  376  care lead agencies, Children’s Medical Services, and community
  377  based care provider organizations; faculty from the institute
  378  consisting of public and private universities offering degrees
  379  in social work established pursuant to s. 1004.615; or any other

  382  director. The majority of the team must reside in judicial

  391         Section 15. Paragraph (t) of subsection (2) and subsections
  392  (5) and (6) of section 39.202, Florida Statutes, are amended to
  393  read:
  394         39.202 Confidentiality of reports and records in cases of
  395  child abuse or neglect.—
  396         (2) Except as provided in subsection (4), access to such
  397  records, excluding the name of the reporter which shall be
  398  released only as provided in subsection (5), shall be granted

  400         (t) Persons with whom the department is seeking to place
  401  the child or to whom placement has been granted, including

  410  abandonment, or neglect may not be released to any person other
  411  than employees of the department responsible for child
  412  protective services, the central abuse hotline, law enforcement,
  413  the Child Protection Team child protection team, or the
  414  appropriate state attorney, without the written consent of the

  416  person reporting child abuse, abandonment, or neglect when
  417  deemed necessary by the court, the state attorney, or the
  418  department, provided the fact that such person made the report
  419  is not disclosed. Any person who reports a case of child abuse
  420  or neglect may, at the time he or she makes the report, request
  421  that the department notify him or her that a child protective
  422  investigation occurred as a result of the report. Any person
  423  specifically listed in s. 39.201(1) who makes a report in his or
  424  her official capacity may also request a written summary of the

  431  456.057, and shall not be disclosed, except, upon request, to
  432  the state attorney, law enforcement, the department, and
  433  necessary professionals, in furtherance of the treatment or
  434  additional evaluative needs of the child, by order of the court,
  435  or to health plan payors, limited to that information used for
  436  insurance reimbursement purposes.
  437         Reviser’s note.—Paragraph (2)(t) is amended to delete a
  438         reference to s. 39.523 to conform to the fact that that
  439         section now focuses on placement in out-of-home care; prior
  440         to substantial rewording of s. 39.523 by s. 14, ch. 2017
  441         151, Laws of Florida, the text related to placement in
  442         residential group care. Subsections (5) and (6) are amended
  443         to conform to s. 32, ch. 2018-103, Laws of Florida, which
  444         directed the Division of Law Revision and Information to
  445         prepare a reviser’s bill “to capitalize each word of the
  446         term ‘child protection team’ wherever it occurs in the
  447         Florida Statutes.”
  448         Section 16. Paragraph (a) of subsection (9) and paragraph
  449  (c) of subsection (14) of section 39.301, Florida Statutes, are
  450  amended to read:
  451         39.301 Initiation of protective investigations.—
  452         (9)(a) For each report received from the central abuse
  453  hotline and accepted for investigation, the department or the
  454  sheriff providing child protective investigative services under
  455  s. 39.3065, shall perform the following child protective
  456  investigation activities to determine child safety:
  457         1. Conduct a review of all relevant, available information
  458  specific to the child and family and alleged maltreatment;
  459  family child welfare history; local, state, and federal criminal
  460  records checks; and requests for law enforcement assistance
  461  provided by the abuse hotline. Based on a review of available
  462  information, including the allegations in the current report, a
  463  determination shall be made as to whether immediate consultation
  464  should occur with law enforcement, the Child Protection Team
  465  child protection team, a domestic violence shelter or advocate,
  466  or a substance abuse or mental health professional. Such
  467  consultations should include discussion as to whether a joint
  468  response is necessary and feasible. A determination shall be
  469  made as to whether the person making the report should be
  470  contacted before the face-to-face interviews with the child and
  471  family members.
  472         2. Conduct face-to-face interviews with the child; other
  473  siblings, if any; and the parents, legal custodians, or
  474  caregivers.
  475         3. Assess the child’s residence, including a determination
  476  of the composition of the family and household, including the
  477  name, address, date of birth, social security number, sex, and
  478  race of each child named in the report; any siblings or other
  479  children in the same household or in the care of the same
  480  adults; the parents, legal custodians, or caregivers; and any
  481  other adults in the same household.
