Justification
Governor's Recommendations 2023-24

The Governor's Budget Recommendation for Fiscal Year 2023-24 includes a fund shift of $83,324 within the Information
Technology budget entity from General Revenue to the Administrative Trust Fund to align a vacant position with the
correct funding source.

In Fiscal Year 2015-16, the Department was appropriated 2 Systems Programming Consultant positions and related budget in
General Revenue funding to implement the Florida Business Information Portal to assist the public in starting a business.
The portal has since been completed and the project is now in a stage of maintenance. Currently, 1 of the 2 portal
positions is vacant. The Division has determined that only 1 FTE is needed for the maintenance of the portal and with
this funding would reassign the vacant position to its Enterprise Application Development Team for support of the
upcoming replacement of the Versa:Online portal which is supported by the Administrative Trust Fund.

See corresponding issue 3400200.

This issue was requested in the department's Legislative Budget Request.
