     Delete line(s) 2254-2874

5

and insert:

6

     (a) Contract with the freight rail operator or its

7

successors, from whom the department has acquired a real property

8

interest in the rail corridor, to establish that each party is

9

solely responsible for any liability, cost, or expense it causes,

10

including, but not limited to, commuter rail passengers, rail

11

corridor invitees, or trespassers in the rail corridor.

12

     (b) Purchase liability insurance which amount shall not

13

exceed $200 million and establish a self-insurance retention fund

14

for the purpose of paying the deductible limit established in the

15

insurance policies it may obtain, including coverage for the

16

department, any freight rail operator as described in paragraph

17

(a), commuter rail service providers, governmental entities, or

18

ancillary development; however, the insureds shall pay a

19

reasonable monetary contribution to the cost of such liability

20

coverage for the sole benefit of the insured. Such insurance and

21

self-insurance retention fund may provide coverage for all

22

damages, including, but not limited to, compensatory, special,

23

and exemplary, and be maintained to provide an adequate fund to

24

cover claims and liabilities for loss, injury, or damage arising

25

out of or connected with the ownership, operation, maintenance,

26

and management of a rail corridor.

27

     (c) Incur expenses for the purchase of advertisements,

28

marketing, and promotional items.

29

30

Neither the assumption by contract to protect, defend, indemnify,

31

and hold harmless; the purchase of insurance; nor the

32

establishment of a self-insurance retention fund shall be deemed

33

to be a waiver of any defense of sovereign immunity for torts nor

34

deemed to increase the limits of the department's or the

35

governmental entity's liability for torts as provided in s.

36

768.28. The requirements of s. 287.022(1) shall not apply to the

37

purchase of any insurance hereunder. The provisions of this

38

210

similar inflation indicators. Once a toll rate index has been

211

implemented pursuant to this paragraph, the toll rate index shall

212

remain in place and may not be revoked. Toll rate index for

213

inflation under this subsection must be adopted and approved by

214

the expressway authority board at a public meeting and may be

215

made no more frequently than once a year and must be made no less

216

     Section 42.  Subsections (1), (5), and (9) of section

230

479.07, Florida Statutes, are amended to read:

231

     479.07  Sign permits.--

232

     (1)  Except as provided in ss. 479.105(1)(e) and 479.16, a

233

person may not erect, operate, use, or maintain, or cause to be

235

Highway System outside an urban incorporated area, as defined in

236

s. 334.03(32), or on any portion of the interstate or federal-aid

237

primary highway system without first obtaining a permit for the

238

sign from the department and paying the annual fee as provided in

239

this section. For purposes of this section, "on any portion of

240

the State Highway System, interstate, or federal-aid primary

241

242

which is visible from any portion of the main-traveled way of

243

such system.

244

     (5)(a)  For each permit issued, the department shall furnish

245

to the applicant a serially numbered permanent metal permit tag.

246

The permittee is responsible for maintaining a valid permit tag

247

on each permitted sign facing at all times. The tag shall be

248

securely attached to the sign facing or, if there is no facing,

249

on the pole nearest the highway; and it shall be attached in such

250

a manner as to be plainly visible from the main-traveled way.

251

Effective July 1, 2011, the tag shall be securely attached to the

252

upper 50 percent of the pole nearest the highway and shall be

253

attached in such a manner as to be plainly visible from the main-

254

traveled way. The permit will become void unless the permit tag

255

is properly and permanently displayed at the permitted site

256

within 30 days after the date of permit issuance. If the

257

permittee fails to erect a completed sign on the permitted site

258

within 270 days after the date on which the permit was issued,

259

the permit will be void, and the department may not issue a new

260

permit to that permittee for the same location for 270 days after

261

the date on which the permit became void.

262

     (b)  If a permit tag is lost, stolen, or destroyed, the

263

permittee to whom the tag was issued may must apply to the

264

department for a replacement tag. The department shall establish

265

271

establish by rule at the time it establishes the service fee for

272

replacement tags.

273

     (9)(a)  A permit shall not be granted for any sign for which

274

a permit had not been granted by the effective date of this act

275

unless such sign is located at least:

276

     1.  One thousand five hundred feet from any other permitted

277

sign on the same side of the highway, if on an interstate

278

highway.

279

     2.  One thousand feet from any other permitted sign on the

280

same side of the highway, if on a federal-aid primary highway.

281

282

The minimum spacing provided in this paragraph does not preclude

283

the permitting of V-type, back-to-back, side-to-side, stacked, or

284

double-faced signs at the permitted sign site. If a sign is

285

visible from the controlled area of more than one highway subject

286

to the jurisdiction of the department, the sign shall meet the

287

permitting requirements of, and, if the sign meets the applicable

288

permitting requirements, be permitted to, the highway with the

289

more stringent permitting requirements.

