FL Stat § 216.015 (2021)
2021 Florida Statutes|Title XIV - Taxation and Finance|Chapter 216 - Planning and Budgeting|216.015 - Capital Facilities Planning and Budgeting Process.

216.015 Capital facilities planning and budgeting process.—(1) Sections 216.015-216.016 may be cited as the “Capital Facilities Planning and Budgeting Act.”(2) The Legislature finds that there is a need to establish a comprehensive capital facilities planning and budgeting process that is fully integrated with the state financial planning and debt management activities and that incorporates the long-range plans of all state agencies and the judicial branch and major public benefit corporations to ensure that projects with the greatest potential for improving the prosperity and well-being of the people of the state receive their proper allocation of limited resources. It is, therefore, the intent of the Legislature in enacting this legislation that a comprehensive capital facilities planning and budgeting process be established and maintained to enable the state to better meet the demands for new and properly maintained infrastructure in a fiscally responsible manner.(3) The comprehensive capital facilities planning and budgeting process requires integration and coordination by all government agencies and by the judicial branch. The process includes:(a) An inventory of current facilities owned, leased, rented, or otherwise occupied by any agency of the state or the judicial branch;(b) An assessment of current population, economic, social, physical, and environmental trends and conditions that relate to public facilities;(c) A determination of future demographic conditions deemed most appropriate and likely for this state and of a set of goals and objectives;(d) A determination of unmet needs by comparing existing facilities to goals and objectives;(e) A strategic matching of funding options and facility needs to ensure the most effective development strategy; and(f) A management structure that maintains, operates, repairs, renovates, and replaces capital facilities to obtain the maximum value for each public dollar spent.(4) In order to carry out this act, the Executive Office of the Governor is designated as the agency responsible for the coordination, development, direction, monitoring, and evaluation of the comprehensive capital facilities planning and budgeting process, including the plans revised pursuant to that process. The Executive Office of the Governor shall publish an annual report of the progress being made by the state toward meeting the state goals and objectives of the plans.(5) All agencies of government and the judicial branch are directed to extend maximum cooperation and assistance in the furtherance of this program.History.—ss. 1, 2, 3, ch. 84-321; s. 32, ch. 92-142; s. 3, ch. 2000-371; s. 2, ch. 2001-61.

2021 Florida Statutes|Title XIV - Taxation and Finance|Chapter 216 - Planning and Budgeting|216.0236 - Agency Fees for Regulatory Services or Oversight; Criteria.

216.0236 Agency fees for regulatory services or oversight; criteria.—(1) It is the intent of the Legislature that all costs of providing a regulatory service or regulating a profession or business be borne solely by those who receive the service or who are subject to regulation. It is also the intent of the Legislature that the fees charged for providing a regulatory service or regulating a profession or business be reasonable and take into account the differences between the types of professions or businesses being regulated. Moreover, it is the intent of the Legislature that state agencies operate as efficiently as possible and regularly report to the Legislature additional methods by which to streamline their operational costs.(2) In accordance with the instructions for legislative budget requests, each state agency shall examine the fees it charges for providing regulatory services and oversight to businesses or professions. The annual examination shall determine whether operational efficiencies can be achieved in the underlying program, whether the regulatory activity is an appropriate function that the agency should continue at its current level, and whether the fees charged for each regulatory program are:(a) Based on revenue projections that are prepared using generally accepted governmental accounting procedures or official estimates by the Revenue Estimating Conference, if applicable;(b) Adequate to cover both the direct and indirect costs of providing the regulatory service or oversight; and(c) Reasonable and take into account differences between the types of professions or businesses that are regulated.(3) If the agency determines that the fees charged for regulatory services or oversight to businesses or professions are not adequate to cover program costs and that an appropriation from other state funds is necessary to supplement the direct or indirect costs of providing a regulatory service or regulating a program, the agency shall present to the Governor and the Legislature as part of its legislative budget request information regarding alternatives for realigning revenues or costs to make the regulatory service or program totally self-sufficient or shall demonstrate that the service or program provides substantial benefits to the public which justify a partial subsidy from other state funds. The Legislature shall review the alternatives during the next regular session.(4) The Legislature shall review the regulatory fee structure for all businesses and professions at least once every 5 years. The schedule for such review may be included in the legislative budget instructions developed pursuant to the requirements of s. 216.023.History.—s. 1, ch. 2006-93.
