...SUNDBERG, Chief Justice. This suit raises questions concerning a prisoner's eligibility for parole under section
947.16(1), Florida Statutes (1979), when he or she has been incarcerated as a special condition of probation pursuant to sections
948.01(4) and
948.03(2), Florida Statutes (1979)....
...t and instead place him on probation when it appears to the court that the defendant is not likely again to engage in a course of criminal conduct and the ends of justice do not require that the defendant presently suffer the penalty imposed by law. Section 948.03(1), Florida Statutes (1979), lists the terms and conditions of probation which may be imposed on a defendant. Section 948.03(2), Florida Statutes (1979), states that the enumeration of the terms and conditions in subsection (1) does not prevent the imposition of other conditions the court may consider proper....
...Our construction of section
947.16(1) in conjunction with section
948.01(4) achieves these objectives. For the reasons expressed in this opinion, we hold that incarceration, pursuant to the split sentence alternatives found in sections
948.01(4) and
948.03(2), which equals or exceeds one year is invalid....

...trial court for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. It is so ordered. QUINCE, C.J., and WELLS, ANSTEAD, and PARIENTE, JJ., concur. LEWIS and BELL, JJ., dissent with opinions. LEWIS, J., dissenting. This case involves interpretation of section
948.03(5)(a)(7), Florida Statutes (1999), which is a default term of probation and community control for Florida's convicted sexual offenders. This question of statutory interpretation is subject to de novo review. See, e.g., Daniels v. Fla. Dep't of Health,
898 So.2d 61, 64 (Fla. 2005). The 1999 version of section
948.03(5)(a)(7), [9] reads as follows: *816 Unless otherwise indicated in the treatment plan provided by the sexual offender treatment program, a prohibition on viewing, owning, or possessing any obscene, pornographic, or sexually stimulating...

...The majority spurns the intent of the Legislature, as expressed through the plain text of the statute, and similarly runs afoul of several canons of statutory construction.

948.03(5)(a)(7). Further, a " natural construction of the language" [16] of section
948.03(5)(a)(7) demonstrates the grammatical incongruity of reading "relevant to the offender's deviant behavior pattern" as modifying a preceding clause which is separated from the former clause by (1) a comma, (2) an illustrative participle, and (3) a string of several nouns. Kasischke and the majority contend that a logical, grammatical reading of section
948.03(5)(a)(7)'s plain text (i.e., interpreting the clause "relevant to the offender's deviant behavior pattern" as modifying "telephone, electronic media, computer programs, or computer services") would lead to an absurd or unreasonable result....

...This is so because the total-prohibition clause, which bans " any obscene, pornographic, or sexually stimulating visual or auditory material," " includ[es] telephone, electronic media, computer programs, or computer services that are relevant to the offender's deviant behavior pattern." § 948.03(5)(a)(7), Fla.

...On the contrary, Kasischke's community-control officers advised him that the default total prohibition applied and that, consequently, he was prohibited from "viewing, owning, or possessing any obscene, pornographic, or sexually stimulating visual or auditory material." § 948.03(5)(a)(7), Fla....

