   14         193.076 Chronic nuisance service assessments.—A local
   15  government, as defined in s. 197.3632(1)(b), may levy non-ad

   22  assessments pursuant to the uniform method provided in s.
   23  197.3632 or by an alternative method provided by law.
   24         Section 2. This act shall take effect July 1, 2012.
