  680         (4)(a) The state board shall apply intensive intervention
  681  and support strategies tailored to the needs of schools earning
  682  two consecutive grades of “D” or a grade of “F.” In the first
  683  full school year after a school initially earns two consecutive
  684  grades of “D” or a grade of “F,” the school district must
  685  immediately implement intervention and support strategies
  686  prescribed in rule under paragraph (3)(c) and, by September 1,
  687  provide the department with the memorandum of understanding
  688  negotiated pursuant to s. 1001.42(21) and, by October 1, a
  689  district-managed turnaround plan for approval by the state
  690  board. The district-managed turnaround plan may include a
  691  proposal for the district to implement an extended school day, a
  692  summer program, or a combination of an extended school day and
  693  summer program. Upon approval by the state board, the school
  694  district must implement the plan for the remainder of the school
  695  year and continue the plan for 1 full school year. The state
  696  board may allow a school an additional year of implementation
  697  before the school must implement a turnaround option required
  698  under paragraph (b) if it determines that the school is likely
  699  to improve to a grade of “C” or higher after the first full
  700  school year of implementation.
  701         (b) Unless an additional year of implementation is provided
  702  pursuant to paragraph (a), a school that earns three consecutive
  703  grades below a “C” must implement one of the following:
  704         1. Reassign students to another school and monitor the
  705  progress of each reassigned student;
  706         2. Close the school and reopen the school as one or more
  707  charter schools, each with a governing board that has a
  708  demonstrated record of effectiveness; or
  709         3. Contract with an outside entity that has a demonstrated
  710  record of effectiveness to operate the school. An outside entity
  711  may include a district-managed charter school in which all
  712  instructional personnel are not employees of the school
  713  district, but are employees of an independent governing board
  714  composed of members who did not participate in the review or
  715  approval of the charter.
  716         (c) Implementation of the turnaround option is no longer
  717  required if the school improves to a grade of “C” or higher.
  718         (d) If a school earning two consecutive grades of “D” or a
  719  grade of “F” does not improve to a grade of “C” or higher after
  720  2 full school years of implementing the turnaround option
  721  selected by the school district under paragraph (b), the school
  722  district must implement another turnaround option.
  723  Implementation of the turnaround option must begin the school
  724  year following the implementation period of the existing
  725  turnaround option, unless the state board determines that the
  726  school is likely to improve to a grade of “C” or higher if
  727  additional time is provided to implement the existing turnaround
  728  option.

  765  (17) of section 1011.62, Florida Statutes, are amended, and
  766  subsections (20) and (21) are added to that section, to read:
  767         1011.62 Funds for operation of schools.—If the annual
  768  allocation from the Florida Education Finance Program to each
  769  district for operation of schools is not determined in the
  770  annual appropriations act or the substantive bill implementing
  771  the annual appropriations act, it shall be determined as
  772  follows:
  773         (11) VIRTUAL EDUCATION CONTRIBUTION.—The Legislature may
  774  annually provide in the Florida Education Finance Program a
  775  virtual education contribution. The amount of the virtual
  776  education contribution shall be the difference between the
  777  amount per FTE established in the General Appropriations Act for
  778  virtual education and the amount per FTE for each district and
  779  the Florida Virtual School, which may be calculated by taking
  780  the sum of the base FEFP allocation, the discretionary local
  781  effort, the state-funded discretionary contribution, the
  782  discretionary millage compression supplement, the research-based
  783  reading instruction allocation, best and brightest teacher and
  784  principal allocation, and the instructional materials
  785  allocation, and then dividing by the total unweighted FTE. This
  786  difference shall be multiplied by the virtual education
  787  unweighted FTE for programs and options identified in s.
  788  1002.455 and the Florida Virtual School and its franchises to
  789  equal the virtual education contribution and shall be included
  790  as a separate allocation in the funding formula.
  791         (13) FEDERALLY CONNECTED STUDENT SUPPLEMENT.—The federally
  792  connected student supplement is created to provide supplemental
  793  funding for school districts to support the education of
  794  students connected with federally owned military installations,
  795  National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) real
  796  property, and Indian lands. To be eligible for this supplement,
  797  the district must be eligible for federal Impact Aid Program
  798  funds under s. 8003 of Title VIII of the Elementary and
  799  Secondary Education Act of 1965. The supplement shall be
  800  allocated annually to each eligible school district in the
  801  General Appropriations Act. The supplement shall be the sum of
  802  the student allocation and an exempt property allocation.
  803         (d) The amount allocated for each eligible school district
  804  shall be recalculated during the year using actual student
  805  membership, as amended, from the most recent February survey and
  806  the tax-exempt valuation from the most recent assessment roll.
  807  Upon recalculation, if the total allocation is greater than the
  808  amount provided in the General Appropriations Act, it must be
  809  prorated to the level of the appropriation based on each
  810  district’s share of the total recalculated amount.
  811         (15) SAFE SCHOOLS ALLOCATION.—A safe schools allocation is
  812  created to provide funding to assist school districts in their
  813  compliance with s. 1006.07, with priority given to implementing
  814  the district’s school resource officer program pursuant to s.
  815  1006.12. Each school district shall receive a minimum safe
  816  schools allocation in an amount provided in the General
  817  Appropriations Act. Of the remaining balance of the safe schools
  818  allocation, one-third two-thirds shall be allocated to school
  819  districts based on the most recent official Florida Crime Index
  820  provided by the Department of Law Enforcement and two-thirds
  821  one-third shall be allocated based on each school district’s
  822  proportionate share of the state’s total unweighted full-time
  823  equivalent student enrollment. Any additional funds appropriated
  824  to this allocation in the 2018-2019 fiscal year to the school
  825  resource officer program established pursuant to s. 1006.12
  826  shall be used exclusively for employing or contracting for
  827  school resource officers, which shall be in addition to the
  828  number of officers employed or contracted for in the 2017-2018
  829  fiscal year.
  830         (17) FUNDING COMPRESSION ALLOCATION.—The Legislature may
  831  provide an annual funding compression allocation in the General
  832  Appropriations Act. The allocation is created to provide
  833  additional funding to school districts and developmental
  834  research schools whose total funds per FTE in the prior year
  835  were less than the statewide average. Using the most recent
  836  prior year FEFP calculation for each eligible school district,
  837  the total funds per FTE shall be subtracted from the state
  838  average funds per FTE, not including any adjustments made
  839  pursuant to paragraph (18)(b). The resulting funds per FTE
  840  difference, or a portion thereof, as designated in the General
  841  Appropriations Act, shall then be multiplied by the school
  842  district’s total unweighted FTE to provide the allocation. If
  843  the calculated funds are greater than the amount included in the
  844  General Appropriations Act, they must be prorated to the
  845  appropriation amount based on each participating school
  846  district’s share. This subsection expires July 1, 2020 2019.

