| 9 | (3) Any municipality, subject to the approval of a |
| 10 | majority of the affected property owners who actually vote in |
| 11 | the vote required by this section, may levy and collect special |
| 12 | assessments against property benefited for the purpose of |

| 24 | assessments that the vote of the affected property owners shall |
| 25 | be conducted by voting by tax folio numbers of affected |
| 26 | properties or by total square footage of the affected |
| 27 | properties. |
| 28 | Section 2. Subsection (5) is added to section 255.20, |

| 30 | 255.20 Local bids and contracts for public construction |
| 31 | works; specification of state-produced lumber; purchases by |
| 32 | special districts.-- |
| 33 | (5) Special districts may purchase commodities and |
| 34 | contractual services from the purchasing agreements of other |
| 35 | special districts, municipalities, or counties procured pursuant |
| 36 | to competitive bid, requests for proposals, requests for |
| 37 | qualifications, competitive selection, or competitive |
| 38 | negotiations, and otherwise in compliance with general law, if |
| 39 | the purchasing agreement of the other special district, |
| 40 | municipality, or county was procured by a process that would |
| 41 | have met the procurement requirements of the purchasing special |
| 42 | district. For the purpose of s. 282.104, special districts shall |
| 43 | be treated as municipalities. |
