49    Legislature. See s. 11.242(5)(b) and (i).
50

53    reenacted to read:
54          206.9825 Aviation fuel tax.--
55          (1)(a) Except as otherwise provided in this part, an
56    excise tax of 6.9 cents per gallon of aviation fuel is imposed
57    upon every gallon of aviation fuel sold in this state, or
58    brought into this state for use, upon which such tax has not
59    been paid or the payment thereof has not been lawfully assumed
60    by some person handling the same in this state. Fuel taxed
61    pursuant to this part shall not be subject to the taxes imposed
62    by ss. 206.41(1)(d), (e), and (f) and 206.87(1)(b), (c), and
63    (d).
64          (b) Any licensed wholesaler or terminal supplier that
65    delivers aviation fuel to an air carrier offering
66    transcontinental jet service and that, after January 1, 1996,
67    increases the air carrier's Florida workforce by more than 1000
68    percent and by 250 or more full-time equivalent employee
69    positions, may receive a credit or refund as the ultimate vendor
70    of the aviation fuel for the 6.9 cents excise tax previously
71    paid, provided that the air carrier has no facility for fueling
72    highway vehicles from the tank in which the aviation fuel is
73    stored. In calculating the new or additional Florida full-time
74    equivalent employee positions, any full-time equivalent employee
75    positions of parent or subsidiary corporations which existed
76    before January 1, 1996, shall not be counted toward reaching the
77    Florida employment increase thresholds. The refund allowed
78    under this paragraph is in furtherance of the goals and policies
79    of the State Comprehensive Plan set forth in s.
80    187.201(17)(a),(b)1., 2., (18)(a), (b)1., 4., (20)(a), (b)5.,
81    (22)(a), (b)1., 2., 4., 7., 9., and 12.
82          (c) If, before July 1, 2001, the number of full-time
83    equivalent employee positions created or added to the air
84    carrier's Florida workforce falls below 250, the exemption
85    granted pursuant to this section shall not apply during the
86    period in which the air carrier has fewer than the 250
87    additional employees.
88          (d) The exemption taken by credit or refund pursuant to
89    paragraph (b) shall apply only under the terms and conditions
90    set forth therein. If any part of that paragraph is judicially
91    declared to be unconstitutional or invalid, the validity of any
92    provisions taxing aviation fuel shall not be affected and all
93    fuel exempted pursuant to paragraph (b) shall be subject to tax
94    as if the exemption was never enacted. Every person benefiting
95    from such exemption shall be liable for and make payment of all
96    taxes for which a credit or refund was granted.
97         
98          Reviser's note.--Subsection (1) is reenacted to
99    confirm the continued existence of paragraphs (b)-(d)
100    of that subsection. Paragraph (1)(b) expired pursuant
101    to its own terms effective July 1, 2001; it was
102    included in s. 5, ch. 2002-2, Laws of Florida, a
103    reviser's bill, to confirm that expiration. Paragraphs
104    (1)(c) and (d), which were tied to paragraph (1)(b),
105    were also repealed by s. 5, ch. 2002-2, to conform to
106    the expiration of paragraph(1)(b). Section 10, ch.
107    2002-218, Laws of Florida, reenacted and amended
108    paragraph (1)(b), indicating a substantive intent to
109    continue the paragraph. In view of the substantive
110    reenactment and amendment, subsection (1) is
111    reenacted, including paragraphs (b)-(d), to conform to
112    the intent of s. 10, ch. 2002-218. Subsection (2),

115    July 1, 2000; that repeal was confirmed by s. 5, ch.
116    2002-2. However, the reenactment and amendment of
117    paragraph (1)(b) by s. 10, ch. 2002-218, raised an
118    issue as to legislative intent regarding subsection
119    (2), which relates to paragraph (1)(b). Legislative
120    confirmation of the intent to repeal subsection (2) is
121    needed in light of any possible effect or intent by s.
122    10, ch. 2002-218.