290

     (b)  A permit shall not be granted for a sign pursuant to

291

this chapter to locate such sign on any portion of the interstate

292

or federal-aid primary highway system, which sign:

293

     1.  Exceeds 50 feet in sign structure height above the crown

294

of the main-traveled way, if outside an incorporated area;

295

     2.  Exceeds 65 feet in sign structure height above the crown

296

of the main-traveled way, if inside an incorporated area; or

297

300

established a pilot program in Orange, Hillsborough, and Osceola

301

Counties, and within the boundaries of the City of Miami, under

302

which the distance between permitted signs on the same side of an

303

interstate highway may be reduced to 1,000 feet if all other

304

requirements of this chapter are met and if:

305

     1.  The local government has adopted a plan, program,

306

resolution, ordinance, or other policy encouraging the voluntary

307

removal of signs in a downtown, historic, redevelopment, infill,

308

or other designated area which also provides for a new or

309

replacement sign to be erected on an interstate highway within

310

that jurisdiction if a sign in the designated area is removed;

311

     2.  The sign owner and the local government mutually agree

312

to the terms of the removal and replacement; and

313

     3.  The local government notifies the department of its

314

intention to allow such removal and replacement as agreed upon

315

pursuant to subparagraph 2.

316

318

provisions of this pilot program based on the notifications

319

received by the department from local governments under this

320

paragraph.

325

under this chapter in any case in which it determines that the

326

application for the permit contains knowingly false or knowingly

327

misleading information. The department has the authority to

328

revoke any permit granted under this chapter in any case in which

329

or that the permittee has violated any of the provisions of this

330

chapter, unless such permittee, within 30 days after the receipt

331

of notice by the department, corrects such false or misleading

332

information and complies with the provisions of this chapter. For

333

the purpose of this section, the notice of violation issued by

334

the department shall describe in detail the alleged violation.

335

Any person aggrieved by any action of the department in denying

336

or revoking a permit under this chapter may, within 30 days after

337

receipt of the notice, apply to the department for an

338

administrative hearing pursuant to chapter 120. If a timely

339

request for hearing has been filed and the department issues a

340

final order revoking a permit, such revocation shall be effective

341

30 days after the date of rendition. Except for department action

342

pursuant to s. 479.107(1), the filing of a timely and proper

343

notice of appeal shall operate to stay the revocation until the

344

department's action is upheld.

345

     Section 44.  Section 479.156, Florida Statutes, is amended

346

to read:

347

     479.156  Wall murals.--Notwithstanding any other provision

348

of this chapter, a municipality or county may permit and regulate

349

wall murals within areas designated by such government. If a

350

municipality or county permits wall murals, a wall mural that

351

displays a commercial message and is within 660 feet of the

352

nearest edge of the right-of-way within an area adjacent to the

353

interstate highway system or the federal-aid primary highway

354

system shall be located in an area that is zoned for industrial

355

or commercial use and the municipality or county shall establish

356

and enforce regulations for such areas that, at a minimum, set

357

forth criteria governing the size, lighting, and spacing of wall

358

murals consistent with the intent of the Highway Beautification

359

Act of 1965 and with customary use. Whenever a municipality or

360

county exercises such control and makes a determination of

361

customary use, pursuant to 23 U.S.C. s. 131(d), such

362

determination shall be accepted in lieu of controls in the

363

agreement between the state and the United States Department of

364

Transportation, and the department shall certify effective local

365

control pursuant to 23 U.S.C. s. 131(d) and C.F.R. s. 750.706(c).

372

Department of Transportation under s. 479.02(1). The existence of

373

a wall mural as defined in s. 479.01(27) shall not be considered

374

in determining whether a sign as defined in s. 479.01(17), either

375

existing or new, is in compliance with s. 479.07(9)(a).

376

     Section 45.  Subsections (1), (3), (4), and (5) of section

381

information to motorists about available gas, food, lodging, and

382

camping, attractions, and other services, as approved by the

383

Federal Highway Administration, at interchanges, through the use

384

of business logos, and may include additional interchanges under

385

the program. A logo sign for nearby attractions may be added to

386

this program if allowed by federal rules.

387

     (a)  An attraction as used in this chapter is defined as an

388

establishment, site, facility, or landmark that which is open a

389

396

the highest bidders, notwithstanding the limitation on fees in

397

subsection (5), which are qualified for available space at each

398

qualified location, but the fees therefor may not be less than

399

the fees established for logo participants in other logo

400

categories.

401

     (b)  The department shall incorporate the use of RV-friendly

402

the provision of services related to the logo sign program,

424

including recruitment and qualification of businesses, review of

unless the business owner declines, that businesses that

431

previously entered into agreements with the department to

432

privately fund logo sign construction and installation be

433

reimbursed by the contractor for the cost of the signs which has

fees. The contract also may allow the contractor to retain a

436

portion of the annual fees as compensation for its services.

     (5)  Permit fees for businesses that participate in the

438

program must be established in an amount sufficient to offset the

439

total cost to the department for the program, including contract

440

costs. The department shall provide the services in the most

441

efficient and cost-effective manner through department staff or

442

by contracting for some or all of the services. The department

443

shall adopt rules that set reasonable rates based upon factors

444

such as population, traffic volume, market demand, and costs for

445

annual permit fees. However, annual permit fees for sign

446

locations inside an urban area, as defined in s. 334.03(32), may

447

not exceed $5,000 and annual permit fees for sign locations

448

outside an urban area, as defined in s. 334.03(32), may not

449

exceed $2,500. After recovering program costs, the proceeds from

450

the logo program shall be deposited into the State Transportation

451

452

permit fee shall not exceed $1,250.
