548 | be deposited in the General Revenue Fund. The deposits to the |

551 | adjustment must be made in the last month of a fiscal year so |
552 | that the total revenue deposited in the General Revenue Fund |
553 | each year equals 50 percent of the amount derived from the |

556 | revenues must be deposited in the State Transportation Trust |
557 | Fund, with priority use assigned to completion of the interstate |

568 | 311.09(1) to be used for funding projects as described in s. |
569 | 311.07(3)(b). Such revenues may be assigned, pledged, or set |

571 | bonds, tax anticipation certificates, or any other form of |
572 | indebtedness issued by an individual port or appropriate local |
573 | government having jurisdiction thereof, or collectively by |
574 | interlocal agreement among any of the ports, or used to purchase |
575 | credit support to permit such borrowings. However, such debt |
576 | shall not constitute a general obligation of the State of |
577 | Florida. The state does hereby covenant with holders of such |
578 | revenue bonds or other instruments of indebtedness issued |
579 | hereunder that it will not repeal or impair or amend in any |
580 | manner which will materially and adversely affect the rights of |
581 | such holders so long as bonds authorized by this section are |
582 | outstanding. Any revenues which are not pledged to the repayment |
583 | of bonds as authorized by this section may be utilized for |
584 | purposes authorized under the Florida Seaport Transportation and |
585 | Economic Development Program. This revenue source is in addition |
586 | to any amounts provided for and appropriated in accordance with |
587 | s. 311.07. The Florida Seaport Transportation and Economic |
588 | Development Council shall approve distribution of funds to ports |
589 | for projects which have been approved pursuant to s. 311.09(5)- |
590 | (9). The council and the Department of Transportation are |
591 | authorized to perform such acts as are required to facilitate |
592 | and implement the provisions of this subsection. To better |
593 | enable the ports to cooperate to their mutual advantage, the |
594 | governing body of each port may exercise powers provided to |
595 | municipalities or counties in s. 163.01(7)(d) subject to the |
596 | provisions of chapter 311 and special acts, if any, pertaining |
597 | to a port. The use of funds provided pursuant to this subsection |
598 | are limited to eligible projects listed in this subsection. |
599 | Income derived from a project completed with the use of program |
600 | funds, beyond operating costs and debt service, shall be |
601 | restricted to further port capital improvements consistent with |
602 | maritime purposes and for no other purpose. Use of such income |
603 | for nonmaritime purposes is prohibited. The provisions of s. |
604 | 311.07(4) do not apply to any funds received pursuant to this |
605 | subsection. The revenues available under this subsection shall |
606 | not be pledged to the payment of any bonds other than the |
607 | Florida Ports Financing Commission Series 1996 and Series 1999 |
608 | Bonds currently outstanding; provided, however, such revenues |
609 | may be pledged to secure payment of refunding bonds to refinance |
610 | the Florida Ports Financing Commission Series 1996 and Series |
611 | 1999 Bonds. No refunding bonds secured by revenues available |
612 | under this subsection may be issued with a final maturity later |
613 | than the final maturity of the Florida Ports Financing |
614 | Commission Series 1996 and Series 1999 Bonds or which provide |
615 | for higher debt service in any year than is currently payable on |
616 | such bonds. Any revenue bonds or other indebtedness issued after |
617 | July 1, 2000, other than refunding bonds shall be issued by the |
618 | Division of Bond Finance at the request of the Department of |
619 | Transportation pursuant to the State Bond Act. |
620 | (5)(4) Notwithstanding any other provision of law except |
621 | subsections (1), (2), and (3), and (4), on July 1, 1999, and |
622 | annually thereafter, $10 million shall be deposited in the State |
623 | Transportation Trust Fund solely for the purposes of funding the |
624 | Florida Seaport Transportation and Economic Development Program |
625 | as provided in chapter 311 and for funding seaport intermodal |
626 | access projects of statewide significance as provided in s. |
627 | 341.053. Such revenues shall be distributed to any port listed |
628 | in s. 311.09(1), to be used for funding projects as follows: |
629 | (a) For any seaport intermodal access projects that are |
630 | identified in the 1997-1998 Tentative Work Program of the |
631 | Department of Transportation, up to the amounts needed to offset |
632 | the funding requirements of this section. |
633 | (b) For seaport intermodal access projects as described in |
634 | s. 341.053(5) that are identified in the 5-year Florida Seaport |
635 | Mission Plan as provided in s. 311.09(3). Funding for such |
636 | projects shall be on a matching basis as mutually determined by |
637 | the Florida Seaport Transportation and Economic Development |
638 | Council and the Department of Transportation, provided a minimum |
639 | of 25 percent of total project funds shall come from any port |
640 | funds, local funds, private funds, or specifically earmarked |
641 | federal funds. |
642 | (c) On a 50-50 matching basis for projects as described in |
643 | s. 311.07(3)(b). |
644 | (d) For seaport intermodal access projects that involve |
645 | the dredging or deepening of channels, turning basins, or |
646 | harbors; or the rehabilitation of wharves, docks, or similar |
647 | structures. Funding for such projects shall require a 25 percent |
648 | match of the funds received pursuant to this subsection. |
649 | Matching funds shall come from any port funds, federal funds, |
650 | local funds, or private funds. |
651 |
|
652 | Such revenues may be assigned, pledged, or set aside as a trust |
653 | for the payment of principal or interest on bonds, tax |
654 | anticipation certificates, or any other form of indebtedness |
655 | issued by an individual port or appropriate local government |
656 | having jurisdiction thereof, or collectively by interlocal |
657 | agreement among any of the ports, or used to purchase credit |
658 | support to permit such borrowings. However, such debt shall not |
