| 601 | credit support to permit such borrowings. However, such debt |
| 602 | shall not constitute a general obligation of the State of |
| 603 | Florida. The state does hereby covenant with holders of such |
| 604 | revenue bonds or other instruments of indebtedness issued |
| 605 | hereunder that it will not repeal or impair or amend in any |
| 606 | manner which will materially and adversely affect the rights of |
| 607 | such holders so long as bonds authorized by this section are |
| 608 | outstanding. Any revenues which are not pledged to the repayment |
| 609 | of bonds as authorized by this section may be utilized for |
| 610 | purposes authorized under the Florida Seaport Transportation and |
| 611 | Economic Development Program. This revenue source is in addition |
| 612 | to any amounts provided for and appropriated in accordance with |
| 613 | s. 311.07. The Florida Seaport Transportation and Economic |
| 614 | Development Council shall approve distribution of funds to ports |
| 615 | for projects which have been approved pursuant to s. 311.09(5)- |
| 616 | (9). The council and the Department of Transportation are |
| 617 | authorized to perform such acts as are required to facilitate |
| 618 | and implement the provisions of this subsection. To better |
| 619 | enable the ports to cooperate to their mutual advantage, the |
| 620 | governing body of each port may exercise powers provided to |

| 631 | subsection. The revenues available under this subsection shall |
| 632 | not be pledged to the payment of any bonds other than the |
| 633 | Florida Ports Financing Commission Series 1996 and Series 1999 |
| 634 | Bonds currently outstanding; provided, however, such revenues |
| 635 | may be pledged to secure payment of refunding bonds to refinance |
| 636 | the Florida Ports Financing Commission Series 1996 and Series |
| 637 | 1999 Bonds. No refunding bonds secured by revenues available |
| 638 | under this subsection may be issued with a final maturity later |
| 639 | than the final maturity of the Florida Ports Financing |
| 640 | Commission Series 1996 and Series 1999 Bonds or which provide |
| 641 | for higher debt service in any year than is currently payable on |
| 642 | such bonds. Any revenue bonds or other indebtedness issued after |
| 643 | July 1, 2000, other than refunding bonds shall be issued by the |
| 644 | Division of Bond Finance at the request of the Department of |
| 645 | Transportation pursuant to the State Bond Act. |
| 646 | (5)(4) Notwithstanding any other provision of law except |
| 647 | subsections (1), (2), and (3), and (4), on July 1, 1999, and |

| 660 | s. 341.053(5) that are identified in the 5-year Florida Seaport |
| 661 | Mission Plan as provided in s. 311.09(3). Funding for such |
| 662 | projects shall be on a matching basis as mutually determined by |
| 663 | the Florida Seaport Transportation and Economic Development |
| 664 | Council and the Department of Transportation, provided a minimum |
| 665 | of 25 percent of total project funds shall come from any port |
| 666 | funds, local funds, private funds, or specifically earmarked |
| 667 | federal funds. |
| 668 | (c) On a 50-50 matching basis for projects as described in |
| 669 | s. 311.07(3)(b). |
| 670 | (d) For seaport intermodal access projects that involve |
| 671 | the dredging or deepening of channels, turning basins, or |
| 672 | harbors; or the rehabilitation of wharves, docks, or similar |
| 673 | structures. Funding for such projects shall require a 25 percent |
| 674 | match of the funds received pursuant to this subsection. |
| 675 | Matching funds shall come from any port funds, federal funds, |
| 676 | local funds, or private funds. |
| 677 |
|
| 678 | Such revenues may be assigned, pledged, or set aside as a trust |
| 679 | for the payment of principal or interest on bonds, tax |
| 680 | anticipation certificates, or any other form of indebtedness |
| 681 | issued by an individual port or appropriate local government |
| 682 | having jurisdiction thereof, or collectively by interlocal |
| 683 | agreement among any of the ports, or used to purchase credit |
| 684 | support to permit such borrowings. However, such debt shall not |
| 685 | constitute a general obligation of the state. This state does |
| 686 | hereby covenant with holders of such revenue bonds or other |
| 687 | instruments of indebtedness issued hereunder that it will not |
| 688 | repeal or impair or amend this subsection in any manner which |
| 689 | will materially and adversely affect the rights of holders so |
| 690 | long as bonds authorized by this subsection are outstanding. Any |
| 691 | revenues that are not pledged to the repayment of bonds as |
| 692 | authorized by this section may be utilized for purposes |
| 693 | authorized under the Florida Seaport Transportation and Economic |
| 694 | Development Program. This revenue source is in addition to any |
| 695 | amounts provided for and appropriated in accordance with s. |
| 696 | 311.07 and subsection (4) (3). The Florida Seaport |
| 697 | Transportation and Economic Development Council shall approve |
| 698 | distribution of funds to ports for projects that have been |
| 699 | approved pursuant to s. 311.09(5)-(9), or for seaport intermodal |
| 700 | access projects identified in the 5-year Florida Seaport Mission |
| 701 | Plan as provided in s. 311.09(3) and mutually agreed upon by the |
| 702 | FSTED Council and the Department of Transportation. All |
| 703 | contracts for actual construction of projects authorized by this |
| 704 | subsection must include a provision encouraging employment of |
| 705 | participants in the welfare transition program. The goal for |
| 706 | employment of participants in the welfare transition program is |
| 707 | 25 percent of all new employees employed specifically for the |
| 708 | project, unless the Department of Transportation and the Florida |
| 709 | Seaport Transportation and Economic Development Council |
| 710 | demonstrate that such a requirement would severely hamper the |
| 711 | successful completion of the project. In such an instance, |
| 712 | Workforce Florida, Inc., shall establish an appropriate |
| 713 | percentage of employees that must be participants in the welfare |
| 714 | transition program. The council and the Department of |
| 715 | Transportation are authorized to perform such acts as are |
| 716 | required to facilitate and implement the provisions of this |
| 717 | subsection. To better enable the ports to cooperate to their |
| 718 | mutual advantage, the governing body of each port may exercise |
| 719 | powers provided to municipalities or counties in s. 163.01(7)(d) |
| 720 | subject to the provisions of chapter 311 and special acts, if |
| 721 | any, pertaining to a port. The use of funds provided pursuant to |
| 722 | this subsection is limited to eligible projects listed in this |
| 723 | subsection. The provisions of s. 311.07(4) do not apply to any |
| 724 | funds received pursuant to this subsection. The revenues |
| 725 | available under this subsection shall not be pledged to the |
| 726 | payment of any bonds other than the Florida Ports Financing |
| 727 | Commission Series 1996 and Series 1999 Bonds currently |
| 728 | outstanding; provided, however, such revenues may be pledged to |
| 729 | secure payment of refunding bonds to refinance the Florida Ports |
| 730 | Financing Commission Series 1996 and Series 1999 Bonds. No |
| 731 | refunding bonds secured by revenues available under this |
| 732 | subsection may be issued with a final maturity later than the |
| 733 | final maturity of the Florida Ports Financing Commission Series |
| 734 | 1996 and Series 1999 Bonds or which provide for higher debt |
| 735 | service in any year than is currently payable on such bonds. Any |
| 736 | revenue bonds or other indebtedness issued after July 1, 2000, |
| 737 | other than refunding bonds shall be issued by the Division of |
| 738 | Bond Finance at the request of the Department of Transportation |
| 739 | pursuant to the State Bond Act. |

