  686  fiscal year contained in the document titled “Medicaid
  687  Disproportionate Share Hospital and Hospital Reimbursement
  688  Programs, Fiscal Year 2019-2020,” dated May 1, 2019, and filed
  689  with the Secretary of the Senate, are incorporated by reference
  690  for the purpose of displaying the calculations used by the
  691  Legislature, consistent with the requirements of state law, in
  692  making appropriations for the Medicaid Disproportionate Share
  693  Hospital and Hospital Reimbursement programs. This section
  694  expires July 1, 2020.
  695         Section 15. In order to implement Specific Appropriations
  696  197 through 224 and 523 of the 2019-2020 General Appropriations
  697  Act, and notwithstanding ss. 216.181 and 216.292, Florida
  698  Statutes, the Agency for Health Care Administration, in
  699  consultation with the Department of Health, may submit a budget
  700  amendment, subject to the notice, review, and objection
  701  procedures of s. 216.177, Florida Statutes, to realign funding
  702  within and between agencies based on implementation of the
  703  Managed Medical Assistance component of the Statewide Medicaid
  704  Managed Care program for the Children’s Medical Services program
  705  of the Department of Health. The funding realignment shall
  706  reflect the actual enrollment changes due to the transfer of
  707  beneficiaries from fee-for-service to the capitated Children’s
  708  Medical Services Network. The Agency for Health Care
  709  Administration may submit a request for nonoperating budget
  710  authority to transfer the federal funds to the Department of
  711  Health pursuant to s. 216.181(12), Florida Statutes. This
  712  section expires July 1, 2020.
  713         Section 16. Effective October 1, 2019, in order to
  714  implement Specific Appropriations 221 and 222 of the 2019-2020
  715  General Appropriations Act, subsection (2) of section 409.908,
  716  Florida Statutes, as amended by section 19 of chapter 2018-10,
  717  Laws of Florida, is amended to read:
  718         409.908 Reimbursement of Medicaid providers.—Subject to
  719  specific appropriations, the agency shall reimburse Medicaid
  720  providers, in accordance with state and federal law, according
  721  to methodologies set forth in the rules of the agency and in
  722  policy manuals and handbooks incorporated by reference therein.
  723  These methodologies may include fee schedules, reimbursement
  724  methods based on cost reporting, negotiated fees, competitive
  725  bidding pursuant to s. 287.057, and other mechanisms the agency
  726  considers efficient and effective for purchasing services or
  727  goods on behalf of recipients. If a provider is reimbursed based
  728  on cost reporting and submits a cost report late and that cost
  729  report would have been used to set a lower reimbursement rate
  730  for a rate semester, then the provider’s rate for that semester
  731  shall be retroactively calculated using the new cost report, and
  732  full payment at the recalculated rate shall be effected
  733  retroactively. Medicare-granted extensions for filing cost
  734  reports, if applicable, shall also apply to Medicaid cost
  735  reports. Payment for Medicaid compensable services made on
  736  behalf of Medicaid eligible persons is subject to the
  737  availability of moneys and any limitations or directions
  738  provided for in the General Appropriations Act or chapter 216.
  739  Further, nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent
  740  or limit the agency from adjusting fees, reimbursement rates,
  741  lengths of stay, number of visits, or number of services, or
  742  making any other adjustments necessary to comply with the
  743  availability of moneys and any limitations or directions
  744  provided for in the General Appropriations Act, provided the
  745  adjustment is consistent with legislative intent.
  746         (2)(a)1. Reimbursement to nursing homes licensed under part
  747  II of chapter 400 and state-owned-and-operated intermediate care
  748  facilities for the developmentally disabled licensed under part
  749  VIII of chapter 400 must be made prospectively.
  750         2. Unless otherwise limited or directed in the General
  751  Appropriations Act, reimbursement to hospitals licensed under
  752  part I of chapter 395 for the provision of swing-bed nursing
  753  home services must be made on the basis of the average statewide
  754  nursing home payment, and reimbursement to a hospital licensed
  755  under part I of chapter 395 for the provision of skilled nursing
  756  services must be made on the basis of the average nursing home
  757  payment for those services in the county in which the hospital
  758  is located. When a hospital is located in a county that does not
  759  have any community nursing homes, reimbursement shall be
  760  determined by averaging the nursing home payments in counties
  761  that surround the county in which the hospital is located.
  762  Reimbursement to hospitals, including Medicaid payment of
  763  Medicare copayments, for skilled nursing services shall be
  764  limited to 30 days, unless a prior authorization has been
  765  obtained from the agency. Medicaid reimbursement may be extended
  766  by the agency beyond 30 days, and approval must be based upon
  767  verification by the patient’s physician that the patient
  768  requires short-term rehabilitative and recuperative services
  769  only, in which case an extension of no more than 15 days may be
  770  approved. Reimbursement to a hospital licensed under part I of
  771  chapter 395 for the temporary provision of skilled nursing
  772  services to nursing home residents who have been displaced as
  773  the result of a natural disaster or other emergency may not
  774  exceed the average county nursing home payment for those
  775  services in the county in which the hospital is located and is
  776  limited to the period of time which the agency considers
  777  necessary for continued placement of the nursing home residents
  778  in the hospital.
  779         (b) Subject to any limitations or directions in the General
  780  Appropriations Act, the agency shall establish and implement a
  781  state Title XIX Long-Term Care Reimbursement Plan for nursing
  782  home care in order to provide care and services in conformance
  783  with the applicable state and federal laws, rules, regulations,
  784  and quality and safety standards and to ensure that individuals
  785  eligible for medical assistance have reasonable geographic
  786  access to such care.
  787         1. The agency shall amend the long-term care reimbursement
  788  plan and cost reporting system to create direct care and
  789  indirect care subcomponents of the patient care component of the
  790  per diem rate. These two subcomponents together shall equal the
  791  patient care component of the per diem rate. Separate prices
  792  shall be calculated for each patient care subcomponent,
  793  initially based on the September 2016 rate setting cost reports
  794  and subsequently based on the most recently audited cost report
  795  used during a rebasing year. The direct care subcomponent of the
  796  per diem rate for any providers still being reimbursed on a cost
  797  basis shall be limited by the cost-based class ceiling, and the
  798  indirect care subcomponent may be limited by the lower of the
  799  cost-based class ceiling, the target rate class ceiling, or the
  800  individual provider target. The ceilings and targets apply only
  801  to providers being reimbursed on a cost-based system. Effective
  802  October 1, 2018, a prospective payment methodology shall be
  803  implemented for rate setting purposes with the following
  804  parameters:
  805         a. Peer Groups, including:
  806         (I) North-SMMC Regions 1-9, less Palm Beach and Okeechobee

  824         f. Quality Score Threshold to Quality for Quality Incentive
  825  Payment..................20th percentile of included facilities.
  826         g. Fair Rental Value System Payment Parameters:

  837         (XI) Minimum Cost of a renovation/replacements$500 per bed.
  838         h. Ventilator Supplemental payment of $200 per Medicaid day
  839  of 40,000 ventilator Medicaid days per fiscal year.
  840         2. The direct care subcomponent shall include salaries and
  841  benefits of direct care staff providing nursing services
  842  including registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and
  843  certified nursing assistants who deliver care directly to
  844  residents in the nursing home facility, allowable therapy costs,
  845  and dietary costs. This excludes nursing administration, staff
  846  development, the staffing coordinator, and the administrative
  847  portion of the minimum data set and care plan coordinators. The
  848  direct care subcomponent also includes medically necessary
  849  dental care, vision care, hearing care, and podiatric care.
  850         3. All other patient care costs shall be included in the
  851  indirect care cost subcomponent of the patient care per diem
  852  rate, including complex medical equipment, medical supplies, and
  853  other allowable ancillary costs. Costs may not be allocated
  854  directly or indirectly to the direct care subcomponent from a
  855  home office or management company.
  856         4. On July 1 of each year, the agency shall report to the
  857  Legislature direct and indirect care costs, including average
  858  direct and indirect care costs per resident per facility and
  859  direct care and indirect care salaries and benefits per category
  860  of staff member per facility.
  861         5. Every fourth year, the agency shall rebase nursing home
  862  prospective payment rates to reflect changes in cost based on
  863  the most recently audited cost report for each participating
  864  provider.
  865         6. A direct care supplemental payment may be made to
  866  providers whose direct care hours per patient day are above the
  867  80th percentile and who provide Medicaid services to a larger
  868  percentage of Medicaid patients than the state average.
  869         7. For the period beginning on October 1, 2018, and ending
  870  on September 30, 2021, the agency shall reimburse providers the
  871  greater of their September 2016 cost-based rate or their
  872  prospective payment rate. Effective October 1, 2021, the agency
  873  shall reimburse providers the greater of 95 percent of their
  874  cost-based rate or their rebased prospective payment rate, using
  875  the most recently audited cost report for each facility. This
  876  subparagraph shall expire September 30, 2023.
  877         8. Pediatric, Florida Department of Veterans Affairs, and
  878  government-owned facilities are exempt from the pricing model
  879  established in this subsection and shall remain on a cost-based
  880  prospective payment system. Effective October 1, 2018, the
  881  agency shall set rates for all facilities remaining on a cost
  882  based prospective payment system using each facility’s most
  883  recently audited cost report, eliminating retroactive
  884  settlements.