  482         4. Determine whether there is any indication that any child
  483  in the family or household has been abused, abandoned, or
  484  neglected; the nature and extent of present or prior injuries,
  485  abuse, or neglect, and any evidence thereof; and a determination
  486  as to the person or persons apparently responsible for the
  487  abuse, abandonment, or neglect, including the name, address,
  488  date of birth, social security number, sex, and race of each
  489  such person.
  490         5. Complete assessment of immediate child safety for each
  491  child based on available records, interviews, and observations
  492  with all persons named in subparagraph 2. and appropriate
  493  collateral contacts, which may include other professionals. The
  494  department’s child protection investigators are hereby
  495  designated a criminal justice agency for the purpose of
  496  accessing criminal justice information to be used for enforcing
  497  this state’s laws concerning the crimes of child abuse,
  498  abandonment, and neglect. This information shall be used solely
  499  for purposes supporting the detection, apprehension,
  500  prosecution, pretrial release, posttrial release, or
  501  rehabilitation of criminal offenders or persons accused of the
  502  crimes of child abuse, abandonment, or neglect and may not be
  503  further disseminated or used for any other purpose.
  504         6. Document the present and impending dangers to each child
  505  based on the identification of inadequate protective capacity
  506  through utilization of a standardized safety assessment
  507  instrument. If present or impending danger is identified, the
  508  child protective investigator must implement a safety plan or
  509  take the child into custody. If present danger is identified and
  510  the child is not removed, the child protective investigator
  511  shall create and implement a safety plan before leaving the home
  512  or the location where there is present danger. If impending
  513  danger is identified, the child protective investigator shall
  514  create and implement a safety plan as soon as necessary to
  515  protect the safety of the child. The child protective
  516  investigator may modify the safety plan if he or she identifies
  517  additional impending danger.
  518         a. If the child protective investigator implements a safety
  519  plan, the plan must be specific, sufficient, feasible, and
  520  sustainable in response to the realities of the present or
  521  impending danger. A safety plan may be an in-home plan or an
  522  out-of-home plan, or a combination of both. A safety plan may
  523  include tasks or responsibilities for a parent, caregiver, or
  524  legal custodian. However, a safety plan may not rely on
  525  promissory commitments by the parent, caregiver, or legal
  526  custodian who is currently not able to protect the child or on
  527  services that are not available or will not result in the safety
  528  of the child. A safety plan may not be implemented if for any
  529  reason the parents, guardian, or legal custodian lacks the
  530  capacity or ability to comply with the plan. If the department
  531  is not able to develop a plan that is specific, sufficient,
  532  feasible, and sustainable, the department shall file a shelter
  533  petition. A child protective investigator shall implement
  534  separate safety plans for the perpetrator of domestic violence,
  535  if the investigator, using reasonable efforts, can locate the
  536  perpetrator to implement a safety plan, and for the parent who
  537  is a victim of domestic violence as defined in s. 741.28.
  538  Reasonable efforts to locate a perpetrator include, but are not
  539  limited to, a diligent search pursuant to the same requirements
  540  as in s. 39.503. If the perpetrator of domestic violence is not
  541  the parent, guardian, or legal custodian of any child in the
  542  home and if the department does not intend to file a shelter
  543  petition or dependency petition that will assert allegations
  544  against the perpetrator as a parent of a child in the home, the
  545  child protective investigator shall seek issuance of an
  546  injunction authorized by s. 39.504 to implement a safety plan
  547  for the perpetrator and impose any other conditions to protect
  548  the child. The safety plan for the parent who is a victim of
  549  domestic violence may not be shared with the perpetrator. If any
  550  party to a safety plan fails to comply with the safety plan
  551  resulting in the child being unsafe, the department shall file a
  552  shelter petition.
