...First, the class contended that section 11.066, Florida Statutes (2000), 1 which prohibits the execution of judgments against the State and its agencies, should be interpreted in light of a property owner’s right to receive full and just compensation for a taking, and that another statute, section 74.091, Florida Statutes (2000), 2 serves as an exception to the prohibition in takings *607 cases....
...The court observed that no court had ruled on the similar applicability of chapter 74, the proceedings supplemental to eminent domain statute. After considering the State’s constitutional guaranty of full and fair compensation for takings, and that such compensation is compulsory, the trial court held that the section 74.091 exception applied, so that the class could seek execution of their judgment against the Department without going through the section 11.066 appropriations process....
...It “conclud[ed] that [s]ee-tions 11.066(3) and (4), Florida Statutes, govern on the issue regarding execution on the Final Judgment in this case,” and declined to follow the ruling of the Palm Beach circuit court. Instead, the court held that section 11.066 “[took] precedence over [s]ection 74.091, even in these circumstances.” The class’s remedy, the court wrote, was that provided by section 11.066 — the appropriations process....
...If the class went through that process and could not secure an appropriation, “this Court may permit execution to issue.” Finally, the court held that section 11.066(3) was constitutional as applied. I The heart of the Palm Beach order was the application of section 74.091 to allow the issuance of a writ of execution....

Section 74.091 is found in chapter 74, which involves “proceedings supplemental to eminent domain.” Section' 74.011, Florida Statutes (2000), which defines the “scope” of the chapter, provides: In any eminent domain action, properly institute...
