FL H0845

Classifies a minor's first sexting violation as a noncriminal violation requiring the minor to sign a citation and either appear in juvenile court or complete community service (8 hours), pay a $60 civil penalty, or participate in a cyber-safety program within 30 days.

Requires citations to include specific information such as date/time of issuance, minor's name and address, thumbprint, violation details, reasonable cause facts, applicable law section, citing officer identification, and procedures for contesting or complying with the citation.

Prohibits incarceration as a penalty for first violations; allows courts to impose driver license suspension for 30 days for non-compliance or contempt, along with other age-appropriate penalties.

Designates second sexting violations as misdemeanors of the first degree and third violations as felonies of the third degree, with penalties determined by sentencing guidelines.

Requires 80 percent of civil penalties collected to be remitted to the county commission for cyber-safety training for minors, with the remaining 20 percent retained by the clerk of court for administrative costs.
