IN RE: AMENDMENTS TO FLORIDA RULE OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE 3.040. (2025)

The Criminal Court Steering Committee (CCSC) filed a report proposing amendments to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.040 (Computation of Time).¹ The CCSC published the proposal, and no comments were received.

We amend rule 3.040 as proposed by the CCSC. The references to particular subdivisions of rule 3.132 (Pretrial Detention) are removed with rule 3.040 now simply referencing rule 3.132 in its entirety. Additionally, the words “shall be” are replaced with “is” in accord with In re Guidelines for Rules Submissions, Florida Administrative Order No. AOSC22-78 (Fla. Oct. 24, 2022).

The Court hereby amends the Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure as reflected in the appendix to this opinion. New language is indicated by underscoring; deletions are indicated by struck-through type. The amendments shall become effective immediately.

It is so ordered.