  885  
  886  It is the intent of the Legislature that the reimbursement plan
  887  achieve the goal of providing access to health care for nursing
  888  home residents who require large amounts of care while
  889  encouraging diversion services as an alternative to nursing home
  890  care for residents who can be served within the community. The
  891  agency shall base the establishment of any maximum rate of
  892  payment, whether overall or component, on the available moneys
  893  as provided for in the General Appropriations Act. The agency
  894  may base the maximum rate of payment on the results of
  895  scientifically valid analysis and conclusions derived from
  896  objective statistical data pertinent to the particular maximum
  897  rate of payment.
  898         Section 17. The amendment made by this act to s.
  899  409.908(2), Florida Statutes, by this act expires July 1, 2020,
  900  and the text of that subsection shall revert to that in
  901  existence on July 1, 2019, except that any amendments to such
  902  text enacted other than by this act shall be preserved and
  903  continue to operate to the extent that such amendments are not
  904  dependent upon the portions of text which expire pursuant to
  905  this section.
  906         Section 18. In order to implement Specific Appropriations
  907  221 and 222 of the 2019-2020 General Appropriations Act, and
  908  notwithstanding the expiration date in section 19 of chapter
  909  2018-10, Laws of Florida, subsection (23) of section 409.908,
  910  Florida Statutes, is reenacted to read:
  911         409.908 Reimbursement of Medicaid providers.—Subject to
  912  specific appropriations, the agency shall reimburse Medicaid
  913  providers, in accordance with state and federal law, according
  914  to methodologies set forth in the rules of the agency and in
  915  policy manuals and handbooks incorporated by reference therein.
  916  These methodologies may include fee schedules, reimbursement
  917  methods based on cost reporting, negotiated fees, competitive
  918  bidding pursuant to s. 287.057, and other mechanisms the agency
  919  considers efficient and effective for purchasing services or
  920  goods on behalf of recipients. If a provider is reimbursed based
  921  on cost reporting and submits a cost report late and that cost
  922  report would have been used to set a lower reimbursement rate
  923  for a rate semester, then the provider’s rate for that semester
  924  shall be retroactively calculated using the new cost report, and
  925  full payment at the recalculated rate shall be effected
  926  retroactively. Medicare-granted extensions for filing cost
  927  reports, if applicable, shall also apply to Medicaid cost
  928  reports. Payment for Medicaid compensable services made on
  929  behalf of Medicaid eligible persons is subject to the
  930  availability of moneys and any limitations or directions
  931  provided for in the General Appropriations Act or chapter 216.
  932  Further, nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent
  933  or limit the agency from adjusting fees, reimbursement rates,
  934  lengths of stay, number of visits, or number of services, or
  935  making any other adjustments necessary to comply with the
  936  availability of moneys and any limitations or directions
  937  provided for in the General Appropriations Act, provided the
  938  adjustment is consistent with legislative intent.
  939         (23)(a) The agency shall establish rates at a level that
  940  ensures no increase in statewide expenditures resulting from a
  941  change in unit costs for county health departments effective
  942  July 1, 2011. Reimbursement rates shall be as provided in the
  943  General Appropriations Act.
  944         (b)1. Base rate reimbursement for inpatient services under
  945  a diagnosis-related group payment methodology shall be provided
  946  in the General Appropriations Act.
  947         2. Base rate reimbursement for outpatient services under an
  948  enhanced ambulatory payment group methodology shall be provided
  949  in the General Appropriations Act.
  950         3. Prospective payment system reimbursement for nursing
  951  home services shall be as provided in subsection (2) and in the
  952  General Appropriations Act.
  953         Section 19. The text of s. 409.908(23), Florida Statutes,
  954  as carried forward from chapter 2018-10, Laws of Florida, by
  955  this act, expires July 1, 2020, and the text of that subsection
  956  shall revert to that in existence on October 1, 2018, not
  957  including any amendments made by chapter 2018-10, Laws of
  958  Florida, except that any amendments to such text enacted other
  959  than by this act and chapter 2018-10, Laws of Florida, shall be
  960  preserved and continue to operate to the extent that such
  961  amendments are not dependent upon the portions of text which
  962  expire pursuant to this section.
  963         Section 20. In order to implement Specific Appropriation
  964  205 of the 2019-2020 General Appropriations Act, subsection (26)
  965  of section 409.908, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:
  966         409.908 Reimbursement of Medicaid providers.—Subject to
  967  specific appropriations, the agency shall reimburse Medicaid
  968  providers, in accordance with state and federal law, according
  969  to methodologies set forth in the rules of the agency and in
  970  policy manuals and handbooks incorporated by reference therein.
  971  These methodologies may include fee schedules, reimbursement
  972  methods based on cost reporting, negotiated fees, competitive
  973  bidding pursuant to s. 287.057, and other mechanisms the agency
  974  considers efficient and effective for purchasing services or
  975  goods on behalf of recipients. If a provider is reimbursed based
  976  on cost reporting and submits a cost report late and that cost
  977  report would have been used to set a lower reimbursement rate
  978  for a rate semester, then the provider’s rate for that semester
  979  shall be retroactively calculated using the new cost report, and
  980  full payment at the recalculated rate shall be effected
  981  retroactively. Medicare-granted extensions for filing cost
  982  reports, if applicable, shall also apply to Medicaid cost
  983  reports. Payment for Medicaid compensable services made on
  984  behalf of Medicaid eligible persons is subject to the
  985  availability of moneys and any limitations or directions
  986  provided for in the General Appropriations Act or chapter 216.
  987  Further, nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent
  988  or limit the agency from adjusting fees, reimbursement rates,
  989  lengths of stay, number of visits, or number of services, or
  990  making any other adjustments necessary to comply with the
  991  availability of moneys and any limitations or directions
  992  provided for in the General Appropriations Act, provided the
  993  adjustment is consistent with legislative intent.
  994         (26) The agency may receive funds from state entities,
  995  including, but not limited to, the Department of Health, local
  996  governments, and other local political subdivisions, for the
  997  purpose of making special exception payments and Low Income Pool
  998  Program payments, including federal matching funds. Funds
  999  received for this purpose shall be separately accounted for and
 1000  may not be commingled with other state or local funds in any
 1001  manner. The agency may certify all local governmental funds used
 1002  as state match under Title XIX of the Social Security Act to the
 1003  extent and in the manner authorized under the General
 1004  Appropriations Act and pursuant to an agreement between the
 1005  agency and the local governmental entity. In order for the
 1006  agency to certify such local governmental funds, a local
 1007  governmental entity must submit a final, executed letter of
 1008  agreement to the agency, which must be received by October 1 of
 1009  each fiscal year and provide the total amount of local
 1010  governmental funds authorized by the entity for that fiscal year
 1011  under the General Appropriations Act. The local governmental
 1012  entity shall use a certification form prescribed by the agency.
 1013  At a minimum, the certification form must identify the amount
 1014  being certified and describe the relationship between the
 1015  certifying local governmental entity and the local health care
 1016  provider. Local governmental funds outlined in the letters of
 1017  agreement must be received by the agency no later than October
 1018  31 of each fiscal year in which such funds are pledged, unless
 1019  an alternative plan is specifically approved by the agency.
 1020         Section 21. The amendment to s. 409.908(26), Florida
 1021  Statutes, by this act expires July 1, 2020, and the text of that
 1022  subsection shall revert to that in existence on June 30, 2019,
 1023  except that any amendments to such text enacted other than by
 1024  this act shall be preserved and continue to operate to the
 1025  extent that such amendments are not dependent upon the portions
 1026  of text which expire pursuant to this section.
 1027         Section 22. In order to implement Specific Appropriation
 1028  192 of the 2019-2020 General Appropriations Act, subsection (6)
 1029  of section 409.912, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:
 1030         409.912 Cost-effective purchasing of health care.—The
 1031  agency shall purchase goods and services for Medicaid recipients
 1032  in the most cost-effective manner consistent with the delivery
 1033  of quality medical care. To ensure that medical services are
 1034  effectively utilized, the agency may, in any case, require a
 1035  confirmation or second physician’s opinion of the correct
 1036  diagnosis for purposes of authorizing future services under the
 1037  Medicaid program. This section does not restrict access to
 1038  emergency services or poststabilization care services as defined
 1039  in 42 C.F.R. s. 438.114. Such confirmation or second opinion
 1040  shall be rendered in a manner approved by the agency. The agency
 1041  shall maximize the use of prepaid per capita and prepaid
 1042  aggregate fixed-sum basis services when appropriate and other
 1043  alternative service delivery and reimbursement methodologies,
 1044  including competitive bidding pursuant to s. 287.057, designed
 1045  to facilitate the cost-effective purchase of a case-managed
 1046  continuum of care. The agency shall also require providers to
 1047  minimize the exposure of recipients to the need for acute
 1048  inpatient, custodial, and other institutional care and the
 1049  inappropriate or unnecessary use of high-cost services. The
 1050  agency shall contract with a vendor to monitor and evaluate the
 1051  clinical practice patterns of providers in order to identify
 1052  trends that are outside the normal practice patterns of a
 1053  provider’s professional peers or the national guidelines of a
 1054  provider’s professional association. The vendor must be able to
 1055  provide information and counseling to a provider whose practice
 1056  patterns are outside the norms, in consultation with the agency,
 1057  to improve patient care and reduce inappropriate utilization.
