11 (8) SCHOOL CAPITAL OUTLAY MILLAGE EXCHANGE SURTAX.--
12 (a) The school board in any county may levy by

17 that is levying millage under s. 236.25(2) levies the
18 discretionary sales surtax under this subsection at the rate
19 of 1 percent, it must reduce the millage it levies under s.
20 236.25(2) by 2 mills. If a school board that is levying
21 millage under s. 236.25(2) levies the discretionary sales
22 surtax under this subsection at the rate of 0.5 percent, it

5 amended to read:
6 236.25 District school tax.--
7 (1) If the district school tax is not provided in the
8 General Appropriations Act or the substantive bill
9 implementing the General Appropriations Act, each school board
10 desiring to participate in the state allocation of funds for
11 current operation as prescribed by s. 236.081(9) shall levy on
12 the taxable value for school purposes of the district,
13 exclusive of millage voted under the provisions of s. 9(b) or
14 s. 12, Art. VII of the State Constitution, a millage rate not
15 to exceed the amount certified by the commissioner as the
16 minimum millage rate necessary to provide the district
17 required local effort for the current year, pursuant to s.
18 236.081(4)(a)1. In addition to the required local effort
19 millage levy, each school board may levy a nonvoted current
20 operating discretionary millage. The Legislature shall
21 prescribe annually in the appropriations act the maximum
22 amount of millage a district may levy. The millage rate
23 prescribed shall exceed zero mills but shall not exceed the

1 212.055(8), or in lieu of 1 mill of such levy a school board
2 may levy a 0.5-cent local option sales surtax in accordance

12 school plants or of leased facilities to correct deficiencies
13 pursuant to s. 235.056(2).

17 (5)(a) It is the intent of the Legislature that, by
18 July 1, 2003, revenue generated by the millage or local option

2 lease-purchase of equipment, educational plants, and school
3 buses may include the issuance of certificates of
4 participation on or after the effective date of this act and
5 the servicing of payments related to certificates so issued.
6 For purposes of this section, "maintenance and repair" is
7 defined in s. 235.011.
8 (b) For purposes not delineated in paragraph (a) for
9 which proceeds received from millage or a local option sales
10 surtax levied under subsection (2) may be legally expended, a
11 district school board may spend no more than the following
12 percentages of the amount the district spent for these
13 purposes in fiscal year 1995-1996:
14 1. In fiscal year 2000-2001, 40 percent.
15 2. In fiscal year 2001-2002, 25 percent.
16 3. In fiscal year 2002-2003, 10 percent.
17 (c) Beginning July 1, 2003, revenue generated by the
18 millage or local option sales surtax levy authorized by
19 subsection (2) must be used only for the purposes delineated
20 in paragraph (a).
21 (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this
22 subsection, if through its adopted facilities work program a
23 district has clearly identified the need for an ancillary
24 plant, has provided opportunity for public input as to the
25 relative value of the ancillary plant versus an educational
26 plant, and has obtained public approval, the district may use
27 revenue generated by the millage or local option sales surtax
28 levy authorized by subsection (2) for the construction,
29 renovation, remodeling, maintenance, or repair of an ancillary
30 plant.

