Immediately above Specific Appropriation 1182, INSERT:

From the funds in Specific Appropriations 1182 through 1199, in 
selecting a private provider for operation of secure and non-secure 
residential programs, the Department of Juvenile Justice must consider 
the provider's history of performance of services in other jurisdictions 
as well as its performance of services in Florida. The Department of 
Juvenile Justice must also provide a report of serious incidents to the 
Governor, the President of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House of 
Representatives on no less than a quarterly basis. The report must 
include, at a minimum: the number of incidents and allegations of staff 
abuse or abuse by another child, including whether or not an allegation 
was substantiated; descriptions of incidents or allegations of such 
abuse that resulted in physical injury or significant psychological 
trauma, or that involved deprivation of food, water, or medical care;

and the failure of a provider to report incidents or allegations within 
required timeframes established by the department. The report must be 
organized so that the incidents and allegations relating to a particular 
facility and to a particular provider can be readily ascertained. The 
Department of Juvenile Justice must also immediately report the death or 
serious bodily injury of a youth in a secure or non-secure residential 
program to the Governor, the President of the Senate, and the Speaker of 
the House of Representatives, and may make any additional reports that 
it determines to be appropriate based upon the seriousness of an 
incident or allegation.
