Bill Summary
An act relating to fees; creating s. 288.1035, F.S.; requiring the Department of Commerce to assess and collect a specified annual fee sufficient to fund the costs of administering the voluntary Florida Manufacturing Promotional Campaign; requiring that such fees be deposited into the Economic Development Trust Fund for a specified purpose; providing a contingent effective date.
AI Summary
This bill creates a new section of Florida law that allows the Department of Commerce to charge an annual registration fee of up to $100 per registrant to support the voluntary Florida Manufacturing Promotional Campaign. The fees collected will be deposited into the Economic Development Trust Fund and can only be used to administer the campaign. The bill's effectiveness is contingent upon the passage of related legislation (HB 561), meaning it will only take effect if that bill is also adopted in the same legislative session. By establishing this fee mechanism, the bill aims to provide a dedicated funding source for promoting Florida's manufacturing sector, ensuring that the costs of running the promotional campaign are covered by those participating in the program.
