Purpose


Sub-paragraph 11B-27.0011(4)(b)1., F.A.C.: Amends current rule language to add the charge of “introduction of contraband” to the list of misdemeanor moral character violations and associated penalty guideline because statutory changes were made in 2019 and 2020 to reclassify the introduction of written communication, currency or coins, food or clothing, tobacco products, cigarettes, cigars, and any intoxicating beverage from third-degree felonies to first-degree misdemeanors, including the “introduction of a vapor-generating electronic device” into a state correctional facility. Subsection 11B-27.00212(14), F.A.C.: Incorporates the revised Law Enforcement Officer Firearms Qualification Standard, form CJSTC-86A, to ensure more uniformity with the remaining high liability forms and reflect the updated requirement of demonstrating proficiency to comply with the firearms standard. Paragraph 11B-27.00212(16)(a), F.A.C.: Updates the training requirements to “Identifying and Investigating Human Trafficking Training” which resulted from the Florida Legislature’s change to the underlying statute during the 2023 Legislative Session. Paragraph 11B-27.00212(16)(b), F.A.C.: Updates the training requirements to “Identifying and Investigating Human Trafficking Training” which resulted from the Florida Legislature’s change to the underlying statute during the 2023 Legislative Session. Paragraph 11B-27.00212(16)(c), F.A.C.: Amends the rule language because the word “officers” was inadvertently omitted previously.
