The Florida Supreme Court has revised the state’s criminal procedure rules, amending the speedy trial procedures and timeline for filing formal charges.

The new rules, which take effect July 1, extend the recapture period, set a new starting point for speedy trial deadlines — beginning when formal charges are filed rather than at the time of arrest — and set a 60-day deadline for the state to formally charge a defendant on pretrial release.

The 6-1 court acted March 13 in In Re: Amendments To Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.191, Case No. SC2022-1123, with Justice Jorge Labarga dissenting.
