   10         28.35 Florida Clerks of Court Operations Corporation.—
   11         (2) The duties of the corporation shall include the
   12  following:
   13         (f) Approving the proposed budgets submitted by clerks of
   14  the court pursuant to s. 28.36. The corporation must ensure that
   15  the total combined budgets of the clerks of the court do not
   16  exceed the total estimated revenues from fees, service charges,
   17  court costs, and fines for court-related functions available for
   18  court-related expenditures as determined by the most recent
   19  Revenue Estimating Conference, plus the total of unspent
   20  budgeted funds for court-related functions carried forward by
   21  the clerks of the court from the previous county fiscal year,
   22  and plus the balance of funds remaining in the Clerks of the
   23  Court Trust Fund after the transfer of funds to the General
   24  Revenue Fund required pursuant to s. 28.37(4)(b), and plus any
   25  appropriations for court-related functions s. 28.37(3)(b). The
   26  corporation may amend any individual clerk of the court budget
   27  to ensure compliance with this paragraph and must consider
   28  performance measures, workload performance standards, workload
   29  measures, and expense data before modifying the budget. As part
   30  of this process, the corporation shall:
   31         1. Calculate the minimum amount of revenue necessary for
   32  each clerk of the court to efficiently perform the list of
   33  court-related functions specified in paragraph (3)(a). The
   34  corporation shall apply the workload measures appropriate for
   35  determining the individual level of review required to fund the
   36  clerk’s budget.
   37         2. Prepare a cost comparison of similarly situated clerks
   38  of the court, based on county population and numbers of filings,
   39  using the standard list of court-related functions specified in
   40  paragraph (3)(a).
   41         3. Conduct an annual base budget review and an annual
   42  budget exercise examining the total budget of each clerk of the
   43  court. The review shall examine revenues from all sources,
   44  expenses of court-related functions, and expenses of noncourt
   45  related functions as necessary to determine that court-related
   46  revenues are not being used for noncourt-related purposes. The
   47  review and exercise shall identify potential targeted budget
   48  reductions in the percentage amount provided in Schedule VIII-B
   49  of the state’s previous year’s legislative budget instructions,
   50  as referenced in s. 216.023(3), or an equivalent schedule or
   51  instruction as may be adopted by the Legislature.
   52         4. Identify those proposed budgets containing funding for
   53  items not included on the standard list of court-related
   54  functions specified in paragraph (3)(a).
   55         5. Identify those clerks projected to have court-related
   56  revenues insufficient to fund their anticipated court-related
   57  expenditures.
   58         6. Use revenue estimates based on the official estimate for
   59  funds from fees, service charges, court costs, and fines for
   60  court-related functions accruing to the clerks of the court made
   61  by the Revenue Estimating Conference, as well as any unspent
   62  budgeted funds for court-related functions carried forward by
   63  the clerks of the court from the previous county fiscal year and
   64  the balance of funds remaining in the Clerks of the Court Trust
   65  Fund after the transfer of funds to the General Revenue Fund
   66  required pursuant to s. 28.37(4)(b), plus any appropriations for
   67  the purpose of funding court-related functions s. 28.37(3)(b).
   68         7. Identify pay and benefit increases in any proposed clerk
   69  budget, including, but not limited to, cost of living increases,
   70  merit increases, and bonuses.
   71         8. Identify increases in anticipated expenditures in any
   72  clerk budget that exceeds the current year budget by more than 3
   73  percent.
   74         9. Identify the budget of any clerk which exceeds the
   75  average budget of similarly situated clerks by more than 10
   76  percent.
   77         10. Request the Governor to order, pursuant to s.
   78  215.18(1), a temporary transfer of moneys from unobligated funds
   79  in the State Treasury to the Clerks of the Court Trust Fund in
   80  the Department of Revenue to meet temporary deficiencies in that
   81  fund.
   82         11. Determine if the estimated revenue available for the
   83  upcoming county fiscal year is adequate to fund court-related
   84  functions, and certify and submit any aggregate difference to
   85  the chairs of the legislative appropriations committees and the
   86  Executive Office of the Governor for consideration, at least 30
   87  days before the start of the next regular session of the
   88  Legislature.
   89  
   90  For the purposes of this paragraph, the term “unspent budgeted
   91  funds for court-related functions” means undisbursed funds
   92  included in the clerks of the courts budgets for court-related
   93  functions established pursuant to this section and s. 28.36.
   94         (i) If the corporation determines that the cumulative
   95  budget for all clerks will vary by more than 5 percent from the
   96  approved cumulative budget for the previous year, certify to the
   97  Legislature the specific causes for the variance and how each
   98  variance relates to the clerks’ responsibilities in performing
   99  their court-related functions.
  100         (j) Prepare and submit legislative budget requests to the
  101  Legislature, consistent with the requirements of s. 216.023.
  102  Such requests must be submitted for any fiscal year for which
  103  the corporation determines that new duties or financial
  104  obligations under s. 28.36(4), beyond those funded in prior
  105  fiscal years, have been imposed on the court-related functions
  106  of clerks of the court; and for any fiscal year for which the
  107  corporation determines that the total estimated revenues
  108  available for court-related expenditures as determined by the
  109  most recent Revenue Estimating Conference, unspent revenues
  110  carried forward from the previous fiscal year, and budget
  111  amendments and appropriations made by law for the purpose of
  112  funding court-related functions will be inadequate to provide
  113  funding for court-related functions of clerks of the court at
  114  the current level of operations.
