810.015 Legislative findings and intent;
burglary.

(1) The Legislature finds that the case of Delgado v. State, 776 So. 2d 233 (Fla.
2000), was decided contrary to legislative intent and the case law of this state
relating to burglary prior to Delgado v.
State
. The Legislature finds that in order for a burglary to occur, it is
not necessary for the licensed or invited person to remain in the dwelling,
structure, or conveyance surreptitiously.
(2) It is the intent of the Legislature that the holding
in Delgado v. State, 776 So. 2d
233 (Fla. 2000) be nullified. It is further the intent of the Legislature that
s. 810.02(1)(a) be construed in conformity with Raleigh v. State, 705 So. 2d 1324 (Fla. 1997); Jimenez v. State, 703 So. 2d 437 (Fla.
1997); Robertson v. State, 699
So. 2d 1343 (Fla. 1997); Routly v.
State
, 440 So. 2d 1257 (Fla. 1983); and Ray v. State, 522 So. 2d 963 (Fla. 3rd DCA, 1988).
This subsection shall operate retroactively to February 1, 2000.
(3) It is further the intent of the Legislature that
consent remain an affirmative defense to burglary and that the lack of consent
may be proven by circumstantial evidence.
(4) The Legislature finds that the cases of Floyd v. State, 850 So. 2d 383 (Fla.
2002); Fitzpatrick v. State, 859
So. 2d 486 (Fla. 2003); and State v.
Ruiz
/State v. Braggs, Slip
Opinion Nos. SC02-389/SC02-524 were decided contrary to the Legislative intent
expressed in this section. The Legislature finds that these cases were decided
in such a manner as to give subsection (1) no effect. The February 1, 2000, date
reflected in subsection (2) does not refer to an arbitrary date relating to the
date offenses were committed, but to a date before which the law relating to
burglary was untainted by Delgado v.
State
, 776 So. 2d 233 (Fla. 2000).
(5) The Legislature provides the following special rules
of construction to apply to this section:

(a) All subsections in this section shall be construed to
give effect to subsection (1);
(b) Notwithstanding s. 775.021(1), this section shall be
construed to give the interpretation of the burglary statute announced in Delgado v. State, 776 So. 2d 233 (Fla.
2000), and its progeny, no effect; and
(c) If language in this section is susceptible to
differing constructions, it shall be construed in such manner as to approximate
the law relating to burglary as if Delgado v. State, 776 So. 2d 233 (Fla. 2000) was
never issued.
(6) This section shall apply
retroactively.

rebuttably presumed to have violated that section.
