That’s a drop from their original number of $5 million. The House State Administration Budget Subcommittee provided no money for that purpose in its first offer Tuesday.

That would save more than $9.26 million, according to the House budget.

A trend is emerging in Florida’s proposed budgets, as the House and Senate continue to negotiate: For many funding pots allocated to the executive branch, agencies will be required to report back on how they’re using the money effectively. Add that to the list of ways lawmakers have looked to push back against the Governor’s Office this year, from rejecting a proposed immigration plan during a Special Session to House lawmakers vetoing moves by Gov.