...The modifier "relevant to the offender's deviant behavior pattern" merely relates the otherwise innocuous materials outlined in the "including" clause back to the total-prohibition clause's outright ban of " any obscene, pornographic, or sexually stimulating visual or auditory material." § 948.03(5)(a)(7), Fla. Stat. (1999) (emphasis supplied). The construction advanced by Kasischke and the majority is simply unreasonable based upon the plain text of section 948.03(5)(a)(7) because such a construction is inconsistent with the language, punctuation, and syntax of the statute. Moreover, as I explain below, even if we move beyond the plain text of the statute, the relevant legislative history of section 948.03(5)(a)(7) confirms my interpretation of this subsection. [22] B. The Relevant Legislative History In 1995, the Legislature amended section "948.03, F.S., relating to terms or conditions of probation or community control" by "requiring mandatory special conditions of release for sexual predators and other specified offenders, under certain circumstances." Ch. 95-283, title, at 2651, Laws of Fla. As part of that amendment, the Legislature added what was then numbered section 948.03(5)(g)....
...material. Id. (emphasis supplied). Thus, the statutory section began as a total ban against sex offenders "viewing, owning, or possessing any obscene, pornographic, or sexually explicit material." Id. (emphasis supplied). [23] From 1995 until 1996, section 948.03(5)(g) remained unchanged. In 1997, the Legislature amended section 948.03 inter alia to "prohibit[] a sex offender from possessing telephone, electronic media, or computer programs or services that are relevant to the offender's deviant behavior pattern." Ch....
...released to the victims and their parents or guardians; and (7) electronic monitoring of offenders "when deemed necessary." Ch. 97-308, § 3, at 5519-21, Laws of Fla. What is particularly relevant for our purposes is that the Legislature renumbered section 948.03(5)(g) as section 948.03(5)(a)(7) and provided the following revised language: Unless otherwise indicated in the treatment plan provided by the sexual offender treatment program, a prohibition on viewing, owning, or possessing any obscene, pornographic, or sex...

...cers with limited caseloads." SB 1930 Staff Analysis, at 1, 8; see majority op. at 810-811. [28] While this is true in an abstract sense, a selective focus on this portion of the staff analysis ignores a fact of which the Legislature was well aware: section 948.03(5)(a)(7) is a default condition that applies to all convicted sexual offenders under their terms of probation and community control so long as they committed their relevant offenses "on or after October 1, 1995." § 948.03(5)(a), Fla....
...This section itself does not represent any type of "individualized treatment" or individualized tailoring of the offender's treatment plan. That tailoring, if any, occurs through the modification of the default prohibition in light of the offender's treatment plan. Cf. § 948.03(6), Fla. Stat. (1999) ("The court may rescind or modify at any time the terms and conditions theretofore imposed by it upon the probationer or offender in community control."); § 948.03(2), Fla. Stat. (2007) (substantially similar). If no modification occurs, then the default prohibition applies and individual tailoring has not occurred. The introductory clause of section 948.03(5)(a)(7) could not make this point any clearer: "Unless otherwise indicated in the treatment plan provided by the sexual offender treatment program," the default total prohibition applies. § 948.03(5)(a)(7), Fla....
...B 1930 Staff Analysis, at 6-8. Individual tailoring is simply not accomplished through the plain text of the statute, which erects a broad default prohibition against " any obscene, pornographic, or sexually stimulating visual or auditory material." §
948.03(5)(a)(7), Fla. Stat. (1999) (emphasis supplied); see also Woodson v. State,
864 So.2d 512, 515 (Fla. 5th DCA 2004) (describing the default nature of the standard terms of probation and community control contained in section

...For these reasons, I respectfully dissent. BELL, J., dissenting. I dissent for two reasons. First, this Court has no jurisdiction over this case. Second, the majority's holding is contrary to readily discernible legislative intent. As I will show, the Legislature intended section 948.03(5)(a)(7) to prohibit supervised sex offenders from accessing obscene, pornographic, or sexually stimulating visual or auditory material. In addition to this broad antipornography ban, the Legislature intended section 948.03(5)(a)(7) to prohibit these offenders from utilizing telephone, electronic media, computer programs, and computer services that are relevant to their deviant behavior pattern....
...As the Third District correctly noted, the Second District's decision in Taylor did not expressly address the same question of law the Third District addressed in Kasischke,
946 So.2d at 1161. Specifically, the Second District in Taylor "only required that the probationary condition track the statutory language of section
948.03(5)(a)(7)" but "did not address whether or not the phrase `relevant to the offender's deviant behavior pattern' modified the ban on viewing or possessing pornographic material." Kasischke,

Applying This Customary Approach to the Statute Considered as a whole, including (1) the title, (2) the existing status of the law and the history of the statutory *829 change, and (3) the evil to be corrected, section 948.03(5)(a)(7) unambiguously reveals the Legislature's intent that, unless the offender's treatment plan provides otherwise, a sex offender probationer or community controllee is prohibited from viewing, owning, or possessing any obscene, pornographic, or sexually stimulating visual or auditory material....

