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. • The following procedures and criteria shall be followed when defendants are released from custody by the Court upon the condition that they submit to electronic monitoring under the EMPACT program or other monitoring program and more specifically, shall be followed when defendants are released from custody by the Court upon the condition that they submit to electronic monitoring under the EMPACT or DV EMPACT program approved by the Seminole County Sheriff: 1. • Defendants who have a serious medical condition that requires frequent care, or who are identified as psychotic, intellectually disabled, currently suicidal, mentally incapable, or unable to cope with the structure of electronic monitoring shall not be placed on an electronic monitor. • Any defendant that the Sheriff or any police agency in Seminole County determines is not mentally capable of coping with the structure of electronic monitoring shall notify the Court immediately. • The defendant shall not be released until a further determination is made by the Court as to the defendant’s release conditions. • The defendant will not be placed back on GPS if the defendant tampers with the GPS equipment or in any way circumvents the GPS equipment to not function properly as intended by the Court. 3. • Defendants who have a condition of release to participate in the EMPACT or another electronic monitoring program shall be responsible for any damage or loss to the equipment issued and shall pay a per diem cost to Seminole County. 4. • The Seminole County Sheriff’s Office shall be responsible for the collection of any fees related to the EMPACT program. • Defendants who have been taken into custody for any offense for which no bail shall be set until the initial appearance proceeding enumerated in Seminole County Administrative Order Bail Schedule. • Any defendant who breaches a condition of release while on electronic monitoring in a domestic violence case shall be taken into custody by any law enforcement officer upon probable cause and held until first appearance as provided by F. • Any defendant who commits a violation of F.S. 843.23 by intentionally removing, destroying, altering, tampering with damage, or circumventing the operation of an electronic monitoring device that must be worn or used by that person pursuant to a Court order shall be taken into custody by any law enforcement officer and brought before the Court for first appearance. • In the event of a violation that occurs out of county, that results in an out-of-county arrest of the defendant for a new-law violation, that the Seminole County defendant’s bond shall be revoked automatically, and the defendant shall be held at no bond on the underlying case, until such time as he/she can be transported to Seminole County, and appear before a first appearance judge to determine if said violation is willful. • In the event of a suspected breach of any other condition of electronic monitoring, the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office shall notify the Court in writing so that the violation may be brought before the Court for review. • Defendants shall have been informed in their court minutes/order placing them on EMPACT that violations include, but not be limited to: • The defendant must not have unauthorized contact with any victims or codefendants. • All information provided to the Court, the Sheriff, and any supervising agency, must be truthful.

Reviewer note: Document sha256: 61d04ce4b2d33c04f041e2e3bcdfbcfcb641947ce13372e7df3610d9953127bc (166122 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.
