In re AMENDMENTS TO THE FLORIDA RULES OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE, 998 So. 2d 1128

PER CURIAM. The Florida Bar’s Criminal Procedure Rules Committee (Committee) has filed an out-of-cycle report proposing amendments to the Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure to conform the rules to 2008 legislation. We have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 2(a), Fla. Const.; Fla. R. Jud. Admin. 2.140(e). The Committee proposes amendments to rules 3.704 (Criminal Punishment Code) and 3.986 (Forms Related to Judgment and Sentence) in response to recent legislation that became effective October 1, 2008. See ch. 2008-238, §§ 8, 21-22, 26, 35, Laws of Fla.

The Executive Committee of the Florida Bar Board of Governors unanimously approved the proposals. After considering the Committee’s proposals and reviewing the relevant legislation, we amend the rules as proposed by the Committee. The amendment to rule 3.704(d)(22) changes the term “criminal street gang” to “criminal gang.” The change is in response to

chapter 2008-238, Laws of Florida,

section 8 (amending

section 874.04, Florida Statutes, to replace the term “criminal street gang activity” with “gang-related offenses,” and to change the term “criminal street gang” to “criminal gang”) and

section 26 (amending

section 921.0024(l)(a), Florida Statutes, to change the term “criminal street gang offense” to “criminal gang offense”). This change is consistent with the recent amendment to rule 3.992(a), Criminal Punishment Code Scoresheet, made in In re Amendments to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 8.992(a)—Criminal Punishment Code Scoresheet, 992 So.2d 239 (Fla.2008). An editorial change to correct the spelling of the word “benefiting” also is made to the subdivision. The amendment to rule 3.986(d), Form for Sentencing, adds a provision for felony convictions for an offense that is found, pursuant to

section 874.04, to have been committed for the purpose of benefiting, promoting, or furthering the interests of a criminal gang. The amendments to rules 3.986(e), Form for Order of Probation, and 3.986(f), Form for Community Control, add special conditions prohibiting association with criminal gang members. The changes are made in response to

chapter 2008-238, Laws of Florida,

section 21 (creating

section 948.033, Florida Statutes, to prohibit persons convicted of criminal gang offenses from associating with other criminal gang members during community control or probation) and

section 22 (amending

section 947.18, Florida Statutes, to prohibit persons convicted of criminal gang offenses from associating with other criminal gang members during parole). Accordingly, we amend the Rules of Criminal Procedure as reflected in the appendix to this opinion. New language is underscored, and deleted language is struck through. These amendments shall become effective immediately upon the release of this opinion. Because the amendments were not published for comment prior to their adoption, interested persons shall have sixty days from the date of this opinion in which to file comments with the Court. It is so ordered.