| 742 | Transportation Trust Fund. |
| 743 | (b) The Chief Financial Officer each month shall deposit |
| 744 | in the State Transportation Trust Fund an amount, drawn from |
| 745 | other funds in the State Treasury which are not immediately |
| 746 | needed or are otherwise in excess of the amount necessary to |
| 747 | meet the requirements of the State Treasury, which when added to |
| 748 | such remaining revenues each month will equal one-twelfth of the |
| 749 | amount of the anticipated annual revenues to be deposited in the |
| 750 | State Transportation Trust Fund under paragraph (a) as |
| 751 | determined by the Chief Financial Officer after consultation |
| 752 | with the Revenue Estimating Conference held pursuant to s. |
| 753 | 216.136(3). The transfers required hereunder may be suspended by |
| 754 | action of the Legislative Budget Commission in the event of a |
| 755 | significant shortfall of state revenues. |
| 756 | (c) In any month in which the remaining revenues derived |
| 757 | from the registration of motor vehicles exceed one-twelfth of |
| 758 | those anticipated annual remaining revenues as determined by the |
| 759 | Chief Financial Officer after consultation with the Revenue |
| 760 | Estimating Conference, the excess shall be credited to those |
| 761 | state funds in the State Treasury from which the amount was |
| 762 | originally drawn, up to the amount which was deposited in the |
| 763 | State Transportation Trust Fund under paragraph (b). A final |
| 764 | adjustment must be made in the last months of a fiscal year so |
| 765 | that the total revenue deposited in the State Transportation |
| 766 | Trust Fund each year equals the amount derived from the |
| 767 | registration of motor vehicles, less the amount distributed |
| 768 | under subsections subsection (1) and (2). For the purposes of |
| 769 | this paragraph and paragraph (b), the term "remaining revenues" |
| 770 | means all revenues deposited into the State Transportation Trust |
| 771 | Fund under paragraph (a) and subsections (2) and (3) and (4). In |
| 772 | order that interest earnings continue to accrue to the General |
| 773 | Revenue Fund, the Department of Transportation may not invest an |
| 774 | amount equal to the cumulative amount of funds deposited in the |
| 775 | State Transportation Trust Fund under paragraph (b) less funds |
| 776 | credited under this paragraph as computed on a monthly basis. |
| 777 | The amounts to be credited under this and the preceding |
| 778 | paragraph must be calculated and certified to the Chief |
| 779 | Financial Officer by the Executive Office of the Governor. |

| 781 | Statutes, is amended to read: |

| 834 | Statutes, is amended to read: |
| 835 | 322.12 Examination of applicants.-- |
| 836 | (1) It is the intent of the Legislature that every |

| 856 | state. |
| 857 | Section 21. Subsection (9) and paragraph (a) of subsection |

| 964 | funds received by it as follows: |

| 986 | imposed for each offense. The department shall collect and |
