AI Summary

  • Establishes the State Employee Bonus Initiative, an online program administered by the Legislative Budget Commission at www.myfloridabonus.gov for state employees to submit cost-reduction suggestions.

  • Awards participating employees 1.5 percent of estimated budget reductions if their suggestion is adopted and results in actual savings of at least $50,000.

  • Awards under $1 million are paid immediately upon Legislative Budget Commission certification; awards exceeding $1 million require legislative approval.

  • Protects employees from harassment, termination, or adverse employment action for submitting suggestions, except when the suggestion results in elimination of the employee's own position.

  • Requires the Legislative Budget Commission to create and distribute annually bilingual posters (English and Spanish) to all state agencies explaining the program by December 31.
