611	scholarship program.--
612	(1)  The Legislature finds that the level of early child
613	care teacher education and training is a key predictor for
614	determining program quality. The Legislature also finds that low
615	wages for child care workers prevent many from obtaining
616	increased training and education and contribute to high turnover
617	rates. The Legislature therefore intends to help fund a program
618	which links teacher training and education to compensation and
619	commitment to the field of early childhood education.
620	(2)  The Department of Children and Family Services is

633	Appropriations Act, subsection (5) of section 216.292, Florida
634	Statutes, is amended to read:
635	216.292  Appropriations nontransferable; exceptions.--
636	(5)(a)  A transfer of funds may not result in the
637	initiation of a fixed capital outlay project that has not
638	received a specific legislative appropriation, except that
639	federal funds for fixed capital outlay projects for the
640	Department of Military Affairs, which do not carry a continuing
641	commitment on future appropriations by the Legislature, may be
642	approved by the Executive Office of the Governor for the purpose
643	received, subject to the notice, review, and objection
644	procedures set forth in s. 216.177.
645	(b)  Notwithstanding paragraph (a), and for the 2006-2007

657	only, agencies may additionally use funds for cash awards to
658	state employees who demonstrate satisfactory service in the
659	agency or to the state, in appreciation and recognition of such
660	service. Awards may not exceed $100 each and will be allocated
661	from an agency's existing budget. By March 1, 2007, agencies
662	that elect to make cash awards will report to the Governor and
663	Cabinet, the President of the Senate, and the Speaker of the
664	House of Representatives the dollar value and number of such

669	authorized in the 2006-2007 General Appropriations Act, and

671	Legislature determines that the authorization and issuance of
672	debt for the 2006-2007 fiscal year is in the best interest of
673	the state and should be implemented.
674	Section 29.  A section of this act that implements a
675	specific appropriation or specifically identified proviso
676	language in the 2006-2007 General Appropriations Act is void if
677	the specific appropriation or specifically identified proviso
678	language is vetoed. A section of this act that implements more
679	than one specific appropriation or more than one portion of
680	specifically identified proviso language in the 2006-2007
681	General Appropriations Act is void if all the specific
682	appropriations or portions of specifically identified proviso
683	language are vetoed.
684	Section 30.  If any other act passed in 2006 contains a
685	provision that is substantively the same as a provision in this
686	act, but that removes or is otherwise not subject to the future
687	repeal applied to such provision by this act, the Legislature
688	intends that the provision in the other act shall take
689	precedence and shall continue to operate, notwithstanding the
690	future repeal provided by this act.
691	Section 31.  The agency performance measures and standards
692	in the document entitled "Performance Measures and Standards
693	Approved by the Legislature for Fiscal Year 2006-2007" dated

696	measures and standards are directly linked to the appropriations
697	made in the General Appropriations Act for fiscal year 2006-
698	2007, as required by the Government Performance and
699	Accountability Act of 1994. State agencies are directed to
700	revise their long-range program plans required under s. 216.013,
701	Florida Statutes, to be consistent with these performance
702	measures and standards.
703	Section 32.  If any provision of this act or its
704	application to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the
705	invalidity may not affect other provisions or applications of
706	the act which can be given effect without the invalid provision
707	or application, and to this end the provisions of this act are
708	declared severable.
709	Section 33.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this
710	act, this act shall take effect July 1, 2006; or, if this act
711	fails to become a law until after that date, it shall take
