 1  residents of this state; or

 4  trustee.

 5         (b)  When trustees consist of both residents and

 6  nonresidents and management or control is with a nonresident

 7  trustee, the trust does not have Florida situs and no return

 8  is necessary by any resident trustee.

 9         (c)  A portion of the trust has Florida situs when

10  there are two trustees, one a resident of this state and one a

11  nonresident, and they share equally in the ownership,

30  having beneficial interests, in which case the residents need

31  not return such property or pay such tax.

 1         (9)  Where an agent other than a trustee has control or

 2  management of intangible personal property, the principal is

 3  primarily responsible for returning such property and paying

 4  the annual tax on it, but the agent shall return such property

 5  on behalf of the principal and pay the annual tax on it if the

 6  principal fails to do so.  The department may in any case

 7  require the agent to file an informational return.

 8         (15)  If a bank or savings association, as defined in

 9  s. 220.62, acts as a fiduciary or agent of a trust other than

17  annual tax on any person or any assets of the trust. If a

18  person acts as a fiduciary or agent for purposes of managing

19  intangible assets owned by another person, such intangible

20  assets shall not have a taxable situs in this state pursuant

21  to s. 199.175 solely by virtue of the management or control of

22  such assets by the person who is not the owner of the assets.

23         (2)  This section is effective for tax years beginning

24  after December 31, 2000.

 4  specifically exempt. This provision shall apply regardless of

 5  where the evidence of the intangible property is kept; where

 6  the intangible is created, approved, or paid; or where

 7  business may be conducted from which the intangible arises.

 8  The fact that a Florida corporation owns the stock of an

 9  out-of-state corporation and manages and controls such

10  corporation from a location in this state shall not operate to

11  give a taxable situs in this state to the intangibles owned by

12  the out-of-state corporation, which intangibles arise out of

13  business transacted outside this state.

14         (a)  For the purposes of this chapter, "any person

15  domiciled in this state" means:

17  state;

18         2.  Any bank or financial institution, business,

19  business trust as described in chapter 609, company,

20  corporation, insurance company, partnership, or other

21  artificial entity organized or created under the law of this

22  state, except a trust; or

23         3.  Any person, including a business trust, who has

24  established a commercial domicile in this state.

11  taxes.--

12         (1)  The following intangible personal property shall

16  or acquired in the ordinary course of a trade or business

17  which are owned, controlled, or managed by a taxpayer on

20  portion of such accounts receivable exempt from taxation be

21  increased to all such accounts receivable on January 1, 2001,

23  receivable that arise outside the taxpayer's ordinary course

24  of trade or business. For the purposes of this chapter, the

28  held by the agent or fiduciary and is a natural person, the

29  principal or beneficiary may claim the exemption.  No taxpayer

30  shall be entitled to more than one exemption under this

31  subsection paragraph (a) and one exemption under paragraph

 1  its population.

 2         (3)(2)  The distribution to a unit of local government

 3  under this part is determined by the following formula:

 4         (a)  First, the entitlement of an eligible unit of

 5  local government shall be computed on the basis of the

 6  apportionment factor provided in s. 218.245, which shall be

 7  applied for all eligible units of local government to all

 8  receipts available for distribution in the respective revenue

 9  sharing trust fund.

10         (b)  Second, revenue shared with eligible units of

11  local government for any fiscal year shall be adjusted so that

12  no eligible unit of local government receives less funds than

13  its guaranteed entitlement.

14         (c)  Third, revenues shared with counties for any

15  fiscal year shall be adjusted so that no county receives less

16  funds than its guaranteed entitlement plus the second

17  guaranteed entitlement for counties.

18         (d)  Fourth, revenue shared with units of local

19  government for any fiscal year shall be adjusted so that no

20  unit of local government receives less funds than its minimum

21  entitlement.

22         (e)  Fifth, after the adjustments provided in

23  paragraphs (b), (c), and (d), and after deducting the amount

24  committed to all the units of local government, the funds

25  remaining in the respective trust funds shall be distributed

26  to those eligible units of local government which qualify to

27  receive additional moneys beyond the guaranteed entitlement,

28  on the basis of the additional money of each qualified unit of

29  local government in proportion to the total additional money

30  of all qualified units of local government.

                                  13

    Amendment No.    





 1  (1)(c), no unit of local government which was eligible to

 2  participate in revenue sharing in the 3 years prior to

 3  initially participating in the local government half-cent

 4  sales tax shall be ineligible to participate in revenue

 5  sharing solely due to a millage or utility tax reduction

 6  afforded by the local government half-cent sales tax.

 7         Section 11.  Subsection (3) is added to section 218.25,

 8  Florida Statutes, to read:

 9         218.25  Limitation of shared funds; holders of bonds

10  protected; limitation on use of second guaranteed entitlement

11  for counties.--

12         (3)  As an additional assurance to holders of bonds

13  issued before April 18, 2000, which are secured by the

14  guaranteed entitlement or second guaranteed entitlement for

15  counties, or bonds issued to refund such bonds which mature no

16  later than the bonds that they refunded and which result in a

17  reduction of debt service payable in each fiscal year, it is

18  the intent of the Legislature that, to the extent the

19  elimination of tax sources dedicated to funding the guaranteed

20  entitlement or the second guaranteed entitlement for counties

21  or a reduction in the rate of assessment of such taxes results

22  in an inability of a county to pay debt service on such bonds,

23  the Legislature will provide alternative funding sources in an

24  amount sufficient to pay any deficit in the amount required

25  for such debt service. This commitment of the Legislature is

26  contingent on the county first using any funds available under

27  this part for the payment of such debt service.

28         Section 12.  Subsection (6) of section 288.1169,

29  Florida Statutes, is amended to read:

 1         (6)  The Department of Commerce must recertify every 10

 2  years that the facility is open, that the International Game

 3  Fish Association World Center continues to be the only

 4  international administrative headquarters, fishing museum, and

 5  Hall of Fame in the United States recognized by the

 6  International Game Fish Association, and that the project is

 7  meeting the minimum projections for attendance or sales tax

 8  revenues as required at the time of original certification.

 9  If the facility is not recertified during this 10-year review

10  as meeting the minimum projections, then funding will be

11  abated until certification criteria are met.  If the project

12  fails to generate $1 million of annual revenues pursuant to

13  paragraph (2)(e), the distribution of revenues pursuant to s.

14  212.20(6)(f)6.5.c. shall be reduced to an amount equal to

15  $83,333 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is

16  the actual revenues generated and the denominator of which is

17  $1 million.  Such reduction shall remain in effect until

18  revenues generated by the project in a 12-month period equal

19  or exceed $1 million.

20         Section 13.  Section 218.251, Florida Statutes, is

21  repealed.
