Committee Note
1980 Amendment. The proposed changes to rule 3.986 are
housekeeping in nature. References to the Department of Offender
Rehabilitation have been changed to Department of Corrections to
reflect a legislative change. See section 20.315, Florida Statutes
(Supp. 1978). The reference to “hard labor” has been stricken as the
courts have consistently held such a condition of sentence is not
authorized by statute. See, e.g., McDonald v. State, 321 So. 2d 453,
458 (Fla. 4th DCA 1975).
