935extent possible, each agency shall use the following trust funds
936as described in this subparagraph for day-to-day operations:

946in nature and funded by indirect cost earnings and assessments
947against trust funds. Proprietary funds are excluded from the

950depository for funds to be used for allowable grant or donor
951agreement activities funded by restricted contractual revenue
952from private and public nonfederal sources.

954depository for funds to be used pursuant to s. 216.272.

963accounting to use existing trust funds consistent with the
964requirements of this subparagraph. If an agency does not have
965trust funds listed in this subparagraph and cannot make such
966adjustment, the agency must recommend the creation of the

1001authorized in the 2010-2011 General Appropriations Act, and

1003Legislature determines that the authorization and issuance of
1004debt for the 2010-2011 fiscal year should be implemented and is
1005in the best interest of the state and necessary to address a
1006critical state emergency.

1008in the 2010-2011 General Appropriations Act for state employee

1011the 2010-2011 fiscal year to travel for activities that are
1012critical to each state agency's mission. Funds may not be used
1013to pay for travel by state employees to foreign countries, other
1014states, conferences, staff-training activities, or other
1015administrative functions unless the agency head has approved in
1016writing that such activities are critical to the agency's
1017mission. The agency head must consider the use of
1018teleconferencing and other forms of electronic communication to
1019meet the needs of the proposed activity before approving
1020mission-critical travel. This section does not apply to travel
1021for law enforcement purposes, military purposes, emergency
1022management activities, or public health activities. This section
1023expires July 1, 2011.
1024 Section 43. A section of this act that implements a
1025specific appropriation or specifically identified proviso
1026language in the 2010-2011 General Appropriations Act is void if

1030specifically identified proviso language in the 2010-2011
1031General Appropriations Act is void if all the specific
1032appropriations or portions of specifically identified proviso
1033language are vetoed.
1034 Section 44. If any other act passed during the 2010
1035Regular Session contains a provision that is substantively the
1036same as a provision in this act, but that removes or is
1037otherwise not subject to the future repeal applied to such
1038provision by this act, the Legislature intends that the
1039provision in the other act takes precedence and continues to
1040operate, notwithstanding the future repeal provided by this act.
1041 Section 45. If any provision of this act or its
1042application to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the
1043invalidity does not affect other provisions or applications of
1044the act which can be given effect without the invalid provision
1045or application, and to this end the provisions of this act are
1046severable.
1047 Section 46. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this
1048act and except for this section, which shall take effect June
104929, 2010, this act shall take effect July 1, 2010; or, if this
1050act fails to become a law until after that date, it shall take