  856  specify a minimum allocation for all districts in the General
  857  Appropriations Act.
  858         (b) From the allocation, each district shall provide the

  876  no longer in turnaround status, as identified in s.
  877  1008.33(4)(c), with funds to offer services designed to improve
  878  the overall academic and community welfare of the schools’
  879  students and their families.

  881  not limited to, tutorial and after-school programs, student
  882  counseling, nutrition education, parental counseling, and an

  889  district shall develop and submit a plan for implementation to
  890  its school board for approval no later than August 1 of each
  891  fiscal year.

  903  academic rigor, direct instruction, and creating high academic
  904  and character standards;
  905         6. Provide focused instruction to improve student academic
  906  proficiency, which may include additional instruction time
  907  beyond the normal school day or school year; and
  908         7. Include a strategy for continuing to provide services
  909  after the school is no longer in turnaround status by virtue of
  910  achieving a grade of “C” or higher.

  912  the commissioner by September 1 of each fiscal year.
  913         (e) Subject to legislative appropriation, each school

  915  student enrollment at the eligible schools and a per-FTE funding
  916  amount of $500 or as provided in the General Appropriations Act.
  917  The supplement provided in the General Appropriations Act shall
  918  be based on the most recent school grades and shall serve as a
  919  proxy for the official calculation. Once school grades are
  920  available for the school year immediately preceding the fiscal
  921  year coinciding with the appropriation, the supplement shall be
  922  recalculated for the official participating schools as part of
  923  the subsequent FEFP calculation. The commissioner may prepare a
  924  preliminary calculation so that districts may proceed with
  925  timely planning and use of the funds. If the calculated funds
  926  for the statewide allocation exceed the funds appropriated, the
  927  allocation of funds to each school district must be prorated
  928  based on each school district’s share of the total unweighted
  929  FTE student enrollment for the eligible schools.
  930         (f) Subject to legislative appropriation, each school shall
  931  remain eligible to receive the allocation for a maximum of 4
  932  consecutive fiscal years while implementing a turnaround option
  933  pursuant to s. 1008.33(4). In addition, a school that improves
  934  to a grade of “C” or higher remains eligible to receive the
  935  allocation for a maximum of 2 consecutive fiscal years after
  936  exiting turnaround status.
  937         (g) This subsection expires July 1, 2020.
  938         Section 13. The amendments to s. 1011.62(11), (13)(d), and

 1117  and 93 of the 2019-2020 General Appropriations Act, section
 1118  1012.732, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:
 1119         1012.732 The Florida Best and Brightest Principal
 1120  Scholarship Program.—
 1121         (1) The Legislature recognizes that the most effective
 1122  school principals establish a safe and supportive school
 1123  environment for students and faculty. Research shows that these
 1124  principals increase student learning by providing opportunities
 1125  for the professional growth, collaboration, and autonomy that
 1126  classroom teachers need to become and remain highly effective
 1127  educational professionals. As a result, these principals are
 1128  able to recruit and retain more of the best classroom teachers
 1129  and improve student outcomes at their schools, including schools
 1130  serving low-income and high-need student populations. Therefore,
 1131  it is the intent of the Legislature to designate school
 1132  principals whose schools make noticeable academic improvement
 1133  school faculty has a high percentage of classroom teachers who
 1134  are designated as Florida’s best and brightest teacher scholars
 1135  pursuant to s. 1012.731 as Florida’s best and brightest
 1136  principals.
 1137         (2) There is created The Florida Best and Brightest

 1140  categorical funding for scholarships to be awarded to school
 1141  principals, as defined in s. 1012.01(3)(c)1., to be funded as
 1142  provided in s. 1011.62(20) who have recruited and retained a
 1143  high percentage of best and brightest teachers.
 1144         (3) A school principal identified pursuant to s.
 1145  1012.731(4)(c) is eligible to receive an award, as specified in
 1146  the General Appropriations Act, a scholarship under this section
 1147  if he or she has served as school principal at his or her school
 1148  for at least 4 2 consecutive school years including the current
 1149  school year and the school has improved an average of 3
 1150  percentage points or more in the percentage of total possible
 1151  points achieved for determining school grades over the prior 3
 1152  years his or her school has a ratio of best and brightest
 1153  teachers to other classroom teachers that is at the 80th
 1154  percentile or higher for schools within the same grade group,
 1155  statewide, including elementary schools, middle schools, high
 1156  schools, and schools with a combination of grade levels.
 1157         (4) Annually, by February 1, the department shall identify
 1158  eligible school principals and disburse funds to each school
 1159  district for each eligible school principal to receive a
 1160  scholarship. A scholarship of $5,000 must be awarded to every
 1161  eligible school principal assigned to a Title I school and a
 1162  scholarship of $4,000 to every eligible school principal who is
 1163  not assigned to a Title I school.
 1164         (5) Annually, by April 1, each school district must award a
 1165  scholarship to each eligible school principal.
 1166         (6)A school district must provide a best and brightest
 1167  principal with the additional authority and responsibilities
 1168  provided in s. 1012.28(8) for a minimum of 2 years.
 1169         (7) For purposes of this section, the term “school
 1170  district” includes the Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind
 1171  and charter school governing boards.
 1172         Section 19. The amendments to ss. 1012.731 and 1012.732,
 1173  Florida Statutes, by this act expire July 1, 2019, and the text
 1174  of those sections shall revert to that in existence on June 30,
 1175  2019, except that any amendments to such text enacted other than