406 So.2d 1089, 1092 (Fla. 1981); Foley v. State, ex rel. Gordon,
50 So.2d 179, 184 (Fla.1951). In this case, the title to chapter 97-328 answers the question the majority says is dispositive, namely "which part of [section
948.03(5)(a)(7)] is modified by the phrase `relevant to the offender's deviant behavior pattern.'" Majority op. at 806. The title to chapter 97-308 states in its relevant part that the Legislature amended section
948.03(5)(g) (postamendment section
948.03(5)(a)(7)) to "[revise] a provision that prohibits a sex offender from viewing, owning, or possessing certain materials; [prohibit] a sex offender from possessing telephone, electronic media, or computer programs or services that are relevant to the offender's behavior pattern." Ch....
...The Existing State of the Law and the History of the Statutory Amendment The previous version of the statute read: Unless otherwise indicated in the treatment plan provided by the sexual offender treatment program, a prohibition on viewing, owning, or possessing any obscene, pornographic, or sexually explicit material. § 948.03(5)(g), Fla....
...Not only is it contrary to what the session law title unambiguously reveals, there is also absolutely nothing in the 1997 amendment's history to suggest any intention to *831 relax the preexisting blanket ban on obscene, pornographic, or sexually stimulating material. Indeed, the opposite is true: The Legislature amended section 948.03(5)(g) (postamendment 948.03(5)(a)(7)) to improve the effectiveness of supervising sex offenders in the community by (1) retaining the broad prohibition against obscene or pornographic materials by leaving that language unchanged; (2) changing the phrase "sexually explici...
...he sentencing court in order for a sex offender to contact the victim; and (4) requiring approval by the sentencing court in order for an offender to engage in unsupervised contact with a child, if certain other conditions are met. Id. Together with section 948.03(5)(a)(7), these measures constitute a comprehensive scheme to fortify community containment of sex offenders. Read in this context, it is apparent that the Legislature amended section 948.03(5)(g) (postamendment 948.03(5)(a)(7)) to expand, rather than limit, the existing prohibition....
...This reasoning that the 1997 change was intended to expand the scope of prohibition, not to retract it as the majority holds, is even more compelling when one considers the evil to be corrected. 3. The Evil to be Corrected As I will explain, the 1997 amendments to section 948.03(5)(a)(7) seek to minimize reoffense by improving the statutory "containment process." Specifically, according to the sponsor of the senate bill that resulted in the session law, the purpose of the changes was to "implement the recommen...
..., therefore, are an integral part of the assault pattern." Id. Accordingly, treatment providers and supervising officers should instill in offenders "the dictum that deviant attitudes and fantasies are not acceptable." Id. In light of the purpose of section 948.03, and especially of the critical role thoughts and fantasies play in preventing reoffense, the majority's supposition that "the 1997 amendment seems intended [by the Legislature] to narrow the prohibition's scope" is clearly erroneous....
...e victim until the boy ejaculated in the defendant's mouth. Additionally, the defendant masturbated in the boy's presence. Kasischke v. State,
946 So.2d 1155, 1156 (Fla. 3d DCA 2006). Dr. Kasischke agreed to plead guilty. His plea agreement included section
948.03(5)(a)(7) as a standard condition of his two years of community control and eight years of probation that would follow his 364 days in jail....
...Kasischke does not dispute that the video he possessed was pornographic and obscene and that the video showed a young male having oral and anal sex with other males. Instead, Dr. Kasischke disputes whether his possession of this videotape violated section 948.03(5)(a)(7)....
...Thus, the defendant contends that, since the defendant was convicted of a sexual offense on a minor under sixteen years of *834 age, the State must prove that the pornographic material involved a minor under sixteen for a community control violation to be found. Id. at 1157. The majority agrees with Dr. Kasischke that section 948.03(5)(a)(7) only prohibits a community supervised sex offender from viewing or possessing obscene, pornographic, or sexually stimulating material that is relevant to his "deviant behavior pattern." [35] In other words, to prove that Dr. Kasischke violated his community control condition imposed under section 948.03(5)(a)(7), the State has to establish that the pornographic material he possessed was relevant to his "deviant behavior pattern." What does this mean in practical terms? Does the State now have to establish the existence of a particular...
...The statute is intended to prohibit offenders like Dr. Kasischke from possessing any pornography. [36] And if Dr. Kasischke's use of any "telephone, electronic media, or computer programs or services" is relevant *835 to his deviant behavior pattern, as of 1997, section 948.03(5)(a)(7) prohibits any such usage. IV. CONCLUSION After considering the statute as a whole, including the title, the state of the existing law and the history of the statutory change, and the evil to be addressed, it is clear that the 1997 amendments to section 948.03(5)(a)(7) were never intended to narrow the preexisting ban on sex offenders' "viewing, owning, or possessing any obscene, pornographic, or sexually stimulating material." Instead, these amendments were clearly intended to (1) revise th...

