Furthermore, the fund may also insure the State Regional Office Building located in the City of Jacksonville, Duval County, including the parking facility owned by the City of Jacksonville, since such building is jointly owned by the State of Florida and the City of Jacksonville. The City of Jacksonville shall be responsible for the payment of all premiums charged by the fund to insure property owned by the City of Jacksonville. Flood insurance shall be provided for state-owned structures and contents designated in subsection (2) to the extent necessary to meet self-insurance requirements of the National Flood Insurance Program, as prescribed in rules and regulations of the Federal Emergency Management Agency in 44 C.F.R. parts 59, 60, and ¹74, effective October 1, 1986.

(2) The fund shall insure all buildings, whether financed in whole or in part by revenue bonds or certificates, and the contents thereof or of any other buildings leased or rented by the state. For the purpose of this section, all manufactured homes and contents, whether permanently affixed to realty or otherwise, are included. Rental value insurance shall also be provided to indemnify the state or any of its agencies for loss of income when such rental income insurance is required to be carried by the terms of any bonding or revenue certificates or resolutions. Rental value insurance shall also be provided to indemnify the state or any of its agencies for loss of income from those buildings operated and maintained by the Department of Management Services from the Supervision Trust Fund.

(3) No coverage shall be provided by the fund for museum collections, artifacts, relics, fine arts, or boilers and machinery or for any properties related in any way with nuclear reactors or the use, storage, or processing of nuclear fissionable materials. This exclusion as to nuclear properties or related reactors shall not be construed to eliminate the necessity of coverage on medical facilities, particle accelerators, cyclotrons, Van de Graff machines, or any properties associated therewith.

(4) The department may determine deductibles to be established and what coverages or risks are insurable in accordance with this section. Subjects of insurance with a valuation of less than $500 will not be covered by the fund. Coverage shall be provided upon application by agencies to the fund on forms furnished by it.

(5) Premiums charged to agencies for coverage shall be adopted on a retrospective rating arrangement based upon actual losses accruing to the fund and loss prevention results, taking into account reasonable expectations, maintenance, and stability of the fund and cost of reinsurance.

(6) In the event of any partial loss by a covered peril, the loss shall be adjusted on the basis of actual cash value of the property at the time of loss but not exceeding the amount that it would cost to repair or replace the property with material of like kind and quality within a reasonable time after such loss.

(b) Beginning January 1, 2013, the Division of Risk Management shall include in its annual report an analysis of agency return-to-work efforts, including, but not limited to, agency return-to-work program performance metrics and a status report on participating return-to-work programs. The report shall specify benchmarks, including, but not limited to, the average lost-time claims per year, per agency; the total number of lost claims; and specific agency measurable outcomes indicating the change in performance from year to year.

284.44 Salary indemnification costs of state agencies.—

(1) It is the intent of the Legislature, through the implementation of this section, to provide state agencies with an increased incentive to become actively involved in the prevention and management of workers’ compensation claims involving state employees.

(2) State agencies covered by the state risk management program established under this part shall be responsible for funding initial salary indemnification costs, for employees who are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits pursuant to chapter 440, from funds appropriated to pay salaries and benefits.

(3) For the purposes of this section, “salary indemnification costs” means the payments made to employees for temporary total disability benefits. After an employee has been eligible for disability benefits for 10 weeks, salary indemnification costs shall be funded from the State Risk Management Trust Fund in accordance with the provisions of this part for those agencies insured by the fund.

(4) For the purpose of administering this section, the Division of Risk Management of the Department of Financial Services shall continue to pay all claims, but shall be periodically reimbursed from funds of state agencies for initial salary indemnification costs for which they are responsible.

(5) If a state agency demonstrates to the Executive Office of the Governor and the chairs of the legislative appropriations committees that no funds are available to pay initial salary indemnification costs for a specific claim pursuant to this section without adversely impacting its ability to perform statutory responsibilities, the Executive Office of the Governor may direct the Division of Risk Management to fund all salary indemnification costs for that specific claim from the State Risk Management Trust Fund and waive the state agency reimbursement requirement.

(6) The Division of Risk Management shall prepare quarterly reports to the Executive Office of the Governor and the chairs of the legislative appropriations committees indicating for each state agency the total amount of salary indemnification benefits paid to claimants and the total amount of reimbursements from state agencies to the State Risk Management Trust Fund for initial costs for the previous quarter. These reports shall also include information for each state agency indicating the number of cases and amounts of initial salary indemnification costs for which reimbursement requirements were waived by the Executive Office of the Governor pursuant to this section.

(7) If a state agency fails to pay casualty increase premiums or salary indemnification reimbursements within 30 days after being billed, the Division of Risk Management shall advise the Chief Financial Officer. After verifying the accuracy of the billing, the Chief Financial Officer shall transfer the appropriate amount from any available funds of the delinquent state agency to the State Risk Management Trust Fund.