 1195  for the applicable fiscal year, and adjusted by changes in the
 1196  Consumer Price Index issued by the United States Department of
 1197  Labor from the previous fiscal year. Nothing in this subsection
 1198  prohibits a school district from distributing to charter schools
 1199  funds resulting from the discretionary millage authorized in s.

 1223         5. Serve students in facilities that are not provided by
 1224  the charter school’s sponsor.
 1225         (b) A charter school is not eligible to receive capital

 1231  Statutes, by this act expire July 1, 2020, and the text of that
 1232  subsection shall revert to that in existence on June 30, 2019,
 1233  except that any amendments to such text enacted other than by
 1234  this act shall be preserved and continue to operate to the
 1235  extent that such amendments are not dependent upon the portions
 1236  of text which expire pursuant to this section.
 1237         Section 22. In order to implement Specific Appropriation
 1238  204 of the 2019-2020 General Appropriations Act, the
 1239  calculations for the Medicaid Disproportionate Share Hospital

 1250  Act, and notwithstanding ss. 216.181 and 216.292, Florida
 1251  Statutes, the Agency for Health Care Administration, in
 1252  consultation with the Department of Health, may submit a budget

 1254  procedures of s. 216.177, Florida Statutes, to realign funding
 1255  within and between agencies based on implementation of the
 1256  Managed Medical Assistance component of the Statewide Medicaid
 1257  Managed Care program for the Children’s Medical Services program
 1258  of the Department of Health. The funding realignment shall
 1259  reflect the actual enrollment changes due to the transfer of
 1260  beneficiaries from fee-for-service to the capitated Children’s
 1261  Medical Services Network. The Agency for Health Care
 1262  Administration may submit a request for nonoperating budget
 1263  authority to transfer the federal funds to the Department of

 1273  providers, in accordance with state and federal law, according
 1274  to methodologies set forth in the rules of the agency and in
 1275  policy manuals and handbooks incorporated by reference therein.
 1276  These methodologies may include fee schedules, reimbursement
 1277  methods based on cost reporting, negotiated fees, competitive
 1278  bidding pursuant to s. 287.057, and other mechanisms the agency
 1279  considers efficient and effective for purchasing services or
 1280  goods on behalf of recipients. If a provider is reimbursed based
 1281  on cost reporting and submits a cost report late and that cost
 1282  report would have been used to set a lower reimbursement rate
 1283  for a rate semester, then the provider’s rate for that semester
 1284  shall be retroactively calculated using the new cost report, and
 1285  full payment at the recalculated rate shall be effected
 1286  retroactively. Medicare-granted extensions for filing cost
 1287  reports, if applicable, shall also apply to Medicaid cost
 1288  reports. Payment for Medicaid compensable services made on
 1289  behalf of Medicaid eligible persons is subject to the
 1290  availability of moneys and any limitations or directions
 1291  provided for in the General Appropriations Act or chapter 216.
 1292  Further, nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent
 1293  or limit the agency from adjusting fees, reimbursement rates,
 1294  lengths of stay, number of visits, or number of services, or
 1295  making any other adjustments necessary to comply with the
 1296  availability of moneys and any limitations or directions
 1297  provided for in the General Appropriations Act, provided the
 1298  adjustment is consistent with legislative intent.
 1299         (23)(a) The agency shall establish rates at a level that
 1300  ensures no increase in statewide expenditures resulting from a
 1301  change in unit costs for county health departments effective
 1302  July 1, 2011. Reimbursement rates shall be as provided in the
 1303  General Appropriations Act.

 1324  203, 207, 208, 210, 212, and 221 of the 2019-2020 General
 1325  Appropriations Act, the Agency for Health Care Administration
 1326  shall seek authorization from the federal Centers for Medicare
 1327  and Medicaid Services to eliminate the Medicaid retroactive
 1328  eligibility period for nonpregnant adults in a manner that
 1329  ensures that the elimination becomes effective on July 1, 2019.

 1762  defender has certified to the court in writing that the public
 1763  defender is unable to provide representation due to a conflict
 1764  of interest and has specifically identified and described the

