   16  maximum millage rate calculation, but shall be added back to the
   17  maximum millage rate allowed after the roll back has been
   18  applied, the total of which shall be considered the maximum
   19  millage rate for such a county for purposes of this subsection.

   21  general hospital for the upcoming fiscal year shall be
   22  calculated as 11.873 percent times the millage rate levied for
   23  countywide purposes in fiscal year 2007 times 95 percent of the
   24  preliminary tax roll for the upcoming fiscal year. A higher rate
   25  may be adopted only under the following conditions:
   26         1. A rate of not more than 110 percent of the millage
   27  rolled-back rate levied in the prior year based on the previous
   28  year’s maximum millage rate, adjusted for change in per capita
   29  Florida personal income, unless the change in per capita Florida
