FL H0591

Creates section 775.08701 to retroactively apply chapter 2016-7, Laws of Florida, allowing persons who committed aggravated assault or attempted aggravated assault before July 1, 2016, to be resentenced without mandatory minimum terms of imprisonment.

Persons sentenced before October 1, 2022, to mandatory minimum terms for aggravated assault under the former statute must be resentenced; the sentencing court retains jurisdiction and may appoint a public defender to represent eligible applicants.

New sentences may not exceed the original sentence with credit for time served, and resentenced persons become eligible for gain-time credits previously withheld due to mandatory minimums.

Establishes resentencing procedures for drug trafficking offenses with identical protections as assault resentencing, including Department of Corrections notification, court jurisdiction, legal representation, and limits on new sentences; effective date October 1, 2022.
