AMENDMENTS TO FLA. RULE OF CRIM. PROC 3.992(A), SC11-1381 (Fla. 9-28-2011)

PER CURIAM.

This matter is before the Court for consideration of proposed amendments to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.992(a). We have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 2(a), Fla. Const.

The Supreme Court Criminal Court Steering Committee (Steering Committee) proposes amendments to rule 3.992(a) in light of recent legislation and on recommendation of the Florida Department of Corrections (DOC). That legislation, chapter 2011-33, sections 2 and 3, Laws of Florida, increases the total sentence points from fifty-two or less to sixty or less, for which the court may place a defendant into a treatment-based drug court program. After considering the Steering Committee's proposals and reviewing the relevant legislation, we adopt the proposed amendments to rule 3.992(a), as reflected in the appendix to this opinion. New language is indicated by underscoring, and deleted language is indicated by struck-through type. The amendments shall become effective immediately upon release of this opinion. Because the amendments were not published for comment prior to their adoption, interested persons shall have sixty days from the date of this opinion in which to file comments with the Court.

It is so ordered.

CANADY, C.J., and PARIENTE, LEWIS, QUINCE, POLSTON, LABARGA, and PERRY, JJ., concur.
