432	(c)  If the board determines that a deficit exists in Tier
433	One or Tier Two or that there is any deficit remaining
434	attributable to any of the plan's former subplans and that the
435	deficit cannot be fully funded by using policyholder surplus
436	attributable to former subplan "C" or, if the surplus in the
437	former subplan "C" does not fully fund the deficit and the
438	deficit cannot be fully funded by using any remaining funds in
439	the contingency reserve assessments, the board shall request the
440	office to levy, by order, a deficit assessment against premiums
441	charged to insureds for workers' compensation insurance by
442	insurers as defined in s. 631.904(5). The office shall issue the
443	order after verifying the amount of the deficit. The assessment
444	shall be specified as a percentage of future premium
445	collections, as recommended by the board and approved by the
446	office. The same percentage shall apply to premiums on all
447	workers' compensation policies issued or renewed during the 12-
448	month period beginning on the effective date of the assessment,
449	as specified in the order.
450	(d)  For rates and rating plans effective on or after
451	January 1, 2007, the plan shall be subject to the same
452	requirements of this part for the filing and approval of its
453	rates and rating plans as apply to workers' compensation
454	insurers, except as otherwise provided.
455	(e)  Whenever a deficit exists, the plan shall, within 90
456	days, provide the office with a program to eliminate the deficit
457	within a reasonable time. The deficit may be funded through
458	increased premiums charged to insureds of the plan for
459	subsequent years, through the use of policyholder surplus
460	attributable to any year, including policyholder surplus in
461	former subplan "C" as authorized in subparagraph (5)(d)2.,
462	through the use of assessments as provided in subparagraph
463	(5)(d)2., and through assessments on assessable policies as
464	provided in subparagraph (5)(d)3. Any entity that was a
465	policyholder of former subplan "C" shall not be subject to any
466	assessments that are attributable to deficits in former subplan
467	"C".
468	(f)  Upon dissolution, the assets of the plan shall be
469	applied first to pay all debts, liabilities, and obligations of
470	the plan, including the establishment of reasonable reserves for
471	any contingent liabilities or obligations, and all remaining
472	assets of the plan shall become property of the state and shall
473	be deposited in the Workers' Compensation Administration Trust
474	Fund. However, dissolution shall not take effect as long as the
475	plan has financial obligations outstanding unless adequate
476	provision has been made for the payment of financial obligations
477	pursuant to the documents authorizing the financial obligations.
478	(g)  After the contingency reserve is established, whenever
479	the board determines the subplan or the tier does not have a
480	sufficient cash basis to meet a 6-month period of projected cash
481	needs due to any deficit in the subplan or the tier remaining
482	after accessing any policyholder surplus attributable to former
483	subplan "C," the board is authorized to request the department
484	to transfer funds from the contingency reserve fund within the
485	Workers' Compensation Administration Trust Fund to the plan in
486	an amount sufficient to fund the difference between the amount
487	available and the amount needed to meet the subplan's or the
488	tier's projected cash need for the subsequent 6-month period.
489	The board and the office must first certify to the Department of
490	Financial Services that there is not sufficient cash within the
491	subplan or the tier to meet the projected cash needs in the
492	subplan or the tier within the subsequent 6-month period. The
493	amount requested for transfer to the subplan or the tier may not
494	exceed the difference between the amount available within the
495	subplan or the tier and the amount needed to meet the subplan's
496	or the tier's projected cash need for the subsequent 6-month
497	period, as jointly certified by the board and the Office of
498	Insurance Regulation to the Department of Financial Services,
499	attributable to the former subplan or the tier policyholders.
500	The Department of Financial Services may submit a budget
501	amendment to request release of funds from the Workers'
502	Compensation Administration Trust Fund, subject to the approval
503	of the Legislative Budget Commission. The board shall provide,
504	for review of the Legislative Budget Commission, information on
505	the reasonableness of the plan's administration, including, but
506	not limited to, the plan of operations and costs, claims costs,
507	claims administration costs, overhead costs, claims reserves,
508	and the latest report submitted on administration cost reduction
509	alternatives as required in subparagraph (5)(c)17.
510	(h)  No later than January 1, 2007, the plan shall submit a
511	request to the Internal Revenue Service for a letter ruling or
512	determination on the plan's eligibility as a section 501(c)(3)
513	tax-exempt organization.

600	the requirement of competitive bidding.
601	(b)  The department shall annually publish a report that

1409	Program created.--
1410	(1)  The Legislature finds and declares that recent rapid
1411	increases in the median purchase price of homes and the cost of
1412	rental housing have far outstripped the increases in median
1413	income in the state, preventing essential services personnel
1414	from living in the communities where they serve and thereby
1415	creating the need for innovative solutions for the provision of
1416	housing opportunities for essential services personnel.
1417	(2)  The Community Workforce Housing Innovation Pilot
1418	Program is created to provide affordable rental and home
1419	ownership community workforce housing for essential services
1420	personnel affected by the high cost of housing, using regulatory

1430	adjusted for household size, in areas of critical state concern
1431	designated under s. 380.05, for which the Legislature has

1438	personnel, as defined by each county and eligible municipality
1439	within its respective local housing assistance plan. Each
1440	housing assistance plan shall include a definition of essential
1441	service personnel for the county or eligible municipality,

1462	governments in eligible areas to use local affordable housing
1463	funds, such as those from the State Housing Initiatives
1464	Partnership Program, to assist in meeting the affordable housing
1465	needs of persons eligible under this program.
1466	(6)  Funding shall be targeted to projects in areas where
1467	the disparity between the area median income and the median
1468	sales price for a single-family home is greatest, and for
1469	projects in areas where population growth as a percentage rate
1470	of increase is greatest. The corporation may also fund projects
1471	in areas where innovative regulatory and financial incentives
1472	are made available. The corporation shall fund at least one

1500	government comprehensive plan amendment to implement a Community

1583	1631 and 1658A of the 2006-2007 General Appropriations Act,