  553         b. The child protective investigator shall collaborate with
  554  the community-based care lead agency in the development of the
  555  safety plan as necessary to ensure that the safety plan is
  556  specific, sufficient, feasible, and sustainable. The child
  557  protective investigator shall identify services necessary for
  558  the successful implementation of the safety plan. The child
  559  protective investigator and the community-based care lead agency
  560  shall mobilize service resources to assist all parties in
  561  complying with the safety plan. The community-based care lead
  562  agency shall prioritize safety plan services to families who
  563  have multiple risk factors, including, but not limited to, two
  564  or more of the following:
  565         (I) The parent or legal custodian is of young age;
  566         (II) The parent or legal custodian, or an adult currently
  567  living in or frequently visiting the home, has a history of
  568  substance abuse, mental illness, or domestic violence;
  569         (III) The parent or legal custodian, or an adult currently
  570  living in or frequently visiting the home, has been previously
  571  found to have physically or sexually abused a child;
  572         (IV) The parent or legal custodian or an adult currently
  573  living in or frequently visiting the home has been the subject
  574  of multiple allegations by reputable reports of abuse or
  575  neglect;
  576         (V) The child is physically or developmentally disabled; or
  577         (VI) The child is 3 years of age or younger.
  578         c. The child protective investigator shall monitor the
  579  implementation of the plan to ensure the child’s safety until
  580  the case is transferred to the lead agency at which time the
  581  lead agency shall monitor the implementation.
  582         (14)
  583         (c) The department, in consultation with the judiciary,
  584  shall adopt by rule:
  585         1. Criteria that are factors requiring that the department
  586  take the child into custody, petition the court as provided in
  587  this chapter, or, if the child is not taken into custody or a
  588  petition is not filed with the court, conduct an administrative
  589  review. Such factors must include, but are not limited to,
  590  noncompliance with a safety plan or the case plan developed by
  591  the department, and the family under this chapter, and prior
  592  abuse reports with findings that involve the child, the child’s
  593  sibling, or the child’s caregiver.
  594         2. Requirements that if after an administrative review the
  595  department determines not to take the child into custody or
  596  petition the court, the department shall document the reason for
  597  its decision in writing and include it in the investigative
  598  file. For all cases that were accepted by the local law
  599  enforcement agency for criminal investigation pursuant to
  600  subsection (2), the department must include in the file written
  601  documentation that the administrative review included input from
  602  law enforcement. In addition, for all cases that must be
  603  referred to Child Protection Teams child protection teams
  604  pursuant to s. 39.303(4) and (5), the file must include written
  605  documentation that the administrative review included the
  606  results of the team’s evaluation.
  607         Reviser’s note.—Amended to conform to s. 32, ch. 2018-103, Laws
  608         of Florida, which directed the Division of Law Revision and

  971  services, given the family’s eligibility for services; services
  972  that are effective in addressing conditions leading to medical
  973  neglect allegations; and services that would enable the child to
  974  safely remain at home. Any services that are available and
  975  effective shall be provided.

 3667  criminal division are not to be reported under this
 3668  subparagraph.
 3669         Reviser’s note.—Paragraph (2)(r) is amended to correct an
 3670         erroneous cross-reference. Section 951.21 relates to gain
 3671         time for good conduct for county prisoners; s. 951.22
 3672         relates to articles of contraband in county detention
 3673         facilities. Paragraph (2)(y) is amended to confirm the
 3674         editorial insertion of the word “is” to improve clarity.
 3675         Paragraph (3)(a) is amended to confirm the editorial
 3676         insertion of the word “of” to improve clarity.
 3677         Section 109. Paragraph (c) of subsection (1) of section
 3678  934.255, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:
 3679         934.255 Subpoenas in investigations of sexual offenses.—
 3680         (1) As used in this section, the term:
 3681         (c) “Sexual abuse of a child” means a criminal offense
 3682  based on any conduct described in s. 39.01(77) 39.01(71).
 3683         Reviser’s note.—Amended to conform to the redesignation of
 3684         subsections within s. 39.01 by s. 1, ch. 2018-103, Laws of
 3685         Florida. Section 39.01(77) defines the term “sexual abuse
 3686         of a child”; s. 39.01(71) defines the term “protective
 3687         supervision.”
