Justification
Governor's Recommendations 2023-24

The Governor's Budget Recommendation for Fiscal Year 2023-24 includes $1,959,100 ($1,704,300 nonrecurring) in General
Revenue funding in the Expenses, Information Technology, and Operating Capital Outlay appropriation categories to support
technical equipment needs for the Florida State Guard (FSG). This issue would support the FSG by providing personal
protective equipment, uniforms, communication services equipment, laptops, printers, projectors, and other equipment for
use by FSG staff and 1,500 volunteers.

This issue was modified from the Department of Military Affairs' Legislative Budget Request.

Justification
Governor's Recommendations 2023-24

These estimated expenditures are operating appropriations authorized by the Legislature in the prior year General
Appropriations Act, adjusted for items vetoed by the Governor, appropriations based on contingencies that did not occur,
and appropriations provided in substantive bills that were passed in the 2022 Legislative Session.  Substantive bills are
bills other than the General Appropriations Act.

Justification
Governor's Recommendations 2023-24

Appropriations intended for only one year are automatically inversed (added or reduced) from the budget because these
amounts were carried forward from the prior fiscal year.  This does not reflect a budget increase or reduction.  It is
merely carrying out the intent of the Legislature from the prior fiscal year.
