 More GR, but Budget Mired in Unknowns |
Heading into the 2015 Session, Legislators had a little more than $1 billion in new general revenue to spend next year. On Tuesday, legislative budget experts sweetened the pot, projecting that an additional $145.4 million will be available. Unfortunately, that only represents a 0.5 percent bump when talking about a $70 billion budget. Such a small increase won't cause any major changes in how the Senate and House approach the only constitutional duty they must fulfill during session: to craft the annual state budget.
The House and Senate are approaching their budget building responsibilities very differently.
Although the federal government has told Governor Scott it will not provide $1.3 billion to pay for indigent care in Florida if the Legislature does not expand Medicaid, the House is anticipating that the Feds will cave and is including the money in its budget, as did Governor Scott.
Following release of updated GR numbers, Senate President Andy Gardiner released a Press Release saying Senate subcommittees will release their draft budgets next week but that, unlike the House, it is not including the federal dollars because he "...will not ask Senators to vote on a budget that includes promises of substantial funding we may not be able to keep."
The loss of over $1 billion dollars impacts every item in the budget, so programs and services will be slashed when Senate subcommittees release their drafts next week. It won't be pretty. The only remedy will be if the feds indeed cave or the House relents and accepts the evolving Senate Medicaid expansion plan.

| Senate Medicaid Expansion Plan Unveiled |
On Tuesday, the Senate Health Policy Committee unanimously passed SB 7044. Requiring creation of the Florida Health Insurance Affordability Exchange (FHIX) program by January 1, 2016, the bill is intended to bring $50 billion of federal money to Florida over the next 10 years to provide health care coverage for about 800,000 people. The bill would allow personal health savings accounts and, among others, would require recipients to:
- participate in private health plans offered under FHIX (Recipients would receive vouchers to purchase the plans.);
- be employed or looking for work;
- pay monthly premiums of $3 to $25; and
- co-pay for using emergency care services in non-emergency situations.
The bill offers a private sector alternative to traditional Medicaid expansion, but would require a federal waiver because it requires monthly premiums. Its requirement that recipients be employed or looking for work to get coverage also raises questions. Responses to past waiver requests from other states to the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services - the agency responsible for reviewing, granting, or disapproving waivers - indicate Florida will not receive a waiver if these requirements are maintained. Following the Committee vote, Health Policy Committee Chair Aaron Bean noted that the plan has a "snowball's chance" of passing the House, but added that it will provide "...a chance to open a dialogue and say what we have to do to go forward. I look forward to the conversation." House Speaker Steve Crisafulli stated that, "They're going to have conversations that we probably won't be having over here."

| Affordable Housing: Tale of 2 Bills | |
Two bills of immense importance to affordable housing advocates were heard in committee this week. One would help and one would hurt low income homeowners, buyers, and renters. The two bills are among several that would implement Amendment 1, which requires 33 percent (about $750 million) of documentary stamp revenue (total of $2.4 billion) be used for land and water conservation.
HB 1291 was passed by the House Agriculture & Natural Resources Appropriations Subcommittee on Wednesday. Among others, the bill provides that 33 percent of total documentary stamp revenues go to the Land Acquisition Trust Fund (LATF) and be used for Amendment 1 purposes. It also maintains current documentary stamp tax distributions to the State Economic Enhancement and Development Trust Fund, the State Transportation Trust Fund, and state and local housing trust funds. SB 584, passed by the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on General Government on Tuesday, substantially and permanently reduces funding for affordable housing. In FY 2015-16, it would reduce the amount in the housing trust funds from $266.87 million to approximately $154 million, a $112 million reduction. The result is that Florida seniors, veterans, homeless, and hard working families trying to become first time homebuyers will be hurt. This certainly was not the intent of Amendment 1 supporters.

| ALICE and Housing
| |
Home is supposed to be a place of refuge, a place we can go every day to relax and live. Unfortunately, for 55 percent of Florida renters, home is a monthly budget buster or a place they have to share with another family. When housing costs more than 30 percent of a family's budget, it impacts the family's ability to afford other basic necessities and their economic stability, and negatively impacts the larger economy. Florida renters are the country's most cost burdened, and its homeowners have the 48th highest cost burden in the nation. The United Way ALICE Report highlights housing issues in every county and city across Florida and how they impact families and the economy.