...We note that even under Justice Bell's view, Florida courts would be required to determine what "telephone, electronic media, computer programs, or computer services" are "relevant to the offender's deviant behavior pattern."

948.03(5)(a)(7) to section
948.30(1)(g), Florida Statutes....

343 F.3d at 82 ("When the references to minors are omitted [from 18 U.S.C. § 2256], what remains is the definition of the broader category of pornography[.]"). A similar cabining of section
948.03(5)(a)(7), Florida Statutes (1999), and sections
948.30(1)(g), and
947.1405(7)(a)(7), Florida Statutes (2007), is possible through selective reference to the definitions contained in section
847.001, Florida Statutes....
...[28] The majority also places great reliance upon a model provision of sexual-offender conditional release outlined in the NIJ report. See majority op. at 811. However, the language of that model provision reflects the majority's desired judicial rewrite of section 948.03(5)(a)(7), rather than the statute that the Legislature actually adopted....
...If the Legislature truly intended for that model provision to govern in Florida then it would have simply adopted that language; however, it did not do so. Furthermore, the language, grammatical organization, and punctuation of the model provision and that of section 948.03(5)(a)(7), Florida Statutes (1999), are materially different, not "strikingly similar."

Section 948.03(1), Florida Statutes (1979), expressly authorizes the sentencing court to impose nine enumerated conditions of probation in every case, many of which conditions bear no reasonable relationship to any particular crime.

...es of his actions, and was provided an opportunity to be heard and to raise any objections at the sentencing hearing. Because the requirement that the appellant submit to blood, breathalyzer, and urinalysis examinations accords with the provision of section
948.03(1)(j) for "random testing," it is a standard condition of probation, and under the rationale of Beasley it does not need to be orally pronounced. This standard condition may be imposed regardless of whether it is directly related to the circumstances of the appellant's offense, because it is one of the conditions which is made applicable to any probationer under section
948.03. See Ward v. State,
511 So.2d 1109 (Fla. 1st DCA 1987). Although some standard conditions may still depend on the circumstances of the offense (e.g., see section
948.03(1)(e), Florida Statutes, providing for restitution "for the damage or loss caused"), section
948.03(1)(j) is not limited in this manner. Even though random drug testing is authorized by section
948.03(1)(j), in Seawright v. State,
572 So.2d 990 (Fla. 2d DCA 1990), it was described as a special condition of probation which needs to be orally pronounced. However, the opinion in Seawright does not refer to section

This condition is worded differently than the statutory condition contained in section 948.03(5)(a)(5), Florida Statutes (2000), which provides: If the victim was under the age of 18, a prohibition, until successful completion of a sex offender treatment program, on unsupervised contact with a child under the age of 18, unless...
...The trial court denied the motion, concluding that it did not have the authority to allow for unsupervised visitation until after Wesner successfully completed a sex offender treatment program.