 1790  contract for services with the Justice Administrative

 1795  Administrative Commission of any change in his or her status.
 1796  Failure to comply with this requirement is cause for termination
 1797  of the contract for services and removal from the registry until
 1798  the requirement is fulfilled.
 1799         (5) The Justice Administrative Commission shall approve
 1800  uniform contract forms for use in procuring the services of
 1801  private court-appointed counsel and uniform procedures and forms
 1802  for use by a court-appointed attorney in support of billing for
 1803  attorney’s fees, costs, and related expenses to demonstrate the
 1804  attorney’s completion of specified duties. Such uniform
 1805  contracts and forms for use in billing must be consistent with
 1806  s. 27.5304, s. 216.311, and the General Appropriations Act and
 1807  must contain the following statement: “The State of Florida’s
 1808  performance and obligation to pay under this contract is
 1809  contingent upon an annual appropriation by the Legislature.”
 1810         (6) After court appointment, the attorney must immediately
 1811  file a notice of appearance with the court indicating acceptance
 1812  of the appointment to represent the defendant and of the terms
 1813  of the uniform contract as specified in subsection (5).
 1814         (7)(a) A private attorney appointed by the court from the
 1815  registry to represent a client is entitled to payment as
 1816  provided in s. 27.5304 so long as the requirements of subsection
 1817  (1) and paragraph (2)(a) are met. An attorney appointed by the
 1818  court who is not on the registry list may be compensated under
 1819  s. 27.5304 only if the court finds in the order of appointment
 1820  that there were no registry attorneys available for
 1821  representation for that case and only if the requirements of
 1822  subsection (1) and paragraph (2)(a) are met.
 1823         (b)1. The flat fee established in s. 27.5304 and the
 1824  General Appropriations Act shall be presumed by the court to be
 1825  sufficient compensation. The attorney shall maintain appropriate
 1826  documentation, including contemporaneous and detailed hourly
 1827  accounting of time spent representing the client. If the
 1828  attorney fails to maintain such contemporaneous and detailed
 1829  hourly records, the attorney waives the right to seek
 1830  compensation in excess of the flat fee established in s. 27.5304
 1831  and the General Appropriations Act. These records and documents
 1832  are subject to review by the Justice Administrative Commission
 1833  and audit by the Auditor General, subject to the attorney-client
 1834  privilege and work-product privilege. The attorney shall
 1835  maintain the records and documents in a manner that enables the
 1836  attorney to redact any information subject to a privilege in
 1837  order to facilitate the commission’s review of the records and
 1838  documents and not to impede such review. The attorney may redact
 1839  information from the records and documents only to the extent
 1840  necessary to comply with the privilege. The Justice
 1841  Administrative Commission shall review such records and shall
 1842  contemporaneously document such review before authorizing
 1843  payment to an attorney. Objections by or on behalf of the
 1844  Justice Administrative Commission to records or documents or to
 1845  claims for payment by the attorney shall be presumed correct by
 1846  the court unless the court determines in writing competent and
 1847  substantial evidence exists to justify overcoming the
 1848  presumption.
 1849         2. If an attorney fails, refuses, or declines to permit the
 1850  commission or the Auditor General to review documentation for a
 1851  case as provided in this paragraph, the attorney waives the
 1852  right to seek, and the commission may not pay, compensation in
 1853  excess of the flat fee established in s. 27.5304 and the General
 1854  Appropriations Act for that case.
 1855         3. A finding by the commission that an attorney has waived
 1856  the right to seek compensation in excess of the flat fee
 1857  established in s. 27.5304 and the General Appropriations Act, as
 1858  provided in this paragraph, shall be is presumed to be correct
 1859  valid, unless the, as determined by a court determines, in
 1860  writing, that competent and substantial evidence exists to
 1861  justify overcoming the presumption, the commission’s finding is
 1862  not supported by competent and substantial evidence.
 1863         Section 46. The amendments to s. 27.40(1), (2)(a), (3)(a),
 1864  (5), (6), and (7), by this act shall expire July 1, 2020, and
 1865  the text of those subsections and paragraphs, as applicable,
 1866  shall revert to that in existence on June 30, 2019, except that
 1867  any amendments to such text enacted other than by this act shall
 1868  be preserved and continue to operate to the extent that such
 1869  amendments are not dependent upon the portions of text which
 1870  expire pursuant to this section.
 1871         Section 47. In order to implement Specific Appropriations
 1872  761 through 784A, 952 through 1097, and 1118 through 1152 of the
 1873  2019-2020 General Appropriations Act, subsections (1), (3), (7),
 1874  and (11), paragraphs (a) through (e) of subsection (12), and
 1875  subsection (13) of section 27.5304, Florida Statutes, are
 1876  amended to read:
 1877         27.5304 Private court-appointed counsel; compensation;
 1878  notice.—
 1879         (1) Private court-appointed counsel appointed in the manner
 1880  prescribed in s. 27.40(1) and (2)(a) shall be compensated by the
 1881  Justice Administrative Commission only as provided in this
 1882  section and the General Appropriations Act. The flat fees
 1883  prescribed in this section are limitations on compensation. The
 1884  specific flat fee amounts for compensation shall be established
 1885  annually in the General Appropriations Act. The attorney also
 1886  shall be reimbursed for reasonable and necessary expenses in
 1887  accordance with s. 29.007. If the attorney is representing a
 1888  defendant charged with more than one offense in the same case,
 1889  the attorney shall be compensated at the rate provided for the
 1890  most serious offense for which he or she represented the
 1891  defendant. This section does not allow stacking of the fee
 1892  limits established by this section.
 1893         (3) The court retains primary authority and responsibility
 1894  for determining the reasonableness of all billings for attorney
 1895  fees, costs, and related expenses, subject to statutory
 1896  limitations and the requirements of s. 27.40(7). Private court
 1897  appointed counsel is entitled to compensation upon final
 1898  disposition of a case.
 1899         (7) Counsel eligible entitled to receive compensation from
 1900  the state for representation pursuant to court appointment made
 1901  in accordance with the requirements of s. 27.40(1) and (2)(a) in
 1902  a proceeding under chapter 384, chapter 390, chapter 392,
 1903  chapter 393, chapter 394, chapter 397, chapter 415, chapter 743,
 1904  chapter 744, or chapter 984 shall receive compensation not to
 1905  exceed the limits prescribed in the General Appropriations Act.
 1906  Any such compensation must be determined as provided in s.
 1907  27.40(7).
 1908         (11) It is the intent of the Legislature that the flat fees
 1909  prescribed under this section and the General Appropriations Act
 1910  comprise the full and complete compensation for private court
 1911  appointed counsel. It is further the intent of the Legislature
 1912  that the fees in this section are prescribed for the purpose of
 1913  providing counsel with notice of the limit on the amount of
 1914  compensation for representation in particular proceedings and
 1915  the sole procedure and requirements for obtaining payment for
 1916  the same.
 1917         (a) If court-appointed counsel moves to withdraw prior to
 1918  the full performance of his or her duties through the completion
 1919  of the case, the court shall presume that the attorney is not
 1920  entitled to the payment of the full flat fee established under
 1921  this section and the General Appropriations Act.
 1922         (b) If court-appointed counsel is allowed to withdraw from
 1923  representation prior to the full performance of his or her
 1924  duties through the completion of the case and the court appoints
 1925  a subsequent attorney, the total compensation for the initial
 1926  and any and all subsequent attorneys may not exceed the flat fee
 1927  established under this section and the General Appropriations
 1928  Act, except as provided in subsection (12).
 1929  
 1930  This subsection constitutes notice to any subsequently appointed
 1931  attorney that he or she will not be compensated the full flat
