7 verbatim mandatory provisions from 17-11-b.
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. • Upon filing, all cases seeking involuntary inpatient placement under sec 394.467(3), Florida Statutes (2016), continued involuntary inpatient placement under sec. 394.467(7), Florida Statutes (2916); involuntary outpatient placement under sec. 394.4655(4), Florida Statutes (2016); or a petition seeking consent for procedures listed under sec. 394.4598(7), shall be referred to a duly- appointed Magistrate of the 18th Judicial Circuit. • This Administrative Order shall act as a blanket Order of Referral for those cases. • Exceptions to the Magistrate’s Recommended Order shall be filed promptly but in no event later than 10 days after service of the report and recommendation. • A copy of the exceptions shall be delivered to the Circuit Judge assigned to the probate/mental health division. 4. • Upon filing exceptions, the Court will arrange a hearing on the exceptions within 4 business days after the date of filing. • The party filing the exceptions shall have the burden of so notifying the Digital Court Reporter and ensuring that copies of the audio recording are provided to the parties and the court. • An order disposing of the exceptions will be filed within 3 days of the date of the hearing on the exceptions, unless the parties and court agree to a longer period.

Reviewer note: Document sha256: a7722ce26d56333552881df07bfe0be7591ebfde33fc4f90e7f6917ef8973794 (119547 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.