 3688         Section 110. Paragraph (a) of subsection (2) of section
 3689  943.0585, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:
 3690         943.0585 Court-ordered expunction of criminal history
 3691  records.—The courts of this state have jurisdiction over their
 3692  own procedures, including the maintenance, expunction, and
 3693  correction of judicial records containing criminal history
 3694  information to the extent such procedures are not inconsistent
 3695  with the conditions, responsibilities, and duties established by
 3696  this section. Any court of competent jurisdiction may order a
 3697  criminal justice agency to expunge the criminal history record
 3698  of a minor or an adult who complies with the requirements of
 3699  this section. The court shall not order a criminal justice
 3700  agency to expunge a criminal history record until the person
 3701  seeking to expunge a criminal history record has applied for and
 3702  received a certificate of eligibility for expunction pursuant to
 3703  subsection (2) or subsection (5). A criminal history record that
 3704  relates to a violation of s. 393.135, s. 394.4593, s. 787.025,
 3705  chapter 794, former s. 796.03, s. 800.04, s. 810.14, s. 817.034,
 3706  s. 825.1025, s. 827.071, chapter 839, s. 847.0133, s. 847.0135,
 3707  s. 847.0145, s. 893.135, s. 916.1075, a violation enumerated in
 3708  s. 907.041, or any violation specified as a predicate offense
 3709  for registration as a sexual predator pursuant to s. 775.21,
 3710  without regard to whether that offense alone is sufficient to
 3711  require such registration, or for registration as a sexual
 3712  offender pursuant to s. 943.0435, may not be expunged, without
 3713  regard to whether adjudication was withheld, if the defendant
 3714  was found guilty of or pled guilty or nolo contendere to the
 3715  offense, or if the defendant, as a minor, was found to have
 3716  committed, or pled guilty or nolo contendere to committing, the
 3717  offense as a delinquent act. The court may only order expunction
 3718  of a criminal history record pertaining to one arrest or one
 3719  incident of alleged criminal activity, except as provided in
 3720  this section. The court may, at its sole discretion, order the
 3721  expunction of a criminal history record pertaining to more than
 3722  one arrest if the additional arrests directly relate to the
 3723  original arrest. If the court intends to order the expunction of
 3724  records pertaining to such additional arrests, such intent must
 3725  be specified in the order. A criminal justice agency may not
 3726  expunge any record pertaining to such additional arrests if the
 3727  order to expunge does not articulate the intention of the court
 3728  to expunge a record pertaining to more than one arrest. This
 3729  section does not prevent the court from ordering the expunction
 3730  of only a portion of a criminal history record pertaining to one
 3731  arrest or one incident of alleged criminal activity.
 3732  Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, a criminal justice
 3733  agency may comply with laws, court orders, and official requests
 3734  of other jurisdictions relating to expunction, correction, or
 3735  confidential handling of criminal history records or information
 3736  derived therefrom. This section does not confer any right to the
 3737  expunction of any criminal history record, and any request for
 3738  expunction of a criminal history record may be denied at the
 3739  sole discretion of the court.
 3740         (2) CERTIFICATE OF ELIGIBILITY FOR EXPUNCTION.—Prior to
 3741  petitioning the court to expunge a criminal history record, a
 3742  person seeking to expunge a criminal history record shall apply
 3743  to the department for a certificate of eligibility for
 3744  expunction. The department shall, by rule adopted pursuant to
 3745  chapter 120, establish procedures pertaining to the application
 3746  for and issuance of certificates of eligibility for expunction.
 3747  A certificate of eligibility for expunction is valid for 12
 3748  months after the date stamped on the certificate when issued by
 3749  the department. After that time, the petitioner must reapply to
 3750  the department for a new certificate of eligibility. Eligibility
 3751  for a renewed certification of eligibility must be based on the
 3752  status of the applicant and the law in effect at the time of the
 3753  renewal application. The department shall issue a certificate of
 3754  eligibility for expunction to a person who is the subject of a
 3755  criminal history record if that person:
 3756         (a) Has obtained, and submitted to the department, a
 3757  written, certified statement from the appropriate state attorney
 3758  or statewide prosecutor which indicates:
 3759         1. That an indictment, information, or other charging
 3760  document was not filed or issued in the case.
