| 14 | specifically assigned to any department or agency on any basis. |
| 15 | (2) The Department of Management Services shall charge all |
| 16 | persons receiving transportation from the executive aircraft |
| 17 | pool a rate not less than the mileage allowance fixed by the |
| 18 | Legislature for the use of privately owned vehicles. However, |
| 19 | state employees traveling on a space-available basis may not be |
| 20 | charged more than the vehicle mileage allowance. |
| 21 | (3) Fees collected for persons traveling by aircraft in |
| 22 | the executive aircraft pool shall be deposited into the Bureau |
| 23 | of Aircraft Trust Fund and shall be expended for fuel, |
| 24 | maintenance, or other costs incurred in accordance with rules |
| 25 | adopted pursuant to s. 287.16. |
