 1          STATEMENT OF SUBSTANTIAL CHANGES CONTAINED IN
                       COMMITTEE SUBSTITUTE FOR
 2                         Senate Bill 1094

 3                                 

 4  This bill provides statutory authority necessary to implement
    and execute the General Appropriations Act for the 2007-2008
 5  fiscal year.  Such statutory changes are temporary and either
    expire on July 1, 2008, or revert to the original language at
 6  that time.

 7  This bill amends the following sections of the Florida
    Statutes: s.216.262, 216.292, and 932.7055, Florida Statutes.
 8  
    The provisions of this bill expire on July 1, 2008 and provide
 9  legislative intent.

10  Provides legislative intent for specific appropriations,
    authorizing the Departments of Corrections and Juvenile
11  Justice to defray local costs incurred at department-operated
    facilities.
12  
    Amends current statute that directs appropriations to allow
13  the Governor's office to request additional positions and
    other resources for the Department of Corrections if the
14  Criminal Justice Estimating Conference projects a certain
    increase in the inmate population and the additional positions
15  are approved by the Legislative Budget Commission.

16  Allows for the transfer of appropriations from general revenue
    between categories in the criminal conflict and civil regional
17  counsel budget entity. Also, authorizes the transfer of
    appropriations between each of the criminal conflict and civil
18  regional counsel budget entities. In addition, authorizes
    budget transfers  between criminal conflict and civil regional
19  counsel budget entities and child dependency and civil
    conflict cases within the Justice Administrative Commission.
20  
    Authorizes the Department of Legal Affairs to use specific
21  appropriations on the same programs and in the same method as
    was done in the 2006-2007 fiscal year.
22  
    Allows for the 2007-2008 fiscal year only, a municipality to
23  expend funds in a special law enforcement trust fund to
    reimburse the general fund for moneys advanced from the
24  general fund to the special law enforcement trust fund prior
    to October 1, 2001.
25  
    Declares legislative determination that debt for the 2007-2008
26  fiscal year is in the best interest of the state.

27  Finally, it includes technical changes that prevent any
    section from taking effect if appropriation or proviso are
28  vetoed, designate permanent law changes as taking precedence,
    and provide a severability clause and a contingent effective
29  date.