Under our certiorari standard of review, we conclude that the trial court's interpretation departed from the essential requirements of law.

...The court rejected this argument, explicitly ruling that it was bound by the small claims court's determination of damages. The primary argument made by appellant is that the court lacked authority to order restitution to the victim's mother because she was not an "aggrieved party."

In the present juvenile proceeding, the court did not rely upon section 948.03(1)(e) to award restitution, but relied upon section 39.11(1)(g), which provides that in a juvenile delinquency proceeding the court may place the juvenile in community control and, as a condition, may "order the child or parent to make restitution for the damage or loss caused by his offense in a reasonable amount or manner to be determined by the court."

...Miller requested the Court not to impose sex offender conditions in connection with the probation, and appears to have argued that the plea offer did not compel the imposition of such conditions. The State responded that because the requirements of section

The State urged further that the court did not have the discretion to waive the requirements of the statute.

948.03. Section
948.03(5) requires mandatory sex offender conditions upon the conviction of any of the enumerated offenses. Therefore, if a person treated as a youthful offender is convicted of any of the enumerated sex offenses, the conditions of probation described in section
948.03(5) must be imposed....
...The foundation for those decisions, however, was that a youthful offender sentence was to be used "in lieu of other criminal penalties," and in the absence of any legislative intent to override this provision, these enhanced penalties could not be imposed. In the present case, on the other hand, the requirements of section 948.03 are specifically engrafted into the Florida Youthful Offender Act by Chapter 958. The legislative intent is clear on the face of the statute. Accordingly, we must reverse. We note that section 948.03(5), which mandates the imposition of sex offender conditions of probation for persons who commit any of the enumerated crimes, requires no oral pronouncement at sentencing....

...her males. However, the parties disagree on whether the possession of such a videotape constituted a violation of the defendant's community control conditions. The defendant's community control conditions are based on the legislative requirements in section 948.03(5)(a), Florida *1157 Statutes (1999). [2] Section 948.03(5)(a) requires courts to impose upon all probationers and community controllees, whose sex offense was committed on or after October 1, 1995, various general conditions to their probation or community control. For example, sex offenders whose victim was a minor are prohibited from working at any school, park, playground, or other place where children regularly congregate. See ß 948.03(5)(a)(6), Fla. Stat. Moreover, section 948.03(5)(a)(7) provides that, unless otherwise indicated in the treatment plan provided by the sexual offender treatment program, sex offenders on probation or community control are prohibited from: viewing, owning, or possessing any obscene, pornographic, or sexually stimulating visual or auditory material, including telephone, electronic media, computer programs, or computer services that are relevant to the offender's deviant behavior pattern. ß 948.03(5)(a)(7), Fla.

A plain reading of the prior version of the statute clearly demonstrates that the original statute imposed a total ban on viewing, owning, or possessing "any obscene, pornographic, or sexually explicit material."

...The report recommends that certain probation conditions are essential to reduce the opportunities of reoffense, to protect the victims, and to safeguard the general public. In this case, the historical record of the statute in question as well as the legislative history of section 948.03(5)(a)(7) show that the legislature did not intend to alter the pre-existing ban on all pornographic or obscene material....
...As such, we hold that the limiting phrase "relevant to the offender's deviant behavior pattern" only modifies the words "sexually stimulating" . . . material," and not the terms "obscene" or "pornographic." B. Analysis The high rate of recidivism by sex offenders is well known. A reading of the section 948.03(5)(a) community control and probation conditions suggests that these prohibitions were intended to combat such recidivism. Thus, sex offenders whose victims were minors are prohibited from working at places where children congregate to reduce their exposure to children. ß 948.03(5)(a)(6), Fla. Stat. (1999). Similarly, by its words, the section 948.03(5)(a)(7) restriction against possessing or viewing pornography is clearly aimed at reducing stimuli for sex offenders....

