3     Amendment (with title amendment):
4     Remove lines 69-94 and insert:
5department's enabling legislation. Because the Legislature
6recognizes that private entities or consortia thereof would
7perform a governmental or public purpose or function when they
8enter into agreements with the department to design, build,
9operate, own, or finance transportation facilities, the
10transportation facilities, including leasehold interests
11thereof, are exempt from ad valorem taxes as provided in chapter
12196 to the extent property is owned by the state or other
13government entity, and from intangible taxes as provided in
14chapter 199 and special assessments of the state, any city,
15town, county, special district, political subdivision of the
16state, or any other governmental entity. The private entities or
17consortia thereof are exempt from tax imposed by chapter 201 on
18all documents or obligations to pay money which arise out of the
19agreements to design, build, operate, own, lease, or finance
20transportation facilities. Any private entities or consortia
21thereof must pay any applicable corporate taxes as provided in
22chapters 220 and 221, and unemployment compensation taxes as
23provided in chapter 443, and sales and use tax as provided in
24chapter 212 shall be applicable. The private entities or
25consortia thereof must also register and collect the tax imposed
26by chapter 212 on all their direct sales and leases that are
27subject to tax under chapter 212. The agreement between the
28private entity or consortia thereof and the department
29establishing a transportation facility under this chapter
30constitute documentation sufficient to claim any exemption under
31this section.
