AI Summary
This bill encourages local prearrest diversion programs for certain adult offenders who commit qualifying misdemeanor offenses. The programs allow law enforcement officers to issue a civil citation or similar notice instead of making an arrest, if the adult admits to or does not contest the offense and has not previously been arrested or received a diversion notice. The adult must complete community service, pay restitution, and receive appropriate services through the diversion program. If the adult does not successfully complete the program, the officer can determine if there is good cause to arrest the adult. The bill also requires the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) to adopt rules for expunging the nonjudicial records of minors who successfully complete certain diversion programs, and requires diversion programs and law enforcement agencies to submit data on minor participants to the Department of Juvenile Justice.