  115         (3)(a) The list of court-related functions that clerks may
  116  fund from filing fees, service charges, court costs, and fines
  117  is limited to those functions expressly authorized by law or
  118  court rule. Those functions include the following: case
  119  maintenance; records management; court preparation and
  120  attendance; processing the assignment, reopening, and
  121  reassignment of cases; processing of appeals; collection and
  122  distribution of fines, fees, service charges, and court costs;
  123  processing of bond forfeiture payments; data collection and
  124  reporting; determinations of indigent status; and paying
  125  reasonable administrative support costs to enable the clerk of
  126  the court to carry out these court-related functions.
  127         Section 3. Effective upon this act becoming a law, present
  128  subsection (3) of section 28.36, Florida Statutes, is
  129  redesignated as subsection (4), a new subsection (3) is added to
  130  that section, and subsection (1), paragraph (b) of subsection
  131  (2), and present subsection (4) of that section are amended, to
  132  read:
  133         28.36 Budget procedure.—There is established a budget

  135  court.
  136         (1) Only those functions listed in s. 28.35(3)(a) may be
  137  funded from fees, service charges, court costs, and fines
  138  retained by the clerks of the court.
  139         (2) Each proposed budget shall further conform to the
  140  following requirements:
  141         (b) The proposed budget must be balanced such that the
  142  total of the estimated revenues available equals or exceeds the
  143  total of the anticipated expenditures. Such revenues include
  144  revenue projected to be received from fees, service charges,
  145  court costs, and fines for court-related functions during the
  146  fiscal period covered by the budget, plus the total of unspent
  147  budgeted funds for court-related functions carried forward by
  148  the clerk of the court from the previous county fiscal year and
  149  plus the portion of the balance of funds remaining in the Clerks
  150  of the Court Trust Fund after the transfer of funds to the
  151  General Revenue Fund required pursuant to s. 28.37(4)(b) s.
  152  28.37(3)(b) which has been allocated to each respective clerk of
  153  the court by the Florida Clerks of Court Operations Corporation.
  154  For the purposes of this paragraph, the term “unspent budgeted
  155  funds for court-related functions” means undisbursed funds
  156  included in the clerk of the courts’ budget for court related
  157  functions established pursuant to s. 28.35 and this section. The
  158  anticipated expenditures must be itemized as required by the
  159  corporation.
  160         (3)(a) The Florida Clerks of Court Operations Corporation
  161  shall establish and manage a reserve for contingencies within
  162  the Clerks of the Court Trust Fund which must consist of an
  163  amount not to exceed 16 percent of the total budget authority
  164  for the clerks of court during the current county fiscal year,
  165  to be carried forward at the end of the fiscal year. Funds to be
  166  held in reserve include transfers of cumulative excess, as
  167  provided in s. 28.37(4)(b), from the Clerks of the Court Trust
  168  Fund and may also include revenues provided by law or moneys
  169  appropriated by the Legislature.
  170         (b) The corporation shall provide a reporting of the
  171  balance and use of these funds during each county fiscal year as
  172  part of the corporation’s annual report submitted under s.
  173  28.35(2)(h).
  174         (c) The corporation may use the reserve to ensure the
  175  clerks of court can perform the court-related functions as
  176  provided in s. 28.35(3)(a). Moneys in the Clerks of the Court
  177  Trust Fund which are held in reserve may be used by the
  178  corporation under the following circumstances:
  179         1. To offset a current deficit between the revenue
  180  available and the original budget authority. A deficit is deemed
  181  to occur when the revenue available to the clerks of court falls
  182  below the original revenue projection for that county fiscal
  183  year.
  184         2.To provide funding for an emergency, as defined in s.
  185  252.34(4). The emergency must have been declared by the
  186  Governor, pursuant to s. 252.36, or otherwise declared by law.
  187         3. If, after the corporation has notified the Legislature
  188  of a deficit under s. 28.35(2)(f)11., there remains a deficit
  189  between the total revenues available and the total budget from
  190  the current county fiscal year, to provide funds in the
  191  development of the total aggregate budget of the clerks of court
  192  to ensure that a minimum continuation budget is met. For
  193  purposes of this sub-paragraph, a minimum continuation budget is
  194  the budget approved for the current county fiscal year or some
  195  lesser amount adopted by the corporation.
  196         (d) To use the reserve, the corporation must request a
  197  budget amendment pursuant to s. 216.292.
  198         (5)(4) The corporation may approve increases or decreases
  199  to the previously authorized budgets approved for individual
  200  clerks of the court pursuant to s. 28.35 for court-related
  201  functions, if:
  202         (a) The additional budget authority is necessary to pay the
  203  cost of performing new or additional functions required by
  204  changes in law or court rule; or
  205         (b) The additional budget authority is necessary to pay the
  206  cost of supporting increases in the number of judges or
  207  magistrates authorized by the Legislature, or for increases in
  208  the use of hearing officers and senior judges assigned by the
  209  courts.
  210         Section 4. Effective upon this act becoming a law, section
  211  28.37, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:

  218  service charges, and court costs collected by the clerks of the
  219  court, and from adequate and appropriate supplemental funding
  220  from state revenues as appropriated by the Legislature.
  221         (2) DEFINITIONS.—As used in this section, the term:
  222         (a) “Cumulative excess” means revenues derived from fines,
