239	of section 409.1671, Florida Statutes, as amended by section 27
240	of chapter 2003-399, Laws of Florida, is amended to read:
241	409.1671  Foster care and related services;
242	privatization.--
243	(7)  The department, in consultation with existing lead
244	agencies, shall develop a proposal regarding the long-term use
245	and structure of a statewide shared earnings program which
246	addresses the financial risk to eligible lead community-based
247	providers resulting from unanticipated caseload growth or from
248	significant changes in client mixes or services eligible for
249	federal reimbursement. The recommendations in the statewide
250	proposal must also be available to entities of the department
251	until the conversion to community-based care takes place. At a
252	minimum, the proposal must allow for use of federal earnings
253	received from child welfare programs, which earnings are
254	determined by the department to be in excess of the amount
255	appropriated in the General Appropriations Act, to be used for
256	specific purposes. These purposes include, but are not limited
257	to:
258	(a)  Significant changes in the number or composition of
259	clients eligible to receive services.
260	(b)  Significant changes in the services that are eligible
261	for reimbursement.
262	(c)  Significant changes in the availability of federal
263	funds.
264	(d)  Shortfalls in state funds available for eligible or
265	ineligible services.
266	(e)  Significant changes in the mix of available funds.
267	(f)  Scheduled or unanticipated, but necessary, advances to
268	providers or other cash-flow issues.
269	(g)  Proposals to participate in optional Medicaid services
270	or other federal grant opportunities.
271	(h)  Appropriate incentive structures.
272	(i)  Continuity of care in the event of lead agency
273	failure, discontinuance of service, or financial misconduct.
274
275	The department shall further specify the necessary steps to
276	ensure the financial integrity of these dollars and their
277	continued availability on an ongoing basis. The final proposal
278	shall be submitted to the Legislative Budget Commission for
279	formal adoption before December 31, 2004 2002. If the
280	Legislative Budget Commission refuses to concur with the
281	adoption of the proposal, the department shall present its
282	proposal in the form of recommended legislation to the President
283	of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives
284	before the commencement of the next legislative session. For
285	fiscal year 2003-2004 and annually thereafter, the department of
286	Children and Family Services may request in its legislative
287	budget request, and the Governor may recommend, the funding
288	necessary to carry out paragraph (i) from excess federal
289	earnings. The General Appropriations Act shall include any funds
290	appropriated for this purpose in a lump sum in the department
291	Administered Funds Program, which funds constitute partial
292	security for lead agency contract performance. The department
293	shall use this appropriation to offset the need for a
294	performance bond for that year after a comparison of risk to the
295	funds available. In no event shall this performance bond exceed
296	2.5 percent of the annual contract value. The department may
297	separately require a bond to mitigate the financial consequences
298	of potential acts of malfeasance, misfeasance, or criminal
299	violations by the provider. Prior to the release of any funds in
300	the lump sum, the department shall submit a detailed operational
301	plan, which must identify the sources of specific trust funds to
302	be used. The release of the trust fund shall be subject to the
303	notice and review provisions of s. 216.177. However, the release
304	shall not require approval of the Legislative Budget Commission.
305	Section 7.  The amendment of subsection (7) of section
306	409.1671, Florida Statutes, by this act shall expire on July 1,
307	2005, and the text of that subsection shall revert to that in
308	existence on June 30, 2004, except that any amendments to such
309	text enacted other than by this act shall be preserved and
310	continue to operate to the extent that such amendments are not
311	dependent upon the portions of such text which expire pursuant
312	to the provisions of this act.

328	provisions of the General Appropriations Act; however, no
329	district shall receive an allocation of recurring funds less

357	construct a treatment facility, as defined in s. 394.455, of at

910	for the next fiscal year. Such determination shall be made after

951	the Legislature that the head of each state agency as defined in
952	s. 216.011, Florida Statutes, immediately begin to implement
953	strategies to achieve an overall salary reduction that
954	annualizes to 10 percent of the agency's 2004-2005 approved
955	salary budget by July 1, 2005. Such strategies must include, but
956	are not limited to:

969	2652-2660 of the 2004-2005 General Appropriations Act,
970	notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary and for the
971	2004-2005 fiscal year only, each state contract over $50,000 for
972	the performance of services must specify that vendors shall be
973	required to agree, as a provision in the contract, to use only
974	residents of this state as the providers of the services. This
975	requirement also applies to any employees or other business
976	entities subcontracted for services by the vendor under such
977	contract. The requirement may be waived if the Department of
978	Management Services determines that a compelling state interest
979	exists to waive the requirement and such a determination is
980	approved by the Administration Commission. If a contractor is
981	found to be in violation of the state contract for the
982	performance of services with regard to the residence of
983	employees as provided in this section, the contractor and its
984	principals shall be deemed ineligible to receive any state
985	contract, grant, or incentive funding for the remainder of the
986	fiscal year. This section expires July 1, 2005.
987	Section 30.  A section of this act that implements a
988	specific appropriation or specifically identified proviso
989	language in the 2004-2005 General Appropriations Act is void if
990	the specific appropriation or specifically identified proviso
991	language is vetoed. A section of this act that implements more
992	than one specific appropriation or more than one portion of
993	specifically identified proviso language in the 2004-2005
994	General Appropriations Act is void if all the specific
995	appropriations or portions of specifically identified proviso
996	language are vetoed.
997	Section 31.  If any other act passed in 2004 contains a
998	provision that is substantively the same as a provision in this
999	act, but that removes or is otherwise not subject to the future
1000	repeal applied to such provision by this act, the Legislature
1001	intends that the provision in the other act shall take
1002	precedence and shall continue to operate, notwithstanding the
1003	future repeal provided by this act.
1004	Section 32.  The agency performance measures and standards
1005	in the document entitled "Performance Measures and Standards
1006	Approved by the Legislature for Fiscal Year 2004-2005" dated
1007	March 31, 2004, and filed with the Clerk of the House of
1008	Representatives are incorporated by reference. Such performance
1009	measures and standards are directly linked to the appropriations
1010	made in the General Appropriations Act for fiscal year 2004-
1011	2005, as required by the Government Performance and
1012	Accountability Act of 1994. State agencies are directed to
1013	revise their long-range program plans required under s. 216.013,
1014	Florida Statutes, to be consistent with these performance
1015	measures and standards.
1016	Section 33.  If any law that is amended by this act was
1017	also amended by a law enacted at the 2004 Regular Session of the
1018	Legislature, such laws shall be construed as if they had been
1019	enacted during the same session of the Legislature, and full
1020	effect should be given to each if that is possible.
1021	Section 34.  If any provision of this act or its
1022	application to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the
1023	invalidity does not affect other provisions or applications of
1024	the act which can be given effect without the invalid provision
1025	or application, and to this end the provisions of this act are
1026	severable.
1027	Section 35.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this
1028	act, this act shall take effect July 1, 2004; or, if this act
1029	fails to become a law until after that date, it shall take
1030	effect upon becoming a law and shall operate retroactively to
1031	July 1, 2004.