 1058  The agency may mandate prior authorization, drug therapy
 1059  management, or disease management participation for certain
 1060  populations of Medicaid beneficiaries, certain drug classes, or
 1061  particular drugs to prevent fraud, abuse, overuse, and possible
 1062  dangerous drug interactions. The Pharmaceutical and Therapeutics
 1063  Committee shall make recommendations to the agency on drugs for
 1064  which prior authorization is required. The agency shall inform
 1065  the Pharmaceutical and Therapeutics Committee of its decisions
 1066  regarding drugs subject to prior authorization. The agency is
 1067  authorized to limit the entities it contracts with or enrolls as
 1068  Medicaid providers by developing a provider network through
 1069  provider credentialing. The agency may competitively bid single
 1070  source-provider contracts if procurement of goods or services
 1071  results in demonstrated cost savings to the state without
 1072  limiting access to care. The agency may limit its network based
 1073  on the assessment of beneficiary access to care, provider
 1074  availability, provider quality standards, time and distance
 1075  standards for access to care, the cultural competence of the
 1076  provider network, demographic characteristics of Medicaid
 1077  beneficiaries, practice and provider-to-beneficiary standards,
 1078  appointment wait times, beneficiary use of services, provider
 1079  turnover, provider profiling, provider licensure history,
 1080  previous program integrity investigations and findings, peer
 1081  review, provider Medicaid policy and billing compliance records,
 1082  clinical and medical record audits, and other factors. Providers
 1083  are not entitled to enrollment in the Medicaid provider network.
 1084  The agency shall determine instances in which allowing Medicaid
 1085  beneficiaries to purchase durable medical equipment and other
 1086  goods is less expensive to the Medicaid program than long-term
 1087  rental of the equipment or goods. The agency may establish rules
 1088  to facilitate purchases in lieu of long-term rentals in order to
 1089  protect against fraud and abuse in the Medicaid program as
 1090  defined in s. 409.913. The agency may seek federal waivers
 1091  necessary to administer these policies.
 1092         (6) Notwithstanding the provisions of chapter 287, the
 1093  agency may, at its discretion, renew a contract or contracts for
 1094  fiscal intermediary services one or more times for such periods
 1095  as the agency may decide; however, all such renewals may not
 1096  combine to exceed a total period longer than the term of the
 1097  original contract, with the exception of the fiscal agent
 1098  contract scheduled to end in calendar year 2020, which may be
 1099  extended by the agency through December 31, 2024.
 1100         Section 23. The amendment to s. 409.912(6), Florida
 1101  Statutes, by this act expires July 1, 2020, and the text of that
 1102  subsection shall revert to that in existence on June 30, 2019,
 1103  except that any amendments to such text enacted other than by
 1104  this act shall be preserved and continue to operate to the
 1105  extent that such amendments are not dependent upon the portions
 1106  of text which expire pursuant to this section.
 1107         Section 24. In order to implement Specific Appropriations
 1108  203, 207, 208, 210, 212, and 221 of the 2019-2020 General
 1109  Appropriations Act, subsection (12) is added to section 409.904,
 1110  Florida Statutes, to read:
 1111         409.904 Optional payments for eligible persons.—The agency
 1112  may make payments for medical assistance and related services on
 1113  behalf of the following persons who are determined to be
 1114  eligible subject to the income, assets, and categorical
 1115  eligibility tests set forth in federal and state law. Payment on
 1116  behalf of these Medicaid eligible persons is subject to the
 1117  availability of moneys and any limitations established by the
 1118  General Appropriations Act or chapter 216.
 1119         (12) Effective July 1, 2019, the agency shall make payments
 1120  to Medicaid-covered services:
 1121         (a) For eligible children and pregnant women, retroactive
 1122  for a period of no more than 90 days before the month in which
 1123  an application for Medicaid is submitted.
 1124         (b) For eligible nonpregnant adults, retroactive to the
 1125  first day of the month in which an application for Medicaid is
 1126  submitted.
 1127  
 1128  This subsection expires July 1, 2020.
 1129         Section 25. In order to implement Specific Appropriations
 1130  203, 207, 208, 210, 212, and 221 of the 2019-2020 General
 1131  Appropriations Act:
 1132         (1)By January 10, 2020, the Agency for Health Care
 1133  Administration, in consultation with the Department of Children
 1134  and Families, the Florida Hospital Association, the Safety Net
 1135  Hospital Alliance of Florida, the Florida Health Care
 1136  Association, and LeadingAge Florida, shall submit a report to
 1137  the Governor, the President of the Senate, and the Speaker of
 1138  the House of Representatives regarding the impact of the waiver
 1139  of Medicaid retroactive eligibility on beneficiaries and
 1140  providers. The report must include, but is not limited to:
 1141         (a)The total unduplicated number of nonpregnant adults who
 1142  applied for Medicaid at a hospital site from February 1, 2019,
 1143  through December 6, 2019; and, of those applicants, the number
 1144  whose Medicaid applications were approved, the number whose
 1145  Medicaid applications were denied, and the reasons for denial
 1146  ranked by frequency.
 1147         (b)The total unduplicated number of nonpregnant adults who
 1148  applied for Medicaid at a nursing home site from February 1,
 1149  2019, through December 6, 2019; and, of those applicants, the

 1157         (d)Recommendations to improve outreach and Medicaid
 1158  coverage for nonpregnant adults who would be eligible for
 1159  Medicaid if they applied before an event that requires hospital
 1160  or nursing home care.
 1161         (2)The Agency for Health Care Administration shall also
 1162  include, as part of the report required by this section, a copy
 1163  of the evaluation design and performance metrics submitted to
 1164  the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services relating
 1165  to the waiver of Medicaid retroactive eligibility, in conformity
 1166  with the Special Terms and Conditions of this state’s Section
 1167  1115 demonstration project, titled Managed Medical Assistance
 1168  (MMA) Program (Project No. 11-W-00206/4).
 1169  
 1170  This section expires July 1, 2020.
 1171         Section 26. In order to implement Specific Appropriation
 1172  245 of the 2019-2020 General Appropriations Act, subsection (10)
 1173  of section 393.0661, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:
 1174         393.0661 Home and community-based services delivery system;
 1175  comprehensive redesign.—The Legislature finds that the home and
 1176  community-based services delivery system for persons with
 1177  developmental disabilities and the availability of appropriated
 1178  funds are two of the critical elements in making services
 1179  available. Therefore, it is the intent of the Legislature that
 1180  the Agency for Persons with Disabilities shall develop and
 1181  implement a comprehensive redesign of the system.
 1182         (10) Implementation of Medicaid waiver programs and
 1183  services authorized under this chapter is limited by the funds
 1184  appropriated for the individual budgets pursuant to s. 393.0662
 1185  and the four-tiered waiver system pursuant to subsection (3).
 1186  Contracts with independent support coordinators and service
 1187  providers must include provisions requiring compliance with
 1188  agency cost containment initiatives. The agency shall implement
 1189  monitoring and accounting procedures necessary to track actual
 1190  expenditures and project future spending compared to available
 1191  appropriations for Medicaid waiver programs. When necessary
 1192  based on projected deficits, the agency must establish specific
 1193  corrective action plans that incorporate corrective actions of
 1194  contracted providers that are sufficient to align program
 1195  expenditures with annual appropriations. If deficits continue
 1196  during the 2018-2019 2012-2013 fiscal year, the agency in
 1197  conjunction with the Agency for Health Care Administration shall
 1198  develop a plan to redesign the waiver program and submit the
 1199  plan to the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House
 1200  of Representatives by September 30, 2019 2013. At a minimum, the
 1201  plan must include the following elements:
 1202         (a) Budget predictability.—Agency budget recommendations
 1203  must include specific steps to restrict spending to budgeted
 1204  amounts based on alternatives to the iBudget and four-tiered
 1205  Medicaid waiver models.
 1206         (b) Services.—The agency shall identify core services that
 1207  are essential to provide for client health and safety and
 1208  recommend elimination of coverage for other services that are
 1209  not affordable based on available resources.
 1210         (c) Flexibility.—The redesign shall be responsive to
 1211  individual needs and to the extent possible encourage client
 1212  control over allocated resources for their needs.
 1213         (d) Support coordination services.—The plan shall modify
 1214  the manner of providing support coordination services to improve
 1215  management of service utilization and increase accountability
 1216  and responsiveness to agency priorities.
 1217         (e) Reporting.—The agency shall provide monthly reports to
 1218  the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of
 1219  Representatives on plan progress and development on July 31,
 1220  2019 2013, and August 31, 2019 2013.
 1221         (f) Implementation.—The implementation of a redesigned
 1222  program is subject to legislative approval and shall occur no
 1223  later than July 1, 2014. The Agency for Health Care
 1224  Administration shall seek federal waivers as needed to implement
 1225  the redesigned plan once approved by the Legislature.
 1226         Section 27. The amendment made to s. 393.0661(10), Florida
 1227  Statutes, by this act expires July 1, 2020, and the text of that
 1228  subsection shall revert to that in existence on June 30, 2019,
 1229  except that any amendments to such text enacted other than by
 1230  this act shall be preserved and continue to operate to the
 1231  extent that such amendments are not dependent upon the portions
 1232  of text which expire pursuant to this section.
