AI Summary
This bill makes several changes to Florida law, primarily affecting the Department of Management Services (DMS). It revises the timeline for implementing formulary management for prescription drugs under the state employees' program, shifting the start date to the 2027 plan year and removing a requirement for certain drugs to be available for inclusion. The bill also introduces an administrative health insurance assessment against state agencies for each vacant position, starting July 1, 2026, with specific rules for positions funded by federal money. Additionally, it removes a requirement for DMS to develop a program to ensure positions for women and minorities in the Selected Exempt Service and clarifies that the Governor, Cabinet officers, and Legislature are permanent tenants of the Capitol Complex, with specific rules for space modifications and vacant space usage. The bill also redefines "Capitol Complex" and "Memorial Park," assigns management of the Mayo Building to DMS after the Department of Agriculture vacates, and requires consultation with tenants for projects impacting Capitol Center spaces, especially legislative areas. It mandates DMS to solicit feedback from permanent tenants for long-range Capitol Center planning and establishes rules for assigning or reducing parking spaces for the Legislature. A significant portion of the bill involves restructuring and renaming the Office of Supplier Diversity to the Office of Supplier Development, and it removes provisions related to minority business enterprises (MBEs) and their certification, replacing them with a focus on Florida-based small business enterprises. Several sections related to MBE certification, statewide agreements, and loan programs are repealed or amended to reflect this shift. Finally, the bill adjusts the expiration date for certain law enforcement communication system funds and makes conforming changes to various statutes.
