  1. NEW REGULATIONS Florida has legislated that State licensure alone is not an adequate requirement to be able to undertake risk assessments or safety plans for sexual offenders who are on conditional release (Chapter 947) or probation or community control (Chapter 948) who want to have contact with children (law 2005-67, previously SB 1354). The legislature has also said that licensure alone is not a sufficient qualification to provide sex offender treatment to 947 or 948 sex offenders. The legislature has mandated that the 458, 459, 490, and 491 boards determine by rule the required minimal standards.

  2. SB 1354 • Under a new state law (SB 1354) effective January 1, 2006 the medical (458, 459), psychological (490), and masters mental health (491) boards are required to create rules to define sex offender “qualified practitioners.” The intent of the legislation is that only “qualified practitioners” will provide psychotherapy and/or assessment services to sex offenders who are on probation or conditional release from corrections.