948.03(5)(a) and (b), Florida Statutes (1999), that were imposed. This court has previously rejected most of appellant's challenges. For example, in Greenwood v. State,
754 So.2d 158 (Fla. 1st DCA 2000), we rejected identical challenges that the conditions set forth in subsections
948.03(5)(a)(1), (a)(10), (b)(2) and (b)(3) were not rationally related to the offense and that subsections
948.03(5)(a)(10), (b)(1) and (b)(3) constituted unlawful delegations of judicial authority to probation officers. In Britt v. State,
775 So.2d 415 (Fla. 1st DCA 2001), this court rejected appellant's void-for-vagueness challenge to the conditions contained in subsections

PADOVANO, J. The issue in this appeal is whether the sex offender probation conditions mandated by section 948.03(5), Florida Statutes apply in a juvenile delinquency proceeding in which the offender is found guilty of an applicable sex offense but adjudicated as a juvenile....
...At the close of the disposition hearing on June 12, 2000, the court adjudicated C.C.M. delinquent and committed him to the custody of the Department of Juvenile Justice in a moderate risk residential program. During a subsequent review hearing, the trial court heard arguments on the applicability of section 948.03(5)....

C.C.M. conceded that the trial court had discretion to impose probation conditions it deemed appropriate, but objected to the imposition of the conditions in section 948.03(5) on the ground that they are not mandatory in a juvenile delinquency proceeding....
...The trial court rejected this argument and held that the statutory conditions at issue must be applied, even though C.C.M. had not been sentenced as an adult. On July 27, 2000, the trial court entered a modified order of adjudication and disposition, in which the court imposed the sex offender probation conditions listed in section 948.03(5)....
...The order at issue here qualifies as an order entered after adjudication of delinquency, and it is therefore appealable. A proper analysis of the argument on the merits must begin with the text of the statute at issue. We find nothing in the language of section 948.03(5), Florida Statutes, *539 to suggest that the sex offender conditions were intended to apply to juvenile delinquents....
...If the legislature intended to apply the sex offender probation conditions to juvenile offenders, it could have expressed that intention in the statute. In the absence of such an expression, we must conclude that the additional conditions of probation in section 948.03(5) do not apply in juvenile delinquency proceedings. This conclusion is supported by the fact that many of the mandatory conditions listed in section 948.03(5) would have no practical application to younger juvenile offenders. Among other things, the statute provides that the offender shall not drive a motor vehicle alone without prior approval, see 948.03(5)(b)2., Fla. Stat.(1999), or rent a post office box without prior approval. See § 948.03(5)(b)3., Fla. Stat. (1999). Furthermore, the statute provides that if the victim was under eighteen, the offender shall have no unsupervised contact with children under eighteen, see § 948.03(5)(a)5., Fla. Stat. (1999), shall not live within one thousand feet of a school, see § 948.03(5)(a)2., Fla. Stat. (1999), and shall not work at a school. See § 948.03(5)(a)6., Fla....
...Among other things, the court may determine that a special juvenile sex offender placement is required for the protection of the public. The enactment of these specific procedures in Chapter 985 is yet another reason to conclude that the sex offender conditions of probation in section 948.03(5) are inapplicable to juveniles. The state argues that the trial court had discretionary authority to impose any of the conditions listed in section 948.03(5)....
...Furthermore, the trial court could not add a discretionary condition after the original disposition order, unless the child had committed an act that would be a ground for revocation. See Fla.R.Juv.P. 8.120(a)(5). In summary, we conclude that the sex offender conditions of probation in section 948.03(5), Florida Statute apply exclusively to adults and juveniles sentenced as adults....