 1932  fee.
 1933         (12) The Legislature recognizes that on rare occasions an
 1934  attorney may receive a case that requires extraordinary and
 1935  unusual effort.
 1936         (a) If counsel seeks compensation that exceeds the limits
 1937  prescribed by law, he or she must file a motion with the chief
 1938  judge for an order approving payment of attorney fees in excess
 1939  of these limits.
 1940         1. Before filing the motion, the counsel shall deliver a
 1941  copy of the intended billing, together with supporting
 1942  affidavits and all other necessary documentation, to the Justice
 1943  Administrative Commission.
 1944         2. The Justice Administrative Commission shall review the
 1945  billings, affidavit, and documentation for completeness and
 1946  compliance with contractual and statutory requirements and shall
 1947  contemporaneously document such review before authorizing
 1948  payment to an attorney. If the Justice Administrative Commission
 1949  objects to any portion of the proposed billing, the objection
 1950  and supporting reasons must be communicated in writing to the
 1951  private court-appointed counsel. The counsel may thereafter file
 1952  his or her motion, which must specify whether the commission
 1953  objects to any portion of the billing or the sufficiency of
 1954  documentation, and shall attach the commission’s letter stating
 1955  its objection.
 1956         (b) Following receipt of the motion to exceed the fee
 1957  limits, the chief judge or a single designee shall hold an
 1958  evidentiary hearing. The chief judge may select only one judge
 1959  per circuit to hear and determine motions pursuant to this
 1960  subsection, except multicounty circuits and the eleventh circuit
 1961  may have up to two designees.
 1962         1. At the hearing, the attorney seeking compensation must
 1963  prove by competent and substantial evidence that the case
 1964  required extraordinary and unusual efforts. The chief judge or
 1965  single designee shall consider criteria such as the number of
 1966  witnesses, the complexity of the factual and legal issues, and
 1967  the length of trial. The fact that a trial was conducted in a
 1968  case does not, by itself, constitute competent substantial
 1969  evidence of an extraordinary and unusual effort. In a criminal
 1970  case, relief under this section may not be granted if the number
 1971  of work hours does not exceed 75 or the number of the state’s
 1972  witnesses deposed does not exceed 20.
 1973         2. Objections by or on behalf of the Justice Administrative
 1974  Commission to records or documents or to claims for payment by
 1975  the attorney shall be presumed correct by the court unless the
 1976  court determines, in writing, that competent and substantial
 1977  evidence exists to justify overcoming the presumption. The chief
 1978  judge or single designee shall enter a written order detailing
 1979  his or her findings and identifying the extraordinary nature of
 1980  the time and efforts of the attorney in the case which warrant
 1981  exceeding the flat fee established by this section and the
 1982  General Appropriations Act.
 1983         (c) A copy of the motion and attachments shall be served on
 1984  the Justice Administrative Commission at least 20 5 business
 1985  days before the date of a hearing. The Justice Administrative
 1986  Commission has standing to appear before the court, and may
 1987  appear in person or telephonically, including at the hearing
 1988  under paragraph (b), to contest any motion for an order
 1989  approving payment of attorney fees, costs, or related expenses
 1990  and may participate in a hearing on the motion by use of
 1991  telephonic or other communication equipment. The Justice
 1992  Administrative Commission may contract with other public or
 1993  private entities or individuals to appear before the court for
 1994  the purpose of contesting any motion for an order approving
 1995  payment of attorney fees, costs, or related expenses. The fact
 1996  that the Justice Administrative Commission has not objected to
 1997  any portion of the billing or to the sufficiency of the
 1998  documentation is not binding on the court.
 1999         (d) If the chief judge or a single designee finds that
 2000  counsel has proved by competent and substantial evidence that
 2001  the case required extraordinary and unusual efforts, the chief
 2002  judge or single designee shall order the compensation to be paid
 2003  to the attorney at a percentage above the flat fee rate,
 2004  depending on the extent of the unusual and extraordinary effort
 2005  required. The percentage must be only the rate necessary to
 2006  ensure that the fees paid are not confiscatory under common law.
 2007  The percentage may not exceed 200 percent of the established
 2008  flat fee, absent a specific finding that 200 percent of the flat
 2009  fee in the case would be confiscatory. If the chief judge or
 2010  single designee determines that 200 percent of the flat fee
 2011  would be confiscatory, he or she shall order the amount of
 2012  compensation using an hourly rate not to exceed $75 per hour for
 2013  a noncapital case and $100 per hour for a capital case. However,
 2014  the compensation calculated by using the hourly rate shall be
 2015  only that amount necessary to ensure that the total fees paid
 2016  are not confiscatory, subject to the requirements of s.
 2017  27.40(7).
 2018         (e) Any order granting relief under this subsection must be
 2019  attached to the final request for a payment submitted to the
 2020  Justice Administrative Commission and must satisfy the
 2021  requirements of subparagraph (b)2.
 2022         (13) Notwithstanding the limitation set forth in subsection
 2023  (5) and for the 2019-2020 2018-2019 fiscal year only, the
 2024  compensation for representation in a criminal proceeding may not
 2025  exceed the following:
 2026         (a) For misdemeanors and juveniles represented at the trial
 2027  level: $1,000.
 2028         (b) For noncapital, nonlife felonies represented at the
 2029  trial level: $15,000.
 2030         (c) For life felonies represented at the trial level:
 2031  $15,000.
 2032         (d) For capital cases represented at the trial level:
 2033  $25,000. For purposes of this paragraph, a “capital case” is any
 2034  offense for which the potential sentence is death and the state
 2035  has not waived seeking the death penalty.
 2036         (e) For representation on appeal: $9,000.
 2037         (f) This subsection expires July 1, 2020 2019.
 2038         Section 48. The amendments to s. 27.5304(1), (3), (7),
 2039  (11), and (12)(a)-(e), Florida Statutes, by this act expire July
 2040  1, 2020, and the text of those subsections and paragraphs, as
 2041  applicable, shall revert to that in existence on June 30, 2019,
 2042  except that any amendments to such text enacted other than by
 2043  this act shall be preserved and continue to operate to the
 2044  extent that such amendments are not dependent upon the portions
 2045  of text which expire pursuant to this section.
 2046         Section 49. In order to implement Specific Appropriation
 2047  770 of the 2019-2020 General Appropriations Act, and
 2048  notwithstanding section 28.35, Florida Statutes, the clerks of
 2049  the circuit court are responsible for any costs of compensation
 2050  to jurors, for meals or lodging provided to jurors, and for
 2051  jury-related personnel costs that exceed the funding provided in
 2052  the General Appropriations Act for these purposes. This section
 2053  expires July 1, 2020.
 2054         Section 50. In order to implement Specific Appropriations
 2055  952 through 1097 of the 2019-2020 General Appropriations Act,
 2056  and notwithstanding the expiration date in section 40 of chapter
 2057  2018-10, Laws of Florida, paragraph (c) of subsection (19) of
 2058  section 318.18, Florida Statutes, is reenacted to read:
 2059         318.18 Amount of penalties.—The penalties required for a
 2060  noncriminal disposition pursuant to s. 318.14 or a criminal
 2061  offense listed in s. 318.17 are as follows:
 2062         (19) In addition to any penalties imposed, an Article V
 2063  assessment of $10 must be paid for all noncriminal moving and
 2064  nonmoving violations under chapters 316, 320, and 322. The
 2065  assessment is not revenue for purposes of s. 28.36 and may not
 2066  be used in establishing the budget of the clerk of the court
 2067  under that section or s. 28.35. Of the funds collected under
 2068  this subsection:
 2069         (c) The sum of $1.67 shall be deposited in the Indigent
 2070  Criminal Defense Trust Fund for use by the public defenders.
 2071         Section 51. In order to implement Specific Appropriations
 2072  952 through 1097 of the 2019-2020 General Appropriations Act,

