  329  completion of Phase 2 and Phase 3 of the Department of Health’s
  330  Florida Onsite Sewage Nitrogen Reduction Strategies Study:
  331         (1) The Department of Health’s underlying contract for the
  332  study remains in full force and effect and funding for
  333  completion of Phase 2 and Phase 3 is through the Department of
  334  Health.
  335         (2) The Department of Health, the Department of Health’s
  336  Research Review and Advisory Committee, and the Department of
  337  Environmental Protection shall work together to provide the
  338  necessary technical oversight of the completion of Phase 2 and
  339  Phase 3 of the project.
  340         (3) Management and oversight of the completion of Phase 2
  341  and Phase 3 must be consistent with the terms of the existing
  342  contract. However, the main focus and priority to be completed
  343  during Phase 3 shall be developing, testing, and recommending
  344  cost-effective passive technology design criteria for nitrogen
  345  reduction.
  346         (4) The systems installed at homesites are experimental in

  384         Section 10. In order to implement Specific Appropriation
  385  536 of the 2011-2012 General Appropriations Act, notwithstanding

  394  proviso following the appropriation is repealed and replaced
  395  with:
  396  
  397         Funds in Specific Appropriation 177 reflect a
  398         reduction of $173,477,299 from the General Revenue
  399         Fund, $220,252,391 from the Medical Care Trust Fund,
  400         and $1,199,158 from the Refugee Assistance Trust Fund
  401         as a result of modifying the reimbursement for
  402         inpatient hospital rates. The agency shall implement a
  403         recurring methodology in the Title XIX Inpatient
  404         Hospital Reimbursement Plan to achieve this reduction.
  405         In establishing rates through the normal process,
  406         before including this reduction, if the unit cost is
  407         equal to or less than the unit cost used in
  408         establishing the budget, then no additional reduction
  409         in rates is necessary; however, if the unit cost is
  410         greater than the unit cost used in establishing the
  411         budget, then rates shall be reduced by an amount
  412         required to achieve this reduction, but may not be
  413         reduced below the unit cost used in establishing the
  414         budget. Hospitals that are licensed as a children’s
  415         specialty hospital and whose Medicaid days plus
  416         charity care days divided by total adjusted patient
  417         days equals or exceeds 30 percent and rural hospitals,
  418         as defined in s. 395.602, Florida Statutes, are
  419         excluded from this reduction.
  420  
  421         From the funds in Specific Appropriation 177,
  422         $239,417,562 from the Grants and Donations Trust Fund
  423         and $303,972,274 from the Medical Care Trust Fund are
  424         provided for public hospitals, including any leased
  425         public hospital determined to be covered under the
  426         state’s sovereign immunity; teaching hospitals, as
  427         defined in s. 408.07 or s. 395.805, Florida Statutes,
  428         which have 70 or more full-time equivalent resident
  429         physicians; hospitals that have graduate medical
  430         education positions that do not otherwise qualify; and
  431         designated trauma hospitals to buy back the Medicaid
  432         inpatient trend adjustment applied to their individual
  433         hospital rates and other Medicaid reductions to their
  434         inpatient rates up to actual Medicaid inpatient cost.
  435         The payments under this proviso are contingent on the
  436         state share being provided through grants and
  437         donations from state, county, or other governmental
  438         funds. This section of proviso does not include the
  439         buy back of the Medicaid inpatient trend adjustment

  443         Section 12.In order to implement Specific Appropriation
  444  182 of the 2011-2012 General Appropriations Act, and for the

  451         and $151,174 from the Refugee Assistance Trust Fund as
  452         a result of implementing a reduction in outpatient
  453         hospital reimbursement rates. The agency shall
  454         implement a recurring methodology in the Title XIX
  455         Outpatient Hospital Reimbursement Plan to achieve this
  456         reduction. In establishing rates through the normal
  457         process, prior to including this reduction, if the
  458         unit cost is equal to or less than the unit cost used
  459         in establishing the budget, then no additional
  460         reduction in rates is necessary. In establishing rates
  461         through the normal process, prior to including this
  462         reduction, if the unit cost is greater than the unit
  463         cost used in establishing the budget, then rates shall
  464         be reduced by an amount required to achieve this
  465         reduction, but shall not be reduced below the unit
  466         cost used in establishing the budget. Hospitals that
  467         are licensed as a children’s specialty hospital and
  468         whose Medicaid days plus charity care days divided by

