806 | Section 37. In order to implement specific appropriations |
807 | for salaries and benefits in the 2010-2011 General |
808 | Appropriations Act, the intent of the Legislature is to provide |
809 | flexibility to agency heads over personnel management to |
810 | maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of agency operations. |
811 | The Legislature recognizes that the state is facing a critical |
812 | fiscal situation unprecedented in the last quarter century. |
813 | During this time of budgetary shortfall, it is in the best |
814 | interest of the state to ensure that the state's resources be |
815 | used in the most efficient and prudent manner, while maintaining |
816 | the critical missions of the state. Further, the Legislature |
817 | recognizes that the agency heads are uniquely positioned to |
818 | determine how to best manage their agency's human resources |
819 | given the constraints associated with a reduction in the salary |
820 | and benefit appropriation. Notwithstanding specific provisions |
821 | of chapters 110, 112, 216, and 447, Florida Statutes, to the |
822 | contrary, and for the fiscal year 2010-2011 only, agency heads |

824 | individual or groups of employees, reclassify positions, and |
825 | provide retention adjustments or bonuses to high-performing |
826 | staff. For the purpose of the authority granted by this section, |
827 | the term "agency head" shall include the term as defined in s. |

947 | against trust funds. Proprietary funds are excluded from the |
948 | requirement of using an administrative trust fund. |
949 | d. Grants and donations trust fund, for use as a |
950 | depository for funds to be used for allowable grant or donor |
951 | agreement activities funded by restricted contractual revenue |
952 | from private and public nonfederal sources. |

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

963 | accounting to use existing trust funds consistent with the |
964 | requirements of this subparagraph. If an agency does not have |
965 | trust funds listed in this subparagraph and cannot make such |
966 | adjustment, the agency must recommend the creation of the |
967 | necessary trust funds to the Legislature no later than the next |

973 | relating to the appropriation of funds and to the applicable |
974 | laws relating to the deposit or expenditure of moneys in the |
975 | State Treasury. |

977 | use of trust funds to specific purposes, unappropriated cash |

979 | Legislature for transfer to the Budget Stabilization Fund and |
980 | General Revenue Fund in the General Appropriations Act. |
981 | b. This subparagraph does not apply to trust funds |

1001 | authorized in the 2010-2011 General Appropriations Act, and |
1002 | pursuant to the requirements of s. 215.98, Florida Statutes, the |
1003 | Legislature determines that the authorization and issuance of |
1004 | debt for the 2010-2011 fiscal year should be implemented and is |
1005 | in the best interest of the state and necessary to address a |
1006 | critical state emergency. |
1007 | Section 42. In order to implement the funds appropriated |
1008 | in the 2010-2011 General Appropriations Act for state employee |
1009 | travel, the funds appropriated to each state agency, which may |
1010 | be used for travel by state employees, shall be limited during |
1011 | the 2010-2011 fiscal year to travel for activities that are |
1012 | critical to each state agency's mission. Funds may not be used |
1013 | to pay for travel by state employees to foreign countries, other |
1014 | states, conferences, staff-training activities, or other |
1015 | administrative functions unless the agency head has approved in |
1016 | writing that such activities are critical to the agency's |
1017 | mission. The agency head must consider the use of |
1018 | teleconferencing and other forms of electronic communication to |
1019 | meet the needs of the proposed activity before approving |
1020 | mission-critical travel. This section does not apply to travel |
1021 | for law enforcement purposes, military purposes, emergency |
1022 | management activities, or public health activities. This section |
1023 | expires July 1, 2011. |
1024 | Section 43. A section of this act that implements a |
1025 | specific appropriation or specifically identified proviso |
1026 | language in the 2010-2011 General Appropriations Act is void if |
1027 | the specific appropriation or specifically identified proviso |
1028 | language is vetoed. A section of this act that implements more |
1029 | than one specific appropriation or more than one portion of |
1030 | specifically identified proviso language in the 2010-2011 |
1031 | General Appropriations Act is void if all the specific |
1032 | appropriations or portions of specifically identified proviso |
1033 | language are vetoed. |
1034 | Section 44. If any other act passed during the 2010 |
1035 | Regular Session contains a provision that is substantively the |
1036 | same as a provision in this act, but that removes or is |
1037 | otherwise not subject to the future repeal applied to such |
1038 | provision by this act, the Legislature intends that the |
1039 | provision in the other act takes precedence and continues to |
1040 | operate, notwithstanding the future repeal provided by this act. |
1041 | Section 45. If any provision of this act or its |
1042 | application to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the |
1043 | invalidity does not affect other provisions or applications of |
1044 | the act which can be given effect without the invalid provision |
1045 | or application, and to this end the provisions of this act are |
1046 | severable. |
1047 | Section 46. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this |
1048 | act and except for this section, which shall take effect June |
1049 | 29, 2010, this act shall take effect July 1, 2010; or, if this |
