10 (6) Distribution of all proceeds under this chapter and s.

12 (d) The proceeds of all other taxes and fees imposed
13 pursuant to this chapter or remitted pursuant to s. 202.18(1)(b)
14 and (2)(b) shall be distributed as follows:
15 1. In any fiscal year, the greater of $500 million, minus
16 an amount equal to 4.6 percent of the proceeds of the taxes
17 collected pursuant to chapter 201, or 5.2 percent of all other
18 taxes and fees imposed pursuant to this chapter or remitted
19 pursuant to s. 202.18(1)(b) and (2)(b) shall be deposited in
20 monthly installments into the General Revenue Fund.
21 2. After the distribution under subparagraph 1., 8.814
22 percent of the amount remitted by a sales tax dealer located
23 within a participating county pursuant to s. 218.61 shall be
24 transferred into the Local Government Half-cent Sales Tax
25 Clearing Trust Fund. Beginning July 1, 2003, the amount to be
26 transferred shall be reduced by 0.1 percent, and the department
27 shall distribute this amount to the Public Employees Relations
28 Commission Trust Fund less $5,000 each month, which shall be
29 added to the amount calculated in subparagraph 3. and
30 distributed accordingly.
31 3. After the distribution under subparagraphs 1. and 2.,
32 0.095 percent shall be transferred to the Local Government Half
33 cent Sales Tax Clearing Trust Fund and distributed pursuant to
34 s. 218.65.
35 4. After the distributions under subparagraphs 1., 2., and
36 3., 2.0440 percent of the available proceeds shall be
37 transferred monthly to the Revenue Sharing Trust Fund for
38 Counties pursuant to s. 218.215.
39 5. After the distributions under subparagraphs 1., 2., and
40 3., 1.3409 percent of the available proceeds shall be
41 transferred monthly to the Revenue Sharing Trust Fund for
42 Municipalities pursuant to s. 218.215. If the total revenue to
43 be distributed pursuant to this subparagraph is at least as
44 great as the amount due from the Revenue Sharing Trust Fund for
45 Municipalities and the former Municipal Financial Assistance
46 Trust Fund in state fiscal year 1999-2000, no municipality shall
47 receive less than the amount due from the Revenue Sharing Trust
48 Fund for Municipalities and the former Municipal Financial
49 Assistance Trust Fund in state fiscal year 1999-2000. If the
50 total proceeds to be distributed are less than the amount
51 received in combination from the Revenue Sharing Trust Fund for
52 Municipalities and the former Municipal Financial Assistance
53 Trust Fund in state fiscal year 1999-2000, each municipality
54 shall receive an amount proportionate to the amount it was due
55 in state fiscal year 1999-2000.
56 6. Of the remaining proceeds:
57 a. In each fiscal year, the sum of $29,915,500 shall be
58 divided into as many equal parts as there are counties in the
59 state, and one part shall be distributed to each county. The
60 distribution among the several counties must begin each fiscal
61 year on or before January 5th and continue monthly for a total
62 of 4 months. If a local or special law required that any moneys
63 accruing to a county in fiscal year 1999-2000 under the then
64 existing provisions of s. 550.135 be paid directly to the
65 district school board, special district, or a municipal
66 government, such payment must continue until the local or
67 special law is amended or repealed. The state covenants with
68 holders of bonds or other instruments of indebtedness issued by
69 local governments, special districts, or district school boards
70 before July 1, 2000, that it is not the intent of this
71 subparagraph to adversely affect the rights of those holders or
72 relieve local governments, special districts, or district school
73 boards of the duty to meet their obligations as a result of
74 previous pledges or assignments or trusts entered into which
75 obligated funds received from the distribution to county
76 governments under then-existing s. 550.135. This distribution
77 specifically is in lieu of funds distributed under s. 550.135
78 before July 1, 2000.

80 pursuant to s. 288.1162 to each applicant certified as a