 3761         2. That an indictment, information, or other charging
 3762  document, if filed or issued in the case, was dismissed or nolle
 3763  prosequi by the state attorney or statewide prosecutor, or was
 3764  dismissed by a court of competent jurisdiction, or that a
 3765  judgment of acquittal was rendered by a judge, or that a verdict
 3766  of not guilty was rendered by a judge or jury.
 3767         3. That the criminal history record does not relate to a
 3768  violation of s. 393.135, s. 394.4593, s. 787.025, chapter 794,
 3769  former s. 796.03, s. 800.04, s. 810.14, s. 817.034, s. 825.1025,
 3770  s. 827.071, chapter 839, s. 847.0133, s. 847.0135, s. 847.0145,
 3771  s. 893.135, s. 916.1075, a violation enumerated in s. 907.041,
 3772  or any violation specified as a predicate offense for
 3773  registration as a sexual predator pursuant to s. 775.21, without
 3774  regard to whether that offense alone is sufficient to require
 3775  such registration, or for registration as a sexual offender
 3776  pursuant to s. 943.0435, where the defendant was found guilty
 3777  of, or pled guilty or nolo contendere to any such offense, or
 3778  that the defendant, as a minor, was found to have committed, or
 3779  pled guilty or nolo contendere to committing, such an offense as
 3780  a delinquent act, without regard to whether adjudication was
 3781  withheld.
 3782         Reviser’s note.—Amended to confirm the editorial deletion of the
 3783         comma and restoration of the word “or” after the words
 3784         “state attorney or statewide prosecutor” and the editorial
 3785         deletion of the word “or” after the words “court of
 3786         competent jurisdiction” to improve clarity.
 3787         Section 111. Subsection (4) of section 943.1758, Florida
 3788  Statutes, is amended to read:
 3789         943.1758 Curriculum revision for diverse populations;
 3790  skills training.—
 3791         (4) By October 1, 2001, The instruction in the subject of
 3792  interpersonal skills relating to diverse populations shall
 3793  consist of a module developed by the commission on the topic of
 3794  discriminatory profiling.
 3795         Reviser’s note.—Amended to delete obsolete language.
 3796         Section 112. Subsection (1) of section 944.115, Florida
 3797  Statutes, is amended to read:
 3798         944.115 Smoking prohibited inside state correctional
 3799  facilities.—
 3800         (1) The purpose of this section is to protect the health,
 3801  comfort, and environment of employees of the Department of
 3802  Corrections, employees of privately operated correctional
 3803  facilities, and inmates by prohibiting inmates from using
 3804  tobacco products inside any office or building within state
 3805  correctional facilities, and by ensuring that employees and
 3806  visitors do not use tobacco products inside any office or
 3807  building within state correctional facilities. Scientific
 3808  evidence links the use of tobacco products with numerous
 3809  significant health risks. The use of tobacco products by
 3810  inmates, employees, or visitors is contrary to efforts by the
 3811  Department of Corrections to reduce the cost of inmate health
 3812  care and to limit unnecessary litigation. The Department of
 3813  Corrections and the private vendors operating correctional
 3814  facilities shall make smoking-cessation assistance available to
 3815  inmates in order to implement this section. The Department of
 3816  Corrections and the private vendors operating correctional
 3817  facilities shall implement this section as soon as possible, and
 3818  all provisions of this section must be fully implemented by
 3819  January 1, 2000.
 3820         Reviser’s note.—Amended to delete obsolete language.
 3821         Section 113. Subsection (10) of section 985.48, Florida
 3822  Statutes, is amended to read:
 3823         985.48 Juvenile sexual offender commitment programs; sexual
 3824  abuse intervention networks.—
 3825         (10) A Child Protection Team child protection team or the
 3826  state attorney in any judicial circuit may establish a sexual
 3827  abuse intervention network to assist in identifying,
 3828  investigating, prosecuting, treating, and preventing sexual
 3829  abuse with special emphasis on juvenile sexual offenders and
 3830  victims of sexual abuse.