659 | constitute a general obligation of the state. This state does |
660 | hereby covenant with holders of such revenue bonds or other |
661 | instruments of indebtedness issued hereunder that it will not |
662 | repeal or impair or amend this subsection in any manner which |
663 | will materially and adversely affect the rights of holders so |
664 | long as bonds authorized by this subsection are outstanding. Any |
665 | revenues that are not pledged to the repayment of bonds as |
666 | authorized by this section may be utilized for purposes |
667 | authorized under the Florida Seaport Transportation and Economic |
668 | Development Program. This revenue source is in addition to any |
669 | amounts provided for and appropriated in accordance with s. |
670 | 311.07 and subsection (4) (3). The Florida Seaport |
671 | Transportation and Economic Development Council shall approve |
672 | distribution of funds to ports for projects that have been |
673 | approved pursuant to s. 311.09(5)-(9), or for seaport intermodal |
674 | access projects identified in the 5-year Florida Seaport Mission |
675 | Plan as provided in s. 311.09(3) and mutually agreed upon by the |
676 | FSTED Council and the Department of Transportation. All |
677 | contracts for actual construction of projects authorized by this |
678 | subsection must include a provision encouraging employment of |
679 | participants in the welfare transition program. The goal for |
680 | employment of participants in the welfare transition program is |
681 | 25 percent of all new employees employed specifically for the |
682 | project, unless the Department of Transportation and the Florida |
683 | Seaport Transportation and Economic Development Council |
684 | demonstrate that such a requirement would severely hamper the |
685 | successful completion of the project. In such an instance, |
686 | Workforce Florida, Inc., shall establish an appropriate |
687 | percentage of employees that must be participants in the welfare |
688 | transition program. The council and the Department of |
689 | Transportation are authorized to perform such acts as are |
690 | required to facilitate and implement the provisions of this |
691 | subsection. To better enable the ports to cooperate to their |
692 | mutual advantage, the governing body of each port may exercise |
693 | powers provided to municipalities or counties in s. 163.01(7)(d) |
694 | subject to the provisions of chapter 311 and special acts, if |
695 | any, pertaining to a port. The use of funds provided pursuant to |
696 | this subsection is limited to eligible projects listed in this |
697 | subsection. The provisions of s. 311.07(4) do not apply to any |
698 | funds received pursuant to this subsection. The revenues |
699 | available under this subsection shall not be pledged to the |
700 | payment of any bonds other than the Florida Ports Financing |
701 | Commission Series 1996 and Series 1999 Bonds currently |
702 | outstanding; provided, however, such revenues may be pledged to |
703 | secure payment of refunding bonds to refinance the Florida Ports |
704 | Financing Commission Series 1996 and Series 1999 Bonds. No |
705 | refunding bonds secured by revenues available under this |
706 | subsection may be issued with a final maturity later than the |
707 | final maturity of the Florida Ports Financing Commission Series |
708 | 1996 and Series 1999 Bonds or which provide for higher debt |
709 | service in any year than is currently payable on such bonds. Any |
710 | revenue bonds or other indebtedness issued after July 1, 2000, |
711 | other than refunding bonds shall be issued by the Division of |
712 | Bond Finance at the request of the Department of Transportation |
713 | pursuant to the State Bond Act. |
714 | (6)(5)(a) Except as provided in paragraph (c), the |
715 | remainder of such revenues must be deposited in the State |
716 | Transportation Trust Fund. |
717 | (b) The Chief Financial Officer each month shall deposit |
718 | in the State Transportation Trust Fund an amount, drawn from |
719 | other funds in the State Treasury which are not immediately |
720 | needed or are otherwise in excess of the amount necessary to |
721 | meet the requirements of the State Treasury, which when added to |
722 | such remaining revenues each month will equal one-twelfth of the |
723 | amount of the anticipated annual revenues to be deposited in the |
724 | State Transportation Trust Fund under paragraph (a) as |
725 | determined by the Chief Financial Officer after consultation |
726 | with the Revenue Estimating Conference held pursuant to s. |
727 | 216.136(3). The transfers required hereunder may be suspended by |
728 | action of the Legislative Budget Commission in the event of a |
729 | significant shortfall of state revenues. |
730 | (c) In any month in which the remaining revenues derived |
731 | from the registration of motor vehicles exceed one-twelfth of |
732 | those anticipated annual remaining revenues as determined by the |
733 | Chief Financial Officer after consultation with the Revenue |
734 | Estimating Conference, the excess shall be credited to those |
735 | state funds in the State Treasury from which the amount was |
736 | originally drawn, up to the amount which was deposited in the |
737 | State Transportation Trust Fund under paragraph (b). A final |
738 | adjustment must be made in the last months of a fiscal year so |
739 | that the total revenue deposited in the State Transportation |
740 | Trust Fund each year equals the amount derived from the |
741 | registration of motor vehicles, less the amount distributed |
742 | under subsections subsection (1) and (2). For the purposes of |
743 | this paragraph and paragraph (b), the term "remaining revenues" |
744 | means all revenues deposited into the State Transportation Trust |
745 | Fund under paragraph (a) and subsections (2) and (3) and (4). In |
746 | order that interest earnings continue to accrue to the General |
747 | Revenue Fund, the Department of Transportation may not invest an |
748 | amount equal to the cumulative amount of funds deposited in the |
749 | State Transportation Trust Fund under paragraph (b) less funds |
750 | credited under this paragraph as computed on a monthly basis. |
751 | The amounts to be credited under this and the preceding |
752 | paragraph must be calculated and certified to the Chief |
753 | Financial Officer by the Executive Office of the Governor. |
