2 An act relating to the state judicial system;
3 revising the maximum annual budget amount for

5 County; providing retroactive applicability;
6 providing an effective date.

8 Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Florida:
9
10 Section 1. (1)(a) The Legislature finds that the use
11 of estimates of prior year expenditures to establish maximum
12 annual budgets for the 2004-2005 county fiscal year resulted
13 in maximum annual budgets for some clerks of court which were
14 less than the amounts they would have been if actual
15 prior-year expenditures had been used.
16 (b) The Legislature further finds that the clerks of
17 court perform duties critical to the operation of the judicial
18 branch and that future maximum annual budgets for the clerks
19 of court are based in part on their prior-year budgets.
20 (c) The Legislature further finds that the difference
21 between establishing the maximum annual budget using estimated
22 prior-year expenditures and using actual prior-year
23 expenditures is significant for the Clerk of the Circuit
24 Court, Hillsborough County.
25 (d) The Legislature further finds that basing, in
26 part, future maximum annual budgets for the clerks of court on
27 their prior-year budgets does not allow a clerk of court to
28 take into account the costs resulting from independent pay and
29 classification studies resulting from civil service action.
30 The difference in expenditures between the approved maximum
31 annual budget expenditures and the increase in fixed costs
