The proposed bill establishes mandatory minimum sentences for certain sexual offenses committed by individuals who are registered sexual offenders or sexual predators. Specifically, it creates a new section, 794.0116, in the Florida Statutes, which outlines that individuals previously convicted of specific offenses will face mandatory minimum terms of imprisonment ranging from 10 years to 20 years, depending on the nature of the offense and the age of the victim. The offenses listed include violations of statutes related to sexual battery, lewd or lascivious behavior, and sexual conduct with minors, among others.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that individuals sentenced under this new section will not be eligible for statutory gain-time or discretionary early release, except for pardon or executive clemency. This provision aims to ensure that those convicted of serious sexual offenses serve the full mandatory minimum sentence. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2025.
