  367  a general liability insurance policy coupled with a business
  368  automobile policy. Such policy shall be for the license period,
  369  and evidence of a new or continued policy shall be delivered to
  370  the department at the beginning of each license period. A
  371  licensee shall deliver to the department, in the manner
  372  prescribed by the department, within 10 calendar days after any

  386  addition to any other fees now required by law. The department
  387  shall, in the case of every application for initial licensure,
  388  verify whether certain facts set forth in the application are
  389  true. Each applicant, general partner in the case of a
  390  partnership, or corporate officer and director in the case of a
  391  corporate applicant, must file a set of fingerprints with the
  392  department for the purpose of determining any prior criminal
  393  record or any outstanding warrants. The department shall submit
  394  the fingerprints to the Department of Law Enforcement for state
  395  processing and forwarding to the Federal Bureau of Investigation
  396  for federal processing. The actual cost of state and federal
  397  processing shall be borne by the applicant and is in addition to
  398  the fee for licensure. The department may issue a license to an
  399  applicant pending the results of the fingerprint investigation,
  400  which license is fully revocable if the department subsequently
  401  determines that any facts set forth in the application are not
  402  true or correctly represented.

  448  event exceed the sum of such bond, or, in the case of a letter
  449  of credit, the aggregate liability of the issuing bank shall not
  450  exceed the sum of the credit. The amount of the bond required
  451  shall be as follows:
  452         1. A single dealer who buys, sells, or deals in mobile

  457         2. A single dealer who buys, sells, or deals in mobile
  458  homes and who has more than four supplemental licenses shall
  459  provide a surety bond, cash bond, or irrevocable letter of
  460  credit executed by the dealer applicant or licensee in the
  461  amount of $50,000.
  462  
  463  For the purposes of this paragraph, any person who buys, sells,
  464  or deals in both mobile homes and recreational vehicles shall
  465  provide the same surety bond required of dealers who buy, sell,
  466  or deal in mobile homes only.
  467         Section 10. Paragraph (j) of subsection (3) and paragraph
  468  (a) of subsection (16) of section 320.771, Florida Statutes, are

  476  under a garage liability insurance policy, which shall include,
  477  at a minimum, $25,000 combined single-limit liability coverage,
  478  including bodily injury and property damage protection, and

  486  within 10 calendar days after any issuance of a new policy, a
  487  copy of such renewed, continued, changed, or new policy.

  489  licensure of a mobile home dealer who sells only park trailers.
  490  
  491  The department shall, if it deems necessary, cause an
  492  investigation to be made to ascertain if the facts set forth in
  493  the application are true and shall not issue a license to the
  494  applicant until it is satisfied that the facts set forth in the
  495  application are true.

  503  department, within 10 calendar days after any renewal or
  504  continuation of or change in such surety bond or within 10
  505  calendar days after any issuance of a new surety bond, a copy of
  506  such renewed, continued, changed, or new surety bond. The bond
  507  shall be in a form to be approved by the department and shall be
  508  conditioned upon the dealer’s complying with the conditions of
  509  any written contract made by that dealer in connection with the
  510  sale, exchange, or improvement of any recreational vehicle and
  511  his or her not violating any of the provisions of chapter 319 or
  512  this chapter in the conduct of the business for which he or she
  513  is licensed. The bond shall be to the department and in favor of
  514  any retail customer who shall suffer any loss as a result of any
  515  violation of the conditions hereinabove contained. The bond
  516  shall be for the license period, and a new bond or a proper
  517  continuation certificate shall be delivered to the department at
  518  the beginning of each license period. However, the aggregate
  519  liability of the surety in any one license year shall in no
  520  event exceed the sum of such bond. The amount of the bond
  521  required shall be as follows:

  527  licenses shall provide a surety bond in the amount of $20,000.
  528  
  529  For the purposes of this paragraph, any person who buys, sells,
  530  or deals in both mobile homes and recreational vehicles shall
  531  provide the same surety bond required of dealers who buy, sell,
  532  or deal in mobile homes only.
  533         Section 11. Paragraphs (a) and (b) of subsection (5) of
  534  section 320.8225, Florida Statutes, are amended to read:

  536  distributor, and importer license.—
  537         (5) REQUIREMENT OF ASSURANCE.—

  550  cash bond, or letter of credit must be to the department, in
  551  favor of any retail customer who suffers a loss arising out of
  552  noncompliance with code standards or failure to honor or provide
  553  warranty service. The department may disapprove any bond or
  554  letter of credit that does not provide assurance as provided in
  555  this section. A licensee shall deliver to the department, in the
  556  manner prescribed by the department, within 10 calendar days
  557  after any renewal or continuation of or change in such surety
  558  bond, cash bond, or letter of credit or within 10 calendar days
  559  after any issuance of a new surety bond, cash bond, or letter of
  560  credit, a copy of such renewed, continued, changed, or new

  571  department, in favor of any retail customer who suffers loss
  572  arising out of noncompliance with code standards or failure to

  574  any bond that does not provide assurance as provided in this
  575  section. The licensee shall deliver to the department, in the
  576  manner prescribed by the department, within 10 calendar days
  577  after any renewal or continuation of or change in such surety
  578  bond or within 10 calendar days after any issuance of a new
  579  surety bond, a copy of such renewed, continued, changed, or new
  580  surety bond.
  581         Section 12. Section 320.861, Florida Statutes, is amended
  582  to read:
  583         320.861 Investigations; subpoenas and other process; oaths;
  584  rules Inspection of records; production of evidence; subpoena