 2076         817.568 Criminal use of personal identification
 2077  information.—
 2078         (12) In addition to any sanction imposed when a person
 2079  pleads guilty or nolo contendere to, or is found guilty of,
 2080  regardless of adjudication, a violation of this section, the
 2081  court shall impose a surcharge of $1,001.
 2082         (b) The sum of $250 of the surcharge shall be deposited
 2083  into the State Attorneys Revenue Trust Fund for the purpose of
 2084  funding prosecutions of offenses relating to the criminal use of
 2085  personal identification information. The sum of $250 of the
 2086  surcharge shall be deposited into the Indigent Criminal Defense
 2087  Trust Fund for the purposes of indigent criminal defense related
 2088  to the criminal use of personal identification information.
 2089         Section 52. The text of ss. 318.18(19)(c) and
 2090  817.568(12)(b), Florida Statutes, as carried forward from
 2091  chapter 2018-10, Laws of Florida, by this act, expires July 1,

 2093  existence on June 30, 2018, except that any amendments to such
 2094  text enacted other than by this act shall be preserved and
 2095  continue to operate to the extent that such amendments are not
 2096  dependent upon the portions of text which expire pursuant to
 2097  this section.
 2098         Section 53. In order to implement Specific Appropriation
 2099  3210 of the 2019-2020 General Appropriations Act, and
 2100  notwithstanding s. 112.061(4), Florida Statutes:
 2101         (1)(a)A Supreme Court justice who permanently resides
 2102  outside Leon County may have, if he or she so requests, a
 2103  district court of appeal courthouse, a county courthouse, or
 2104  other appropriate facility in his or her district of residence
 2105  designated as his or her official headquarters for purposes of
 2106  s. 112.061, Florida Statutes. This official headquarters may
 2107  serve only as the justice’s private chambers.
 2108         (b)A justice for whom an official headquarters is
 2109  designated in his or her district of residence under this
 2110  subsection is eligible for subsistence at a rate to be
 2111  established by the Chief Justice for each day or partial day
 2112  that the justice is at the headquarters of the Supreme Court to

 2114  allowance, a justice is eligible for reimbursement for
 2115  transportation expenses as provided in s. 112.061(7), Florida
 2116  Statutes, for travel between the justice’s official headquarters
 2117  and the headquarters of the Supreme Court to conduct court

 2119         (c)Payment of subsistence and reimbursement for
 2120  transportation expenses relating to travel between a justice’s