 1233         Section 28. In order to implement Specific Appropriations
 1234  221 and 222 of the 2019-2020 General Appropriations Act,
 1235  paragraph (d) of subsection (2) of section 400.179, Florida
 1236  Statutes, is amended to read:
 1237         400.179 Liability for Medicaid underpayments and
 1238  overpayments.—
 1239         (2) Because any transfer of a nursing facility may expose
 1240  the fact that Medicaid may have underpaid or overpaid the
 1241  transferor, and because in most instances, any such underpayment
 1242  or overpayment can only be determined following a formal field
 1243  audit, the liabilities for any such underpayments or
 1244  overpayments shall be as follows:
 1245         (d) Where the transfer involves a facility that has been
 1246  leased by the transferor:
 1247         1. The transferee shall, as a condition to being issued a
 1248  license by the agency, acquire, maintain, and provide proof to
 1249  the agency of a bond with a term of 30 months, renewable
 1250  annually, in an amount not less than the total of 3 months’
 1251  Medicaid payments to the facility computed on the basis of the
 1252  preceding 12-month average Medicaid payments to the facility.
 1253         2. A leasehold licensee may meet the requirements of
 1254  subparagraph 1. by payment of a nonrefundable fee, paid at
 1255  initial licensure, paid at the time of any subsequent change of
 1256  ownership, and paid annually thereafter, in the amount of 1
 1257  percent of the total of 3 months’ Medicaid payments to the
 1258  facility computed on the basis of the preceding 12-month average
 1259  Medicaid payments to the facility. If a preceding 12-month
 1260  average is not available, projected Medicaid payments may be
 1261  used. The fee shall be deposited into the Grants and Donations
 1262  Trust Fund and shall be accounted for separately as a Medicaid
 1263  nursing home overpayment account. These fees shall be used at
 1264  the sole discretion of the agency to repay nursing home Medicaid
 1265  overpayments or for enhanced payments to nursing facilities as
 1266  specified in the General Appropriations Act or other law.
 1267  Payment of this fee shall not release the licensee from any
 1268  liability for any Medicaid overpayments, nor shall payment bar
 1269  the agency from seeking to recoup overpayments from the licensee
 1270  and any other liable party. As a condition of exercising this
 1271  lease bond alternative, licensees paying this fee must maintain
 1272  an existing lease bond through the end of the 30-month term
 1273  period of that bond. The agency is herein granted specific
 1274  authority to promulgate all rules pertaining to the
 1275  administration and management of this account, including
 1276  withdrawals from the account, subject to federal review and
 1277  approval. This provision shall take effect upon becoming law and
 1278  shall apply to any leasehold license application. The financial
 1279  viability of the Medicaid nursing home overpayment account shall
 1280  be determined by the agency through annual review of the account
 1281  balance and the amount of total outstanding, unpaid Medicaid
 1282  overpayments owing from leasehold licensees to the agency as
 1283  determined by final agency audits. By March 31 of each year, the
 1284  agency shall assess the cumulative fees collected under this
 1285  subparagraph, minus any amounts used to repay nursing home
 1286  Medicaid overpayments and amounts transferred to contribute to
 1287  the General Revenue Fund pursuant to s. 215.20. If the net
 1288  cumulative collections, minus amounts utilized to repay nursing
 1289  home Medicaid overpayments, exceed $10 $25 million, the
 1290  provisions of this subparagraph shall not apply for the
 1291  subsequent fiscal year.
 1292         3. The leasehold licensee may meet the bond requirement
 1293  through other arrangements acceptable to the agency. The agency
 1294  is herein granted specific authority to promulgate rules
 1295  pertaining to lease bond arrangements.
 1296         4. All existing nursing facility licensees, operating the
 1297  facility as a leasehold, shall acquire, maintain, and provide
 1298  proof to the agency of the 30-month bond required in
 1299  subparagraph 1., above, on and after July 1, 1993, for each
 1300  license renewal.
 1301         5. It shall be the responsibility of all nursing facility
 1302  operators, operating the facility as a leasehold, to renew the
 1303  30-month bond and to provide proof of such renewal to the agency
 1304  annually.
 1305         6. Any failure of the nursing facility operator to acquire,
 1306  maintain, renew annually, or provide proof to the agency shall
 1307  be grounds for the agency to deny, revoke, and suspend the
 1308  facility license to operate such facility and to take any
 1309  further action, including, but not limited to, enjoining the
 1310  facility, asserting a moratorium pursuant to part II of chapter
 1311  408, or applying for a receiver, deemed necessary to ensure
 1312  compliance with this section and to safeguard and protect the
 1313  health, safety, and welfare of the facility’s residents. A lease
 1314  agreement required as a condition of bond financing or
 1315  refinancing under s. 154.213 by a health facilities authority or
 1316  required under s. 159.30 by a county or municipality is not a
 1317  leasehold for purposes of this paragraph and is not subject to
 1318  the bond requirement of this paragraph.
 1319         Section 29. The amendment to s. 400.179(2)(d), Florida
 1320  Statutes, made by this act expires July 1, 2020, and the text of
 1321  that paragraph shall revert to that in existence on June 30,
 1322  2019, except that any amendments to such text enacted other than
 1323  by this act shall be preserved and continue to operate to the
 1324  extent that such amendments are not dependent upon the portions
 1325  of text which expire pursuant to this section.
 1326         Section 30. In order to implement Specific Appropriations
 1327  178 through 181 of the 2019-2020 General Appropriations Act,
 1328  paragraph (b) of subsection (5) of section 624.91, Florida
 1329  Statutes, is amended to read:
 1330         624.91 The Florida Healthy Kids Corporation Act.—
 1331         (5) CORPORATION AUTHORIZATION, DUTIES, POWERS.—
 1332         (b) The Florida Healthy Kids Corporation shall:
 1333         1. Arrange for the collection of any family, local
 1334  contributions, or employer payment or premium, in an amount to
 1335  be determined by the board of directors, to provide for payment
 1336  of premiums for comprehensive insurance coverage and for the
 1337  actual or estimated administrative expenses.
 1338         2. Arrange for the collection of any voluntary
 1339  contributions to provide for payment of Florida Kidcare program
 1340  premiums for children who are not eligible for medical
 1341  assistance under Title XIX or Title XXI of the Social Security
 1342  Act.
 1343         3. Subject to the provisions of s. 409.8134, accept
 1344  voluntary supplemental local match contributions that comply
 1345  with the requirements of Title XXI of the Social Security Act
 1346  for the purpose of providing additional Florida Kidcare coverage
 1347  in contributing counties under Title XXI.
 1348         4. Establish the administrative and accounting procedures
 1349  for the operation of the corporation.
 1350         5. Establish, with consultation from appropriate
 1351  professional organizations, standards for preventive health
 1352  services and providers and comprehensive insurance benefits
 1353  appropriate to children, provided that such standards for rural
 1354  areas shall not limit primary care providers to board-certified
 1355  pediatricians.
 1356         6. Determine eligibility for children seeking to
 1357  participate in the Title XXI-funded components of the Florida
 1358  Kidcare program consistent with the requirements specified in s.
 1359  409.814, as well as the non-Title-XXI-eligible children as
 1360  provided in subsection (3).
 1361         7. Establish procedures under which providers of local
 1362  match to, applicants to and participants in the program may have
 1363  grievances reviewed by an impartial body and reported to the
 1364  board of directors of the corporation.
 1365         8. Establish participation criteria and, if appropriate,
 1366  contract with an authorized insurer, health maintenance
 1367  organization, or third-party administrator to provide
 1368  administrative services to the corporation.
 1369         9. Establish enrollment criteria that include penalties or
 1370  waiting periods of 30 days for reinstatement of coverage upon
 1371  voluntary cancellation for nonpayment of family premiums.
 1372         10. Contract with authorized insurers or any provider of
 1373  health care services, meeting standards established by the
 1374  corporation, for the provision of comprehensive insurance
 1375  coverage to participants. Such standards shall include criteria
 1376  under which the corporation may contract with more than one
 1377  provider of health care services in program sites. Health plans
 1378  shall be selected through a competitive bid process. The Florida
 1379  Healthy Kids Corporation shall purchase goods and services in
 1380  the most cost-effective manner consistent with the delivery of
 1381  quality medical care. The maximum administrative cost for a
 1382  Florida Healthy Kids Corporation contract shall be 15 percent.
 1383  For health care contracts, the minimum medical loss ratio for a
 1384  Florida Healthy Kids Corporation contract shall be 85 percent.
 1385  For dental contracts, the remaining compensation to be paid to
 1386  the authorized insurer or provider under a Florida Healthy Kids
 1387  Corporation contract shall be no less than an amount which is 85
 1388  percent of premium; to the extent any contract provision does
 1389  not provide for this minimum compensation, this section shall
 1390  prevail. For an insurer or any provider of health care services
 1391  which achieves an annual medical loss ratio below 85 percent,
 1392  the Florida Healthy Kids Corporation shall validate the medical
 1393  loss ratio and calculate an amount to be refunded by the insurer
 1394  or any provider of health care services to the state which shall
 1395  be deposited into the General Revenue Fund unallocated. The
 1396  health plan selection criteria and scoring system, and the
 1397  scoring results, shall be available upon request for inspection
 1398  after the bids have been awarded.
 1399         11. Establish disenrollment criteria in the event local
 1400  matching funds are insufficient to cover enrollments.
 1401         12. Develop and implement a plan to publicize the Florida
 1402  Kidcare program, the eligibility requirements of the program,
 1403  and the procedures for enrollment in the program and to maintain
 1404  public awareness of the corporation and the program.
 1405         13. Secure staff necessary to properly administer the
 1406  corporation. Staff costs shall be funded from state and local
 1407  matching funds and such other private or public funds as become
 1408  available. The board of directors shall determine the number of
 1409  staff members necessary to administer the corporation.
