Sentencing Guidelines Council was created in 2003.
There are no sentencing guidelines for misdemaeanors in Florida; only felonies.
The most common structured sentencing models in use today include determinate sentencing, indeterminate sentencing, and sentencing guidelines. Determinate sentencing involves fixed terms for specific crimes, while indeterminate sentencing allows for a range of time to be served based on individual behavior. Sentencing guidelines provide a framework for judges to consider various factors in determining appropriate sentences.

It made the guidelines advisory. Previously they were mandatory.
If an appeals court determines that the sentencing court committed an error in either the findings of guilt (to any of the charges) or the severity of the sentence, then it may send the case back to the sentencing court to re-sentence. This repeat of the sentencing process is called a "remand." Two examples. John Smith is convicted of 3 crimes at his criminal trial. The court of appeals detemines that his constitutional rights were violated as to 1 of the 3 crimes. The court of appeals reverses - or sets aside - that 1 crime. The court of appeals then "remands" the case back to the trial court (usually a judge; sometimes a new jury for only a new sentencing argument). Jane Doe is convicted of 1 crime, a first offense, known as a "wobbler," and offense that can be charged either as a misdameanor or a felony. The prosecution charges her with a felony, and makes inflamatory statements in its sentencing argument. Jane Doe is sentenced to 3 years in prison. The Court of Appeals does not disagree with the finding of guilty, but determines the sentence is disproportionate to her crime. It may remand the case for a new sentencing procedure (usually with some dicta instructions or guidelines).
