Innovation shall provide matching grants to private sector employers in
Florida that continue to provide wages to employees who are Florida
residents serving on extended active duty during a national emergency as
members of the military reserves or Florida National Guard. The monthly
grant per employee may not exceed the lesser of $500 or 1/2 of the
monthly wages paid by the employer to the employee at the level paid
prior to the employee being called to active duty, minus the amount of
active duty base pay and benefit package.

The agency shall develop a plan subject to the notice, review and
objection procedures of section 216.177, Florida Statutes, to implement
the application for, and processing and payment of, such matching
grants. No funds provided in Specific Appropriation 1945M shall be
expended for any purpose other than matching grants to employers.

Funds in Specific Appropriations 1945L and 1945M are contingent on bills
enacted during the 2003 legislative session, or an extension thereof,
becoming law to increase receipts to the General Revenue Fund.  If such
increased receipts to the General Revenue Fund are less than the total
of Specific Appropriations 1945L and 1945M, and any other appropriations
made from General Revenue that are contingent on such increased
receipts, the amount of Specific Appropriations 1945L and 1945M shall be
reduced proportionately so that the sum of all appropriations from the
General Revenue Fund that are contingent on increased receipts equals
the amount of increased receipts.


Line item amendments are accepted as part of the amendatory process. However, due to the necessity of using computerized systems this may entail a different placement within a budget entity or the renumbering of the specific appropriation items.
