...Webster, Longwood, for Appellee. ORFINGER, J. The State of Florida appeals an order modifying a condition of Thomas Springer's sex offender probation. The State contends that the trial court was without authority to modify the statutorily mandated condition set forth in section 948.30(1)(b), Florida Statutes (2006), requiring the trial court to prohibit any sex offender on probation from living within 1,000 feet of a playground or other place where children congregate....
...Accordingly, we treat this matter as a petition for writ of certiorari and grant the petition. Mr. Springer pled no contest to various sex offenses, was designated a sexual offender, and placed on consecutive terms of sex offender probation. As required by section 948.30(1)(b), Florida Statutes (2006), included in the conditions of his probation was a condition prohibiting him "from living within 1,000 feet of a school, day care center, park, playground, or other place where children regularly congregate, as prescribed by the court." Unfortunately, Mr....
...Springer's motion, allowing him to live 865 feet from the playground so long as he did not enter any portion of the subdivision and its recreation area. This proceeding followed. The State asserts that the trial court did not have the authority to modify the residence restriction as section
948.30(1)(b) prohibits a sex offender on probation from living within 1,000 feet of a playground or similar facility. We agree. In its order granting the modification, the trial court determined that it had authority to modify Mr. Springer's conditions of probation, reasoning: 11. The State asserts that the Court does not have the authority to modify a F.S. §
948.30 sex offender probation condition in any respect. 12. Florida Statute
948.03(2) provides in pertinent part that "The Court may rescind or modify at any time the terms and condition theretofore imposed by it upon the probationer." That language existed in §

948.30 was promulgated....

633 So.2d 1061 (Fla.1994). However, that discretion is not unlimited. Section

...Joseph Lewis Blue appeals the imposition of the electronic monitoring resulting from a modification of the terms of his probation sentence from a violation of probation. The issue before us is whether the trial court made the requisite statutory findings under section 948.30, Florida Statutes (2008), when it imposed electronic monitoring as a condition of probation....
...Thereafter, the trial court imposed electronic monitoring as a modification to Blue's condition of the reinstated probation. The record is unclear whether the trial court believed that the JLA (section

...The trial court suspended defendant's sentence as to count 2 and placed defendant on probation as to count 1. On May 15, 2007, the State filed a motion to modify probation stating that defendant met the statutory criteria for mandatory electronic monitoring, pursuant to § 948.30(3), because defendant had been previously designated a sexual predator on September 9, 1999, following his convictions for lewd and lascivious assault on a child and for sexual battery on a helpless victim. On May 30, 2007, the trial court denied the motion finding that it could not impose electronic monitoring on defendant because § 948.30(3) was limited to sexual offense cases....
...The court incorrectly concluded that mandatory electronic monitoring was limited to sexual offense cases and that, since defendant was convicted for fleeing and attempting to elude a police officer, it could thus not impose on defendant mandatory electronic monitoring. Section

948.30(3) only refers to defendants who commit sexual offenses. This argument is without merit, given that §
775.08(4) explicitly provides that "crime," as referenced in Florida law, means a felony or misdemeanor. See Fla. Stat. §
775.08(4). Therefore, defendant meets the initial requirements of §

191 So.3d 406 , 408 (Fla. 2016). Section
948.30 delineates the standard conditions of probation for those who commit certain enumerated sex offenses: those convicted of a violation of chapter 794, or sections
800.04,
827.071,
847.0135(5), or
847.0145, Florida Statutes (2010). Pursuant to the specific language of section
948.30, if a defendant is convicted of one of these offenses, the trial court is not required to orally pronounce each standard condition at sentencing. §
948.30, Fla. Stat. (2010). While the conditions within section
948.30 are only mandatory for violations of the enumerated offenses, they can nevertheless be imposed, in whole or in part, on violators of other offenses as special conditions of probation if they reasonably relate to rehabilitation....

...imposed." Levandoski's request for sex offender probation is indicative of an understanding of what probationary conditions he would be subjected to if the court granted his request.

The prohibition against accessing the internet as a condition of probation appears only in section 948.30(1)(h) (prohibiting a probationer from "accessing the Internet or other computer services")....
...The trial court's pronouncement, when read in context, orally imposed all of the conditions of sex offender probation, including and in particular the prohibition against accessing the internet. Levandoski contends that, because the statutory definition of "sex offender probation" makes no reference to section
948.30, 8 he could not have known that by imposing "sex offender probation," the trial court was referring to the conditions within section
948.30. However, as the district court observed, "sex offender probation" is a term of art commonly used to refer to the conditions found in section
948.30. Levandoski ,
217 So.3d at 219 . Numerous cases have used the term this way, 9 and Levandoski does not assert that it has been used to refer to any other statute. Therefore, we conclude the trial court's reference to section
948.30 during sentencing, in conjunction with Levandoski's prior request for sex offender probation, adequately put Levandoski on notice of the conditions of his probation....
...10 CONCLUSION Levandoski has failed to establish that he was not provided with the written sentencing order in time to file a rule 3.800(b) motion and, therefore, is not entitled to relief. Further, because Levandoski specifically requested sex offender probation, and the trial court implicitly referenced section 948.30 by imposing a condition of probation that is only located in that statute, we conclude due process was satisfied here....

