  354  the exception of s. 1011.68, and new categorical funds enacted
  355  after July 1, 1994, for the purpose of elementary or secondary

  363  2014, except that any amendments to such text enacted other than

  367         Section 8. In order to implement Specific Appropriation 25
  368  of the 2014-2015 General Appropriations Act, paragraph (a) of
  369  subsection (1) of section 1013.64, Florida Statutes, is amended
  370  to read:
  371         1013.64 Funds for comprehensive educational plant needs;
  372  construction cost maximums for school district capital
  373  projects.—Allocations from the Public Education Capital Outlay
  374  and Debt Service Trust Fund to the various boards for capital
  375  outlay projects shall be determined as follows:
  376         (1)(a)1. Funds for remodeling, renovation, maintenance,
  377  repairs, and site improvement for existing satisfactory
  378  facilities shall be given priority consideration by the
  379  Legislature for appropriations allocated to the boards from the
  380  total amount of the Public Education Capital Outlay and Debt
  381  Service Trust Fund appropriated. These funds shall be calculated
  382  pursuant to the following basic formula: the building value
  383  times the building age over the sum of the years’ digits
  384  assuming a 50-year building life. For modular noncombustible
  385  facilities, a 35-year life shall be used, and for relocatable
  386  facilities, a 20-year life shall be used. “Building value” is
  387  calculated by multiplying each building’s total assignable
  388  square feet times the appropriate net-to-gross conversion rate
  389  found in state board rules and that product times the current
  390  average new construction cost. “Building age” is calculated by
  391  multiplying the prior year’s building age times 1 minus the
  392  prior year’s sum received from this subsection divided by the
  393  prior year’s building value. To the net result shall be added
  394  the number 1. Each board shall receive the percentage generated
  395  by the preceding formula of the total amount appropriated for
  396  the purposes of this section.
  397         2. Notwithstanding subparagraph 1., and for the 2014-2015
  398  fiscal year only, funds appropriated for remodeling, renovation,
  399  maintenance, repairs, and site improvement for existing
  400  satisfactory facilities shall be allocated by prorating the
  401  total appropriation based on each school district’s share of the
  402  2013-2014 reported fixed capital outlay FTE. This subparagraph
  403  expires July 1, 2015.
  404         Section 9. In order to implement Specific Appropriations
  405  203, 210, 211, 212, and 215 of the 2014-2015 General
  406  Appropriations Act, the calculations for the Medicaid Low-Income
  407  Pool and Disproportionate Share Hospital programs, and the
  408  parameters and calculations for the diagnosis-related group
  409  (DRG) methodology for hospital reimbursement, for the 2014-2015
  410  fiscal year contained in the document entitled “Medicaid
  411  Hospital Funding Programs,” dated __________, 2014, and filed
  412  with the Secretary of the Senate, are incorporated by reference
  413  for the purpose of displaying the calculations used by the
  414  Legislature, consistent with the requirements of state law, in
  415  making appropriations for the Medicaid Low-Income Pool and
  416  Disproportionate Share Hospital programs, and the parameters and
  417  calculations for the DRG methodology for hospital reimbursement.
  418  This section expires July 1, 2015.
  419         Section 10. (1) In order to implement Specific
  420  Appropriation 490 of the 2014-2015 General Appropriations Act,
  421  the following requirements govern the continuation of the
  422  Department of Health’s Florida Onsite Sewage Nitrogen Reduction
  423  Strategies Study:
  424         (a) The Department of Health’s underlying contract for the
  425  study remains in full force and effect and funding for
  426  continuation of the study is provided through the department.
  427         (b) The Department of Health, the Department of Health’s
  428  Research Review and Advisory Committee, and the Department of
  429  Environmental Protection shall work together to provide the
  430  necessary technical oversight of the continuation of the study.
  431         (c) Management and oversight of the continuation of the
  432  study must be consistent with the terms of the existing
  433  contract. However, the main focus and priority to be completed
  434  is testing and recommending cost-effective passive technology
  435  design criteria for nitrogen reduction. Notwithstanding any
  436  other law, before the study is completed, a state agency may not
  437  adopt or implement a rule or policy that:
  438         1. Mandates, establishes, or implements more restrictive
  439  nitrogen reduction standards to existing or new onsite sewage
  440  treatment systems or modification of such systems; or
  441         2. Directly or indirectly, such as through an
  442  administrative order developed by the Department of
  443  Environmental Protection as part of a basin management action
  444  plan adopted pursuant to s. 403.067, Florida Statutes, requires
  445  the use of performance-based treatment systems or similar
  446  technology. However, more restrictive nitrogen reduction
  447  standards for onsite systems may be required through a basin
  448  management action plan if such plan is phased in after
  449  completion of the study.
  450         (2) This section expires July 1, 2015.
  451         Section 11. (1) In order to implement Specific
  452  Appropriation 268 of the 2014-2015 General Appropriations Act,
  453  and notwithstanding s. 393.065(5), Florida Statutes, individuals
  454  from the Medicaid home and community-based waiver programs wait
  455  list shall be offered a slot on the waiver as follows:
  456         (a) Individuals in category 1, which includes clients
  457  deemed to be in crisis as described in rule, shall be given top
  458  priority in moving from the wait list to the waiver.
  459         (b) Individuals in category 2, at the time of finalization
  460  of an adoption with placement in the family home, reunification
  461  with family members with placement in a family home, or
  462  permanent placement with a relative in a family home, shall be
  463  moved to the waiver.
  464         (c) In selecting individuals in category 3 or category 4,
  465  the Agency for Persons with Disabilities shall use the Agency
  466  for Persons with Disabilities Wait List Prioritization Tool,
  467  dated March 15, 2013. Those individuals whose needs score
  468  highest on the Wait List Prioritization Tool shall be moved to
  469  the waiver during the 2014-2015 fiscal year, to the extent funds
  470  are available.
  471         (2) The agency shall allow an individual who meets the
  472  eligibility requirements provided under s. 393.065(1), Florida
  473  Statutes, to receive home and community-based services in this
  474  state if the individual’s parent or legal guardian is an active
  475  duty military service member and, at the time of the service
  476  member’s transfer to Florida, the individual was receiving home
  477  and community-based services in another state.
  478         (3) Upon the placement of individuals on the waiver
  479  pursuant to subsection (1), individuals remaining on the wait
  480  list are deemed not to have been substantially affected by
  481  agency action and are, therefore, not entitled to a hearing
  482  under s. 393.125, Florida Statutes, or administrative proceeding
  483  under chapter 120, Florida Statutes. This section expires July
  484  1, 2015.

