FL S0312

Creates the "Eyewitness Identification Reform Act" requiring state, county, municipal, and other law enforcement agencies to conduct lineups with an independent administrator or approved alternative neutral administration methods.

Mandates eyewitnesses receive written instructions before lineups stating the perpetrator may not be present, the administrator does not know the suspect's identity, they should not feel compelled to identify anyone, excluding innocent persons is important, and investigation continues regardless of identification outcome.

Requires eyewitnesses to sign acknowledgment of receipt of lineup instructions, with lineup administrators documenting any refusal to sign.

Makes noncompliance with lineup procedures admissible in motions to suppress identifications and in claims of misidentification, and requires courts to instruct juries they may consider compliance evidence when determining eyewitness reliability.

Directs the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission to create educational materials and training programs on proper lineup procedures effective October 1, 2017.