 3831         Reviser’s note.—Amended to conform to s. 32, ch. 2018-103, Laws
 3832         of Florida, which directed the Division of Law Revision and
 3833         Information to prepare a reviser’s bill “to capitalize each
 3834         word of the term ‘child protection team’ wherever it occurs
 3835         in the Florida Statutes.”
 3836         Section 114. Paragraph (c) of subsection (8) of section
 3837  1002.33, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:
 3838         1002.33 Charter schools.—
 3839         (8) CAUSES FOR NONRENEWAL OR TERMINATION OF CHARTER.—
 3840         (c) A charter may be terminated immediately if the sponsor
 3841  sets forth in writing the particular facts and circumstances
 3842  indicating that an immediate and serious danger to the health,
 3843  safety, or welfare of the charter school’s students exists. The
 3844  sponsor’s determination is subject to the procedures set forth
 3845  in paragraph paragraphs (b) and (c), except that the hearing may
 3846  take place after the charter has been terminated. The sponsor
 3847  shall notify in writing the charter school’s governing board,
 3848  the charter school principal, and the department if a charter is
 3849  terminated immediately. The sponsor shall clearly identify the
 3850  specific issues that resulted in the immediate termination and
 3851  provide evidence of prior notification of issues resulting in
 3852  the immediate termination when appropriate. Upon receiving
 3853  written notice from the sponsor, the charter school’s governing
 3854  board has 10 calendar days to request a hearing. A requested
 3855  hearing must be expedited and the final order must be issued
 3856  within 60 days after the date of request. The sponsor shall
 3857  assume operation of the charter school throughout the pendency
 3858  of the hearing under paragraph paragraphs (b) and (c) unless the
 3859  continued operation of the charter school would materially
 3860  threaten the health, safety, or welfare of the students. Failure
 3861  by the sponsor to assume and continue operation of the charter
 3862  school shall result in the awarding of reasonable costs and
 3863  attorney’s fees to the charter school if the charter school
 3864  prevails on appeal.
 3865         Reviser’s note.—Amended to delete references to former paragraph
 3866         (c), which was amended and merged into paragraph (b) by s.

 3869  Statutes, is amended to read:

 4374  longitudinal student outcomes, and improving college readiness
 4375  and articulation. All public educational institutions shall
 4376  annually provide data from the prior year to the K-20 data
 4377  warehouse in a format based on data elements identified by the
 4378  commissioner.
 4379         (b) Colleges and universities eligible to participate in

 4392         Reviser’s note.—Amended to delete obsolete language and to
 4393         conform to s. 25, ch. 2018-4, Laws of Florida, which
 4394         directed the Division of Law Revision and Information “to
 4395         substitute the term ‘Effective Access to Student Education
 4396         Grant Program’ for ‘Florida Resident Access Grant Program’
 4397         and the term ‘Effective Access to Student Education grant’
 4398         for ‘Florida resident access grant’ wherever those terms
 4399         appear in the Florida Statutes.”
 4400         Section 129. Subsections (1), (2), (3), (4), and (5) of
 4401  section 1009.89, Florida Statutes, are amended to read:
 4402         1009.89 The William L. Boyd, IV, Effective Access to
 4403  Student Education Florida resident access grants.—
 4404         (1) The Legislature finds and declares that independent
 4405  nonprofit colleges and universities eligible to participate in
 4406  the William L. Boyd, IV, Effective Access to Student Education
 4407  Florida Resident Access Grant Program are an integral part of
 4408  the higher education system in this state and that a significant
 4409  number of state residents choose this form of higher education.
 4410  The Legislature further finds that a strong and viable system of
 4411  independent nonprofit colleges and universities reduces the tax
 4412  burden on the citizens of the state. Because the William L.
 4413  Boyd, IV, Effective Access to Student Education Florida Resident
 4414  Access Grant Program is not related to a student’s financial
 4415  need or other criteria upon which financial aid programs are
 4416  based, it is the intent of the Legislature that the William L.
 4417  Boyd, IV, Effective Access to Student Education Florida Resident
 4418  Access Grant Program not be considered a financial aid program
 4419  but rather a tuition assistance program for its citizens.
