14.31 Florida Faith-based and Community-based Advisory Council.
(1) LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS.The Legislature finds that:
(a) Compassionate groups of individuals have selflessly aided this state in serving our most vulnerable residents and our most debilitated neighborhoods.
(b) Inspired by faith and civic commitment, these organizations have accomplished much in changing the lives of thousands and resurrecting neighborhoods torn by the strife of crime and poverty.
(c) It is essential that this state cooperate with these organizations in order to provide an opportunity to participate on an equal basis, regardless of each organization’s orientation, whether faith-based or secular.
(2) LEGISLATIVE INTENT.It is therefore the intent of the Legislature to recognize the contributions of these organizations and to encourage opportunities for faith-based and community-based organizations to work cooperatively with government entities in order to deliver services more effectively. The Legislature further intends that the purpose of the council is to advise the Governor and the Legislature on policies, priorities, and objectives for the state’s comprehensive effort to enlist, equip, enable, empower, and expand the work of faith-based, volunteer, and other community organizations to the full extent permitted by law.
(3) ESTABLISHMENT OF THE COUNCIL.

(5) SCOPE OF ACTIVITIES.The council shall review and recommend in a report to the Governor, the President of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives:
(a) How faith-based and community-based organizations can best compete with other organizations for the delivery of state services, regardless of an organization’s orientation, whether faith-based or secular.
(b) How best to develop and coordinate activities of faith-based and community-based programs and initiatives, enhance such efforts in communities, and seek such resources, legislation, and regulatory relief as may be necessary to accomplish these objectives.
(c) How best to ensure that state policy decisions take into account the capacity of faith-based and other community-based initiatives to assist in the achievement of state priorities.
(d) How best to identify and promote best practices across state government relating to the delivery of services by faith-based and other community-based organizations.
(e) How best to coordinate public awareness of faith-based and community nonprofit initiatives, such as demonstration pilot programs or projects, public-private partnerships, volunteerism, and special projects.
(f) How best to encourage private charitable giving to support faith-based and community-based initiatives.
(g) How best to bring concerns, ideas, and policy options to the Governor and Legislature for assisting, strengthening, and replicating successful faith-based and other community-based programs.
(h) How best to develop and implement strategic initiatives to strengthen the institutions of families and communities in this state.
(i) How best to showcase and herald innovative grassroots nonprofit organizations and civic initiatives.
(j) How best to eliminate unnecessary legislative, regulatory, and other bureaucratic barriers that impede effective faith-based and other community-based efforts to address social problems.
(k) How best to monitor implementation of state policy affecting faith-based and other community-based organizations.
(l) How best to ensure that the efforts of faith-based and other community-based organizations meet objective criteria for performance and accountability.
(6) RESTRICTED ACTIVITIES.The council may not make any recommendation that conflicts with the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution or the public funding provision of s. 3, Art. I of the State Constitution.
(7) REPORT.By February 1 of each year, the council shall prepare a written report for the Governor, the President of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives containing an accounting of its activities and recommended policies, priorities, and objectives for the state’s comprehensive effort to enlist, equip, enable, empower, and expand the work of faith-based, volunteer, and other community-based organizations to the full extent permitted by law.
