In Section 06, on Page 327, INSERT the following:

From the funds in Specific Appropriation 2683 and 2684, the Office of 
Program Policy Analysis and Government Accountability (OPPAGA) shall 
prepare a report examining the imposition and execution of capital 
punishment at a system-wide level in Florida.  The report must identify 
the actual annual fiscal cost associated with maintaining the capital 
punishment system as well as the average cost to state and local 
government associated with the execution of a single offender from 
indictment to execution.  The report must also address causes driving 
disparities in capital sentencing outcomes on the basis of demographic 
factors of the offender and the victim including, but not limited to, 
race, gender, sex, and geography.  If causation cannot be established, 
the report must identify specific barriers to determining causation.  
The report must include specific legislative proposals to reduce the

cost of the capital punishment system to taxpayers as well as moderate 
the outcome disparities correlated with demographic factors.  OPPAGA is 
authorized, within existing resources, to work with any private or 
public entity in the development of the report.  All state funded 
entities are requested to assist OPPAGA in the development of the report 
and are asked to comply with any request for information from OPPAGA.  
The report shall be submitted to the President of the Senate, the 
Speaker of the House of Representatives, the Governor, and the Chief 
Justice of the Supreme Court by December 1, 2017.
Line item amendments are accepted as part of the amendatory process. However, due to the necessity of using computerized systems this may entail a different placement within a budget entity or the renumbering of the specific appropriation items.