| VPK Pre- and Post-Assessments | |
Current law requires that VPK assessments "be valid, reliable, developmentally appropriate, and designed to measure student progress on early literacy, numeracy, and language."
In a positive move that advocates have pursued for years, the Senate Education Committee this week passed SB 518, requiring that the assessments be observation-based, developed using norm samples, appropriate for English language learners and students with disabilities, available in multiple languages, provide processes and supports for ensuring continued reliability and professional development.
The bill also:
- expands the formula for calculating the Voluntary Prekindergarten Education Program readiness rate to include students' performance results on the pre- and post-assessments (in addition to students' performance results on the statewide kindergarten screening);
- clarifies that pre- and post-assessments must be administered by prekindergarten instructors, rather than "individuals" as stated in current law. The term "prekindergarten instructor" is defined as a teacher or child care personnel who provides instruction to students in the VPK program;
- requires that pre- and post-assessments be administered to children enrolled in the VPK program during the first and last two weeks of the school-year or summer prekindergarten program. Current law does not provide a specific timeframe for administering the assessments; and
- requires that the Office of Early Learning (OEL) annually report the appropriate level of student learning growth based on data from the pre- and post-assessments for calculating the kindergarten readiness rate of each public school or private provider delivering the VPK program. Current law does not expressly require the OEL to report such data.

| No Safety Net: 500,000+ More Florida Children in Poverty | |
Last week, a new report - Measuring Access to Opportunity in the United States Report - was released. It notes that "poverty has a profoundly negative impact on children's educational achievement and puts them at a greater risk of experiencing chronic health conditions. Child poverty costs our society an estimated $500 billion a year in lost productivity and earnings, as well as health- and crime-related costs.
Published by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, the study concludes that federal safety net programs such as SNAP and the EITC lift 579,000 Florida children out of poverty and that without them Florida's poverty rate would skyrocket from 21 percent to 35 percent.

| House Early Learning Bill Passes Committee | |
The Senate's health and safety early learning bill (CS/SB 7006) has passed two committees and awaits hearing in the Appropriations Subcommittee on Health and Human Services. The House companion, CS/HB 7017, passed the Education Appropriations Subcommittee on Thursday and is headed to the Floor. The bills are substantially similar. Among others, the House bill:
- requires unlicensed private providers to substantially comply with specified health and safety standards and submit to inspections by the Department of Children and Families (DCF) or local licensing agency;
- requires providers to notify parents if the provider is cited for a Class I violation and prominently post citations that result in disciplinary action and inspection reports on the premises;
- makes providers sanctioned for Class I violations in the previous year ineligible to offer the School Readiness or VPK programs;
- provides specific grounds when Early Learning Coalitions (ELCs) may immediately terminate a School Readiness or VPK provider's contract, i.e., the provider has been sanctioned for a Class I violation or DCF, a local licensing agency, or a circuit court has ordered the provider to cease operations;
- enhances the qualifications of child care personnel working in School Readiness and VPK programs by:
- phasing in requirements that these personnel must be at least 18 years of age (with exceptions); hold a high school diploma or equivalent credential (with exceptions); and be trained in first aid, CPR, and age-appropriate practices.
- requiring School Readiness personnel to complete training on the school readiness performance standards.
- requiring the Office of Early Learning (OEL) to develop online training on the School Readiness program performance standards and provider personnel to complete the training;
- adds failure to report child abuse as a disqualifying offense for child care employment;
- requires employment history checks;
- prohibits licensed child care providers who have been disciplined for serious licensing violations from transferring ownership to relatives in order to avoid sanctions;
- requires ELCs, OEL, and DCF to cooperate in reducing paperwork and duplicative regulations;
- expands DCF's authority to conduct abbreviated inspections;
- extends to large family child care homes certain protections regarding zoning, property insurance and utility rates currently available to family day care homes;
- renames the Child Care Executive Partnership as the Child Care Partnership, revises the membership of the partnership's board to include legislative appointments, revises the purpose of the partnership to emphasize soliciting donations from private businesses, shifts responsibility for allocating partnership funds from the board to OEL, and sunsets the partnership in 2018;
- requires providers cited for a Class I violation to notify parents about the violation by the close of the next business day;
- authorizes ELCs to allow public schools and private providers to determine child eligibility for the VPK program. The PCB only authorized ELCs to determine eligibility;
- grants rulemaking authority to OEL regarding VPK pre- and post-assessment and child performance standards;
- authorizes counties with local licensing agencies to require nonpublic schools which are not licensed to comply with the minimum child care health and safety standards;
- requires licensed or registered family child care homes to conspicuously display their licenses or registrations in the common areas of the homes;
- requires pre- and post-assessment data be used in calculating a private prekindergarten provider's or public school's kindergarten readiness rate;
- requires a coalition to immediately terminate the contract if the provider is sanctioned for a Class I violation or issued an emergency suspension order by the Department of Children and Families or local licensing agency or an injunction by the circuit court; and
- provides that a provider may not continue to offer its services during pendency of an appeal of a termination that is not the result of an emergency suspension order, injunction, or sanction for a Class I violation.
The bill has a fiscal impact on DCF due to increased regulatory workload and provides an appropriation of $1,117,084 and 18 new positions to address the impact. Nonpublic schools and license-exempt faith-based providers of state-funded early learning programs may experience increased costs associated with increased health and safety regulation.

