    3         Delete lines 3201 - 3208
    4  and insert:
    5         Section 87. Paragraph (i) of subsection (1) and (b) of
    6  subsection (13) of section 1011.62, Florida Statutes, are
    7  amended to read:
    8         1011.62 Funds for operation of schools.—If the annual
    9  allocation from the Florida Education Finance Program to each
   10  district for operation of schools is not determined in the
   11  annual appropriations act or the substantive bill implementing
   12  the annual appropriations act, it shall be determined as
   13  follows:
   14         (1) COMPUTATION OF THE BASIC AMOUNT TO BE INCLUDED FOR
   15  OPERATION.—The following procedure shall be followed in
   16  determining the annual allocation to each district for
   17  operation:
   18         (i) Calculation of full-time equivalent membership with
   19  respect to dual enrollment instruction.—Students enrolled in
   20  dual enrollment instruction pursuant to s. 1007.271 may be
   21  included in calculations of full-time equivalent student
   22  memberships for basic programs for grades 9 through 12 by a
   23  district school board. Instructional time for dual enrollment
   24  may vary from 900 hours; however, the full-time equivalent
   25  student membership value shall be subject to the provisions in
   26  s. 1011.61(4). Dual enrollment full-time equivalent student
   27  membership shall be calculated in an amount equal to the hours
   28  of instruction that would be necessary to earn the full-time
   29  equivalent student membership for an equivalent course if it
   30  were taught in the school district. Students in dual enrollment
   31  courses may also be calculated as the proportional shares of
   32  full-time equivalent enrollments they generate for a Florida
   33  College System institution or university conducting the dual
   34  enrollment instruction. Early admission students shall be
   35  considered dual enrollments for funding purposes. Students may
   36  be enrolled in dual enrollment instruction provided by an
   37  eligible independent college or university and may be included
   38  in calculations of full-time equivalent student memberships for
   39  basic programs for grades 9 through 12 by a district school
   40  board. However, those provisions of law which exempt dual
   41  enrolled and early admission students from payment of
   42  instructional materials and tuition and fees, including
   43  laboratory fees, shall not apply to students who select the
   44  option of enrolling in an eligible independent institution. An
   45  independent college or university which is located and chartered
   46  in Florida, is not for profit, is accredited by the Commission
   47  on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools
   48  or the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools,
   49  and confers degrees as defined in s. 1005.02 shall be eligible
   50  for inclusion in the dual enrollment or early admission program.
   51  Students enrolled in dual enrollment instruction shall be exempt
   52  from the payment of tuition and fees, including laboratory fees.
   53  A No student enrolled in college credit mathematics or English
   54  dual enrollment instruction may not shall be funded as a dual
   55  enrollment unless the student has successfully completed the
   56  relevant section of the entry-level examination required
   57  pursuant to s. 1008.30.

   65         admission program; deleting an obsolete provision;
