The Juvenile Court Rules Committee invites comment on a revision to its 2012 three-year cycle proposals as outlined below. Interested persons have until January 15, 2012, to submit comments electronically to Joel M. Silvershein, Chair, at jsilvershein@sao17.state.fl.us and to the Bar staff liaison, Ellen Sloyer, at esloyer@flabar.org.

| 8.991 | 19-0 | Form as originally proposed is no longer correct due to amendments to §390.01114, Fla. Stat., in 2011. It is being deleted from the 2012 three-year cycle package. |
PROPOSED CRIMINAL PROCEDURE RULES
The three-year cycle proposed amendments for the Criminal Procedure Rules Committee were published this summer and, as a result, comments were received. From these comments, two of the proposed rule amendments were withdrawn, and two of the rules were amended further and a summary appears below. The full text of the proposals can be found on The Florida Bar’s website at www.FloridaBar.org. Interested persons have until January 15, 2012, to submit any additional comments electronically to Judge Donald E. Scaglione, chair, at dscaglione@circuit5.org, and to the Bar staff liaison, Krys Godwin, at kgodwin@flabar.org.
| RULE/FORM | VOTE | EXPLANATION |
| 3.140(c)(1) | 28-0 | Amends the rule to include in potential case titles a reference to violations of County ordinances. |
| 3.220(h)(1) | 22-12 | Amends the rule to include the right of an attorney for a party to apply to the clerk of court or the court for a deposition subpoena to be issued. |
| 3.700(c)(1) | 31-3 | Upon further review of the interpretation of Kramer v. State, 970 So.2d 468, 470 n.1 (Fla. 2d DCA 2007), the Committee was convinced by the Comment that the proposed rule amendment was actually a misinterpretation of the opinion. It is proposed that the previously approved rule amendment be withdrawn and the rule remain as currently published. |
