14 (d) The proceeds of all other taxes and fees imposed
15 pursuant to this chapter or remitted pursuant to s. 202.18(1)(b)
16 and (2)(b) shall be distributed as follows:
17 1. In any fiscal year, the greater of $500 million, minus
18 an amount equal to 4.6 percent of the proceeds of the taxes
19 collected pursuant to chapter 201, or 5.2 percent of all other
20 taxes and fees imposed pursuant to this chapter or remitted
21 pursuant to s. 202.18(1)(b) and (2)(b) shall be deposited in
22 monthly installments into the General Revenue Fund.
23 2. After the distribution under subparagraph 1., 8.9744
24 percent of the amount remitted by a sales tax dealer located
25 within a participating county pursuant to s. 218.61 shall be
26 transferred into the Local Government Half-cent Sales Tax
27 Clearing Trust Fund. Beginning July 1, 2003, the amount to be
28 transferred shall be reduced by 0.1 percent, and the department
29 shall distribute this amount to the Public Employees Relations
30 Commission Trust Fund less $5,000 each month, which shall be
31 added to the amount calculated in subparagraph 3. and
32 distributed accordingly.
33 3. After the distribution under subparagraphs 1. and 2.,
34 0.0966 percent shall be transferred to the Local Government
35 Half-cent Sales Tax Clearing Trust Fund and distributed pursuant
36 to s. 218.65.
37 4. After the distributions under subparagraphs 1., 2., and

39 transferred monthly to the Revenue Sharing Trust Fund for
40 Counties pursuant to s. 218.215.
41 5. After the distributions under subparagraphs 1., 2., and
42 3., 1.3653 percent of the available proceeds shall be
43 transferred monthly to the Revenue Sharing Trust Fund for
44 Municipalities pursuant to s. 218.215. If the total revenue to
45 be distributed pursuant to this subparagraph is at least as
46 great as the amount due from the Revenue Sharing Trust Fund for
47 Municipalities and the former Municipal Financial Assistance
48 Trust Fund in state fiscal year 1999-2000, no municipality shall
49 receive less than the amount due from the Revenue Sharing Trust
50 Fund for Municipalities and the former Municipal Financial
51 Assistance Trust Fund in state fiscal year 1999-2000. If the
52 total proceeds to be distributed are less than the amount

58 6. Of the remaining proceeds:
59 a. In each fiscal year, the sum of $29,915,500 shall be

61 state, and one part shall be distributed to each county. The
62 distribution among the several counties must begin each fiscal
63 year on or before January 5th and continue monthly for a total
64 of 4 months. If a local or special law required that any moneys
65 accruing to a county in fiscal year 1999-2000 under the then
66 existing provisions of s. 550.135 be paid directly to the
67 district school board, special district, or a municipal
68 government, such payment must continue until the local or
69 special law is amended or repealed. The state covenants with
70 holders of bonds or other instruments of indebtedness issued by
71 local governments, special districts, or district school boards
72 before July 1, 2000, that it is not the intent of this
73 subparagraph to adversely affect the rights of those holders or
74 relieve local governments, special districts, or district school
75 boards of the duty to meet their obligations as a result of
76 previous pledges or assignments or trusts entered into which
77 obligated funds received from the distribution to county
78 governments under then-existing s. 550.135. This distribution
79 specifically is in lieu of funds distributed under s. 550.135
80 before July 1, 2000.
