   19  Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Florida:
   20  
   21         Section 1. Subsection (7) is added to section 163.3180,
   22  Florida Statutes, to read:
   23         163.3180 Concurrency.—
   24         (7)(a) Notwithstanding any provision of law, ordinance, or
   25  resolution to the contrary, a local government may not apply
   26  transportation or school concurrency within its jurisdiction and
   27  may not require a proportionate-share contribution or
   28  construction for new development before July 1, 2016, unless
   29  authorized by the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the local
   30  government’s governing authority.
   31         (b) Paragraph (a) does not apply to proportionate-share
   32  contribution or construction assessed on existing developments
   33  before July 1, 2013.
   34         (c) In order to maintain the exemption from transportation
   35  or school concurrency and proportionate-share contribution or
   36  construction pursuant to paragraph (a), a new development must
   37  receive a certificate of occupancy by July 1, 2017. If the
   38  certificate of occupancy is not received by July 1, 2017, the
   39  local government may apply transportation or school concurrency
   40  and require the appropriate proportionate-share contribution or
   41  construction for the development that would have been applied
   42  but for this subsection. The new development must consist of
   43  10,000 square feet or less for anything classified as other than
   44  nonresidential; 50 dwelling units or less for anything
   45  classified as multifamily residential; or 30 dwelling units or
   46  less for anything classified as single-family residential. Any
   47  outstanding obligation related to the proportionate-share
   48  contribution or construction runs with the land and is
   49  enforceable against any person claiming a fee interest in the
   50  land subject to that obligation.
   51         (d) This subsection does not apply if it requires any
   52  modification to a local government’s financing that would
   53  invalidate existing contracts, including debt obligations or
   54  covenants and agreements relating to bonds validated or issued
   55  by the local government.
   56         (e) Upon written notification to the local government, a
   57  developer may elect to have the local government apply
   58  transportation or school concurrency and proportionate-share
   59  contribution or construction to a development.
   60         (f) This subsection expires July 1, 2017.
   61         Section 2. Subsection (6) is added to section 163.31801,
   62  Florida Statutes, to read:
   63         163.31801 Impact fees; short title; intent; definitions;
   64  ordinances levying impact fees.—
   65         (6)(a) Notwithstanding any provision of law, ordinance, or
   66  resolution to the contrary, a county, municipality, or special
   67  district may not impose any new or existing impact fee or any
   68  new or existing fee associated with the mitigation of
   69  transportation impacts on new development until July 1, 2016,
   70  unless authorized by the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the
   71  governing authority of the county, municipality, or special
   72  district. Any governing authority of a local government imposing
   73  an impact fee in existence on July 1, 2012, must reauthorize the
   74  imposition of the fee pursuant to this paragraph.
   75         (b) Paragraph (a) does not apply to any impact fee or fee
   76  associated with the mitigation of transportation impacts
   77  previously enacted by law, ordinance, or resolution assessed on
   78  existing development before July 1, 2013.
   79         (c) In order to maintain the exemption from impact fees and
   80  fees associated with the mitigation of transportation impacts
   81  pursuant to paragraph (a), a new development must receive a
   82  certificate of occupancy by July 1, 2017. If the certificate of
   83  occupancy is not received by July 1, 2017, the county,
   84  municipality, or special district may impose the appropriate
   85  impact fees and fees associated with the mitigation of
   86  transportation impacts on the development that would have been
   87  applied but for this subsection. Any outstanding obligation
   88  related to impact fees and fees associated with the mitigation
   89  of transportation impacts on the development runs with the land
   90  and is enforceable against any person claiming a fee interest in
   91  the land subject to that obligation.
   92         (d) This subsection does not apply if it requires any
   93  modification to the financing of a county, municipality, or
   94  special district that would invalidate existing contracts,
   95  including debt obligations or covenants and agreements relating
   96  to bonds validated or issued by the county, municipality, or
   97  special district.
   98         (e) Upon notification to the county, municipality, or
   99  special district, a developer may elect to have impact fees and
  100  fees associated with the mitigation of transportation impacts
  101  imposed on a development.
  102         (f) This subsection expires July 1, 2017.
  103         Section 3. This act shall take effect July 1, 2013.
