Medicine degree program offered at a state university. The report must be submitted to the
Governor, Speaker and President by February 1, 2010.
2. Importance: There is not currently a funding methodology used to determine funding levels
for each of the state medical schools. With the opening of two new programs in FY 2009-10 at

Governors - Student Health best practices for student health policies at universities. The analysis will address mandatory
Insurance Study health insurance, third party billing for university provided services, and fees charged for health
services provided by the health centers.
2. Importance: Currently, state universities charge a health fee used to offer basic medical
services at the health center to all students, insured or uninsured. Mandatory health insurance
and the offering of billing services has the potential to positively impact students' lives, student
retention and generate a revenue source for the student health centers resulting the ability to
decrease costs to students.
3. Agency Supports? Yes, the Board of Governors and the state universities have been
working on this issue for several years.
4. Performance: Florida State University currently has a mandatory health insurance policy

Establishment of a the Florida Engineering Management Corporation) to develop legislative recommendations
Stormwater Management relating to stormwater management system design in the state. The proviso language directs
Task Force the 7 members: appointments by the Secretaries of DOT, DEP, and DBPR; representatives
appointed by the Board of Landscape Architecture, the Board of Professional Engineers, the
Florida Engineering Society, and the Florida Chapter of the American Society of Landscape
Architects. The task force will provide its findings and legislative recommendations to the
President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House by November 1, 2009. This initiative
was originally contained in HB 1145 (Precourt) and SB 2606 (Pruitt), which was ultimately not
approved.
2. Importance: According to the Florida Board of Professional Engineers, this effort is the
result of the Florida Engineering Society, which is concerned about the overlap of practice
between engineers and landscape architects, especially as it relates to stormwater drainage
plans.
3. Agency Supports? DBPR believes that the language is vague and not the initiative of either
of their boards.
4. Performance: N/A
5. Other: N/A
GGU DBP 2256 A Lump Sum - Hospitality {Statewide} Abruzzo, Dennis L. - 706,698 706,698 - 1. Description: DBPR currently operates the Hospitality Education Program (HEP), which trains
Education Program - School Jones industry staff on state/federal laws and rules. The department can require those cited for
To Career violations to take the industry training. The department also contracts with the Florida
Restaurant and Lodging Association (FRLA) for a school-to-career program to prepare
students for careers in the hospitality industry. The school-to-career program is currently
capped at $250K. The HEP is supported by a $10 annual fee paid by lodging and food service
establishments.
HB 717 (Abruzzo)/SB 1418 (Jones) shifted the focus of the HEP to only the school-to-career
program administered by the FRLA. This language was later rolled into the department's bill,
HB 425 (Plakon).
The GAA placed the HEP funds and positions into a Lump Sum category, from which 25% can
be released in order to carry out the program through 10/1/09 (the effective date of HB 425).
The remaining funds will be transferred to another category to be used for the redesigned HEP.
2. Importance? Even with the elimination of the industry training portion of the HEP, the
department indicates that it can still require licensees with violations to receive training from
private providers.
3. Agency Supports? Neutral.
GGU DFS 2463 A Special Categories - Leon Reagan - 975,000 975,000 - 1. Description: The Florida Catastrophic Storm Risk Management Center at FSU was created

Catastrophic Storm Risk catastrophic storm loss and to assist in identifying and developing education and research
Management Center At grant funding opportunities among higher education institutions in this state and the private
Florida State University sector. Funding for the Center was reduced from $3m in the current year to $975K for FY 2009-
10.
2. Importance: This Center does not support core mission functions of the department.
3. Agency Support? The agency supports elimination of this Center.
4. Performance: This Center is duplicative of the well-established FIU hurricane research
center. The Center does not report to any state agency.
5. Other: It was originally understood that the Center only needed $750K in nonrecurring seed
money and would then be funded via grants and other sources. DFS is simply a pass-through
to the center. Funding for the Center was eliminated in the Governor's Recommended Budget.
FY 2007-08 GAA: $1M appropriated and vetoed by the Governor
Special Session C: $750,000 nonrecurring appropriated
FY 2008-09 GAA: $3M recurring appropriated

GGU DFS 2486 Special Categories - Florida {Statewide} Hays - 623,512 623,512 - 1. Description: Proviso directs that the funds used to support the Florida Public Hurricane Loss
Public Hurricane Loss Model ($624K) shall be placed into reserve if conforming legislation (SB 1758) becomes law.
Model - Office Of Insurance SB 1758 directs that the Florida Commission on Hurricane Loss Projection Methodology adopt
Regulation revisions to the model "every odd year", instead of "at least annually", which is currently
required. The model is used by the Office of Insurance Regulation (OIR) to process and
analyze insurance rate filing data. The variables input into the model are used by OIR to
generate annual average loss cost estimates and provide OIR a check against other private
models. This helps OIR determine what the actuarially sound rate should be for any given
insurance company’s rate filing.
2. Importance: OIR has indicated that placing these funds in reserve on odd years when model
is not being updated will preclude them from maintaining, supporting and using the model
during that year. FIU indicates that the minimum funding needed to operate the model is
$410K annually.
3. Agency Supports? OIR does not support the proviso.
4. Performance: If OIR cannot use or maintain the model, their ability to determine actuarially
sound rates may be diminished.
5. Other: House staff did not realize that there were costs not associated with adopting
revisions to the model, and believe that some compromise can be developed, especially

Small Business Regulatory Advisory Council created in Ch. 2008-149, LOF. Funds will also be
used to mitigate reduced resources provided by host participants in the Network for which
they've taken a 30% cut in revenues. In addition, the Network's receipt of federal assistance
has increased by 26% over the past 18 months - state funding is needed to help leverage the
1:1 state match requirement. According to the Small Business Admin., small businesses have

GGU LOT 2706 1 Changes to Advertising {Statewide} Hays - 30,263,508 30,263,508 - 1. Description: The Paid Advertising and Promotion category is traditionally used to pay for
Appropriation Category advertising agency fees/commissions, media purchases, and the department's compulsive
gambling contract. However, for FY 2009-10, $3.5m was placed into a new category for
advertising agency fees/commissions and $1.1m was placed into a new category for

fees/commissions. The $30.3m remaining in the original Paid Advertising and Promotion
category will now only support media purchases.
2. Importance: Unknown
3. Agency Supports?: The department does not oppose this change, but is concerned that the
actual commission amount needed may exceed the $3.5m placed in the new category for
commissions/fees. Will depend on the new contract negotiated for advertising services.

Preservation Grants program is a small matching grant program geared at programs or projects that specifically
relate to historic preservation. While the Florida Holocaust Museum has received several
cultural and museum grants from the department in the past, this earmark would not qualify for
the historical preservation gramts because these grant funds are traditionally used to assist in
the identification and rehabilitation of historic and archeological sites in Florida; the acquisition,
preservation, protection and restoration of historical and archaeological sites; and support
heritage education.
2. Importance: The Florida Holocaust Museum is a nonprofit organization that creates
