    1         Senate Amendment (with title amendment)
    2  
    3         Between lines 676 and 677
    4  insert:
    5         Section 6. Effective July 1, 2013, paragraph (d) of
    6  subsection (6) of section 212.20, Florida Statutes, is amended
    7  to read:
    8         212.20 Funds collected, disposition; additional powers of
    9  department; operational expense; refund of taxes adjudicated
   10  unconstitutionally collected.—
   11         (6) Distribution of all proceeds under this chapter and s.
   12  202.18(1)(b) and (2)(b) shall be as follows:
   13         (d) The proceeds of all other taxes and fees imposed
   14  pursuant to this chapter or remitted pursuant to s. 202.18(1)(b)
   15  and (2)(b) shall be distributed as follows:
   16         1. In any fiscal year, the greater of $500 million, minus
   17  an amount equal to 4.6 percent of the proceeds of the taxes
   18  collected pursuant to chapter 201, or 5.2 percent of all other
   19  taxes and fees imposed pursuant to this chapter or remitted
   20  pursuant to s. 202.18(1)(b) and (2)(b) shall be deposited in
   21  monthly installments into the General Revenue Fund.
   22         2. After the distribution under subparagraph 1., 8.814
   23  percent of the amount remitted by a sales tax dealer located
   24  within a participating county pursuant to s. 218.61 shall be
   25  transferred into the Local Government Half-cent Sales Tax
   26  Clearing Trust Fund. Beginning July 1, 2003, the amount to be
   27  transferred shall be reduced by 0.1 percent, and the department
   28  shall distribute this amount to the Public Employees Relations
   29  Commission Trust Fund less $5,000 each month, which shall be
   30  added to the amount calculated in subparagraph 3. and
   31  distributed accordingly.
   32         3. After the distribution under subparagraphs 1. and 2.,
   33  0.095 percent shall be transferred to the Local Government Half
   34  cent Sales Tax Clearing Trust Fund and distributed pursuant to
   35  s. 218.65.
   36         4. After the distributions under subparagraphs 1., 2., and
   37  3., 2.0440 percent of the available proceeds shall be
   38  transferred monthly to the Revenue Sharing Trust Fund for
   39  Counties pursuant to s. 218.215.
   40         5. After the distributions under subparagraphs 1., 2., and
   41  3., 1.3409 percent of the available proceeds shall be
   42  transferred monthly to the Revenue Sharing Trust Fund for
   43  Municipalities pursuant to s. 218.215. If the total revenue to
   44  be distributed pursuant to this subparagraph is at least as
   45  great as the amount due from the Revenue Sharing Trust Fund for
   46  Municipalities and the former Municipal Financial Assistance
   47  Trust Fund in state fiscal year 1999-2000, no municipality shall
   48  receive less than the amount due from the Revenue Sharing Trust
   49  Fund for Municipalities and the former Municipal Financial
   50  Assistance Trust Fund in state fiscal year 1999-2000. If the
   51  total proceeds to be distributed are less than the amount
   52  received in combination from the Revenue Sharing Trust Fund for
   53  Municipalities and the former Municipal Financial Assistance
   54  Trust Fund in state fiscal year 1999-2000, each municipality
   55  shall receive an amount proportionate to the amount it was due
   56  in state fiscal year 1999-2000.
   57         6. Of the remaining proceeds:
   58         a. In each fiscal year, the sum of $29,915,500 shall be
   59  divided into as many equal parts as there are counties in the
   60  state, and one part shall be distributed to each county. The
   61  distribution among the several counties must begin each fiscal
   62  year on or before January 5th and continue monthly for a total
   63  of 4 months. If a local or special law required that any moneys
   64  accruing to a county in fiscal year 1999-2000 under the then
   65  existing provisions of s. 550.135 be paid directly to the
   66  district school board, special district, or a municipal
   67  government, such payment must continue until the local or
   68  special law is amended or repealed. The state covenants with
   69  holders of bonds or other instruments of indebtedness issued by
   70  local governments, special districts, or district school boards
   71  before July 1, 2000, that it is not the intent of this
   72  subparagraph to adversely affect the rights of those holders or
   73  relieve local governments, special districts, or district school
   74  boards of the duty to meet their obligations as a result of
   75  previous pledges or assignments or trusts entered into which
   76  obligated funds received from the distribution to county
   77  governments under then-existing s. 550.135. This distribution
   78  specifically is in lieu of funds distributed under s. 550.135
   79  before July 1, 2000.
   80         b. The department shall distribute $166,667 monthly
   81  pursuant to s. 288.1162 to each applicant certified as a
   82  facility for a new or retained professional sports franchise
   83  pursuant to s. 288.1162. Up to $41,667 shall be distributed
   84  monthly by the department to each certified applicant as defined
   85  in s. 288.11621 for a facility for a spring training franchise.
   86  However, not more than $416,670 may be distributed monthly in
   87  the aggregate to all certified applicants for facilities for
   88  spring training franchises. Distributions begin 60 days after
   89  such certification and continue for not more than 30 years,
   90  except as otherwise provided in s. 288.11621. A certified
   91  applicant identified in this sub-subparagraph may not receive
   92  more in distributions than expended by the applicant for the
   93  public purposes provided for in s. 288.1162(5) or s.
   94  288.11621(3).
   95         c. Beginning 30 days after notice by the Department of
   96  Economic Opportunity to the Department of Revenue that an
   97  applicant has been certified as the professional golf hall of
   98  fame pursuant to s. 288.1168 and is open to the public, $166,667
   99  shall be distributed monthly, for up to 300 months, to the
  100  applicant.
  101         d. Beginning 30 days after notice by the Department of
  102  Economic Opportunity to the Department of Revenue that the
  103  applicant has been certified as the International Game Fish
  104  Association World Center facility pursuant to s. 288.1169, and
  105  the facility is open to the public, $83,333 shall be distributed
  106  monthly, for up to 168 months, to the applicant. This
  107  distribution is subject to reduction pursuant to s. 288.1169. A
  108  lump sum payment of $999,996 shall be made, after certification
  109  and before July 1, 2000.
  110         e.Beginning 30 days after notice by the Department of
  111  Economic Opportunity to the Department of Revenue that the
  112  Department of Economic Opportunity has approved a plan developed
  113  by the Florida Institute of Technology for establishing a space
  114  exploration research institute, the department shall distribute
  115  $416,666 monthly to the Florida Institute of Technology for the
  116  purpose of operating a space exploration research institute.
  117  This amount represents sales and use taxes generated by visitor
  118  activity at the Kennedy Space Center and the Cape Canaveral Air
  119  Force Station. The Florida Institute of Technology shall develop
  120  a plan for the space exploration research institute in
  121  conjunction with Space Florida.
  122         7. All other proceeds must remain in the General Revenue
  123  Fund.
