11  The Committee on Economic Development & International Trade

13  
14         Amendment (with title amendment) 
15  Remove from the bill:  Everything after the enacting clause
16  
17  and insert in lieu thereof:  
18         Section 1.  This act may be cited as the "Aerospace
19  Infrastructure Reinvestment Act."
20         Section 2.  The Legislature finds that promoting the
21  growth of the space industry in Florida is a vital component
22  of its overall economic plan and that facilitating additions
23  to aerospace infrastructure will make the state more
24  competitive and promote the retention and growth of space
25  businesses in this state. This act therefore provides for the
26  reinvestment of certain sales tax receipts arising from the
27  presence of the space industry in Florida as a means of
28  providing for that infrastructure growth.
29         Section 3.  Paragraphs (b) and (e) of subsection (6) of
30  section 212.20, Florida Statutes, are amended to read:
31         212.20  Funds collected, disposition; additional powers