 1410         14. In consultation with the partner agencies, provide a
 1411  report on the Florida Kidcare program annually to the Governor,
 1412  the Chief Financial Officer, the Commissioner of Education, the
 1413  President of the Senate, the Speaker of the House of
 1414  Representatives, and the Minority Leaders of the Senate and the
 1415  House of Representatives.
 1416         15. Provide information on a quarterly basis to the
 1417  Legislature and the Governor which compares the costs and
 1418  utilization of the full-pay enrolled population and the Title
 1419  XXI-subsidized enrolled population in the Florida Kidcare
 1420  program. The information, at a minimum, must include:
 1421         a. The monthly enrollment and expenditure for full-pay
 1422  enrollees in the Medikids and Florida Healthy Kids programs
 1423  compared to the Title XXI-subsidized enrolled population; and
 1424         b. The costs and utilization by service of the full-pay
 1425  enrollees in the Medikids and Florida Healthy Kids programs and

 1431  Statutes, by this act expires July 1, 2020, and the text of that
 1432  paragraph shall revert to that in existence on June 30, 2019,
 1433  except that any amendments to such text enacted other than by
 1434  this act shall be preserved and continue to operate to the
 1435  extent that such amendments are not dependent upon the portions
 1436  of text which expire pursuant to this section.
 1437         Section 32. In order to implement Specific Appropriations
 1438  533, 534, 539, and 542 of the 2019-2020 General Appropriations
 1439  Act, subsection (17) of section 893.055, Florida Statutes, is
 1440  amended to read:
 1441         893.055 Prescription drug monitoring program.—
 1442         (17) For the 2019-2020 2018-2019 fiscal year only, neither
 1443  the Attorney General nor the department may use funds received
 1444  as part of a settlement agreement to administer the prescription
 1445  drug monitoring program. This subsection expires July 1, 2020
 1446  2019.
 1447         Section 33. In order to implement Specific Appropriation
 1448  204 of the 2019-2020 General Appropriations Act, subsections (2)
 1449  and (10) of section 409.911, Florida Statutes, are amended to
 1450  read:
 1451         409.911 Disproportionate share program.—Subject to specific
 1452  allocations established within the General Appropriations Act
 1453  and any limitations established pursuant to chapter 216, the
 1454  agency shall distribute, pursuant to this section, moneys to
 1455  hospitals providing a disproportionate share of Medicaid or
 1456  charity care services by making quarterly Medicaid payments as
 1457  required. Notwithstanding the provisions of s. 409.915, counties
 1458  are exempt from contributing toward the cost of this special
 1459  reimbursement for hospitals serving a disproportionate share of
 1460  low-income patients.

 1822  increase in the inmate population. All actions taken pursuant to
 1823  this subsection are subject to review and approval by the
 1824  Legislative Budget Commission. This subsection expires July 1,
 1825  2020 2019.
 1826         Section 52. In order to implement Specific Appropriation
 1827  737 of the 2019-2020 General Appropriations Act, and upon the
 1828  expiration and reversion of the amendments made by section 44 of
 1829  chapter 2018-10, Laws of Florida, paragraph (b) of subsection
 1830  (7) of section 1011.80, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:
 1831         1011.80 Funds for operation of workforce education
 1832  programs.—
 1833         (7)
 1834         (b) State funds provided for the operation of postsecondary
 1835  workforce programs may not be expended for the education of
 1836  state or federal inmates, except to the extent that such funds
 1837  are specifically appropriated for such purpose in the 2019-2020
 1838  General Appropriations Act with more than 24 months of time
 1839  remaining to serve on their sentences or federal inmates.
 1840         Section 53. The amendment made to s. 1011.80(7)(b), Florida
 1841  Statutes, by this act expires July 1, 2020, and the text of that
 1842  paragraph shall revert to that in existence on July 1, 2019, but
 1843  not including any amendments made by this act, and any
 1844  amendments to such text enacted other than by this act shall be
 1845  preserved and continue to operate to the extent that such
 1846  amendments are not dependent upon the portions of text which
 1847  expire pursuant to this section.
 1848         Section 54. In order to implement Specific Appropriations
 1849  3208 through 3274 of the 2019-2020 General Appropriations Act,
 1850  subsection (2) of section 215.18, Florida Statutes, is amended
 1851  to read:
 1852         215.18 Transfers between funds; limitation.—
 1853         (2) The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court may receive one
 1854  or more trust fund loans to ensure that the state court system
 1855  has funds sufficient to meet its appropriations in the 2019-2020
 1856  2018-2019 General Appropriations Act. If the Chief Justice
 1857  accesses the loan, he or she must notify the Governor and the
 1858  chairs of the legislative appropriations committees in writing.
 1859  The loan must come from other funds in the State Treasury which
 1860  are for the time being or otherwise in excess of the amounts
 1861  necessary to meet the just requirements of such last-mentioned
 1862  funds. The Governor shall order the transfer of funds within 5
 1863  days after the written notification from the Chief Justice. If
 1864  the Governor does not order the transfer, the Chief Financial
 1865  Officer shall transfer the requested funds. The loan of funds
 1866  from which any money is temporarily transferred must be repaid
 1867  by the end of the 2019-2020 2018-2019 fiscal year. This
 1868  subsection expires July 1, 2020 2019.
 1869         Section 55. (1)In order to implement Specific
 1870  Appropriations 1153 through 1164 of the 2019-2020 General
 1871  Appropriations Act, the Department of Juvenile Justice is
 1872  required to review county juvenile detention payments to ensure
 1873  that counties fulfill their financial responsibilities required
 1874  in s. 985.6865, Florida Statutes. If the Department of Juvenile
 1875  Justice determines that a county has not met its obligations,
 1876  the department shall direct the Department of Revenue to deduct
 1877  the amount owed to the Department of Juvenile Justice from the
 1878  funds provided to the county under s. 218.23, Florida Statutes.
 1879  The Department of Revenue shall transfer the funds withheld to
 1880  the Shared County/State Juvenile Detention Trust Fund.
 1881         (2)As an assurance to holders of bonds issued by counties
 1882  before July 1, 2019, for which distributions made pursuant to s.
 1883  218.23, Florida Statutes, are pledged, or bonds issued to refund
 1884  such bonds which mature no later than the bonds they refunded
 1885  and which result in a reduction of debt service payable in each
 1886  fiscal year, the amount available for distribution to a county
 1887  shall remain as provided by law and continue to be subject to
 1888  any lien or claim on behalf of the bondholders. The Department
 1889  of Revenue must ensure, based on information provided by an
 1890  affected county, that any reduction in amounts distributed
 1891  pursuant to subsection (1) does not reduce the amount of
 1892  distribution to a county below the amount necessary for the
 1893  timely payment of principal and interest when due on the bonds
 1894  and the amount necessary to comply with any covenant under the
 1895  bond resolution or other documents relating to the issuance of
 1896  the bonds. If a reduction to a county’s monthly distribution
 1897  must be decreased in order to comply with this section, the
 1898  Department of Revenue must notify the Department of Juvenile
 1899  Justice of the amount of the decrease, and the Department of
 1900  Juvenile Justice must send a bill for payment of such amount to
 1901  the affected county.
 1902         (3)This section expires July 1, 2020.
 1903         Section 56. In order to implement Specific Appropriations
 1904  761 through 784A, 952 through 1097, and 1118 through 1152 of the
 1905  2019-2020 General Appropriations Act, subsection (1), paragraph
 1906  (a) of subsection (2), paragraph (a) of subsection (3), and
 1907  subsections (5), (6), and (7) of section 27.40, Florida
 1908  Statutes, are amended to read:
 1909         27.40 Court-appointed counsel; circuit registries; minimum
 1910  requirements; appointment by court.—
 1911         (1) Counsel shall be appointed to represent any individual
 1912  in a criminal or civil proceeding entitled to court-appointed
 1913  counsel under the Federal or State Constitution or as authorized
 1914  by general law. The court shall appoint a public defender to
 1915  represent indigent persons as authorized in s. 27.51. The office
 1916  of criminal conflict and civil regional counsel shall be
 1917  appointed to represent persons in those cases in which provision
 1918  is made for court-appointed counsel, but only after the public
 1919  defender has certified to the court in writing that the public
 1920  defender is unable to provide representation due to a conflict
 1921  of interest or is not authorized to provide representation. The
 1922  public defender shall report, in the aggregate, the specific
 1923  basis of all conflicts of interest certified to the court. On a
 1924  quarterly basis, the public defender shall submit this
 1925  information to the Justice Administrative Commission.
 1926         (2)(a) Private counsel shall be appointed to represent
 1927  persons in those cases in which provision is made for court
 1928  appointed counsel but only after the office of criminal conflict
 1929  and civil regional counsel has been appointed and has certified
 1930  to the court in writing that the criminal conflict and civil
 1931  regional counsel is unable to provide representation due to a
 1932  conflict of interest. The criminal conflict and civil regional
 1933  counsel shall report, in the aggregate, the specific basis of
 1934  all conflicts of interest certified to the court. On a quarterly
 1935  basis, the criminal conflict and civil regional counsel shall
 1936  submit this information to the Justice Administrative
 1937  Commission.
 1938         (3) In using a registry:
 1939         (a) The chief judge of the circuit shall compile a list of
 1940  attorneys in private practice, by county and by category of
 1941  cases, and provide the list to the clerk of court in each
 1942  county. The chief judge of the circuit may restrict the number
 1943  of attorneys on the general registry list. To be included on a
 1944  registry, an attorney must certify that he or she:
 1945         1. Meets any minimum requirements established by the chief
 1946  judge and by general law for court appointment;
 1947         2. Is available to represent indigent defendants in cases
 1948  requiring court appointment of private counsel; and
 1949         3. Is willing to abide by the terms of the contract for
 1950  services, s. 27.5304, and this section.
