18  At the regular session immediately following the submission of

21  an amount equal to at least 10 percent of the allocation for

22  the fiscal year preceding the current fiscal year, the funding

25         Section 3.  Subsections (8), (9), and (10) of section

26  216.181, Florida Statutes, are repealed.

27         Section 4.  Subsection (1) of section 216.251, Florida

28  Statutes, is amended to read:

29         216.251  Salary appropriations; limitations.--

30         (1)  Except as provided in s. 216.262(1)(h), the annual

                                                  SENATE AMENDMENT

    Amendment No. ___   Barcode 484182





  1  specifically named in an item in the appropriations acts shall

  2  be as provided in one of the following paragraphs:

  3         (a)  In the amount appropriated for such position;

  4         (b)  The amount appropriated in an item for the named

  5  positions in that item, shall be divided by the indicated

  6  number of such positions, and the resulting quotient shall be

  7  the annual rate of salary of each such position; or

  8         (c)  Within the amounts appropriated where such salary

  9  may be otherwise fixed pursuant to law.

10         Section 5.  Paragraph (h) is added to subsection (1) of

11  section 216.262, Florida Statutes, to read:

12         216.262  Authorized positions.--

13         (1)

14         (h)  The Legislature recognizes the value of providing

15  incentives to retain a quality workforce and that, oftentimes,

16  necessary efficiency and cost-saving measures may lead to

17  increased workloads and demands on the state workforce.

18  Therefore, it is the intent of the Legislature to allow

19  agencies to retain a portion of the savings that would be

20  generated based on changes to authorized positions and to use

21  those savings for permanent salary increases. To be eligible,

22  an agency must submit to the Legislative Budgeting Commission

23  its plan identifying the modification to an approved program

24  resulting in efficiency and cost savings. The agency's plan

25  must demonstrate how the agency intends to meet its goals and

26  objectives established in the long-range program plan, as well

27  as meet the performance standards established by the

28  Legislature. The Legislative Budgeting Commission shall

29  determine the amount to be retained by the agency. In

30  determining that amount, the Legislative Budgeting Commission

31  shall consider the actual savings for the current year and the

                                  2

  1  annualized savings. The amount to be retained must be set by

  2  the Legislative Budget Commission at no less than 10 percent

  3  and no more than 30 percent of the actual savings and must be

  4  used for permanent salary increases that are specified in the

  5  agency's plan.

  6         Section 6.  Section 216.1826, Florida Statutes, is

  7  created to read:

  8         216.1826  Activity-based planning and budgeting.--

  9         (1)  Beginning July 1, 2003, and continuing thereafter,

10  the state budget must be structured to encompass the

11  principles of activity-based planning and budgeting. In

12  preparation for the legislative budget requests and long-range

13  program plans for fiscal year 2003-2004, agencies shall work

14  in consultation with the Executive Office of the Governor and

15  with the appropriations and appropriate substantive committees

16  of the Legislature to identify and reach consensus on the

17  appropriate services and activities for activity-based

18  budgeting. It is the intent of the Legislature that all

19  dollars within an agency be allocated to the appropriate

20  activity for budgeting purposes. Additionally, agencies shall

21  examine approved performance measures and recommend any

22  changes so that outcomes are clearly delineated for each

23  service or program, or both, as appropriate, and outputs are

24  aligned with activities. Output measures must be capable of

25  being used to generate a unit cost for each activity,

26  resulting in a true accounting of what the state should spend

27  on each activity it provides and what the state should expect

28  to accomplish with those funds.

29         (2)  Directions for developing activity-based budgets

30  and plans must be included in the instructions for the

31  Legislative Budget Request and Long-range Program Plan for

                                  3
