2 verbatim mandatory provisions from 01-06-s-amd.
Eighteenth Judicial Circuit. Check the order's own effective and rescission dates before relying on it. Procedural information only; not legal advice.
Verbatim from the order's own text layer, harvested 2026-07-24; whitespace normalised only. No OCR was used. Only sentences containing mandatory language (shall, must, may not, no later than, within N) are reproduced — the full document is in custody and is the controlling text. • All cases initiated by the filing by the State Attorney of a Petition for Involuntary Civil Commitment of Sexually Violent Predators pursuant to Section 394.14, Florida Statutes, shall be filed in the civil division of this court, given a civil case number, and assigned to a judge in the criminal division of this court pursuant to the provisions of Administrative Order No. • All cases presently pending pursuant to Section 394.14, Florida Statutes, that have not been assigned to the civil division shall be reassigned to the civil division, given civil division numbers by the clerk of this court, and assigned to the criminal division judge to whom they are currently assigned.

Reviewer note: Document sha256: c51099ffa3887090953d7743cfc95503fbc3789217ceb06e4db3ad5d1b2fa438 (87100 bytes). BenchPath harvested this circuit itself because no research corpus existed for it. Extraction is conservative: mandatory-language sentences only, so this rule is a faithful subset of the order, never a summary of it.
The Eighteenth Judicial Circuit (Seminole and Brevard) requires cover letters in PDF format and proposed orders in .docx format using DJMCA formatting codes, submitted through the Florida Courts E-Filing Portal.
Florida attorneys must file court documents electronically through the statewide Florida Courts E-Filing Portal (myflcourtaccess.com). Self-represented litigants may e-file through the same portal. Local circuits layer their own formatting and routing quirks on top.
Effective June 15, 2026, every signer of a Florida court filing — attorney or self-represented — represents that "the legal authorities identified exist and are accurately cited," with express sanctions (reprimand, contempt, striking, dismissal, costs, fees) for violations. Companion order AOSC26-12 preempts ALL circuit- and judge-level AI disclosure/certification requirements.