| Child Sexual Abuse: $1B Cost | |
The Miami Herald reported this week on a new study compiled by Lauren's Kids, finding that child sexual abuse costs Florida about $1 billion a year. Among others, the report found that:
- one in three girls and one in five boys will become a victim of child abuse in Florida before age 18; and
- on average, each victim of child sexual abuse loses $250,000 in earnings throughout his or her lifetime because of the abuse.

| Pediatric Dental Program |
In 2011, Florida established the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care (SMMC) program. The SMMC program requires the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) to create an integrated managed care program for Medicaid enrollees to provide all the mandatory and optional Medicaid benefits for primary and acute care, including pediatric dental services, in a Managed Medical Assistance (MMA) program.
HB 601 removes pediatric dental services from the SMMC program and creates a new statewide prepaid dental program.
The bill directs AHCA to contract with at least two prepaid dental health plans (PDHP) on a statewide basis. A Medicaid prepaid dental health plan (PDHP) is a risk-bearing entity paid a prospective per-member, per-month payment by AHCA to provide dental services.

| Adoption and Foster Care |
CS/HB 7013 makes three additions to statutes to improve the adoption of children from foster care:
The bill creates a program to advance the permanency, stability, and well-being of children in the child welfare system by awarding incentive payments to community-based care lead agencies (CBCs) for achieving specified adoption performance standards. CBCs provide adoption-related services in the state pursuant to contracts with the Department of Children and Families (DCF).
The bill also re-creates a program to provide an additional adoption benefit of either $5,000 or $10,000, depending on whether the adopted child has special needs described in statute, for qualifying employees of state agencies who adopt a child from the child welfare system. The program was originally created in 2000 and provided employee adoption benefits until it was repealed in 2010.

- creating a process for DCF to identify through updated case plans and multidisciplinary reports the need for guardians and guardian advocates for children with developmental disabilities or incapacity in advance of the child's 18th birthday;
- authorizing probate court to initiate proceedings for the minor;
- granting the same due process rights in guardian proceedings to children who are developmentally disabled as that conferred to developmentally disabled adults; and
- allowing the child's parents to be considered natural guardians unless the dependency or probate court determines it is not in the child's best interest or the parents' rights have been terminated.

| Use of Tobacco Products in Motor Vehicles |
Seven states and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico have prohibited smoking in privately owned vehicles while children are present. The ages range from under 8 (Vermont) to under 18 (California and Oregon).
SB 548 prohibits smoking in a motor vehicle in which a child under 13 years of age is present. This prohibition applies to all adults in the vehicle, not just the driver.
A violation would result in a non-moving traffic citation. The total amount of the fine, court costs, and other fees for a non-moving violation varies by jurisdiction. For example, in Leon County, a non-moving violation is a $116 citation; in the City of Tallahassee, a non-moving violation is $123 citation; and in Miami-Dade County a non-moving violation is a $129 citation.
