9 department; operational expense; refund of taxes adjudicated
10 unconstitutionally collected.—
11 (6) Distribution of all proceeds under this chapter and ss.
12 202.18(1)(b) and (2)(b) and 203.01(1)(a)3. is as follows:
13 (d) The proceeds of all other taxes and fees imposed
14 pursuant to this chapter or remitted pursuant to s. 202.18(1)(b)
15 and (2)(b) shall be distributed as follows:
16 1. In any fiscal year, the greater of $500 million, minus
17 an amount equal to 4.6 percent of the proceeds of the taxes
18 collected pursuant to chapter 201, or 5.2 percent of all other
19 taxes and fees imposed pursuant to this chapter or remitted
20 pursuant to s. 202.18(1)(b) and (2)(b) shall be deposited in
21 monthly installments into the General Revenue Fund.
22 2. After the distribution under subparagraph 1., 8.9744
23 percent of the amount remitted by a sales tax dealer located
24 within a participating county pursuant to s. 218.61 shall be
25 transferred into the Local Government Half-cent Sales Tax
26 Clearing Trust Fund. Beginning July 1, 2003, the amount to be
27 transferred shall be reduced by 0.1 percent, and the department
28 shall distribute this amount to the Public Employees Relations
29 Commission Trust Fund less $5,000 each month, which shall be
30 added to the amount calculated in subparagraph 3. and
31 distributed accordingly.
32 3. After the distribution under subparagraphs 1. and 2.,
33 0.0966 percent shall be transferred to the Local Government
34 Half-cent Sales Tax Clearing Trust Fund and distributed pursuant
35 to s. 218.65.
36 4. After the distributions under subparagraphs 1., 2., and
37 3., 2.0810 percent of the available proceeds shall be
38 transferred monthly to the Revenue Sharing Trust Fund for
39 Counties pursuant to s. 218.215.
40 5. After the distributions under subparagraphs 1., 2., and
41 3., 1.3653 percent of the available proceeds shall be
42 transferred monthly to the Revenue Sharing Trust Fund for
43 Municipalities pursuant to s. 218.215. If the total revenue to
44 be distributed pursuant to this subparagraph is at least as
45 great as the amount due from the Revenue Sharing Trust Fund for
46 Municipalities and the former Municipal Financial Assistance
47 Trust Fund in state fiscal year 1999-2000, no municipality shall
48 receive less than the amount due from the Revenue Sharing Trust
49 Fund for Municipalities and the former Municipal Financial
50 Assistance Trust Fund in state fiscal year 1999-2000. If the
51 total proceeds to be distributed are less than the amount
52 received in combination from the Revenue Sharing Trust Fund for
53 Municipalities and the former Municipal Financial Assistance
54 Trust Fund in state fiscal year 1999-2000, each municipality
55 shall receive an amount proportionate to the amount it was due
56 in state fiscal year 1999-2000.
57 6. Of the remaining proceeds:
58 a. In each fiscal year, the sum of $29,915,500 shall be
59 divided into as many equal parts as there are counties in the
60 state, and one part shall be distributed to each county. The
61 distribution among the several counties must begin each fiscal
62 year on or before January 5th and continue monthly for a total
63 of 4 months. If a local or special law required that any moneys
64 accruing to a county in fiscal year 1999-2000 under the then
65 existing provisions of s. 550.135 be paid directly to the
66 district school board, special district, or a municipal
67 government, such payment must continue until the local or
68 special law is amended or repealed. The state covenants with
69 holders of bonds or other instruments of indebtedness issued by
70 local governments, special districts, or district school boards
71 before July 1, 2000, that it is not the intent of this
72 subparagraph to adversely affect the rights of those holders or
73 relieve local governments, special districts, or district school
74 boards of the duty to meet their obligations as a result of
75 previous pledges or assignments or trusts entered into which
76 obligated funds received from the distribution to county
77 governments under then-existing s. 550.135. This distribution
78 specifically is in lieu of funds distributed under s. 550.135
79 before July 1, 2000.
