FL H4159

Deletes legislative intent language requiring the Florida Supreme Court to adopt procedural rules for courts to inquire about DNA testing matters before accepting guilty pleas.

Removes the four specific inquiry requirements: whether defense counsel reviewed discovery and physical evidence listings, whether the nature of evidence was reviewed with the defendant, and whether either the defendant or state is aware of physical evidence that could exonerate through DNA testing.

Retains the provision that court postponements under subsection (2) constitute an extension attributable to the defendant for purposes of speedy trial rights.

Takes effect July 1, 2012.
