411 | to the General Revenue Fund from trust funds in the 2009-2010 |
412 | General Appropriations Act, paragraph (b) of subsection (2) of |
413 | section 215.32, Florida Statutes, is reenacted to read: |
414 | 215.32 State funds; segregation.-- |
415 | (2) The source and use of each of these funds shall be as |
416 | follows: |
417 | (b)1. The trust funds shall consist of moneys received by |
418 | the state which under law or under trust agreement are |
419 | segregated for a purpose authorized by law. The state agency or |
420 | branch of state government receiving or collecting such moneys |
421 | shall be responsible for their proper expenditure as provided by |
422 | law. Upon the request of the state agency or branch of state |
423 | government responsible for the administration of the trust fund, |
424 | the Chief Financial Officer may establish accounts within the |
425 | trust fund at a level considered necessary for proper |
426 | accountability. Once an account is established within a trust |
427 | fund, the Chief Financial Officer may authorize payment from |
428 | that account only upon determining that there is sufficient cash |
429 | and releases at the level of the account. |
430 | 2. In addition to other trust funds created by law, to the |
431 | extent possible, each agency shall use the following trust funds |
432 | as described in this subparagraph for day-to-day operations: |
433 | a. Operations or operating trust fund, for use as a |
434 | depository for funds to be used for program operations funded by |
435 | program revenues, with the exception of administrative |
436 | activities when the operations or operating trust fund is a |
437 | proprietary fund. |
438 | b. Operations and maintenance trust fund, for use as a |
439 | depository for client services funded by third-party payors. |
440 | c. Administrative trust fund, for use as a depository for |
441 | funds to be used for management activities that are departmental |
442 | in nature and funded by indirect cost earnings and assessments |
443 | against trust funds. Proprietary funds are excluded from the |
444 | requirement of using an administrative trust fund. |
445 | d. Grants and donations trust fund, for use as a |
446 | depository for funds to be used for allowable grant or donor |
447 | agreement activities funded by restricted contractual revenue |
448 | from private and public nonfederal sources. |
449 | e. Agency working capital trust fund, for use as a |
450 | depository for funds to be used pursuant to s. 216.272. |
451 | f. Clearing funds trust fund, for use as a depository for |
452 | funds to account for collections pending distribution to lawful |
453 | recipients. |
454 | g. Federal grant trust fund, for use as a depository for |
455 | funds to be used for allowable grant activities funded by |
456 | restricted program revenues from federal sources. |
457 |
|
458 | To the extent possible, each agency must adjust its internal |
459 | accounting to use existing trust funds consistent with the |
460 | requirements of this subparagraph. If an agency does not have |
461 | trust funds listed in this subparagraph and cannot make such |
462 | adjustment, the agency must recommend the creation of the |
463 | necessary trust funds to the Legislature no later than the next |
464 | scheduled review of the agency's trust funds pursuant to s. |
465 | 215.3206. |
466 | 3. All such moneys are hereby appropriated to be expended |
467 | in accordance with the law or trust agreement under which they |
468 | were received, subject always to the provisions of chapter 216 |
469 | relating to the appropriation of funds and to the applicable |
470 | laws relating to the deposit or expenditure of moneys in the |
471 | State Treasury. |
472 | 4.a. Notwithstanding any provision of law restricting the |
473 | use of trust funds to specific purposes, unappropriated cash |
474 | balances from selected trust funds may be authorized by the |
475 | Legislature for transfer to the Budget Stabilization Fund and |
476 | General Revenue Fund in the General Appropriations Act. |
477 | b. This subparagraph does not apply to trust funds |
478 | required by federal programs or mandates; trust funds |
479 | established for bond covenants, indentures, or resolutions whose |
480 | revenues are legally pledged by the state or public body to meet |
481 | debt service or other financial requirements of any debt |
482 | obligations of the state or any public body; the State |
483 | Transportation Trust Fund; the trust fund containing the net |
484 | annual proceeds from the Florida Education Lotteries; the |
485 | Florida Retirement System Trust Fund; trust funds under the |
486 | management of the State Board of Education or the Board of |
487 | Governors of the State University System, where such trust funds |
488 | are for auxiliary enterprises, self-insurance, and contracts, |
489 | grants, and donations, as those terms are defined by general |
490 | law; trust funds that serve as clearing funds or accounts for |
491 | the Chief Financial Officer or state agencies; trust funds that |
492 | account for assets held by the state in a trustee capacity as an |
493 | agent or fiduciary for individuals, private organizations, or |
494 | other governmental units; and other trust funds authorized by |
495 | the State Constitution. |
496 | Section 20. A section of this act that implements a |
497 | specific appropriation or specifically identified proviso |
498 | language in the 2009-2010 General Appropriations Act is void if |
499 | the specific appropriation or specifically identified proviso |
500 | language is vetoed. A section of this act that implements more |
501 | than one specific appropriation or more than one portion of |
502 | specifically identified proviso language in the 2009-2010 |
503 | General Appropriations Act is void if all the specific |
504 | appropriations or portions of specifically identified proviso |
505 | language are vetoed. |
506 | Section 21. If any other act passed in 2009 contains a |
507 | provision that is substantively the same as a provision in this |
508 | act, but that removes or is otherwise not subject to the future |
509 | repeal applied to such provision by this act, the Legislature |
510 | intends that the provision in the other act shall take |
511 | precedence and shall continue to operate, notwithstanding the |
512 | future repeal provided by this act. |
513 | Section 22. If any provision of this act or its |
514 | application to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the |
515 | invalidity does not affect other provisions or applications of |
516 | the act which can be given effect without the invalid provision |
517 | or application, and to this end the provisions of this act are |
518 | severable. |
519 | Section 23. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this |
520 | act and except for this section, which shall take effect upon |
521 | this act becoming a law, this act shall take effect July 1, |
522 | 2009; or, if this act fails to become a law until after that |
523 | date, it shall take effect upon becoming a law and shall operate |
524 | retroactively to July 1, 2009. |
