763distribution; demographic information, including, but not
764limited to, age, gender, race, and cultural considerations; and

769years or longer. The Legislature recognizes that strategies to
770provide for a well-trained supply of physicians must include
771ensuring the availability and capacity of quality graduate
772medical schools and graduate medical education programs in this
773state, as well as using new or existing state and federal

802the number of qualified medical school applicants who might
803become competent, practicing physicians in this state will be

806representatives of appropriate governmental and nongovernmental
807entities, develop strategies and recommendations and identify

1000read:
1001     392.51  Findings and intent.-The Legislature finds and
1002declares that active tuberculosis is a highly contagious
1003infection that is sometimes fatal and constitutes a serious
1004threat to the public health. The Legislature finds that there is
1005a significant reservoir of tuberculosis infection in this state
1006and that there is a need to develop community programs to
1007identify tuberculosis and to respond quickly with appropriate
1008measures. The Legislature finds that some patients who have
1009active tuberculosis have complex medical, social, and economic
1010problems that make outpatient control of the disease difficult,
1011if not impossible, without posing a threat to the public health.
1012The Legislature finds that in order to protect the citizenry
1013from those few persons who pose a threat to the public, it is
1014necessary to establish a system of mandatory contact
1015identification, treatment to cure, hospitalization, and
1016isolation for contagious cases and to provide a system of
1017voluntary, community-oriented care and surveillance in all other
1018cases. The Legislature finds that the delivery of tuberculosis
1019control services is best accomplished by the coordinated efforts
1020of the respective county health departments, the A.G. Holley
1021State Hospital, and the private health care delivery system.
1022     Section 9.  Subsection (5) is added to section 392.69,

1031the President of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House of
1032Representatives by November 1, 2010. The plan shall include the

1050     1.  An early learning coalition may not implement the

1080and prekindergarten services in the coalition's county or
1081multicounty region until the coalition is reestablished through
1082resubmission of a school readiness plan and approval by the
1083agency.
1084     4.  The Agency for Workforce Innovation shall adopt
1085criteria for the approval of school readiness plans. The
1086criteria must be consistent with the performance standards and
1087outcome measures adopted by the agency and must require each
1088approved plan to include the following minimum standards and
1089provisions:
1090     a.  A sliding fee scale establishing a copayment for

1114child care resource and referral, eligibility determinations,
1115training of providers, and parent support and involvement.

1121coalition, which must include the coalition's articles of
1122incorporation and bylaws if the coalition is organized as a
1123corporation. If the coalition is not organized as a corporation
1124or other business entity, the plan must include the contract
1125with a fiscal agent. An early learning coalition may contract
1126with other coalitions to achieve efficiency in multicounty
1127services, and these contracts may be part of the coalition's
1128school readiness plan.
1129     j.  Strategies to meet the needs of unique populations,
1130such as migrant workers.
1131
1132As part of the school readiness plan, the early learning
1133coalition may request the Governor to apply for a waiver to
1134allow the coalition to administer the Head Start Program to
1135accomplish the purposes of the school readiness program. If a
1136school readiness plan demonstrates that specific statutory goals
1137can be achieved more effectively by using procedures that
1138require modification of existing rules, policies, or procedures,
1139a request for a waiver to the Agency for Workforce Innovation
1140may be submitted as part of the plan. Upon review, the Agency

1149shall be controlled by the early learning coalition. The plan
1150shall be reviewed and revised as necessary, but at least
1151biennially. An early learning coalition may not implement the
1152revisions until the coalition submits the revised plan to and
1153receives approval from the Agency for Workforce Innovation. If
1154the Agency for Workforce Innovation rejects a revised plan, the
1155coalition must continue to operate under its prior approved
1156plan.
1157     7.  Sections 125.901(2)(a)3. and, 411.221, and 411.232 do
1158not apply to an early learning coalition with an approved school
1159readiness plan. To facilitate innovative practices and to allow
1160the regional establishment of school readiness programs, an
1161early learning coalition may apply to the Governor and Cabinet
1162for a waiver of, and the Governor and Cabinet may waive, any of
1163the provisions of ss. 411.223, 411.232, and 1003.54, if the