948.30. The Fifth District Court of Appeal relied on Sturges v. State,
980 So.2d 1108 (Fla. 4th DCA 2008), to find that it was improper to impose the sex offender conditions found in section
948.30 unless the defendant was convicted of a crime specified in that section. Arias,

...ANALYSIS
Villanueva alleges conflict with Arias, in which the defendant entered a no
contest plea to the charge of burglary of a dwelling with an assault or battery
therein. Id. Although that charge was not one enumerated in section
948.30, the
trial court imposed—as special conditions of the defendant’s probation—the sex
offender conditions found in section
948.30. The Fifth District Court of Appeal
relied on Sturges v. State,
980 So. 2d 1108 (Fla. 4th DCA 2008), to find that it was
improper to impose the sex offender conditions found in section
948.30 unless the
defendant was convicted of a crime specified in that section. Arias,
65 So. 3d at
104.
In Sturges, the Fourth District Court of Appeal held that application of “sex
offender probation pursuant to sections
948.30 and
948.31, Florida Statutes
(2005)” was inappropriate because Sturges was not convicted of one of the
enumerated felonies for which those statutory provisions are imposed.
980 So. 2d

conditions had been imposed mandatorily pursuant to section
948.30....

may be able to impose those conditions as special conditions for any crime, as long
as the conditions satisfy Biller.

to the conflict issue in this case, we resort to statutory interpretation, starting with
the plain language of the statute, to determine whether section 948.30 prohibits this
condition from being imposed, even as a special condition, for a non-enumerated
offense.
Section 948.30 reads, in relevant part:
Additional terms and conditions of probation or community
control for certain sex offenses.—Conditions imposed pursuant to
this section do not require oral pronouncement at the time...
...If a qualified practitioner is not available

is to be treated as intentionally not covered. See C.M.,
154 So. 3d at 1180.
This rule of statutory construction applies in several ways here. Section
948.30 indicates the circumstances under which sex offender probation conditions
must be applied. It does not, however, indicate when those conditions may not be
applied. Because this matter is not discussed by section
948.30, we must consider
it purposely unaddressed and must not add any words or concepts to the statute to
address it....
...circumstances of the offense committed and appropriate for the offender.”). The
statute at issue here modifies that judicial discretion by requiring courts to impose
certain mandatory conditions in cases involving an enumerated list of offenses.
Reading these two sections and section 948.30 in pari materia reveals the
legislative intent to modify the trial court’s discretion with a mandatory rule only
under certain circumstances....
...Thus, any circumstance falling outside of that
mandatory rule would remain unchanged and instead be governed by the otherwise
statutorily broad discretion typically afforded to trial courts.
Accordingly, we agree with the Third District’s finding that section 948.30

I dissent in part, however, because I disagree with the analysis in Part I of
the opinion and would also conclude that the trial court does not have the authority
to impose the special condition of probation of “sex offender treatment” under
section 948.30(1), Florida Statutes (2008), when the defendant is not convicted of
- 16 -
one of the specified sex offenses enumerated in that section....
...I would hold,
consistent with the Fourth District Court of Appeal in Sturges v. State,
980 So. 2d
1108 (Fla. 4th DCA 2008), and the Fifth District Court of Appeal in Arias v. State,
65 So. 3d 104, 105 (Fla. 5th DCA 2011), that sex offender treatment is limited
under section
948.30(1) as a condition to probation only to the enumerated felonies
of section
948.30(1), which are specific sex offenses.6 Because the jury in this
case acquitted the defendant of a sex offense outlined in section
948.30(1), the trial
court did not have the authority to impose one of the probationary conditions set
forth in section
948.30(1) for an offense that is not enumerated in the statute. I
thus agree with the Fourth District Court of Appeal’s opinion in Sturges, which
construed the statute to provide that the probationary conditions under section
948.30(1) can be imposed only if the defendant is convicted of one of the
enumerated felonies.
This interpretation of section
948.30(1) follows from the text of the statute
and the rules of statutory construction....
...interpretation,” this Court applies “rules of statutory construction”—such as
reading each word and part of the statute together—“to determine the legislative
intent behind the provision.” Id. at 198-99.
I begin with the actual language used in the statute. Section 948.30 is
specifically entitled, “Additional terms and conditions of probation or community
control for certain sex offenses.” (Emphasis added)....
... own expense. If a qualified practitioner is not available
within a 50-mile radius of the probationer’s or
community controllee’s residence, the offender shall
participate in other appropriate therapy.
§ 948.30(1), Fla. Stat. (2008) (emphasis added). Based on the plain language of
the statute, section 948.30(1) does not authorize the conditions of probation it sets
forth to be imposed for any offenses other than the statutorily enumerated sex
offenses.
The majority concludes that section 948.30 mandates sex offender treatment
for the enumerated sex offenses of that statute, yet concludes the statute does not
preclude the trial court from imposing this sex offender treatment for other crimes