 1634  travel, the funds appropriated to each state agency, which may
 1635  be used for travel by state employees, are limited during the
 1636  2011-2012 fiscal year to travel for activities that are critical
 1637  to each state agency’s mission. Funds may not be used to pay for
 1638  travel by state employees to foreign countries, other states,
 1639  conferences, staff-training activities, or other administrative
 1640  functions unless the agency head has approved in writing that
 1641  such activities are critical to the agency’s mission. The agency
 1642  head must consider the use of teleconferencing and other forms
 1643  of electronic communication to meet the needs of the proposed
 1644  activity before approving mission-critical travel. This section
 1645  does not apply to travel for law enforcement purposes, military

 1655  Governor may transfer funds appropriated in any appropriation
 1656  category used to pay for data processing in the 2011-2012
 1657  General Appropriations Act between agencies in order to align
 1658  the budget authority granted with the utilization rate of each
 1659  department. This section expires July 1, 2012.
 1660         Section 72. State agencies that are required to begin
 1661  planning for a data center consolidation scheduled for a
 1662  subsequent fiscal year may accelerate the consolidation into the
 1663  2011-2012 fiscal year, contingent upon approval by the
 1664  Legislative Budget Commission of budget adjustments necessary to
 1665  accomplish the consolidation. The primary data center may
 1666  establish positions contingent on an equal or greater number of

 1702  extent that such amendments are not dependent upon the portions
 1703  of text which expire pursuant to this section.
 1704         Section 76. In order to implement Specific Appropriations
 1705  2587 through 2597 of the 2011-2012 General Appropriations Act,
 1706  and notwithstanding chapter 255, Florida Statutes, the
 1707  Department of Management Services shall use the services of a

 1709  feet. Based on the renegotiations, and by September 30, 2011,
 1710  the department shall report to the Legislative Budget Commission
 1711  the projected savings, implementation costs, and recommendations

 1725  procedures of s. 216.177, Florida Statutes.
 1726         (3) This section expires July 1, 2012.

 1730  Management Services, together with the cooperation of the
 1731  agencies having the existing lease contracts, shall seek to
 1732  renegotiate or reprocure all private lease agreements expiring
 1733  before June 30, 2013, in order to achieve a reduction in costs
 1734  in future years. The department shall incorporate this

 1750  state term contract. The solicitation shall invite group
 1751  purchasing organizations or other vendors to offer a system for
 1752  drug purchasing, excluding those drugs purchased by Medicaid,
 1753  which provides transparent pricing to the extent permitted by
 1754  federal law, permits purchases outside the agreement if such
 1755  purchases offer the best value to the state, and establishes a
 1756  preferred drug list that utilizes generic drugs to the extent
 1757  feasible and cost effective. The department shall work with
 1758  other agencies with subject matter expertise in the
 1759  implementation of this section. Award of any contract is
 1760  contingent upon the approval of the Legislative Budget
 1761  Commission that the requirements of this section have been met.

 1763  Department of Health shall terminate its participation in the
 1764  Minnesota Multistate Contracting Alliance for Pharmacy.

 1766  193 of the 2011-2012 General Appropriations Act and

 1769  Florida Discount Drug Card Program to provide market competitive
 1770  discounts through a broad network of retail pharmacies and a
 1771  mail order pharmacy within the state and return money to the
 1772  state on a per prescription dispensed basis. Discounts shall be

 1792  product or service was not obtained from the corporation. This
 1793  subsection expires July 1, 2012.
 1794         Section 81. Any section of this act which implements a
 1795  specific appropriation or specifically identified proviso
 1796  language in the 2011-2012 General Appropriations Act is void if
 1797  the specific appropriation or specifically identified proviso
 1798  language is vetoed. Any section of this act which implements
 1799  more than one specific appropriation or more than one portion of
 1800  specifically identified proviso language in the 2011-2012
 1801  General Appropriations Act is void if all the specific
 1802  appropriations or portions of specifically identified proviso
 1803  language are vetoed.
 1804         Section 82. If any other act passed during the 2011 Regular
 1805  Session contains a provision that is substantively the same as a
 1806  provision in this act, but that removes or is otherwise not
 1807  subject to the future repeal applied to such provision by this
 1808  act, the Legislature intends that the provision in the other act
 1809  takes precedence and continues to operate, notwithstanding the
 1810  future repeal provided by this act.
 1811         Section 83. If any provision of this act or its application
 1812  to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the invalidity
 1813  does not affect other provisions or applications of the act
 1814  which can be given effect without the invalid provision or
 1815  application, and to this end the provisions of this act are
 1816  severable.
 1817         Section 84. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this
 1818  act and except for this section, which shall take effect upon
 1819  this act becoming a law, this act shall take effect July 1,
 1820  2011; or, if this act fails to become a law until after that
 1821  date, it shall take effect upon becoming a law and shall operate
 1822  retroactively to July 1, 2011.
