399 334.30 Public-private transportation facilities.—The
400 Legislature finds and declares that there is a public need for
401 the rapid construction of safe and efficient transportation
402 facilities for the purpose of traveling within the state, and
403 that it is in the public’s interest to provide for the
404 construction of additional safe, convenient, and economical
405 transportation facilities.
406 (1) The department may receive or solicit proposals and,
407 with legislative approval as evidenced by approval of the
408 project in the department’s work program, enter into agreements
409 with private entities, or consortia thereof, for the building,
410 operation, ownership, or financing of transportation facilities.
411 The department may advance projects programmed in the adopted 5
412 year work program or projects increasing transportation capacity
413 and greater than $500 million in the 10-year Strategic
414 Intermodal Plan using funds provided by public-private
415 partnerships or private entities to be reimbursed from
416 department funds for the project as programmed in the adopted
417 work program. The department shall by rule establish an
418 application fee for the submission of unsolicited proposals
419 under this section. The fee must be sufficient to pay the costs
420 of evaluating the proposals. The department may engage the
421 services of private consultants to assist in the evaluation.
422 Before approval, the department must determine that the proposed
423 project:
424 (a) Is in the public’s best interest;
425 (b) Would not require state funds to be used unless the
426 project is on the State Highway System;
427 (c) Would have adequate safeguards in place to ensure that
428 no additional costs or service disruptions would be realized by
429 the traveling public and residents of the state in the event of
430 default or cancellation of the agreement by the department;
431 (d) Would have adequate safeguards in place to ensure that
432 the department or the private entity has the opportunity to add
433 capacity to the proposed project and other transportation
434 facilities serving similar origins and destinations; and
435 (e) Would be owned by the department upon completion or
436 termination of the agreement.
437
438 The department shall ensure that all reasonable costs to the
439 state, related to transportation facilities that are not part of
440 the State Highway System, are borne by the private entity. The
441 department shall also ensure that all reasonable costs to the
442 state and substantially affected local governments and
443 utilities, related to the private transportation facility, are
444 borne by the private entity for transportation facilities that
445 are owned by private entities. For projects on the State Highway
446 System, the department may use state resources to participate in
447 funding and financing the project as provided for under the
448 department’s enabling legislation. Because the Legislature
449 recognizes that private entities or consortia thereof would
450 perform a governmental or public purpose or function when they
451 enter into agreements with the department to design, build,
452 operate, own, or finance transportation facilities, the
453 transportation facilities, including leasehold interests
454 thereof, are exempt from ad valorem taxes as provided in chapter
455 196 to the extent property is owned by the state or other
456 government entity, and from intangible taxes as provided in
457 chapter 199 and special assessments of the state, any city,
458 town, county, special district, political subdivision of the
459 state, or any other governmental entity. The private entities or
460 consortia thereof are exempt from tax imposed by chapter 201 on
461 all documents or obligations to pay money which arise out of the
462 agreements to design, build, operate, own, lease, or finance
463 transportation facilities. Any private entities or consortia
464 thereof must pay any applicable corporate taxes as provided in
465 chapter chapters 220 and 221, and unemployment compensation
466 taxes as provided in chapter 443, and sales and use tax as
467 provided in chapter 212 shall be applicable. The private
468 entities or consortia thereof must also register and collect the
469 tax imposed by chapter 212 on all their direct sales and leases
470 that are subject to tax under chapter 212. The agreement between
471 the private entity or consortia thereof and the department
472 establishing a transportation facility under this chapter
473 constitutes documentation sufficient to claim any exemption
474 under this section.
475 Section 24. Effective January 1, 2012, subsection (4),
476 paragraph (a) of subsection (6), and subsection (7) of section
477 624.509, Florida Statutes, are amended to read:
478 624.509 Premium tax; rate and computation.—
479 (4) The income tax imposed under chapter 220 and the
480 emergency excise tax imposed under chapter 221 which is are paid
481 by any insurer shall be credited against, and to the extent
482 thereof shall discharge, the liability for tax imposed by this
483 section for the annual period in which such tax payments are
484 made. As to any insurer issuing policies insuring against loss
485 or damage from the risks of fire, tornado, and certain casualty
486 lines, the tax imposed by this section, as intended and
487 contemplated by this subsection, shall be construed to mean the
488 net amount of such tax remaining after there has been credited
489 thereon such gross premium receipts tax as may be payable by
490 such insurer in pursuance of the imposition of such tax by any
491 incorporated cities or towns in the state for firefighters’
492 relief and pension funds and police officers’ retirement funds
493 maintained in such cities or towns, as provided in and by
494 relevant provisions of the Florida Statutes. For purposes of
495 this subsection, payments of estimated income tax under chapter
496 220 and of estimated emergency excise tax under chapter 221
497 shall be deemed paid either at the time the insurer actually
498 files its annual returns under chapter 220 or at the time such
499 returns are required to be filed, whichever first occurs, and
500 not at such earlier time as such payments of estimated tax are
501 actually made.
502 (6)(a) The total of the credit granted for the taxes paid
503 by the insurer under chapter chapters 220 and 221 and the credit
504 granted by subsection (5) may shall not exceed 65 percent of the
505 tax due under subsection (1) after deducting therefrom the taxes
506 paid by the insurer under ss. 175.101 and 185.08 and any
507 assessments pursuant to s. 440.51.
508 (7) Credits and deductions against the tax imposed by this
509 section shall be taken in the following order: deductions for
510 assessments made pursuant to s. 440.51; credits for taxes paid
511 under ss. 175.101 and 185.08; credits for income taxes paid
512 under chapter 220, the emergency excise tax paid under chapter
513 221 and the credit allowed under subsection (5), as these
514 credits are limited by subsection (6); all other available
515 credits and deductions.
516 Section 25. Effective January 1, 2012, subsection (1) of
517 section 624.51055, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:
518 624.51055 Credit for contributions to eligible nonprofit
519 scholarship-funding organizations.—
520 (1) There is allowed a credit of 100 percent of an eligible
521 contribution made to an eligible nonprofit scholarship-funding
522 organization under s. 1002.395 against any tax due for a taxable
523 year under s. 624.509(1). However, such a credit may not exceed
524 75 percent of the tax due under s. 624.509(1) after deducting
525 from such tax deductions for assessments made pursuant to s.
526 440.51; credits for taxes paid under ss. 175.101 and 185.08;
527 credits for income taxes paid under chapter 220; credits for the
528 emergency excise tax paid under chapter 221; and the credit
529 allowed under s. 624.509(5), as such credit is limited by s.
530 624.509(6). An insurer claiming a credit against premium tax
531 liability under this section shall not be required to pay any
532 additional retaliatory tax levied pursuant to s. 624.5091 as a
533 result of claiming such credit. Section 624.5091 does not limit
534 such credit in any manner.
535 Section 26. (1) The executive director of the Department of
536 Revenue is authorized, and all conditions are deemed met, to
537 adopt emergency rules under ss. 120.536(1) and 120.54(4),
538 Florida Statutes, for the purpose of implementing this act.
539 (2) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, such emergency
540 rules shall remain in effect for 6 months after the date adopted
541 and may be renewed during the pendency of procedures to adopt
542 permanent rules addressing the subject of the emergency rules.
