Each state agency strategic plan must identify infrastructure needs, capital improvement needs, and information resources management projects or initiatives that involve more than one agency, that have an outcome that impacts another agency, or that exceed $500,000 in total cost over a 1-year period, except for those projects that are a continuation of hardware or software maintenance or software licensing agreements, or that are for desktop replacement that is similar to the technology currently in use. Each agency strategic plan shall specify those objectives against which will be judged the agency's achievement of its goals and the goals of the state comprehensive plan. The state agency strategic plan shall be consistent with and shall further the goals of the state comprehensive plan.

(2)  A state agency strategic plan shall be developed with a 5-year outlook and shall provide the strategic framework within which an agency's legislative budget request is developed. An agency's budget shall be designed to further the agency's strategic plan.

(3)  All amendments, revisions, or updates to a state agency strategic plan shall be prepared in the same manner as the original and shall be prepared as needed because of changes in the state comprehensive plan or changes in the statutory authority and responsibility of the agency.

(4)  The Department of Environmental Protection, with regard to the plan required by s. 373.036, and the state land planning agency, with regard to the plan defined in s. 380.031(17), shall prepare revisions to such plans no later than 6 months after the adoption of revisions to the growth management portion of the state comprehensive plan or by June 1 of each even-numbered year, whichever is later.

(5)  Notwithstanding the provisions of this section and ss. 186.009 and 186.022, the short-range component of the Florida Transportation Plan and annual performance report developed pursuant to s. 339.155 shall serve as the state agency strategic plan and annual performance report for the Department of Transportation.
