  230  approval of the Agency for Enterprise Information Technology.
  231         Section 2. Effective upon this act becoming a law,
  232  subsection (3) of section 31 of chapter 2011-66, Laws of
  233  Florida, is amended, and subsections (4) and (5) are added to
  234  that section, to read:
  235         Section 31. Effective July 1, 2011, a Law Enforcement
  236  Consolidation Task Force is created.
  237         (3) The task force shall evaluate any duplication of law
  238  enforcement functions throughout state government and identify
  239  any functions that are appropriate for possible consolidation.
  240  The task force shall also evaluate administrative functions,
  241  including, but not limited to, accreditation, training, legal
  242  representation, vehicle fleets, aircraft, civilian-support
  243  staffing, information technology, and geographic regions,
  244  districts, or troops currently in use. The task force shall also
  245  evaluate whether the Florida Highway Patrol should limit its
  246  jurisdiction, except while in fresh pursuit, to the State
  247  Highway System or the Florida Intrastate Highway System. If the
  248  task force concludes that any state law enforcement
  249  consolidation is appropriate, the task force shall make
  250  recommendations and submit a plan to consolidate those state law
  251  enforcement responsibilities. Any plan submitted must include
  252  recommendations on the methodology to be used to achieve any
  253  state law enforcement consolidation recommended by the task
  254  force by June 30, 2013. The task force shall submit to the

  258  task force expires June 30, 2012.
  259         (4) By October 31, 2012, the task force shall submit a
  260  report to the Governor, the President of the Senate, and the
  261  Speaker of the House of Representatives which makes
  262  recommendations relating to the creation of a consolidated law
  263  enforcement data center environment that acknowledges the unique
  264  requirements of state law enforcement systems in the support of
  265  public safety. The report’s recommendations should align with
  266  the original recommendations of the law enforcement
  267  consolidation task force which combine state law enforcement
  268  systems across the law enforcement enterprise. The report must
  269  recommend the location and operation of a law enforcement data
  270  center that meets all security requirements of the criminal
  271  justice information systems. The report must also include
  272  recommendations on the strategy to be used for creating the law
  273  enforcement data center and timelines for when the center should
  274  be completed and operational.
  275         (5) The task force expires December 31, 2012.
  276         Section 3. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this
  277  act and except for this section, which shall take effect upon
  278  this act becoming a law, this act shall take effect July 1.
