441demonstration program, the department shall immediately request
442such waivers, and Workforce Florida, Inc., shall report to the
443Governor, the President of the Senate, and the Speaker of the
444House of Representatives if any refusal of the federal

486     (4)(5)  INCENTIVES TO ECONOMIC SELF-SUFFICIENCY WAGE
487SUPPLEMENTATION.--
488     (a)  The Legislature finds that:
489     1.  There are former recipients of temporary cash
490assistance who are working full time but whose incomes are below
491the federal poverty level.
492     2.  Having incomes below the federal poverty level makes
493such individuals particularly vulnerable to reliance on public
494assistance despite their best efforts to achieve or maintain
495economic independence through employment.
496     3.  It is necessary to implement a performance-based
497program that defines economic incentives for achieving specific
498benchmarks toward self-sufficiency while the individual is
499working full-time supplement the wages of such individuals for a
500limited period of time in order to assist them in fulfilling the
501transition to economic self-sufficiency.
502     (b)  Workforce Florida, Inc., in cooperation with the
503Department of Children and Family Services and the Agency for
504Workforce Innovation, shall offer performance-based incentive
505bonuses create a transitional wage supplementation program by
506November 1, 2001, as a component of the Passport to Economic
507Progress demonstration program in the areas designated for the
508demonstration program. This wage supplementation program does
509not constitute an entitlement to wage supplementation. The
510bonuses do not represent a program entitlement and shall be
511contingent on achieving specific benchmarks prescribed in the
512self-sufficiency plan. If the funds appropriated for this
513purpose are insufficient to provide this financial incentive
514wage supplementation, the board of directors of Workforce
515Florida, Inc., may reduce or suspend the bonuses in order not to
516exceed the appropriation or may direct the regional boards to
517use resources otherwise given to the regional workforce to pay
518such bonuses if such payments comply with applicable state and
519federal laws limit wage supplementation or otherwise establish
520priorities for wage supplementation.
521     (c)  To be eligible for an incentive bonus wage
522supplementation under this subsection, an individual must:
523     1.  Be a former recipient of temporary cash assistance who
524last received such assistance on or after January 1, 2000;
525     2.  Be employed full time, which for the purposes of this
526subsection means employment averaging at least 32 hours per
527week, until the United States Congress enacts legislation
528reauthorizing the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families block
529grant and, after the reauthorization, means employment complying
530with the employment requirements of the reauthorization; and
531     3.  Have an average family income for the 6 months
532preceding the date of application for an incentive bonus wage
533supplementation which is less than 200 100 percent of the
534federal poverty level.
535     (d)  Workforce Florida, Inc., shall determine the schedule
536for the payment of wage supplementation under this subsection.
537An individual eligible for wage supplementation under this
538subsection may receive a payment that equals the amount
539necessary to bring the individual's total family income for the
540period covered by the payment to 100 percent of the federal
541poverty level. An individual may not receive wage
542supplementation payments for more than a total of 12 months.
543     (e)  The wage supplementation program authorized by this
544subsection shall be administered through the regional workforce
545boards and the one-stop delivery system, under policy
546guidelines, criteria, and applications developed by Workforce
547Florida, Inc., in cooperation with the Department of Children
548and Family Services and the Agency for Workforce Innovation. To
549the maximum extent possible, the regional workforce boards shall
550use electronic debit card technologies to provide wage
551supplementation payments under this program.
552     (5)(6)  EVALUATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS.--Workforce
553Florida, Inc., in conjunction with the Department of Children
554and Family Services, the Agency for Workforce Innovation, and
555the regional workforce boards in the areas designated for this
556demonstration program, shall conduct a comprehensive evaluation
557of the effectiveness of the demonstration program operated under
558this section. Evaluations and recommendations for the program
559shall be submitted by Workforce Florida, Inc., as part of its
560annual report to the Legislature. By January 1, 2003, Workforce
561Florida, Inc., shall submit a report on such evaluation to the
562Governor, the President of the Senate, and the Speaker of the
563House of Representatives. The report must include
564recommendations as to whether the demonstration program should
565be expanded to other service areas or statewide and whether the
566program should be revised to enhance its administration or
567effectiveness.

732in nature and funded by indirect cost earnings and assessments
733against trust funds. Proprietary funds are excluded from the
734requirement of using an administrative trust fund.
735     d.  Grants and donations trust fund, for use as a
736depository for funds to be used for allowable grant or donor
737agreement activities funded by restricted contractual revenue
738from private and public nonfederal sources.

740depository for funds to be used pursuant to s. 216.272.

757in accordance with the law or trust agreement under which they
758were received, subject always to the provisions of chapter 216
759relating to the appropriation of funds and to the applicable
760laws relating to the deposit or expenditure of moneys in the
761State Treasury.

763use of trust funds to specific purposes, unappropriated cash
764balances from selected trust funds may be authorized by the
765Legislature for transfer to the Budget Stabilization Fund and
766Working Capital Fund in the General Appropriations Act.
767     b.  This subparagraph does not apply to trust funds
768required by federal programs or mandates; trust funds
769established for bond covenants, indentures, or resolutions whose
770revenues are legally pledged by the state or public body to meet
771debt service or other financial requirements of any debt

782agent or fiduciary for individuals, private organizations, or

785     Section 30.  A section of this act that implements a
786specific appropriation or specifically identified proviso
787language in the 2005-2006 General Appropriations Act is void if
788the specific appropriation or specifically identified proviso
789language is vetoed. A section of this act that implements more
790than one specific appropriation or more than one portion of
791specifically identified proviso language in the 2005-2006
792General Appropriations Act is void if all the specific
793appropriations or portions of specifically identified proviso
794language are vetoed.
795     Section 31.  If any other act passed in 2005 contains a
796provision that is substantively the same as a provision in this
797act, but that removes or is otherwise not subject to the future
798repeal applied to such provision by this act, the Legislature
799intends that the provision in the other act shall take
800precedence and shall continue to operate, notwithstanding the
801future repeal provided by this act.
802     Section 32.  The agency performance measures and standards
803in the document entitled "Performance Measures and Standards
804Approved by the Legislature for Fiscal Year 2005-2006" dated
805April 4, 2005, and filed with the Clerk of the House of
806Representatives are incorporated by reference. Such performance
807measures and standards are directly linked to the appropriations
808made in the General Appropriations Act for fiscal year 2005-
8092006, as required by the Government Performance and
810Accountability Act of 1994. State agencies are directed to
811revise their long-range program plans required under s. 216.013,
812Florida Statutes, to be consistent with these performance
813measures and standards.
814     Section 33.  If any provision of this act or its
815application to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the
816invalidity does not affect other provisions or applications of
817the act which can be given effect without the invalid provision
818or application, and to this end the provisions of this act are
819severable.
820     Section 34.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this
821act, this act shall take effect July 1, 2005; or, if this act
822fails to become a law until after that date, it shall take
823effect upon becoming a law and shall operate retroactively to
824July 1, 2005.
