4 verbatim mandatory provisions from 13-37-b-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. • Accept a plea of no contest and withhold adjudication of guilt with respect to civil traffic infractions violations other than those determined to have resulted in a traffic crash, a charge of driving while one’s driver’s license is revoked or suspended, a charge of -- 1 of 2 -- 2 driving with no valid driver’s license, and any civil infraction that would require a mandatory hearing pursuant to the provisions of section 319.19, Florida Statutes; and; 2, That when a request is made by a defendant to enter a plea of no contest and withhold adjudication of guilt, the Civil Traffic Infraction Hearing Officer assigned to the case shall render a decision within sixty (60) days of the filing of the conditional plea, and; 3. • That if the law enforcement officer that issued the uniform traffic citation has opposition to providing the defendant with the remedy of having the adjudication of guilt withheld, such officer shall note on the uniform traffic citation that the officer opposes the adjudication of guilt, and; 4. • That the Clerk of Court shall develop a form to enable a defendant to enter a plea of no contest conditioned on the Civil Traffic Infraction Hearing Officer withholding an adjudication of guilt relative to the civil traffic infraction being charged pursuant to the uniform traffic citation issued by the law enforcement officer; and; 8. • That a defendant may request that a traffic infraction hearing be held before a County Court Judge, rather than before a Civil Traffic Infraction Hearing Officer, whereupon the authority provided by this administrative order shall be equally applicable to the County Court Judge hearing the matter.

Reviewer note: Document sha256: 799941758a24cc8cedb4be4a256c3249cc494c6e579fd5793d813a04ff4d748b (145383 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. | Scope corrected 2026-08-03: the 18th numbers county-specific orders with -b (Brevard) and -s (Seminole); unsuffixed orders are circuit-wide. This rule was bulk-tagged to one county at harvest; the court's own numbering convention now controls.
Judge Costello's AI section simply restates amended Rule 2.515(d)(2) — the post-AOSC26-12 statewide standard — a compliance model, not a local mandate: signers certify cited authorities exist and are accurately cited, with the rule's own sanctions.
The strongest in-the-wild confirmation of the 2026 statewide AI rule: Judge Bantner's page expressly states his prior AI requirements are REMOVED because of the May 28, 2026 amendment of Rule 2.515 — signing a filing now itself certifies the authorities exist and are accurately cited.