 4420         (2) The William L. Boyd, IV, Effective Access to Student
 4421  Education Florida Resident Access Grant Program shall be
 4422  administered by the Department of Education. The State Board of
 4423  Education shall adopt rules for the administration of the
 4424  program.
 4425         (3) The department shall issue through the program a
 4426  William L. Boyd, IV, Effective Access to Student Education
 4427  Florida resident access grant to any full-time degree-seeking
 4428  undergraduate student registered at an independent nonprofit
 4429  college or university which is located in and chartered by the
 4430  state; which is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the
 4431  Southern Association of Colleges and Schools; which grants
 4432  baccalaureate degrees; which is not a state university or
 4433  Florida College System institution; and which has a secular
 4434  purpose, so long as the receipt of state aid by students at the
 4435  institution would not have the primary effect of advancing or
 4436  impeding religion or result in an excessive entanglement between
 4437  the state and any religious sect. Any independent college or
 4438  university that was eligible to receive tuition vouchers on
 4439  January 1, 1989, and which continues to meet the criteria under
 4440  which its eligibility was established, shall remain eligible to
 4441  receive William L. Boyd, IV, Effective Access to Student
 4442  Education Florida resident access grant payments.
 4443         (4) A person is eligible to receive such William L. Boyd,
 4444  IV, Effective Access to Student Education Florida resident
 4445  access grant if:
 4446         (a) He or she meets the general requirements, including
 4447  residency, for student eligibility as provided in s. 1009.40,
 4448  except as otherwise provided in this section; and
 4449         (b)1. He or she is enrolled as a full-time undergraduate
 4450  student at an eligible college or university;
 4451         2. He or she is not enrolled in a program of study leading
 4452  to a degree in theology or divinity; and
 4453         3. He or she is making satisfactory academic progress as
 4454  defined by the college or university in which he or she is
 4455  enrolled.
 4456         (5)(a) Funding for the William L. Boyd, IV, Effective
 4457  Access to Student Education Florida Resident Access Grant
 4458  Program for eligible institutions shall be as provided in the
 4459  General Appropriations Act. The William L. Boyd, IV, Effective
 4460  Access to Student Education Florida resident access grant may be
 4461  paid on a prorated basis in advance of the registration period.
 4462  The department shall make such payments to the college or
 4463  university in which the student is enrolled for credit to the
 4464  student’s account for payment of tuition and fees. Institutions
 4465  shall certify to the department the amount of funds disbursed to
 4466  each student and shall remit to the department any undisbursed
 4467  advances or refunds within 60 days of the end of regular
 4468  registration. A student is not eligible to receive the award for
 4469  more than 9 semesters or 14 quarters, except as otherwise
 4470  provided in s. 1009.40(3).
 4471         (b) If the combined amount of the William L. Boyd, IV,
 4472  Effective Access to Student Education Florida resident access
 4473  grant issued pursuant to this act and all other scholarships and
 4474  grants for tuition or fees exceeds the amount charged to the
 4475  student for tuition and fees, the department shall reduce the
 4476  William L. Boyd, IV, Effective Access to Student Education
 4477  Florida resident access grant issued pursuant to this act by an
 4478  amount equal to such excess.
