The 2017 legislative session opened with a great deal of attention and focus on differing priorities for the leaders of each chamber. While the legislature works on numerous bills and funding issues for all aspects of public investments, leadership priorities largely shape the tone and work of session. House leadership called for ethics reform and increased transparency in the budget process, K-12 reform, and reduced taxes and spending, while the Senate leadership priorities focused on higher education, juvenile justice and environmental protection, particularly on the cleanup of areas surrounding Lake Okeechobee. The Governor's priorities included tourism and economic development.
This year, the formal budget process did not begin until the second to last week of session, and on May 3, 2 days before the scheduled end of the 60 day session, President Joe Negron and Speaker Richard Corcoran announced that session would be extended until May 8 to take up the budget and related bills. On Friday, May 5, the last day of the regular session, the conforming bills that propose changes to law related to the budget were unveiled.
After many hours of questions and debate on the budget and conforming bills, the 2017 Legislature concluded its work at 8:52 PM on May 8.
The Governor has not yet been presented with the budget or the budget conforming bills. Once he receives the budget and associated bills, he will have the option of a full veto, line-item veto, veto of specific conforming bills, or signing the package in its entirety into law. Given that the medical marijuana legislation needed to implement the recent constitutional amendment on this issue was not agreed to, there is also speculation that there will be at least one special session this summer to complete necessary work. Depending on the outcome of the Governor's action on the budget and conforming bills, there could be a special session for budget related items.
Despite the unusual budget process, many bills of interest to children, youth and families moved through the process this session. Among these, were several child welfare and juvenile justice bills. In addition, legislation on early childhood health passed related to newborn screenings and creating a pediatric cardiac care advisory panel; and in early learning - creating the Committee for Early Grade Success, which was included in the larger education conforming bill.
The following summary includes bills relating to children, youth and families that were taken up by one or both chambers the last week of session. While some bills did not ultimately pass, several victories for children occurred, and some of these bills are headed to the Governor for signature, or have already been signed into law.

Comprehensive Education Bill Package
|
In the afternoon of Friday, May 5, the final day of the regular legislative session, House and Senate leadership amended and agreed upon HB 7069 as the education conforming bill. The bill that originally focused on changes to The Best and Brightest Teachers and Principals was amended into a 278-page bill and was presented as the Education Budget Conforming Bill. In the bill introductions and summary provided by Chair Manny Diaz (R-Miami) and Chair David Simmons (R-Longwood), there was acknowledgement that the bill included 22 major provisions, as well as many other education issues addressed in various other bills during legislative session by both chambers. Overall, the bill proposes changes in law tied to $413,950,000 in recurring spending and $5 million in non-recurring spending.
Major funding provisions included are for the:
-
"best and brightest" teacher and principal bonuses;
-
"schools of hope," under which both charter and traditional public schools would be eligible for additional funding;
-
expansion of the Gardiner scholarship, a program that allows parents of students with disabilities to receive state funding for private school tuition or specialized services tailored to children's needs; and
- changes to student assessments, including a return to paper-and-pencil delivery and a requirement that tests are periodically published online
The bill also includes new provisions in law related to PreK-12. Some of the substantive areas include:
-
the amount of Title 1 funding districts may withhold from schools for district-wide programming;
-
the calculation of several components of the state's public school funding formula, the Florida Education Finance Program;
-
the ability for charter schools to access capital outlay funds to share in local property tax revenues for facilities construction and maintenance;
-
charter schools and the definition and replication of high-performing charter schools, facilities, calculation of administrative fees, application and appeals processes, and other provisions;
-
teacher preparation, tenure, evaluation and certification processes;
-
failing school turnaround;
-
mandating recess for K-5;
-
administrative flexibility related to reading instruction requirements for the state's top schools, dubbed "schools of excellence"
-
adding civic literacy to "priorities of Florida's K-20 education system" and requiring community college and state university graduates to demonstrate competency in civics; and
-
creation of the Committee for Early Grade Success to make recommendations to the legislature on a coordinated child assessment system.
The bill was heavily debated on the House and Senate floors before final passage. While many bill provisions were acknowledged as good policy changes by both Chambers, there were concerns raised primarily by some members of the Senate, that a few of
the
substantive
issues in the final bill were provisions from bills voted down during the legislative session. The House passed the bill on a vote of 73:36 and the Senate on a vote of 20:18 on May 8. The bill has not yet been presented to the Governor, and it is unclear if he will veto it or sign it into law.

HB 111
by the Criminal Justice Subcommittee and Representatives Cynthia Stafford (D-Opa Locka) and Kionne McGhee (D-Cutler Bay) which was substituted for
SB 550
by Sen. Randolph Bracy (D-Ocoee) was approved by the Governor as Chapter No. 2017-011 on May 9. Per Rep. Stafford "the bill is aimed at motivating people to come forward and provide information to police about murders. She said similar records exemptions already are provided for sexual-assault victims and child-abuse victims, and that this bill is about bringing "perpetrators to justice." (NSF, March 30,
2017). The legislation provides an exemption for identifying information about witnesses for two years after murders are witnessed. Stafford said many murder cases are unresolved because witnesses do not come forward because of fear of retaliation. "Witness intimidation is real, and so is retaliation," Stafford said.

2017-2018 CHILDREN'S BUDGET COMPARISON (BY LINE ITEM)
|
With the exception of Medicaid services which experienced massive cuts, the budget that passed included flat funding or small increases in funding for many programs and services for children and the juvenile justice system. It is hoped that anticipated federal Low Income Pool funding will offset some of the Medicaid cuts.
