       Appropriations Subcommittee on Finance and Tax (Abruzzo)
       recommended the following:
       
    1         Senate Amendment (with title amendment)
    2  
    3         Between lines 64 and 65
    4  insert:
    5         Section 2. Subsection (5) is added to section 163.356,
    6  Florida Statutes, to read:
    7         163.356 Creation of community redevelopment agency.—
    8         (5) Each community redevelopment agency created pursuant to
    9  this part is an instrumentality of the county or municipal
   10  government that created it and is the recipient of significant
   11  ad valorem property tax revenues that would otherwise go
   12  directly to the county or municipal government and, therefore,
   13  the Legislature recognizes a critical need for the oversight of
   14  these revenues. To that end, the jurisdiction of an inspector
   15  general or internal auditor within a county or municipal
   16  government extends to any community redevelopment agency created
   17  by that county or municipal government.

   23         providing that the Legislature recognizes a need for
   24         oversight of community redevelopment agencies;
   25         providing that an inspector general or internal
   26         auditor has certain jurisdiction over such community
   27         redevelopment agencies; providing an effective date.