  492  pursuant to s. 394.9082, Florida Statutes, may not conduct
  493  provider network procurements during the 2014-2015 fiscal year.
  494  The department shall amend its contracts with each managing
  495  entity if necessary to remove contractual provisions that have
  496  the effect of requiring a managing entity to conduct a provider
  497  network procurement during the 2014-2015 fiscal year. This
  498  section expires July 1, 2015.
  499         Section 13. In order to implement Specific Appropriations

  502  Statutes, is amended to read:

 1142  that paragraph shall revert to that in existence on June 30,
 1143  2012, except that any amendments to such text enacted other than
 1144  by this act shall be preserved and continue to operate to the
 1145  extent that such amendments are not dependent upon the portions
 1146  of text which expire pursuant to this section.
 1147         (2) The amendment to s. 110.12315(7)(a), Florida Statutes,
 1148  as carried forward by this act from chapter 2013-41, Laws of

 1155         Section 45. Any section of this act which implements a
 1156  specific appropriation or specifically identified proviso
 1157  language in the 2014-2015 General Appropriations Act is void if
 1158  the specific appropriation or specifically identified proviso
 1159  language is vetoed. Any section of this act which implements
 1160  more than one specific appropriation or more than one portion of
 1161  specifically identified proviso language in the 2014-2015
 1162  General Appropriations Act is void if all the specific
 1163  appropriations or portions of specifically identified proviso
 1164  language are vetoed.
 1165         Section 46. If any other act passed during the 2014 Regular
 1166  Session contains a provision that is substantively the same as a
 1167  provision in this act, but that removes or is otherwise not
 1168  subject to the future repeal applied to such provision by this

 1170  takes precedence and continues to operate, notwithstanding the
 1171  future repeal provided by this act.
 1172         Section 47. If any provision of this act or its application
 1173  to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the invalidity
 1174  does not affect other provisions or applications of the act
 1175  which can be given effect without the invalid provision or
 1176  application, and to this end the provisions of this act are
 1177  severable.
 1178         Section 48. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this
 1179  act and except for this section, which shall take effect upon
 1180  this act becoming a law, this act shall take effect July 1,
 1181  2014; or, if this act fails to become a law until after that
 1182  date, it shall take effect upon becoming a law and operate
 1183  retroactively to July 1, 2014.