 2126  implement paragraph (1)(a).
 2127         (3)(a)This section does not require a county to provide
 2128  space in a county courthouse for a justice. A county may enter
 2129  into an agreement with the Supreme Court governing the use of
 2130  space in a county courthouse.
 2131         (b)The Supreme Court may not use state funds to lease
 2132  space in a district court of appeal courthouse, a county
 2133  courthouse, or another facility to allow a justice to establish
 2134  an official headquarters pursuant to subsection (1).
 2135         (4)This section expires July 1, 2020.
 2136         Section 54. In order to implement appropriations used to
 2137  pay existing lease contracts for private lease space in excess
 2138  of 2,000 square feet in the 2019-2020 General Appropriations
 2139  Act, the Department of Management Services, with the cooperation
 2140  of the agencies having the existing lease contracts for office
 2141  or storage space, shall use tenant broker services to
 2142  renegotiate or reprocure all private lease agreements for office
 2143  or storage space expiring between July 1, 2020, and June 30,
 2144  2022, in order to reduce costs in future years. The department
 2145  shall incorporate this initiative into its 2019 master leasing
 2146  report required under s. 255.249(7), Florida Statutes, and may
 2147  use tenant broker services to explore the possibilities of
 2148  collocating office or storage space, to review the space needs
 2149  of each agency, and to review the length and terms of potential
 2150  renewals or renegotiations. The department shall provide a
 2151  report to the Executive Office of the Governor, the President of
 2152  the Senate, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives by
 2153  November 1, 2019, which lists each lease contract for private
 2154  office or storage space, the status of renegotiations, and the
 2155  savings achieved. This section expires July 1, 2020.
 2156         Section 55. In order to implement Specific Appropriations
 2157  2839 through 2850A of the 2019-2020 General Appropriations Act,
 2158  and notwithstanding rule 60A-1.031, Florida Administrative Code,
 2159  the transaction fee collected for use of the online procurement
 2160  system, authorized in ss. 287.042(1)(h)1. and 287.057(22)(c),
 2161  Florida Statutes, is seven-tenths of 1 percent for the 2019-2020
 2162  fiscal year only. This section expires July 1, 2020.
 2163         Section 56. In order to implement appropriations authorized
 2164  in the 2019-2020 General Appropriations Act for data center
 2165  services, and notwithstanding s. 216.292(2)(a), Florida
 2166  Statutes, an agency may not transfer funds from a data
 2167  processing category to a category other than another data
 2168  processing category. This section expires July 1, 2020.
 2169         Section 57. In order to implement the appropriation of

 2171  Agency for State Technology” in the 2019-2020 General
 2172  Appropriations Act, and pursuant to the notice, review, and
 2173  objection procedures of s. 216.177, Florida Statutes, the
 2174  Executive Office of the Governor may transfer funds appropriated

 2675         (3) Notwithstanding subsection (1) and only with respect to
 2676  a land acquisition trust fund in the Department of Agriculture
 2677  and Consumer Services, the Department of Environmental

 2681  temporarily insufficient to meet its just requirements,
 2682  including the timely payment of appropriations from that trust
 2683  fund, and other trust funds in the State Treasury have moneys
 2684  that are for the time being or otherwise in excess of the
 2685  amounts necessary to meet the just requirements, including
 2686  appropriated obligations, of those other trust funds, the
 2687  Governor may order a temporary transfer of moneys from one or

 2703  Commission must be repaid to the trust funds from which the
 2704  moneys were loaned by the end of the 2019-2020 2018-2019 fiscal

 2706  other trust fund moneys temporarily loaned to a land acquisition
 2707  trust fund in the Department of Agriculture and Consumer
 2708  Services, the Department of Environmental Protection, the
 2709  Department of State, or the Fish and Wildlife Conservation

 2733  the fiscal year by the total appropriations from the Land
 2734  Acquisition Trust Fund within the department and the land
 2735  acquisition trust funds within the Department of Agriculture and
 2736  Consumer Services, the Department of State, and the Fish and

 2751  Land Acquisition Trust Fund to land acquisition trust funds
 2752  within the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the
 2753  Department of State, and the Fish and Wildlife Conservation
 2754  Commission amounts equal to the difference between the amounts
 2755  appropriated in chapter 2018-9, Laws of Florida, to the
 2756  department’s Land Acquisition Trust Fund and the other land
 2757  acquisition trust funds, and the amounts actually transferred
 2758  between those trust funds during the 2018-2019 fiscal year.
 2759         (4)The department may advance funds from the beginning
 2760  unobligated fund balance in the Land Acquisition Trust Fund to
 2761  the Land Acquisition Trust Fund within the Fish and Wildlife
 2762  Conservation Commission needed for cash flow purposes based on a
 2763  detailed expenditure plan. The department shall prorate amounts
 2764  transferred quarterly to the Fish and Wildlife Conservation
 2765  Commission to recoup the amount of funds advanced by June 30,

 3122  paragraph (b) of subsection (2) of section 215.32, Florida
 3123  Statutes, is reenacted to read:
 3124         215.32 State funds; segregation.—
 3125         (2) The source and use of each of these funds shall be as
 3126  follows:
 3127         (b)1. The trust funds shall consist of moneys received by
 3128  the state which under law or under trust agreement are
 3129  segregated for a purpose authorized by law. The state agency or
 3130  branch of state government receiving or collecting such moneys
 3131  is responsible for their proper expenditure as provided by law.
 3132  Upon the request of the state agency or branch of state
 3133  government responsible for the administration of the trust fund,
 3134  the Chief Financial Officer may establish accounts within the
 3135  trust fund at a level considered necessary for proper
 3136  accountability. Once an account is established, the Chief
 3137  Financial Officer may authorize payment from that account only
 3138  upon determining that there is sufficient cash and releases at
 3139  the level of the account.
 3140         2. In addition to other trust funds created by law, to the
 3141  extent possible, each agency shall use the following trust funds
 3142  as described in this subparagraph for day-to-day operations:
 3143         a. Operations or operating trust fund, for use as a
 3144  depository for funds to be used for program operations funded by

 3146  activities when the operations or operating trust fund is a
 3147  proprietary fund.