 4479         Reviser’s note.—Amended to conform to s. 25, ch. 2018-4, Laws of
 4480         Florida, which directed the Division of Law Revision and
 4481         Information “to substitute the term ‘Effective Access to
 4482         Student Education Grant Program’ for ‘Florida Resident
 4483         Access Grant Program’ and the term ‘Effective Access to
 4484         Student Education grant’ for ‘Florida resident access
 4485         grant’ wherever those terms appear in the Florida
 4486         Statutes.”
 4487         Section 130. Subsections (2) and (5) of section 1011.69,
 4488  Florida Statutes, are amended to read:
 4489         1011.69 Equity in School-Level Funding Act.—
 4490         (2) Beginning in the 2003-2004 fiscal year, District school
 4491  boards shall allocate to schools within the district an average
 4492  of 90 percent of the funds generated by all schools and
 4493  guarantee that each school receives at least 80 percent, except
 4494  schools participating in the Principal Autonomy Pilot Program
 4495  Initiative under s. 1011.6202 are guaranteed to receive at least
 4496  90 percent, of the funds generated by that school based upon the
 4497  Florida Education Finance Program as provided in s. 1011.62 and
 4498  the General Appropriations Act, including gross state and local
 4499  funds, discretionary lottery funds, and funds from the school
 4500  district’s current operating discretionary millage levy. Total
 4501  funding for each school shall be recalculated during the year to
 4502  reflect the revised calculations under the Florida Education
 4503  Finance Program by the state and the actual weighted full-time
 4504  equivalent students reported by the school during the full-time
 4505  equivalent student survey periods designated by the Commissioner
 4506  of Education. If the district school board is providing programs
 4507  or services to students funded by federal funds, any eligible
 4508  students enrolled in the schools in the district shall be
 4509  provided federal funds.
 4510         (5) After providing Title I, Part A, Basic funds to schools
 4511  above the 75 percent poverty threshold, which may include high
 4512  schools above the 50 percent threshold as permitted by federal
 4513  law, school districts shall provide any remaining Title I, Part
 4514  A, Basic funds directly to all eligible schools as provided in
 4515  this subsection. For purposes of this subsection, an eligible
 4516  school is a school that is eligible to receive Title I funds,
 4517  including a charter school. The threshold for identifying
 4518  eligible schools may not exceed the threshold established by a
 4519  school district for the 2016-2017 school year or the statewide
 4520  percentage of economically disadvantaged students, as determined
 4521  annually.
 4522         (a) Prior to the allocation of Title I funds to eligible
 4523  schools, a school district may withhold funds only as follows:
 4524         1. One percent for parent involvement, in addition to the
 4525  one percent the district must reserve under federal law for
 4526  allocations to eligible schools for parent involvement;
 4527         2. A necessary and reasonable amount for administration
 4528  which includes the district’s indirect cost rate, not to exceed
 4529  a total of 10 percent;
 4530         3. A reasonable and necessary amount to provide:
 4531         a. Homeless programs;
 4532         b. Delinquent and neglected programs;
 4533         c. Prekindergarten programs and activities;
 4534         d. Private school equitable services; and
 4535         e. Transportation for foster care children to their school
 4536  of origin or choice programs; and
 4537         4. A necessary and reasonable amount, not to exceed 1
 4538  percent, for eligible schools to provide educational services in
 4539  accordance with the approved Title I plan.
 4540         Reviser’s note.—Subsection (2) is amended to delete obsolete
 4541         language and to conform to the renaming of the Principal
 4542         Autonomy Pilot Program Initiative created in s. 1011.6202
 4543         as the Principal Autonomy Program Initiative by s. 30, ch.
 4544         2018-6, Laws of Florida. Paragraph (5)(a) is amended to
 4545         confirm the editorial restoration of the word “and” to
 4546         improve clarity.
 4547         Section 131. Subsection (1) of section 1011.71, Florida
 4548  Statutes, is amended to read:
 4549         1011.71 District school tax.—
 4550         (1) If the district school tax is not provided in the
 4551  General Appropriations Act or the substantive bill implementing
 4552  the General Appropriations Act, each district school board
 4553  desiring to participate in the state allocation of funds for
 4554  current operation as prescribed by s. 1011.62(18) 1011.62(16)
 4555  shall levy on the taxable value for school purposes of the
 4556  district, exclusive of millage voted under s. 9(b) or s. 12,
 4557  Art. VII of the State Constitution, a millage rate not to exceed
 4558  the amount certified by the commissioner as the minimum millage
 4559  rate necessary to provide the district required local effort for

 4565  levy.
 4566         Reviser’s note.—Amended to confirm the editorial substitution of
 4567         a reference to s. 1011.62(18) for a reference to s.
 4568         1011.62(16) in s. 1011.71(1), as amended by s. 110, ch.

 4623         Section 133. Subsection (4) of section 1012.584, Florida
 4624  Statutes, is amended to read:
