274 420.56 Disposal of surplus lands for use as affordable
275 housing.—
276 (1) It is intent of the Legislature to make all surplus
277 lands designated as nonconservation available for affordable
278 housing before making the parcels available for purchase by
279 other governmental entities or the public.
280 (2) The Department of Environmental Protection acting on
281 the behalf of the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement
282 Trust Fund, the Department of Transportation, and each water
283 management district shall notify the corporation when
284 nonconservation land becomes available for surplus as part of
285 the entity’s regular review of lands under the provisions of s.
286 253.0341, s. 337.25, or s. 373.089 before making the parcel
287 available for any other use, including for purchase by other
288 governmental entities or the public. Water management districts
289 must only identify nonconservation surplus lands originally
290 acquired using state funds.
291 (3) In consultation with the Department of Environmental
292 Protection, the Department of Transportation, and the water
293 management districts, the corporation must advise within 30 days
294 whether these surplus lands are suitable for affordable housing
295 based on the property’s environmental suitability for
296 construction; current and anticipated land use and zoning;
297 inclusion in one or more special districts meant to revitalize
298 the community; existing infrastructure on the land such as
299 roads, water, sewer, and electricity; access to grocery stores
300 within walking distance or by public transportation; access to
301 employment opportunities within walking distance or by public
302 transportation; access to public transportation within one-half
303 mile; and access to community services such as public libraries,
304 food kitchens, and employment centers.
305 (4) If the corporation determines that the nonconservation
306 surplus land is suitable for affordable housing, the entity
307 seeking to dispose of the parcel must first offer the land to
308 the governmental entities where the land is located or to the
309 public to be used for affordable housing. If the governmental
310 entities where the parcel is located or the public wish to use
311 the parcel for affordable housing, they must notify the entity
312 wishing to surplus the land within 30 days. If no such
313 notification is received, the entity may dispose of the parcel
314 as otherwise provided by law or herein.
315 (5) If the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement
316 Trust Fund, the Department of Transportation, and the water
317 management districts receive a notice from a governmental entity
318 where the parcel is located or the public of their intent to
319 acquire the parcel, they may sell the parcels identified by the
320 corporation for affordable housing for less than the appraised
321 value so long as the agency places an encumbrance on the parcels
322 to ensure the purchaser uses the land for affordable housing for
323 a period of not less than 99 years. If after 10 years the
324 parcels are not developed for affordable housing, the parcels
325 must automatically revert to the selling agency for surplus.
326 (6)(a) The Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement
327 Trust Fund, the Department of Transportation, and the water
328 management districts are exempt from the disposal procedures of
329 ss. 253.0341(8) and (9), 337.25(4) and (7), 373.089(1), (2),
330 (3), and (8) when disposing of nonconservation surplus lands
331 under this section.
332 (b) The sale price of land parcels disposed of pursuant to
333 this section shall be determined by the entity disposing of the
334 parcel. The Department of Transportation, the Board of Trustees
335 of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund, and the water management
336 districts must consider at least one appraisal of the property
337 or, if the estimated value of the land is $500,000 or less, a
338 comparable sales analysis or a broker’s opinion of value.

365 as identified by the Florida Housing Finance Corporation
366 pursuant to s. 420.56. All surplus buildings or land not needed
367 for affordable housing Before a building or parcel of land is
368 offered for lease or sale to a local or federal unit of
369 government or a private party, it shall first be offered for
370 lease to state agencies, state universities, and Florida College
371 System institutions, with priority consideration given to state
372 universities and Florida College System institutions. If the
373 surplus building or land is not used for affordable housing or

