Discussions on request for appropriations for Tequesta Park that aligns with Master Parks Plan recently
adopted in June, 2022.
4RY:
The Speaker of the House, Chris Sprowls, announced a Local Support Grants Program. During the
2022 Legislative Session, the Florida House included a new initiative in the Fiscal Year 2022-2023
General Appropriations Act for a Local Support Grants Program. This program will enable members of
the Legislature to request nonrecurring funding for local governments, education entities, or privately
operated programs to support local initiatives. The funding is capped at $175 million, and the grants
must be approved by the Legislative Budget Commission.
Local Support Grants must follow a similar process to the Appropriations Project Request process to
maintain transparency. Accordingly, projects requested for funding through this initiative should meet
the definition of an Appropriations Project as provided in House Rules.
To request funding, Legislative members must file a Local Support Grant Request (LSGR) form
electronically by July 15, 2022. The Legislative Member LSGR system are open for input today, June
13, 2022.
Each LSGR form will be reviewed by staff of the Appropriations Committee and then returned to you
for final approval. After you submit a funding request, you will receive emailed instructions about how
to approve and publish the final form. You must publish the form by August 10, 2022.