948.03(1)(k), states
that the probationer shall: “Not associate with persons engaged in criminal
activities.” Demott is subject to this standard condition of probation as well as the

The appellant alleges that the trial court erred in imposing these conditions because the statutes in effect at the time the appellant committed his offenses did not authorize those conditions. Although the statutory language of section 948.03(5)(a), Florida Statutes (Supp.1998), requires the imposition of these conditions for offenses committed on or after October 1, 1995, nothing in the statutory language prohibits imposing these conditions for offenses occurring prior to October 1, 1995.

969 So. 2d 222, 227 n.3 (Fla. 2007) (internal citations

This distinction—between standard conditions and special conditions
of probation—is statutorily codified. Statutorily authorized conditions are
listed in section
948.03, Florida Statutes (2023), and a probationer is
therefore on constructive notice of the existence of these standard
conditions....
...As a result, “[c]onditions specified in this section do not require
oral pronouncement at the time of sentencing and may be considered
3
The terms “standard” and “general” are used interchangeably in the context
of conditions of probation. Section 948.03(1), Florida Statutes (2023) refers
to “standard” conditions of probation, while Florida Rule of Criminal
Procedure 3.986 and case law refers to “general” conditions of probation.
For consistency, and insofar as possible, we use...
...rth any “general

any “special conditions” being imposed by the trial court:
GENERAL CONDITIONS: [List the general conditions of

probation as orally pronounced and authorized by law.]
(Emphasis added).
Prior to 2019, however, the form order of probation in Rule 3.986

...pronounced at sentencing.
(Internal citations omitted).
Of course, this rationale—that the enumeration of standard conditions
of probation in the form provided by Rule 3.986 satisfies the notice
requirement in the same way that the publication of section 948.03, Florida
Statutes provides constructive notice to the probationer—is no longer viable,

...In contrast, here, Capozzi challenges Condition
Seven as an unpronounced, special condition where it does not track the
statutory language delineating standard conditions that need not be orally

13
(Emphasis added). Section 948.03 contains no provision requiring a
probationer to notify an employer of his or her probation status.
Capozzi raised two contentions regarding Condition Eight: 1) the

contentions are correct.

Similar to Condition Seven and its statutory counterpart, the absence
of a willfulness requirement renders Condition Eight different in kind from the
corresponding standard condition in section 948.03(1)(c) (“Work faithfully at
suitable employment insofar as may be possible”) (emphasis added).
The State, however, proposes a different construction of Condition
Eight....
... must be modified to read, “seek

that Condition Eight is actually a combination of two standard conditions
enumerated in section

(c) Work faithfully at suitable employment insofar as may be
possible.

(h) Support his or her legal dependents to the best of his or her

As to the requirement that Capozzi advise her employer of her
probation status, Capozzi correctly notes that such a condition is found
nowhere among the standard conditions enumerated in section 948.03, and
must therefore be considered a special (and in this case, orally
unpronounced) condition....

The State’s reliance on Tory v. State,
686 So. 2d 689, 692 (Fla. 4th DCA
1996) is misplaced where the defendant raised a different issue than that
raised here. (Arguing: “[T]he trial court erred by imposing ‘standard
conditions’ of probation provided in section
948.03(1), and contained in the
probation order, which were not orally pronounced at sentencing, because
he was specifically placed on ‘drug offender’ probation, pursuant to section

686 So.2d 689 (Fla. 4th DCA 1996), in arguing that the requirement to “live and remain at liberty without violating any law” is a standard condition of probation, authorized under section
948.03, Florida Statutes (1993), and rule 3.986(e), Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure. For a standard condition, the state contends, no oral pronouncement is necessary. In Tory , we held that standard conditions of probation provided in section

...In order to effect the deferred sentencing, the trial court sentenced Mr. Fernandez to ten years’ probation with five years’ state prison as a special condition of probation.

