IN THE CIRCUIT COURT, SIXTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT

IN AND FOR PASCO AND PINELLAS COUNTIES, FLORIDA

 

ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 2008-062 PA/PI-CIR

 

Printer friendly version

 

RE:  UNIFORM BOND SCHEDULE AMENDMENTS

 

Section 903.046, Florida Statutes, was amended to provide that persons charged with violations of chapter 874 (criminal street gangs) or persons eligible for enhanced penalties under chapter 874 are not eligible for release until first appearance (see chapter 2008- 238, Laws of Florida).

 

Section 810.02, Florida Statues was amended to provide that persons charged with burglary during a state of emergency are not eligible for release until first appearance (see chapter 2007-115, Laws of Florida). 

 

Because of the nature of these offenses, the Legislature determined that release prior to first appearance cannot reasonably protect the community from risk of harm.  See Article I, section 14, Florida Constitution.

 

In order to amend the uniform bond schedule to incorporate these legislative changes,

 

IT IS ORDERED:

 

Administrative Order 2007-055 PA-CIR and Administrative Order PI-CIR 2007-32 are amended to read:

 

4.      C.  RANGE OF BOND, RECOMMENDED AMOUNT

 

For offenses added to the statutes subsequent to the date of this Order, these ranges of bonds will be used for the new offenses, unless otherwise provided in a subsequent administrative order.
