17 insert:
18 Section 23. The Legislature declares that its policy
19 of providing parents with three options for the Voluntary
20 Prekindergarten Education Program is integral to the
21 Legislature's determination of an appropriate range of
22 settings for the program in accordance with Section 1(b),
23 Article IX of the State Constitution. The Legislature declares
24 that its determination of including a summer prekindergarten
25 program delivered by public schools within this range of
26 settings is inextricably intertwined with the Legislature's
27 design for the Voluntary Prekindergarten Education Program.
28 The Legislature declares that the summer prekindergarten
29 demonstration program is essential to assessing the
30 effectiveness of the summer prekindergarten program delivered

1 the prekindergarten program delivered by child development
2 providers and the school-year prekindergarten program
3 delivered by public schools. The Legislature declares that the
4 provisions of this act which create the Voluntary
5 Prekindergarten Education Program are carefully constructed
6 and that the Legislature would not enact the Voluntary
7 Prekindergarten Education Program without enacting the summer
8 prekindergarten program delivered by public schools and the
9 summer prekindergarten demonstration program. To this end, the
10 provisions of this act which create the summer prekindergarten
11 program delivered by public schools and the summer
12 prekindergarten demonstration program are declared to be
13 inseparable from the remaining provisions of the Voluntary
14 Prekindergarten Education Program and are not severable from
15 those provisions. The Legislature further declares that the
16 summer prekindergarten demonstration program would be
17 inoperative without the appropriation provided for the
18 demonstration program in this act. Therefore, part V of
19 chapter 1002, Florida Statutes, as created by section 1 of
20 this act, shall not take effect unless the appropriation
21 provided for the summer prekindergarten demonstration program
22 in subsection (1) of section 22 of this act becomes law.