Florida Senate - 2002 SB 1546
32-151-02
1 A district that violates these expenditure restrictions shall
2 have an equal dollar reduction in funds appropriated to the
3 district under s. 236.081 in the fiscal year following the
4 audit citation. The expenditure restrictions do not apply to
5 any school district that certifies to the Commissioner of
6 Education that all of the district's instructional space needs
7 for the next 5 years can be met from capital outlay sources
8 that the district reasonably expects to receive during the
9 next 5 years or from alternative scheduling or construction,
10 leasing, rezoning, or technological methodologies that exhibit
11 sound management.
12 (6) In addition to the maximum millage levied under
13 this section and the General Appropriations Act, a school
14 district may levy, by local referendum or in a general
15 election, additional millage for school operational purposes
16 up to an amount that, when combined with nonvoted millage
17 levied under this section, does not exceed the 10-mill limit
18 established in s. 9(b), Art. VII of the State Constitution.
19 Any such levy shall be for a maximum of 4 years and shall be
20 counted as part of the 10-mill limit established in s. 9(b),
21 Art. VII of the State Constitution. Millage elections
22 conducted under the authority granted pursuant to this section
23 are subject to ss. 236.31 and 236.32. Funds generated by such
24 additional millage do not become a part of the calculation of
25 the Florida Education Finance Program total potential funds in
26 2001-2002 or any subsequent year and must not be incorporated
27 in the calculation of any hold-harmless or other component of
28 the Florida Education Finance Program formula in any year. If
29 an increase in required local effort, when added to existing
30 millage levied under the 10-mill limit, would result in a
31 combined millage in excess of the 10-mill limit, any millage
10
CODING: Words stricken are deletions; words underlined are additions.
Florida Senate - 2002 SB 1546

1 levied pursuant to this subsection shall be considered to be

3 would otherwise exceed the 10-mill limit.
4 Section 6. Paragraph (a) of subsection (2) and
5 paragraph (a) of subsection (3) of section 235.056, Florida
6 Statutes, are amended to read:
7 235.056 Lease, rental, and lease-purchase of
8 educational facilities and sites.--
9 (2)(a) A board may rent or lease educational
10 facilities and sites as defined in s. 235.011. Educational
11 facilities and sites rented or leased for 1 year or less shall
12 be funded through the operations budget or funds derived from
13 millage or local option sales surtax proceeds pursuant to s.
14 236.25(2). A lease contract for 1 year or less, when extended
15 or renewed beyond a year, becomes a multiple-year lease.
16 Operational funds or funds derived from millage or local
17 option sales surtax proceeds pursuant to s. 236.25(2) may be
18 authorized to be expended for multiple-year leases. All
19 leased facilities and sites must be inspected prior to
20 occupancy by the board's Uniform Building Code inspector, who
21 shall report to the department.
22 1. Beginning July 1, 1995, all newly leased spaces
23 must be inspected and brought into compliance with the state
24 minimum building code pursuant to chapter 553, and the life
25 safety codes pursuant to chapter 633, prior to occupancy,
26 using the board's operations budget or funds derived from
27 millage or local option sales surtax proceeds pursuant to s.
28 236.25(2). As an alternative, the board may elect to comply
29 with the State Uniform Building Code for Public Educational
30 Facilities Construction instead of the state minimum building
31 code or the life safety code, or both.
11
CODING: Words stricken are deletions; words underlined are additions.
Florida Senate - 2002 SB 1546
32-151-02
1 2. Plans for renovation or remodeling of leased space
2 shall conform to state minimum building and life safety codes
3 for educational occupancies, or other occupancies as
4 appropriate, as required in chapters 553 and 633, prior to
5 occupancy. As an alternative, the board may elect to comply
6 with the State Uniform Building Code for Public Educational
7 Facilities Construction instead of the state minimum building
8 code or the life safety code, or both.
9 3. All leased facilities must be inspected annually
10 for firesafety deficiencies in accordance with the applicable
11 code and have corrections made in accordance with s. 235.06.
12 Operational funds or funds derived from millage or local
13 option sales surtax proceeds pursuant to s. 236.25(2) may be
14 used to correct deficiencies in leased space.
15 4. When the board declares that a public emergency
16 exists, it may take up to 30 days to bring the leased facility
17 into compliance with the requirements of Commissioner of
18 Education rules.
19 (3)(a) A board may rent or lease existing buildings,
20 or space within existing buildings, originally constructed or
21 used for purposes other than education, for conversion to use
22 as educational facilities. Such buildings rented or leased for
23 1 year or less shall be funded through the operations budget
24 or funds derived from millage or a local option sales surtax
25 pursuant to s. 236.25(2). A rental agreement or lease contract
26 for 1 year or less, when extended or renewed beyond a year,
27 becomes a multiple-year rental or lease. Operational funds or
28 funds derived from millage or local option sales surtax
29 proceeds pursuant to s. 236.25(2) may be authorized to be
30 expended for multiple-year rentals or leases. Notwithstanding
31 any other provisions of this section, if a building was
12
CODING: Words stricken are deletions; words underlined are additions.
Florida Senate - 2002 SB 1546
32-151-02
1 constructed in conformance with all applicable building and
2 life safety codes, it shall be deemed to meet the requirements
3 for use and occupancy as an educational facility subject only
4 to the provisions of this subsection.
5 Section 7. Paragraph (b) of subsection (1) and
6 paragraph (b) of subsection (5) of section 235.199, Florida
7 Statutes, are amended to read:
8 235.199 Cooperative funding of vocational educational
9 facilities.--
10 (1) Each district school board operating a designated
11 area technical center may submit, prior to August 1 of each
12 year, a request to the commissioner for funds from the Public
13 Education Capital Outlay and Debt Service Trust Fund to plan,
14 construct, and equip a career educational facility identified
15 as being critical to the economic development and the
16 workforce needs of the school district. Prior to submitting a
17 request, each school district shall:
18 (b) Except as provided in paragraph (5)(b), levy a
19 millage or surtax, or combination thereof, under s. 236.25(2)
20 which generates an amount that is at least equal to the amount
21 that would be generated by levy of the maximum millage rate
22 authorized by the maximum millage against the nonexempt
23 assessed property value as provided in s. 236.25(2).
24 (5)
25 (b) If In the event that a school district is not
26 imposing a levy at the rate required by levying the maximum
27 millage against the nonexempt assessed property value pursuant
28 to paragraph (1)(b), state and school district funding
29 pursuant to paragraph (a) shall be reduced by the same
30 proportion as the rate of the actual levy millage actually