 1951  
 1952  To be included on a registry, an attorney must enter into a
 1953  contract for services with the Justice Administrative
 1954  Commission. Failure to comply with the terms of the contract for
 1955  services may result in termination of the contract and removal
 1956  from the registry. Each attorney on the registry is responsible
 1957  for notifying the clerk of the court and the Justice
 1958  Administrative Commission of any change in his or her status.
 1959  Failure to comply with this requirement is cause for termination
 1960  of the contract for services and removal from the registry until
 1961  the requirement is fulfilled.
 1962         (5) The Justice Administrative Commission shall approve
 1963  uniform contract forms for use in procuring the services of
 1964  private court-appointed counsel and uniform procedures and forms
 1965  for use by a court-appointed attorney in support of billing for
 1966  attorney’s fees, costs, and related expenses to demonstrate the
 1967  attorney’s completion of specified duties. Such uniform
 1968  contracts and forms for use in billing must be consistent with
 1969  s. 27.5304, s. 216.311, and the General Appropriations Act and
 1970  must contain the following statement: “The State of Florida’s
 1971  performance and obligation to pay under this contract is
 1972  contingent upon an annual appropriation by the Legislature.”
 1973         (6) After court appointment, the attorney must immediately
 1974  file a notice of appearance with the court indicating acceptance
 1975  of the appointment to represent the defendant and of the terms
 1976  of the uniform contract as specified in subsection (5).
 1977         (7)(a) A private attorney appointed by the court from the
 1978  registry to represent a client is entitled to payment as
 1979  provided in s. 27.5304 so long as the requirements of subsection
 1980  (1) and paragraph (2)(a) are met. An attorney appointed by the
 1981  court who is not on the registry list may be compensated under
 1982  s. 27.5304 only if the court finds in the order of appointment
 1983  that there were no registry attorneys available for
 1984  representation for that case and only if the requirements of
 1985  subsection (1) and paragraph (2)(a) are met.
 1986         (b)1. The flat fee established in s. 27.5304 and the
 1987  General Appropriations Act shall be presumed by the court to be
 1988  sufficient compensation. The attorney shall maintain appropriate
 1989  documentation, including contemporaneous and detailed hourly
 1990  accounting of time spent representing the client. If the
 1991  attorney fails to maintain such contemporaneous and detailed
 1992  hourly records, the attorney waives the right to seek
 1993  compensation in excess of the flat fee established in s. 27.5304
 1994  and the General Appropriations Act. These records and documents
 1995  are subject to review by the Justice Administrative Commission
 1996  and audit by the Auditor General, subject to the attorney-client
 1997  privilege and work-product privilege. The attorney shall
 1998  maintain the records and documents in a manner that enables the
 1999  attorney to redact any information subject to a privilege in
 2000  order to facilitate the commission’s review of the records and
 2001  documents and not to impede such review. The attorney may redact
 2002  information from the records and documents only to the extent
 2003  necessary to comply with the privilege. The Justice
 2004  Administrative Commission shall review such records and shall
 2005  contemporaneously document such review before authorizing
 2006  payment to an attorney. Objections by or on behalf of the
 2007  Justice Administrative Commission to records or documents or to
 2008  claims for payment by the attorney shall be presumed correct by
 2009  the court unless the court determines in writing competent and
 2010  substantial evidence exists to justify overcoming the
 2011  presumption.
 2012         2. If an attorney fails, refuses, or declines to permit the
 2013  commission or the Auditor General to review documentation for a
 2014  case as provided in this paragraph, the attorney waives the
 2015  right to seek, and the commission may not pay, compensation in
 2016  excess of the flat fee established in s. 27.5304 and the General
 2017  Appropriations Act for that case.
 2018         3. A finding by the commission that an attorney has waived
 2019  the right to seek compensation in excess of the flat fee
 2020  established in s. 27.5304 and the General Appropriations Act, as
 2021  provided in this paragraph, shall be is presumed to be correct
 2022  valid, unless the, as determined by a court determines, in
 2023  writing, that competent and substantial evidence exists to
 2024  justify overcoming the presumption, the commission’s finding is
 2025  not supported by competent and substantial evidence.
 2026         Section 57. The amendments to s. 27.40(1), (2)(a), (3)(a),
 2027  (5), (6), and (7), Florida Statutes, by this act expire July 1,
 2028  2020, and the text of those subsections and paragraphs, as
 2029  applicable, shall revert to that in existence on June 30, 2019,
 2030  except that any amendments to such text enacted other than by
 2031  this act shall be preserved and continue to operate to the
 2032  extent that such amendments are not dependent upon the portions
 2033  of text which expire pursuant to this section.
 2034         Section 58. In order to implement Specific Appropriations
 2035  761 through 784A, 952 through 1097, and 1118 through 1152 of the
 2036  2019-2020 General Appropriations Act, subsections (1), (3), (7),
 2037  and (11), paragraphs (a) through (e) of subsection (12), and
 2038  subsection (13) of section 27.5304, Florida Statutes, are
 2039  amended to read:
 2040         27.5304 Private court-appointed counsel; compensation;
 2041  notice.—
 2042         (1) Private court-appointed counsel appointed in the manner
 2043  prescribed in s. 27.40(1) and (2)(a) shall be compensated by the
 2044  Justice Administrative Commission only as provided in this
 2045  section and the General Appropriations Act. The flat fees
 2046  prescribed in this section are limitations on compensation. The
 2047  specific flat fee amounts for compensation shall be established
 2048  annually in the General Appropriations Act. The attorney also
 2049  shall be reimbursed for reasonable and necessary expenses in
 2050  accordance with s. 29.007. If the attorney is representing a
 2051  defendant charged with more than one offense in the same case,
 2052  the attorney shall be compensated at the rate provided for the
 2053  most serious offense for which he or she represented the
 2054  defendant. This section does not allow stacking of the fee
 2055  limits established by this section.
 2056         (3) The court retains primary authority and responsibility
 2057  for determining the reasonableness of all billings for attorney
 2058  fees, costs, and related expenses, subject to statutory
 2059  limitations and the requirements of s. 27.40(7). Private court
 2060  appointed counsel is entitled to compensation upon final
 2061  disposition of a case.
 2062         (7) Counsel eligible entitled to receive compensation from
 2063  the state for representation pursuant to court appointment made
 2064  in accordance with the requirements of s. 27.40(1) and (2)(a) in
 2065  a proceeding under chapter 384, chapter 390, chapter 392,
 2066  chapter 393, chapter 394, chapter 397, chapter 415, chapter 743,
 2067  chapter 744, or chapter 984 shall receive compensation not to
 2068  exceed the limits prescribed in the General Appropriations Act.
 2069  Any such compensation must be determined as provided in s.
 2070  27.40(7).
 2071         (11) It is the intent of the Legislature that the flat fees
 2072  prescribed under this section and the General Appropriations Act
 2073  comprise the full and complete compensation for private court
 2074  appointed counsel. It is further the intent of the Legislature
 2075  that the fees in this section are prescribed for the purpose of
 2076  providing counsel with notice of the limit on the amount of
 2077  compensation for representation in particular proceedings and
 2078  the sole procedure and requirements for obtaining payment for
 2079  the same.
 2080         (a) If court-appointed counsel moves to withdraw prior to
 2081  the full performance of his or her duties through the completion
 2082  of the case, the court shall presume that the attorney is not
 2083  entitled to the payment of the full flat fee established under
 2084  this section and the General Appropriations Act.
 2085         (b) If court-appointed counsel is allowed to withdraw from
 2086  representation prior to the full performance of his or her
 2087  duties through the completion of the case and the court appoints
 2088  a subsequent attorney, the total compensation for the initial
 2089  and any and all subsequent attorneys may not exceed the flat fee
 2090  established under this section and the General Appropriations
 2091  Act, except as provided in subsection (12).
 2092  
 2093  This subsection constitutes notice to any subsequently appointed
 2094  attorney that he or she will not be compensated the full flat
 2095  fee.
 2096         (12) The Legislature recognizes that on rare occasions an
 2097  attorney may receive a case that requires extraordinary and
 2098  unusual effort.
 2099         (a) If counsel seeks compensation that exceeds the limits
 2100  prescribed by law, he or she must file a motion with the chief
 2101  judge for an order approving payment of attorney fees in excess
 2102  of these limits.
 2103         1. Before filing the motion, the counsel shall deliver a
 2104  copy of the intended billing, together with supporting
 2105  affidavits and all other necessary documentation, to the Justice
 2106  Administrative Commission.
 2107         2. The Justice Administrative Commission shall review the
 2108  billings, affidavit, and documentation for completeness and
 2109  compliance with contractual and statutory requirements and shall
 2110  contemporaneously document such review before authorizing
 2111  payment to an attorney. If the Justice Administrative Commission
 2112  objects to any portion of the proposed billing, the objection
 2113  and supporting reasons must be communicated in writing to the
 2114  private court-appointed counsel. The counsel may thereafter file
 2115  his or her motion, which must specify whether the commission
 2116  objects to any portion of the billing or the sufficiency of
 2117  documentation, and shall attach the commission’s letter stating
 2118  its objection.
