| 3 | Amendment (with title amendment) |
| 4 | Between line(s) 1335 and 1336 insert: |
| 5 | Section 8. An annual fee not to exceed $1,000, established |
| 6 | by the Division of Pari-mutuel Wagering, per slot machine is |
| 7 | imposed upon each slot machine approved for use at any eligible |
| 8 | facility as defined in s. 551.102, Florida Statutes, which is |
| 9 | within 1 mile of any neighboring municipality. A "neighboring |
| 10 | municipality" means a municipality that does not have an |
| 11 | eligible facility but is adjacent to an eligible facility and |
| 12 | will have public safety, police, and fire-rescue impacts that |
| 13 | are demonstrated by significant increased aid calls to affected |
| 14 | municipalities that are currently not funded. Revenue from the |
| 15 | fees imposed by this section must be used by the neighboring |
| 16 | municipality to fund the adverse public health, safety, and |
| 17 | welfare and public works and traffic impacts that will be caused |
| 18 | by the implementation of Section 23, Article X of the State |
| 19 | Constitution and that will occur as a direct result of slot |
| 20 | machine operations. The annual fee must be remitted to the |
| 21 | Division of Pari-mutuel Wagering to be deposited into the Pari- |
| 22 | mutuel Wagering Trust Fund and distributed by the division to |
| 23 | any neighboring municipality that evidences to the division |
| 24 | annually such local impacts established by rules adopted |
| 25 | pursuant to s. 120.536(1) and s. 120.54, Florida Statutes, which |
| 26 | provide criteria for significant local impacts, including |
| 27 | increased crime incident reports, fire-rescue and emergency |
| 28 | medical incident reports, and traffic flow and infrastructure |
| 29 | impacts. The fee must be remitted by February 1 of each year |
| 30 | based on the number of slot machines approved for operation by |
| 31 | the division as of January 1. The funds shall be designated by |
| 32 | the division on a pro rata basis to such affected neighboring |
| 33 | municipalities. |