3 Section 8. Paragraph (a) of subsection (2) and
4 paragraph (c) of subsection (3) of section 235.435, Florida
5 Statutes, are amended to read:
6 235.435 Funds for comprehensive educational plant
7 needs; construction cost maximums for school district capital
8 projects.--Allocations from the Public Education Capital
9 Outlay and Debt Service Trust Fund to the various boards for
10 capital outlay projects shall be determined as follows:
11 (2)(a) The department shall establish, as a part of
12 the Public Education Capital Outlay and Debt Service Trust
13 Fund, a separate account, in an amount determined by the
14 Legislature, to be known as the "Special Facility Construction
15 Account." The Special Facility Construction Account shall be
16 used to provide necessary construction funds to school
17 districts which have urgent construction needs but which lack
18 sufficient resources at present, and cannot reasonably
19 anticipate sufficient resources within the period of the next
20 3 years, for these purposes from currently authorized sources
21 of capital outlay revenue. A school district requesting
22 funding from the Special Facility Construction Account shall
23 submit one specific construction project, not to exceed one
24 complete educational plant, to the Special Facility
25 Construction Committee. No district shall receive funding for
26 more than one approved project in any 3-year period. The first
27 year of the 3-year period shall be the first year a district
28 receives an appropriation. The department shall encourage a
29 construction program that reduces the average size of schools
30 in the district. The request must meet the following criteria
31 to be considered by the committee:
14
CODING: Words stricken are deletions; words underlined are additions.
Florida Senate - 2002 SB 1546
32-151-02
1 1. The project must be deemed a critical need and must
2 be recommended for funding by the Special Facility
3 Construction Committee. Prior to developing plans for the
4 proposed facility, the district school board must request a
5 preapplication review by the Special Facility Construction
6 Committee or a project review subcommittee convened by the
7 committee to include two representatives of the department and
8 two staff from school districts other than the district
9 submitting the project. Within 60 days after receiving the
10 preapplication review request, the committee or subcommittee
11 must meet in the school district to review the project
12 proposal and existing facilities. To determine whether the
13 proposed project is a critical need, the committee or
14 subcommittee shall consider, at a minimum, the capacity of all
15 existing facilities within the district as determined by the
