5 insert:
6 (9) In addition to the maximum millage levied under this
7 section and the General Appropriations Act, a school district
8 may levy, by local referendum or in a general election,
9 additional millage for school operational purposes up to an
10 amount that, when combined with nonvoted millage levied under
11 this section, does not exceed the 10-mill limit established in
12 s. 9(b), Art. VII of the State Constitution. Any such levy must
13 shall be for a maximum of 10 4 years and must shall be counted
14 as part of the 10-mill limit established in s. 9(b), Art. VII of
15 the State Constitution. Millage elections conducted under the
16 authority granted pursuant to this section are subject to s.
17 1011.73. Funds generated by such additional millage do not
18 become a part of the calculation of the Florida Education
19 Finance Program total potential funds and may in 2001-2002 or
20 any subsequent year and must not be incorporated in the
21 calculation of any hold-harmless or other component of the
22 Florida Education Finance Program formula in any year. If an
23 increase in required local effort, when added to existing
24 millage levied under the 10-mill limit, would result in a
25 combined millage in excess of the 10-mill limit, any millage
26 levied pursuant to this subsection must shall be considered to
27 be required local effort to the extent that the district millage
28 would otherwise exceed the 10-mill limit.
29 Section 16. Subsection (2) of section 1011.73, Florida
30 Statutes, is amended to read:
31 1011.73 District millage elections.—
32 (2) MILLAGE AUTHORIZED NOT TO EXCEED 10 4 YEARS.—The
33 district school board, pursuant to resolution adopted at a
34 regular meeting, shall direct the county commissioners to call
35 an election at which the electors within the school district may
36 approve an ad valorem tax millage as authorized under s.
37 1011.71(9). Such election may be held at any time, except that
38 not more than one such election may shall be held during any 12
39 month period. Any millage so authorized must shall be levied for
40 a period not to exceed 10 in excess of 4 years or until changed
41 by another millage election, whichever is earlier. If any such
42 election is invalidated by a court of competent jurisdiction,
43 such invalidated election must shall be considered not to have
44 been held.