 2119         (b) Following receipt of the motion to exceed the fee
 2120  limits, the chief judge or a single designee shall hold an
 2121  evidentiary hearing. The chief judge may select only one judge
 2122  per circuit to hear and determine motions pursuant to this
 2123  subsection, except multicounty circuits and the eleventh circuit
 2124  may have up to two designees.
 2125         1. At the hearing, the attorney seeking compensation must
 2126  prove by competent and substantial evidence that the case
 2127  required extraordinary and unusual efforts. The chief judge or
 2128  single designee shall consider criteria such as the number of
 2129  witnesses, the complexity of the factual and legal issues, and
 2130  the length of trial. The fact that a trial was conducted in a
 2131  case does not, by itself, constitute competent substantial
 2132  evidence of an extraordinary and unusual effort. In a criminal
 2133  case, relief under this section may not be granted if the number
 2134  of work hours does not exceed 75 or the number of the state’s
 2135  witnesses deposed does not exceed 20.
 2136         2. Objections by or on behalf of the Justice Administrative
 2137  Commission to records or documents or to claims for payment by
 2138  the attorney shall be presumed correct by the court unless the
 2139  court determines, in writing, that competent and substantial
 2140  evidence exists to justify overcoming the presumption. The chief
 2141  judge or single designee shall enter a written order detailing
 2142  his or her findings and identifying the extraordinary nature of
 2143  the time and efforts of the attorney in the case which warrant
 2144  exceeding the flat fee established by this section and the
 2145  General Appropriations Act.
 2146         (c) A copy of the motion and attachments shall be served on
 2147  the Justice Administrative Commission at least 20 5 business
 2148  days before the date of a hearing. The Justice Administrative
 2149  Commission has standing to appear before the court, and may
 2150  appear in person or telephonically, including at the hearing
 2151  under paragraph (b), to contest any motion for an order
 2152  approving payment of attorney fees, costs, or related expenses
 2153  and may participate in a hearing on the motion by use of
 2154  telephonic or other communication equipment. The Justice
 2155  Administrative Commission may contract with other public or
 2156  private entities or individuals to appear before the court for
 2157  the purpose of contesting any motion for an order approving
 2158  payment of attorney fees, costs, or related expenses. The fact
 2159  that the Justice Administrative Commission has not objected to
 2160  any portion of the billing or to the sufficiency of the
 2161  documentation is not binding on the court.
 2162         (d) If the chief judge or a single designee finds that
 2163  counsel has proved by competent and substantial evidence that
 2164  the case required extraordinary and unusual efforts, the chief
 2165  judge or single designee shall order the compensation to be paid
 2166  to the attorney at a percentage above the flat fee rate,
 2167  depending on the extent of the unusual and extraordinary effort
 2168  required. The percentage must be only the rate necessary to
 2169  ensure that the fees paid are not confiscatory under common law.
 2170  The percentage may not exceed 200 percent of the established
 2171  flat fee, absent a specific finding that 200 percent of the flat
 2172  fee in the case would be confiscatory. If the chief judge or
 2173  single designee determines that 200 percent of the flat fee
 2174  would be confiscatory, he or she shall order the amount of
 2175  compensation using an hourly rate not to exceed $75 per hour for
 2176  a noncapital case and $100 per hour for a capital case. However,
 2177  the compensation calculated by using the hourly rate shall be
 2178  only that amount necessary to ensure that the total fees paid
 2179  are not confiscatory, subject to the requirements of s.
 2180  27.40(7).
 2181         (e) Any order granting relief under this subsection must be
 2182  attached to the final request for a payment submitted to the
 2183  Justice Administrative Commission and must satisfy the
 2184  requirements of subparagraph (b)2.
 2185         (13) Notwithstanding the limitation set forth in subsection
 2186  (5) and for the 2019-2020 2018-2019 fiscal year only, the
 2187  compensation for representation in a criminal proceeding may not
 2188  exceed the following:
 2189         (a) For misdemeanors and juveniles represented at the trial
 2190  level: $1,000.
 2191         (b) For noncapital, nonlife felonies represented at the
 2192  trial level: $15,000.
 2193         (c) For life felonies represented at the trial level:
 2194  $15,000.
 2195         (d) For capital cases represented at the trial level:
 2196  $25,000. For purposes of this paragraph, a “capital case” is any
 2197  offense for which the potential sentence is death and the state
 2198  has not waived seeking the death penalty.
 2199         (e) For representation on appeal: $9,000.
 2200         (f) This subsection expires July 1, 2020 2019.
 2201         Section 59. The amendments to s. 27.5304(1), (3), (7),
 2202  (11), and (12)(a)-(e), Florida Statutes, by this act expire July
 2203  1, 2020, and the text of those subsections and paragraphs, as
 2204  applicable, shall revert to that in existence on June 30, 2019,
 2205  except that any amendments to such text enacted other than by
 2206  this act shall be preserved and continue to operate to the
 2207  extent that such amendments are not dependent upon the portions

 2792         (3) Notwithstanding subsection (1) and only with respect to
 2793  a land acquisition trust fund in the Department of Agriculture
 2794  and Consumer Services, the Department of Environmental
 2795  Protection, the Department of State, or the Fish and Wildlife
 2796  Conservation Commission, whenever there is a deficiency in a
 2797  land acquisition trust fund which would render that trust fund
 2798  temporarily insufficient to meet its just requirements,
 2799  including the timely payment of appropriations from that trust
 2800  fund, and other trust funds in the State Treasury have moneys
 2801  that are for the time being or otherwise in excess of the
 2802  amounts necessary to meet the just requirements, including
 2803  appropriated obligations, of those other trust funds, the
 2804  Governor may order a temporary transfer of moneys from one or
 2805  more of the other trust funds to a land acquisition trust fund
 2806  in the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the
 2807  Department of Environmental Protection, the Department of State,
 2808  or the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Any action

 2818  Consumer Services, the Department of Environmental Protection,
 2819  the Department of State, or the Fish and Wildlife Conservation
 2820  Commission must be repaid to the trust funds from which the
 2821  moneys were loaned by the end of the 2019-2020 2018-2019 fiscal

 2825  Services, the Department of Environmental Protection, the
 2826  Department of State, or the Fish and Wildlife Conservation

 2829  from other trust funds temporarily loaned to a land acquisition
 2830  trust fund shall be expended solely and exclusively in
 2831  accordance with s. 28, Art. X of the State Constitution. This
 2832  subsection expires July 1, 2020 2019.

 2834  appropriations from the land acquisition trust funds within the
 2835  Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the Department
 2836  of Environmental Protection, the Department of State, and the
 2837  Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, which are contained
 2838  in the 2019-2020 General Appropriations Act, the Department of
 2839  Environmental Protection shall transfer revenues from the Land
 2840  Acquisition Trust Fund within the department to the land
 2841  acquisition trust funds within the Department of Agriculture and
 2842  Consumer Services, the Department of State, and the Fish and
 2843  Wildlife Conservation Commission, as provided in this section.
 2844  As used in this section, the term “department” means the
 2845  Department of Environmental Protection.
 2846         (2)After subtracting any required debt service payments,
 2847  the proportionate share of revenues to be transferred to each
 2848  land acquisition trust fund shall be calculated by dividing the
 2849  appropriations from each of the land acquisition trust funds for
 2850  the fiscal year by the total appropriations from the Land
 2851  Acquisition Trust Fund within the department and the land
 2852  acquisition trust funds within the Department of Agriculture and
 2853  Consumer Services, the Department of State, and the Fish and
 2854  Wildlife Conservation Commission for the fiscal year. The
 2855  department shall transfer the proportionate share of the
 2856  revenues in the Land Acquisition Trust Fund within the
 2857  department on a monthly basis to the appropriate land
 2858  acquisition trust funds within the Department of Agriculture and
 2859  Consumer Services, the Department of State, and the Fish and
 2860  Wildlife Conservation Commission and shall retain its
 2861  proportionate share of the revenues in the Land Acquisition
 2862  Trust Fund within the department. Total distributions to a land
 2863  acquisition trust fund within the Department of Agriculture and
 2864  Consumer Services, the Department of State, and the Fish and
 2865  Wildlife Conservation Commission may not exceed the total
 2866  appropriations from such trust fund for the fiscal year.
 2867         (3)In addition, the department shall transfer from the
 2868  Land Acquisition Trust Fund to land acquisition trust funds
 2869  within the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the
 2870  Department of State, and the Fish and Wildlife Conservation
 2871  Commission amounts equal to the difference between the amounts
 2872  appropriated in chapter 2018-9, Laws of Florida, to the
 2873  department’s Land Acquisition Trust Fund and the other land
 2874  acquisition trust funds, and the amounts actually transferred
 2875  between those trust funds during the 2018-2019 fiscal year.
 2876         (4)The department may advance funds from the beginning
 2877  unobligated fund balance in the Land Acquisition Trust Fund to
 2878  the Land Acquisition Trust Fund within the Fish and Wildlife
 2879  Conservation Commission needed for cash flow purposes based on a
 2880  detailed expenditure plan. The department shall prorate amounts
 2881  transferred quarterly to the Fish and Wildlife Conservation
 2882  Commission to recoup the amount of funds advanced by June 30,
 2883  2020.
 2884         (5)This section expires July 1, 2020.

 2919  harmful discharges of water from Lake Okeechobee to the St.
 2920  Lucie or Caloosahatchee estuaries in a timely manner. For the
 2921  purpose of performing the calculation provided in this

 2941  subparagraph.
 2942         3. The sum of $5 million shall be appropriated annually
 2943  each fiscal year through the 2025-2026 fiscal year to the St.
