13         Senate Amendment (with title amendment) 
14         On page 11, between lines 17 and 18,
15
16  insert:
17         (6)(a)  Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no
18  methodology, formula, or database that is that is adopted by
19  rule or policy in any year subsequent to the effective date of
20  this act may result in a distribution to a participating
21  municipality that has a retirement plan pursuant to the
22  provisions of chapter 185 an amount of the insurance premium
23  tax which is less that the amount distributed to such
24  municipality in 2002. If the total proceeds to be distributed
25  from the insurance premium tax imposed under s. 185.08 are
26  less than the amount received in the 2002 calendar year, each
27  municipality shall receive an amount proportionate to the
28  amount it received in the 2002 calendar year. This paragraph
29  is repealed on January 1, 2006.
30         (b)  A municipality that receives an insurance premium
31  tax distribution in excess of 200 percent of the tax
                                  1

                                                  SENATE AMENDMENT
    Bill No. CS for SB 426
    Amendment No. ___   Barcode 144956
  1  distribution that such municipality received for the calendar
  2  year 1998 is not required to expend for extra pension benefits
  3  such portion of its insurance premium tax distribution which
  4  exceeds 200 percent of the calendar year 1998 distribution,
  5  provided such municipality has met all the minimum pension
  6  benefit requirements of chapter 99-1, Laws of Florida. This
  7  paragraph is effective only for calendar year 2004 and expires
  8  on January 1, 2005.
  9         (c)  The contrary notwithstanding, beginning January 1,
10  2005, and each calendar year thereafter, each municipality
11  that receives the insurance premium tax and has met all the
12  minimum pension benefits required in chapter 99-1, Laws of
13  Florida, must expend its total annual distribution of such
14  insurance premium tax to provide additional or extra benefits
15  for its police officers. The term "extra or additional
16  benefits" means benefits that are greater than those provided
17  to the general employees of March 12, 1999, and thereafter.
18         (d)  The requirements of this subsection do not apply
19  to a municipality that uses its insurance premium tax
20  distribution for supplemental benefits. Furthermore, the
21  Municipal Police and Firefighters Trust Fund Office shall
22  determine the appropriate distribution and shall notify the
23  respective municipality.
