The Committee on Appropriations (Richter) recommended the
following:
1 Senate Amendment (with title amendment)
2
3 Between lines 4507 and 4508
4 insert:
5 Section 80. The Florida Transportation Commission shall
6 conduct a study of the potential for the state to obtain revenue
7 from any parking meters or other parking time-limit devices that
8 regulate designated parking spaces located within or along the
9 right-of-way limits of a state road. The commission may retain
10 such experts as are reasonably necessary to complete the study,
11 and the department shall pay the expenses of such experts. On or
12 before August 31, 2013, each municipality and county that
13 receives revenue from any parking meters or other parking time
14 limit devices that regulate designated parking spaces located
15 within or along the right-of-way limits of a state road shall
16 provide the commission a written inventory of the location of
17 each such meter or device and the total revenue collected from
18 such locations during the last 3 fiscal years. Each municipality
19 and county shall at the same time inform the commission of any
20 pledge or commitment by the municipality or county of such
21 revenues to the payment of debt service on any bonds or other
22 debt issued by the municipality or county. The commission shall
23 consider the information provided by the municipalities and
24 counties, together with such other matters as it deems
25 appropriate, including, but not limited to, the use of variable
26 rate parking, and shall develop policy recommendations regarding
27 the manner and extent that revenues generated by regulating
28 parking within the right-of-way limits of a state road may be
29 allocated between the department and municipalities and
30 counties. The commission shall develop specific recommendations
31 concerning the allocation of revenues generated by meters or
32 devices regulating such parking that were installed before July
33 1, 2013, and the allocation of revenues that may be generated by
34 meters or devices installed thereafter. The commission shall
35 complete the study and provide a written report of its findings
36 and conclusions to the Governor, the President of the Senate,
37 the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and the chairs of
38 each of the appropriations committees of the Legislature by
39 October 31, 2013.
40 (2) The Legislature finds that preservation of the status
41 quo pending the commission’s study and the Legislature’s review
42 of the commission’s report is appropriate and desirable. From
43 July 1, 2013, through July 1, 2014, no county or municipality
44 shall install any parking meters or other parking time-limit
45 devices that regulate designated parking spaces located within
46 or along the right-of-way limits of a state road. This
47 subsection does not prohibit the replacement of meters or
48 similar devices installed before July 1, 2013, with new devices
49 that regulate the same designated parking spaces.
