions or individuals that constitute a threat to the rights, health, safety, or welfare of the residents of long-term care facilities. To ensure that the effectiveness and efficiency of such investigations are not impeded by advance notice or delay, the Legislature intends that the representatives of the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program not be required to obtain warrants in order to enter into or conduct investigations or onsite administrative assessments of long-term care facilities. It is the further intent of the Legislature that the environment in long-term care facilities be conducive to the dignity and independence of residents and that investigations by representatives of the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program shall further the enforcement of laws, rules, and regulations that safeguard the health, safety, and welfare of residents.History.—ss. 2, 30, ch. 93-177; s. 758, ch. 95-148; s. 111, ch. 99-8; s. 2, ch. 2006-121; s. 2, ch. 2015-31.