375 System institution, then the board of trustees shall offer the
376 building or parcel for lease or sale to a local or federal unit
377 of government or a private party.
378 (b) Within 60 days after the offer for lease of a surplus
379 building or parcel, a state university or Florida College System
380 institution that requests the lease must submit a plan for
381 review and approval by the Board of Trustees of the Internal
382 Improvement Trust Fund regarding the intended use, including
383 future use, of the building or parcel of land before approval of
384 a lease. Within 60 days after the offer for lease of a surplus
385 building or parcel, a state agency that requests the lease of
386 such facility or parcel must submit a plan for review and
387 approval by the board of trustees regarding the intended use.
388 The state agency plan must, at a minimum, include the proposed
389 use of the facility or parcel, the estimated cost of renovation,
390 a capital improvement plan for the building, evidence that the
391 building or parcel meets an existing need that cannot otherwise

395 to determine if the lease or sale is in the best interest of the
396 state. The board of trustees shall adopt rules pursuant to
397 chapter 120 for the implementation of this section.
398 Section 12. Subsection (3) is amended, and subsection (12)

408 owned by the state for 10 or more years, and that is not within
409 a transportation corridor or within the right-of-way of a

411 necessity for retaining the property. If the property is not
412 needed for the construction, operation, and maintenance of a
413 transportation facility or is not located within a
414 transportation corridor, the department may dispose of the
415 property pursuant to subsection (4).

427 title or to which it may hereafter acquire title in the
428 following manner:
429 (1) Beginning on July 1, 2018, the district shall review
430 all lands and interests or rights in lands every 10 years, on a
431 rotating basis, to determine whether the lands are still needed
432 for the purpose for which they were acquired. Any lands, or
433 interests or rights in lands, determined by the governing board
434 to be surplus may be sold by the district, at any time, for the
435 highest price obtainable; however, in no case shall the selling
436 price be less than the appraised value of the lands, or
437 interests or rights in lands, as determined by a certified
438 appraisal obtained within 360 days before the effective date of
439 a contract for sale.

474 (a) At least 65 percent of funds shall be used for
475 homeownership.
476 (b) Up to 15 percent of the funds may be used for
477 administrative expenses to ensure expeditious use of funds.
478 (c) Up to one-quarter of 1 percent may be used by the
479 Florida Housing Finance Corporation for compliance monitoring.
480 (2) Each participating local government shall submit to the
481 Florida Housing Finance Corporation an annual report of its use
482 of funds from the Hurricane Housing Recovery Program. The
483 corporation shall compile the reports and submit them to the
484 President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of
485 Representatives.
486 (3) The Rental Recovery Loan Program is created to provide
487 funds to build additional rental housing due to impacts to the
488 affordable housing stock and changes to the population resulting
489 from hurricanes. The program is intended to allow the state to
490 leverage additional federal rental financing similar to the
491 State Apartment Incentive Loan Program as described in s.
492 420.5087 and is subject to a specific appropriation in the
493 General Appropriations Act.
494 (4) The Florida Housing Finance Corporation may adopt
495 emergency rules pursuant to s. 120.54 to implement this section.
496 The Legislature finds that emergency rules adopted to implement
497 this section meet the health, safety, and welfare requirements
498 of s. 120.54(4). The Legislature finds that such emergency
499 rulemaking is necessary to preserve the rights and welfare of
500 the people and to provide additional funds to assist those areas
501 of the state that sustained impacts to available affordable
502 housing stock due to recent hurricanes. Therefore, in adopting
503 such emergency rules, the corporation is not required to make
504 the findings required by s. 120.54(4)(a). Emergency rules
505 adopted under this section are exempt from s. 120.54(4)(c).
506 Section 15. Section 420.58, Florida Statutes, is created to
507 read:
508 420.58 Prohibition on awarding, distributing, or allocating
509 funds.—The Florida Housing Finance Corporation is prohibited
510 from awarding, distributing, or allocating funds to any
511 applicant, principal of an applicant, or an affiliate of an
512 applicant that has been convicted of, entered into a consent
513 decree, or otherwise settled charges relating to material
514 misrepresentation or fraudulent action in connection with an
515 application for any program administered by the corporation.
