13         Amendment 

14         On page 72, line 4 after the period

15

16  insert:

17  The Legislature recognizes that the Florida Communities Trust

18  Program is goal-oriented, performance-driven, and

19  competition-based and that in order to further these

20  principles, flexibility is a critical element of the program.

21  The Legislature further recognizes that the needs of certain

22  projects or regions of the state will vary over time and that,

23  as a result, there will be occasions when the priorities of

24  the state should be directed to a given project or region.  To

25  allow for this flexibility but also seek an equitable

26  distribution of the proceeds, it is the intent of the

27  Legislature that, upon the completion of this program, those

28  projects selected pursuant to this paragraph will reflect a

29  balance between geographic interests and documentary stamp tax

30  collections.