 2944  Johns River Water Management District for projects dedicated to

 3343  assignment of an employee of a state agency as provided in this
 3344  section may be made if recommended by the Governor or Chief
 3345  Justice, as appropriate, and approved by the chairs of the
 3346  legislative appropriations committees. Such actions shall be
 3347  deemed approved if neither chair provides written notice of
 3348  objection within 14 days after receiving notice of the action
 3349  pursuant to s. 216.177. This subsection expires July 1, 2020
 3350  2019.
 3351         Section 108. In order to implement Specific Appropriations
 3352  2751 and 2752 of the 2019-2020 General Appropriations Act, and
 3353  notwithstanding s. 11.13(1), Florida Statutes, the authorized
 3354  salaries for members of the Legislature for the 2019-2020 fiscal
 3355  year shall be set at the same level in effect on July 1, 2010.
 3356  This section expires July 1, 2020.
 3357         Section 109. In order to implement the transfer of funds to
 3358  the General Revenue Fund from trust funds for the 2019-2020
 3359  General Appropriations Act, and notwithstanding the expiration
 3360  date in section 83 of chapter 2018-10, Laws of Florida,
 3361  paragraph (b) of subsection (2) of section 215.32, Florida
 3362  Statutes, is reenacted to read:
 3363         215.32 State funds; segregation.—
 3364         (2) The source and use of each of these funds shall be as
 3365  follows:
 3366         (b)1. The trust funds shall consist of moneys received by
 3367  the state which under law or under trust agreement are
 3368  segregated for a purpose authorized by law. The state agency or
 3369  branch of state government receiving or collecting such moneys
 3370  is responsible for their proper expenditure as provided by law.
 3371  Upon the request of the state agency or branch of state
 3372  government responsible for the administration of the trust fund,
 3373  the Chief Financial Officer may establish accounts within the
 3374  trust fund at a level considered necessary for proper
 3375  accountability. Once an account is established, the Chief
 3376  Financial Officer may authorize payment from that account only
 3377  upon determining that there is sufficient cash and releases at
 3378  the level of the account.
 3379         2. In addition to other trust funds created by law, to the
 3380  extent possible, each agency shall use the following trust funds
 3381  as described in this subparagraph for day-to-day operations:
 3382         a. Operations or operating trust fund, for use as a
 3383  depository for funds to be used for program operations funded by
 3384  program revenues, with the exception of administrative
 3385  activities when the operations or operating trust fund is a
 3386  proprietary fund.
 3387         b. Operations and maintenance trust fund, for use as a
 3388  depository for client services funded by third-party payors.
 3389         c. Administrative trust fund, for use as a depository for
 3390  funds to be used for management activities that are departmental
 3391  in nature and funded by indirect cost earnings and assessments
 3392  against trust funds. Proprietary funds are excluded from the
 3393  requirement of using an administrative trust fund.
 3394         d. Grants and donations trust fund, for use as a depository
 3395  for funds to be used for allowable grant or donor agreement
 3396  activities funded by restricted contractual revenue from private
 3397  and public nonfederal sources.
 3398         e. Agency working capital trust fund, for use as a
 3399  depository for funds to be used pursuant to s. 216.272.
 3400         f. Clearing funds trust fund, for use as a depository for
 3401  funds to account for collections pending distribution to lawful
 3402  recipients.
 3403         g. Federal grant trust fund, for use as a depository for
 3404  funds to be used for allowable grant activities funded by
 3405  restricted program revenues from federal sources.
 3406  
 3407  To the extent possible, each agency must adjust its internal
 3408  accounting to use existing trust funds consistent with the
 3409  requirements of this subparagraph. If an agency does not have
 3410  trust funds listed in this subparagraph and cannot make such
 3411  adjustment, the agency must recommend the creation of the
 3412  necessary trust funds to the Legislature no later than the next
 3413  scheduled review of the agency’s trust funds pursuant to s.
 3414  215.3206.
 3415         3. All such moneys are hereby appropriated to be expended
 3416  in accordance with the law or trust agreement under which they
 3417  were received, subject always to the provisions of chapter 216
 3418  relating to the appropriation of funds and to the applicable
 3419  laws relating to the deposit or expenditure of moneys in the
 3420  State Treasury.
 3421         4.a. Notwithstanding any provision of law restricting the
 3422  use of trust funds to specific purposes, unappropriated cash
 3423  balances from selected trust funds may be authorized by the
 3424  Legislature for transfer to the Budget Stabilization Fund and
 3425  General Revenue Fund in the General Appropriations Act.
 3426         b. This subparagraph does not apply to trust funds required
 3427  by federal programs or mandates; trust funds established for
 3428  bond covenants, indentures, or resolutions whose revenues are
 3429  legally pledged by the state or public body to meet debt service
 3430  or other financial requirements of any debt obligations of the
 3431  state or any public body; the Division of Licensing Trust Fund
 3432  in the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services; the
 3433  State Transportation Trust Fund; the trust fund containing the
 3434  net annual proceeds from the Florida Education Lotteries; the
 3435  Florida Retirement System Trust Fund; trust funds under the
 3436  management of the State Board of Education or the Board of
 3437  Governors of the State University System, where such trust funds
 3438  are for auxiliary enterprises, self-insurance, and contracts,
 3439  grants, and donations, as those terms are defined by general
 3440  law; trust funds that serve as clearing funds or accounts for
 3441  the Chief Financial Officer or state agencies; trust funds that
 3442  account for assets held by the state in a trustee capacity as an
 3443  agent or fiduciary for individuals, private organizations, or
 3444  other governmental units; and other trust funds authorized by
 3445  the State Constitution.
 3446         Section 110. The text of s. 215.32(2)(b), Florida Statutes,
 3447  as carried forward from chapter 2011-47, Laws of Florida, by
 3448  this act, expires July 1, 2020, and the text of that paragraph
 3449  shall revert to that in existence on June 30, 2011, except that
 3450  any amendments to such text enacted other than by this act shall
 3451  be preserved and continue to operate to the extent that such
 3452  amendments are not dependent upon the portions of text which
 3453  expire pursuant to this section.
 3454         Section 111. In order to implement appropriations in the
 3455  2019-2020 General Appropriations Act for state employee travel,
 3456  the funds appropriated to each state agency which may be used
 3457  for travel by state employees are limited during the 2019-2020
 3458  fiscal year to travel for activities that are critical to each
 3459  state agency’s mission. Funds may not be used for travel by
 3460  state employees to foreign countries, other states, conferences,
 3461  staff training activities, or other administrative functions
 3462  unless the agency head has approved, in writing, that such
 3463  activities are critical to the agency’s mission. The agency head
 3464  shall consider using teleconferencing and other forms of
 3465  electronic communication to meet the needs of the proposed
 3466  activity before approving mission-critical travel. This section
 3467  does not apply to travel for law enforcement purposes, military
 3468  purposes, emergency management activities, or public health
 3469  activities. This section expires July 1, 2020.
 3470         Section 112. In order to implement appropriations in the
 3471  2019-2020 General Appropriations Act for state employee travel
 3472  and notwithstanding s. 112.061, Florida Statutes, costs for
 3473  lodging associated with a meeting, conference, or convention
 3474  organized or sponsored in whole or in part by a state agency or
 3475  the judicial branch may not exceed $150 per day. An employee may
 3476  expend his or her own funds for any lodging expenses in excess
 3477  of $150 per day. For purposes of this section, a meeting does
 3478  not include travel activities for conducting an audit,
 3479  examination, inspection, or investigation or travel activities
 3480  related to a litigation or emergency response. This section
 3481  expires July 1, 2020.
 3482         Section 113. In order to implement the appropriation of
 3483  funds in the special categories, contracted services, and
 3484  expenses categories of the 2019-2020 General Appropriations Act,
 3485  a state agency may not enter into a contract containing a
 3486  nondisclosure clause that prohibits the contractor from
 3487  disclosing information relevant to the performance of the
 3488  contract to members or staff of the Senate or the House of
 3489  Representatives. This section expires July 1, 2020.
 3490         Section 114. Any section of this act which implements a
 3491  specific appropriation or specifically identified proviso
 3492  language in the 2019-2020 General Appropriations Act is void if
 3493  the specific appropriation or specifically identified proviso
 3494  language is vetoed. Any section of this act which implements
 3495  more than one specific appropriation or more than one portion of
 3496  specifically identified proviso language in the 2019-2020
 3497  General Appropriations Act is void if all the specific
 3498  appropriations or portions of specifically identified proviso
 3499  language are vetoed.
 3500         Section 115. If any other act passed during the 2019
 3501  Regular Session of the Legislature contains a provision that is
 3502  substantively the same as a provision in this act, but that
 3503  removes or is otherwise not subject to the future repeal applied
 3504  to such provision by this act, the Legislature intends that the
 3505  provision in the other act takes precedence and continues to
 3506  operate, notwithstanding the future repeal provided by this act.
 3507         Section 116. If any provision of this act or its
 3508  application to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the
 3509  invalidity does not affect other provisions or applications of
 3510  the act which can be given effect without the invalid provision
 3511  or application, and to this end the provisions of this act are
 3512  severable.
 3513         Section 117. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this
 3514  act and except for this section, which shall take effect upon
 3515  this act becoming a law, this act shall take effect July 1,
 3516  2019; or, if this act fails to become a law until after that
 3517  date, it shall take effect upon becoming a law and shall operate
 3518  retroactively to July 1, 2019.
