    6         Section 1. Paragraph (b) of subsection (1) of section
    7  206.9825, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:
    8         206.9825 Aviation fuel tax.—
    9         (1)
   10         (b) Any licensed wholesaler or terminal supplier that
   11  delivers aviation fuel to an air carrier offering
   12  transcontinental jet service and that, after January 1, 1996,
   13  increases the air carrier’s Florida workforce by more than 1000
   14  percent and by 250 or more full-time equivalent employee
   15  positions, may receive a credit or refund as the ultimate vendor
   16  of the aviation fuel for the 6.9 cents excise tax previously
   17  paid, provided that the air carrier has no facility for fueling
   18  highway vehicles from the tank in which the aviation fuel is
   19  stored. In calculating the new or additional Florida full-time
   20  equivalent employee positions, any full-time equivalent employee
   21  positions of parent or subsidiary corporations which existed
   22  before January 1, 1996, shall not be counted toward reaching the
   23  Florida employment increase thresholds. The refund allowed under
   24  this paragraph is in furtherance of the goals and policies of
   25  the State Comprehensive Plan set forth in s. 187.201(16)(a),
