The bill introduces a new section, 794.0116, to the Florida Statutes, which establishes mandatory minimum terms of imprisonment for certain sexual offenses committed by individuals who are registered sexual offenders or sexual predators. Specifically, it mandates a minimum sentence of 10 years for offenses such as violations of sections 787.025(2)(c), 794.011 (excluding subsection 10), 800.04(4) or (5), 825.1025(2) or (3), and 847.0145. For offenses under section 827.071, the minimum sentence varies based on the age of the victim, with a 20-year minimum for victims aged 12 or younger and a 10-year minimum for victims older than 12.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that individuals sentenced under this new section are not eligible for statutory gain-time or discretionary early release, except for pardon or executive clemency, until they have served the minimum sentence. The effective date for this legislation is set for October 1, 2025.