 3149  depository for client services funded by third-party payors.
 3150         c. Administrative trust fund, for use as a depository for
 3151  funds to be used for management activities that are departmental
 3152  in nature and funded by indirect cost earnings and assessments
 3153  against trust funds. Proprietary funds are excluded from the
 3154  requirement of using an administrative trust fund.
 3155         d. Grants and donations trust fund, for use as a depository
 3156  for funds to be used for allowable grant or donor agreement
 3157  activities funded by restricted contractual revenue from private
 3158  and public nonfederal sources.
 3159         e. Agency working capital trust fund, for use as a
 3160  depository for funds to be used pursuant to s. 216.272.

 3162  funds to account for collections pending distribution to lawful
 3163  recipients.

 3165  funds to be used for allowable grant activities funded by
 3166  restricted program revenues from federal sources.
 3167  
 3168  To the extent possible, each agency must adjust its internal
 3169  accounting to use existing trust funds consistent with the
 3170  requirements of this subparagraph. If an agency does not have
 3171  trust funds listed in this subparagraph and cannot make such
 3172  adjustment, the agency must recommend the creation of the
 3173  necessary trust funds to the Legislature no later than the next
 3174  scheduled review of the agency’s trust funds pursuant to s.
 3175  215.3206.
 3176         3. All such moneys are hereby appropriated to be expended
 3177  in accordance with the law or trust agreement under which they
 3178  were received, subject always to the provisions of chapter 216
 3179  relating to the appropriation of funds and to the applicable
 3180  laws relating to the deposit or expenditure of moneys in the
 3181  State Treasury.
 3182         4.a. Notwithstanding any provision of law restricting the
 3183  use of trust funds to specific purposes, unappropriated cash
 3184  balances from selected trust funds may be authorized by the
 3185  Legislature for transfer to the Budget Stabilization Fund and
 3186  General Revenue Fund in the General Appropriations Act.
 3187         b. This subparagraph does not apply to trust funds required
 3188  by federal programs or mandates; trust funds established for
 3189  bond covenants, indentures, or resolutions whose revenues are

 3201  law; trust funds that serve as clearing funds or accounts for
 3202  the Chief Financial Officer or state agencies; trust funds that
 3203  account for assets held by the state in a trustee capacity as an
 3204  agent or fiduciary for individuals, private organizations, or
 3205  other governmental units; and other trust funds authorized by
 3206  the State Constitution.
 3207         Section 94. The amendment to s. 215.32(2)(b), Florida
 3208  Statutes, as carried forward from chapter 2011-47, Laws of
 3209  Florida, by this act, expires July 1, 2020, and the text of that
 3210  paragraph shall revert to that in existence on June 30, 2011,
 3211  except that any amendments to such text enacted other than by
 3212  this act shall be preserved and continue to operate to the
 3213  extent that such amendments are not dependent upon the portions
 3214  of text which expire pursuant to this section.
 3215         Section 95. In order to implement appropriations in the
 3216  2019-2020 General Appropriations Act for state employee travel,
 3217  the funds appropriated to each state agency which may be used
 3218  for travel by state employees are limited during the 2019-2020
 3219  fiscal year to travel for activities that are critical to each
 3220  state agency’s mission. Funds may not be used for travel by
 3221  state employees to foreign countries, other states, conferences,
 3222  staff training activities, or other administrative functions
 3223  unless the agency head has approved, in writing, that such
 3224  activities are critical to the agency’s mission. The agency head
 3225  shall consider using teleconferencing and other forms of
 3226  electronic communication to meet the needs of the proposed
 3227  activity before approving mission-critical travel. This section
 3228  does not apply to travel for law enforcement purposes, military
 3229  purposes, emergency management activities, or public health
 3230  activities. This section expires July 1, 2020.
 3231         Section 96. In order to implement the appropriation of
 3232  funds in the special categories, contracted services, and
 3233  expenses categories of the 2019-2020 General Appropriations Act,
 3234  a state agency may not enter into a contract containing a
 3235  nondisclosure clause that prohibits the contractor from
 3236  disclosing information relevant to the performance of the
 3237  contract to members or staff of the Senate or the House of
 3238  Representatives. This section expires July 1, 2020.
 3239         Section 97. Any section of this act which implements a
 3240  specific appropriation or specifically identified proviso
 3241  language in the 2019-2020 General Appropriations Act is void if
 3242  the specific appropriation or specifically identified proviso
 3243  language is vetoed. Any section of this act which implements
 3244  more than one specific appropriation or more than one portion of
 3245  specifically identified proviso language in the 2019-2020
 3246  General Appropriations Act is void if all the specific
 3247  appropriations or portions of specifically identified proviso
 3248  language are vetoed.
 3249         Section 98. If any other act passed during the 2019 Regular
 3250  Session of the Legislature contains a provision that is
 3251  substantively the same as a provision in this act, but that
 3252  removes or is otherwise not subject to the future repeal applied
 3253  to such provision by this act, the Legislature intends that the
 3254  provision in the other act takes precedence and continues to
 3255  operate, notwithstanding the future repeal provided by this act.
 3256         Section 99. If any provision of this act or its application
 3257  to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the invalidity
 3258  does not affect other provisions or applications of the act
 3259  which can be given effect without the invalid provision or
 3260  application, and to this end the provisions of this act are
 3261  severable.
 3262         Section 100. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this
 3263  act and except for this section, which shall take effect upon
 3264  this act becoming a law, this act shall take effect July 1,
 3265  2019; or, if this act fails to become a law until after that
 3266  date, it shall take effect upon becoming a law and shall operate
 3267  retroactively to July 1, 2019.
