Supreme Court of Florida
In Re: Amendments to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.992
June 16, 2022
Summary
The Court amended Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.992 to clarify how the Criminal Punishment Code scoresheet calculates maximum sentences and the lowest permissible sentence when multiple felony offenses are sentenced together. The amendments require individual consideration of each felony’s statutory maximum and a separate calculation of the aggregate maximum if consecutive sentences are imposed. The amendments became effective immediately, subject to a further comment period because the adopted version materially differed from the previously published proposal.