  611  requiring such person to obey the subpoena or show cause for
  612  failing to obey the subpoena. Unless the person shows sufficient
  613  cause for failing to obey the subpoena, the court must direct
  614  the person to obey the subpoena. Failure to comply with such

  667         Section 14. Subsection (7) of section 337.14, Florida
  668  Statutes, is amended to read:
  669         337.14 Application for qualification; certificate of
  670  qualification; restrictions; request for hearing.—
  671         (7) A “contractor” as defined in s. 337.165(1)(d) or his or
  672  her “affiliate” as defined in s. 337.165(1)(a) qualified with
  673  the department under this section may not also qualify under s.
  674  287.055 or s. 337.105 to provide testing services, construction,
  675  engineering, and inspection services to the department. This
  676  limitation does not apply to any design-build prequalification
  677  under s. 337.11(7) and does not apply when the department
  678  otherwise determines by written order entered at least 30 days
  679  before advertisement that the limitation is not in the best
  680  interests of the public with respect to a particular contract
  681  for testing services, construction, engineering, and inspection
  682  services. This subsection does not authorize a contractor to
  683  provide testing services, or provide construction, engineering,
  684  and inspection services, to the department in connection with a
  685  construction contract under which the contractor is performing
  686  any work. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the
  687  contrary, for a project that is wholly or partially funded by
  688  the department and administered by a local governmental entity,
  689  except for a seaport listed in s. 311.09 or an airport as
  690  defined in s. 332.004, the entity performing design and
  691  construction engineering and inspection services may not be the
  692  same entity.
  693         Section 15. Paragraph (a) of subsection (8) of section
  694  338.221, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:
  695         338.221 Definitions.—As used in ss. 338.22-338.241, the
  696  following words and terms have the following meanings, unless
  697  the context indicates another or different meaning or intent:
  698         (8) “Economically feasible” means:
  699         (a) For a proposed turnpike project, that, as determined by
  700  the department before the issuance of revenue bonds for the
  701  project, the estimated net revenues of the proposed turnpike
  702  project, excluding feeder roads and turnpike improvements, will
  703  be sufficient to pay at least 50 percent of the average annual
  704  debt service on the bonds associated with the project by the end
  705  of the 12th year of operation and to pay at least 100 percent of
  706  the average annual debt service on the bonds by the end of the
  707  30th year of operation. In implementing this paragraph, up to 50
  708  percent of the adopted work program costs of the project may be
  709  funded from turnpike revenues.
  710  
  711  This subsection does not prohibit the pledging of revenues from
  712  the entire turnpike system to bonds issued to finance or
  713  refinance a turnpike project or group of turnpike projects.
  714         Section 16. Subsection (4) of section 339.0809, Florida
  715  Statutes, is amended to read:
  716         339.0809 Florida Department of Transportation Financing
  717  Corporation.—
  718         (4) The Florida Department of Transportation Financing
  719  Corporation may enter into one or more service contracts with
  720  the department to provide services to the department in
  721  connection with projects approved in the department’s work
  722  program, which approval specifically provides that the
  723  department may enter into a service contract for the project
  724  pursuant to this section. The department may enter into one or
  725  more such service contracts with the corporation and provide for
  726  payments under such contracts, subject to annual appropriation
  727  by the Legislature. The proceeds from such service contracts may
  728  be used for the corporation’s administrative costs and expenses
  729  after payments under subsection (5). Each service contract may
  730  have a term of up to 35 years. In compliance with s. 287.0641
  731  and other applicable law, the obligations of the department
  732  under such service contracts do not constitute a general
  733  obligation of the state or a pledge of the full faith and credit
  734  or taxing power of the state, and such obligations are not an
  735  obligation of the State Board of Administration or entities for
  736  which it invests funds, other than the department as provided in
  737  this section, but are payable solely from amounts available in
  738  the State Transportation Trust Fund, subject to annual
  739  appropriation. Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, funds in
  740  the State Transportation Trust Fund must first be available for
  741  appropriation for payments under a service contract before any
  742  other purpose, except for payments pursuant to s. 215.616, s.
  743  215.617, s. 320.20(3) or (4), or s. 339.0801(1)(a). Annual debt
  744  service on the corporation’s bonds payable from moneys
  745  appropriated for service contract payments may not exceed $100
  746  million. In compliance with this subsection and s. 287.0582, the
  747  service contract must expressly include the following statement:
  748  “The State of Florida’s performance and obligation to pay under
  749  this contract is contingent upon an annual appropriation by the
  750  Legislature.”
  751         Section 17. Part III of chapter 343, Florida Statutes,
  752  consisting of sections 343.80, 343.805, 343.81, 343.82, 343.83,

  810  part of its next legislative budget request and tentative work

  812  the intent of the Legislature that such project be given
  813  priority as a project financed from subsequent issuances of
  814  turnpike revenue bonds approved by the Legislature; however,
  815  such priority consideration is contingent on the project’s
  816  meeting all economic feasibility requirements and upon the
  817  project’s being financed without the use of capitalized
  818  interest.
  819         Section 22. Notwithstanding any other law, the Northwest

  827  proportion to each entity’s contribution to the acquisition of
  828  the assets.
  829         Section 23. This act shall take effect July 1, 2021.
