Funds in Specific Appropriation 127A are intended to support, to the
maximum extent feasible, the provision of vocational rehabilitation
services through community-based rehabilitation programs, as provided in
ch. 99-240, L.O.F., and as may be clarified by the Legislature during
the 2000 Regular Session.  To that end, and upon approval by the
applicable federal agency of corresponding revisions to the required
state plan governing the delivery of vocational rehabilitation services
under the federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, the Department
of Education, in conjunction with the Occupational Access and
Opportunity Commission, is authorized to reduce the number of positions
in this specific appropriation to a level not to exceed 300 positions. 
The department, in conjunction with the Occupational Access and
Opportunity Commission, further is authorized to redirect savings
resulting from the reduction in positions toward Specific Appropriation

127C for purchased client services.  The reduction in positions
authorized under this proviso may occur in phases, but such reduction
must be completed within nine months of the approval by the applicable
federal agency of the revisions to the required state plan.  The
department, in conjunction with the Occupational Access and Opportunity
Commission, must submit a budget amendment as required under s. 216.177,
F.S., to effectuate any such reduction in positions.

Line item amendments are accepted as part of the amendatory process. However, due to the necessity of using computerized systems this may entail a different placement within a budget entity or the renumbering of the specific appropriation items.