...’s conviction of
misdemeanor battery.
Accordingly, I concur in part with the result of the majority that sex offender
probation was not a valid special condition of probation in this case but dissent to
the majority’s interpretation of section 948.30....
...I would construe the statute that
governs “additional terms and conditions of probation or community control for
certain sex offenses” to preclude the imposition of this highly specialized and
stigmatized form of probation to offenses other than those sex offenses enumerated
in section 948.30....
...The Third District, and presumably all subsequent parties who read the
opinion, “assume[d] that MDSO therapy refers to ‘a sex offender treatment
program with qualified practitioners specifically trained to treat sex offenders,’
similar to” the required treatment program described in section 948.30(1)(c),
Florida Statutes (2008), which is titled “Additional terms and conditions of
probation or community control for certain sex offenses.” Id....
...The terms and conditions should be reasonably related to the
- 24 -
circumstances of the offense committed and appropriate for the offender. . . .” §
948.039, Fla. Stat. (2008).7
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. Regardless, I agree with
the conclusion reached by the majority that section
948.30 is inherently
ambiguous.
The Third District correctly noted that section
948.30 does not clearly
provide an answer to the question posed to this Court: whether any of the
enumerated conditions in the statute can be imposed upon a person who has not
been convicted of a sex offense specified by the statute. The statute does not
expressly prohibit or allow such action, and therefore I agree with the majority in
its conclusion that section
948.30 is ambiguous on this point....
...Villanueva to participate in “MDSO therapy.”

...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
948.03,
948.039, and
948.30 in pari materia can we actually
understand the question presented by this case: is the wide discretion statutorily
granted to trial courts expansive enough to allow a court to impose a condition that
is otherwise mandatorily imposed only up...
...ated to the
- 30 -
circumstances of the offense and directly related to preventing the defendant from
engaging in such illicit touching of children in the future.
I would also reject the view that section
948.30, Florida Statutes (2011),
which requires the imposition of sex offender therapy for certain enumerated
offenses, implicitly precludes the imposition of sex offender therapy in connection
with unenumerated offenses. Any such implication is nonsensical in view of the
broad authority granted to trial courts by section
948.03. Nothing in section
948.30 suggests that it in any way limits the authority granted by section
948.03.
There is nothing ambiguous about section
948.30, and there is no basis for the use
of legislative history to rewrite the plain terms of the statute by reading in a
limitation on a trial court’s general authority to impose conditions that the trial
court “considers proper.”...

that require the imposition of all the standard sex-offender conditions under section
948.30(1)....

Stapler concedes that this Court has previously held that trial courts are
permitted to impose sex-offender conditions as special conditions, even for crimes not
listed in section 948.30(1), when the conditions are reasonably related to the convicted
offense....

We agree with this argument. The defendant was not convicted of any
of the sex offenses specified in section 948.30, Florida Statutes (2013),
which imposes standard general conditions of probation or community
control for those specified sex offenses.3 Therefore, any conditions which
the court imposed on the defendant’s community control and proba...

Harrell points to the lack of an express warrantless search condition
in section
948.03. He also cites section
948.30(1)(k), Florida Statutes
(2005), which authorizes warrantless searches for certain sex offenders,
to make a statutory construction argument under the rule of expressio

...ef Judge. Raymond William Driscoll seeks review of an order denying his motion to clarify and/or modify the conditions of his probation. Driscoll argues that the trial court erred in ruling that he was subject to probationary conditions set forth in section 948.30(1), Florida Statutes (2010), because his offenses were committed before its effective date....
...In October 2011, Driscoll filed a motion to clarify and/or modify his probation in which he asserted that, in addition to the special conditions of probation imposed at his sentencing hearing, probation officials were requiring him to comply with the standard conditions of probation set forth in section 948.30(1). Driscoll argued that section 948.30(1) did not apply to him because his crimes were committed before the statute’s effective date. The trial court denied his motion and concluded that Driscoll was subject to the conditions of probation set forth in section 948.30(1) due to his continuing status as a sexual predator. Section 948.30(1), which sets forth mandatory conditions of probation for defendants convicted of certain sex offenses, was enacted in 1995....
...The statute expressly states that it applies to “probationers or community eontrollees whose crime was committed on or after October 1, 1995, and who are placed under supervision for violation of chapter 794, s.
800.04, s.
827.071, s.
847.0135(5), or s.
847.0145.” §
948.30(1), Fla. Stat. (2010). Under the plain language of section
948.30(1), the probation conditions set forth therein are not statutorily authorized as standard conditions for offenders who committed their crimes before October 1, 1995....
...Therefore, *947 when these conditions are not orally imposed as special conditions at the time of sentencing for crimes committed before October 1, 1995, they are not applicable. See id. Thus, Driscoll is not subject to the probation conditions under section
948.30(1) that were not orally imposed as special conditions at his original sentencing hearing. We reverse the order denying Driscoll’s motion to clarify and/or modify the conditions of his probation and remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. Reversed and remanded. DAVIS and CRENSHAW, JJ., Concur. . Section
948.30(1) was originally created as section
948.03(5), Florida Statutes (1995)....
