1 are subject to s. 1011.73. Funds generated by such additional
2 millage do not become a part of the calculation of the Florida
3 Education Finance Program total potential funds in 2001-2002
4 or any subsequent year and must not be incorporated in the
5 calculation of any hold-harmless or other component of the
6 Florida Education Finance Program formula in any year. If an
7 increase in required local effort, when added to existing
8 millage levied under the 10-mill limit, would result in a
9 combined millage in excess of the 10-mill limit, any millage
10 levied pursuant to this subsection shall be considered to be
11 required local effort to the extent that the district millage
12 would otherwise exceed the 10-mill limit.
13 Section 44. Subsection (2) of section 1011.73, Florida
14 Statutes, is amended to read:
15 1011.73 District millage elections.--
16 (2) MILLAGE AUTHORIZED NOT TO EXCEED 10 4 YEARS.--The
17 district school board, pursuant to resolution adopted at a
18 regular meeting, shall direct the county commissioners to call
19 an election at which the electors within the school district
20 may approve an ad valorem tax millage as authorized under s.
21 1011.71(6). Such election may be held at any time, except that
22 not more than one such election shall be held during any
23 12-month period. Any millage so authorized shall be levied for
24 a period not in excess of 10 4 years or until changed by
25 another millage election, whichever is earlier. If any such
26 election is invalidated by a court of competent jurisdiction,
27 such invalidated election shall be considered not to have been
28 held.