284.45 Sexual harassment victims.—

(1) An individual working for an entity covered by the State Risk Management Trust Fund may not engage in retaliatory conduct of any kind against a sexual harassment victim. As used in this section, the term “sexual harassment victim” means an individual employed, or being considered for employment, with an entity participating in the State Risk Management Trust Fund who becomes a victim of workplace sexual harassment through the course of employment, or while being considered for employment, with the entity.

(2) The willful and knowing dissemination of personal identifying information of a sexual harassment victim, which is confidential and exempt pursuant to s. 119.071(2)(n), to any party other than a governmental entity in furtherance of its official duties or pursuant to a court order is a misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082.

PART III

SAFETY PROGRAMS

284.50 Loss prevention program; safety coordinators; Interagency Advisory Council on Loss Prevention; employee recognition program; return-to-work programs; risk management programs.

284.50 Loss prevention program; safety coordinators; Interagency Advisory Council on Loss Prevention; employee recognition program; return-to-work programs; risk management programs.—

(1) The head of each department of state government, except the Legislature, shall designate a safety coordinator. Such safety coordinator must be an employee of the department and must hold a position which has responsibilities comparable to those of an employee in the Senior Management System. The Department of Financial Services shall provide appropriate training to the safety coordinators to permit them to effectively perform their duties within their respective departments. Within 1 year after being appointed by his or her department head, the safety coordinator shall complete safety coordinator training offered by the Department of Financial Services. Each safety coordinator shall, at the direction of his or her department head:

(a) Develop and implement the loss prevention program, a comprehensive departmental safety program which shall include a statement of safety policy and responsibility.

(b) Provide for regular and periodic facility and equipment inspections.

(d) Establish a program to promote increased safety awareness among employees.

(2) There shall be an Interagency Advisory Council on Loss Prevention composed of the safety coordinators from each department and representatives designated by the Division of State Fire Marshal and the Division of Risk Management. The chair of the council is the Director of the Division of Risk Management or his or her designee. The council shall meet at least quarterly to discuss safety problems within state government, to attempt to find solutions for these problems, and, when possible, to assist in the implementation of the solutions. If the safety coordinator of a department or office is unable to attend a council meeting, an alternate, selected by the department head or his or her designee, shall attend the meeting to represent and provide input for that department or office on the council. The council is further authorized to provide for the recognition of employees, agents, and volunteers who make exceptional contributions to the reduction and control of employment-related accidents. The necessary expenses for the administration of this program of recognition shall be considered an authorized administrative expense payable from the State Risk Management Trust Fund.

(3) The Department of Financial Services and all agencies that are provided workers’ compensation insurance coverage by the State Risk Management Trust Fund and employ more than 3,000 full-time employees shall establish and maintain return-to-work programs for employees who are receiving workers’ compensation benefits. The programs must have the primary goal of enabling injured workers to remain at work or return to work to perform job duties within the physical or mental functional limitations and restrictions established by the workers’ treating physicians. If no limitation or restriction is established in writing by a worker’s treating physician, the worker is deemed to be able to fully perform the same work duties he or she performed before the injury. Agencies employing more than 3,000 full-time employees shall report return-to-work information to the Department of Financial Services to support the Department of Financial Services’ mandatory reporting requirements on agency return-to-work efforts under s. 284.42(1)(b).

(4) The Division of Risk Management shall evaluate each agency’s risk management programs, including, but not limited to, return-to-work, safety, and loss prevention programs, at least once every 5 years. Reports, including, but not limited to, any recommended corrective action, resulting from such evaluations must be provided to the head of the agency being evaluated, the Chief Financial Officer, and the director of the Division of Risk Management. The agency head must provide to the Division of Risk Management a response to all report recommendations within 45 days and a plan to implement any corrective action to be taken as part of the response. If the agency disagrees with any final report recommendations, including, but not limited to, any recommended corrective action, or if the agency fails to implement any recommended corrective action within a reasonable time, the division shall submit the evaluation report to the legislative appropriations committees. Each agency shall provide risk management program information to the Division of Risk Management to support the Division of Risk Management’s mandatory evaluation and reporting requirements in this subsection.

(5) Each agency shall:

(a) Review information provided by the Division of Risk Management on claims and losses;

(b) Identify any discrepancies between the Division of Risk Management’s records and the agency’s records and report such discrepancies to the Division of Risk Management in writing; and

(c) Review and respond to communications from the Division of Risk Management identifying unsafe or inappropriate conditions, policies, procedures, trends, equipment, or actions or incidents that have led or may lead to accidents or claims involving the state.