Section 948.03(2), Florida Statutes (2010), provides that if the court “imposes a period of incarceration as a condition of probation, the period shall not exceed 364 days.” Additionally, the statute requires that incarceration as a condition of probation must be completed in a county facility, a probation or restitution center, or a community residential facility.

Thus, it is not clear whether the trial court imposed the disputed condition
under section
948.30, the provision that mandates a lengthy list of conditions for
certain sex offenders, or, as I suspect, section
948.039, which grants trial courts
wide latitude to impose special conditions of probation....
...The statute does not
expressly prohibit or allow such action, and therefore I agree with the majority in
its conclusion that section

reliance on principles of statutory interpretation, especially the principle of in pari

948.03 and
948.039, is appropriate here.
Section
948.03(2) indicates that the enumeration of specific kinds of terms and

of special conditions, but does so in a permissive manner: “The court may
determine any special terms and conditions of probation or community control.
The terms and conditions should be reasonably related to the circumstances of the

reading sections

The majority’s decision is based on a misreading of Biller v. State,
618 So.

judges by section

Appellant committed the subject crime in March 2017. In 2017, Florida
Statute
948.03 listed sixteen general conditions of probation. §

Fla. Stat. (2017). Regarding drug and alcohol testing, section

Florida Statutes (2017), provided:

(l) 1....
...Submit to random testing as directed by the correctional
probation officer or the professional staff of the treatment
center where he or she is receiving treatment to determine the
presence or use of alcohol or controlled substances.
§
948.03(1)(l), Fla. Stat. (2017) (emphases added). Section
948.03
contained no provision for the payment of drug or alcohol testing, except
for section
948.03(1)(o), which stated:
(o) Submit to the drawing of blood or other biological specimens
as prescribed in ss.
943.325 and
948.014, and reimburse the
appropriate agency for the costs of drawing and transmitting
the blood or other biological specimens to the Department of

Fla. R. Crim. P. 3.986(e) (2017) (emphasis added).

Condition five also required appellant to submit to drug testing at his

the probationer is not part of that general condition....
...Thus, the condition that appellant pay for drug
testing must be stricken from the conditions of probation, which the State
concedes.

...The court rejected this argument, explicitly ruling that it was bound by the small claims court’s determination of damages. The primary argument made by appellant is that the court lacked authority to order restitution to the victim’s mother because she was not an “aggrieved party.” Appellant draws this phrase from section 948.03(l)(e), Florida Statutes (1985), which provides that, as a condition of probation, an adult may be required to “make reparation or restitution to the aggrieved party for the damage or loss caused by his offense in an amount to be determined by the court.” In the present juvenile proceeding, the court did not rely upon section 948.03(l)(e) to award restitution, but relied upon section 39.11(l)(g), which provides that in a juvenile delinquency proceeding the court may place the juvenile in community control and, as a condition, may “order the child or parent to make restitution for the damage or loss caused by his offense in a reasonable amount or manner to be determined by the court.” We recognize that several cases have construed the term “aggrieved party” in section 948.03(l)(e) to include persons who are not the direct victim of the crime, 1 but we find no such cases under section 39.11....

...warrantless, suspicionless search of his residence by his probation
officer. Finding no error, we affirm.
At the time of the subject search, Harrell was on probation and
community control for manslaughter and battery. His order of probation
largely tracked the language of section 948.03(1), Florida Statutes (2000).
Specifically, one of the conditions of Harrell’s probation was, “You will

...” by a
Department of Corrections probation officer. See §
948.001(2), (5), Fla.
Stat. (2000). One codified condition of probation requires the
probationer to “[p]ermit such supervisors to visit him or her at his or her
home or elsewhere.” §
948.03(1)(b), Fla. Stat. (2000). There is no
subsection, however, which expressly authorizes probation officers to
conduct warrantless, suspicionless searches.

Additionally, although section
