Bill > S0750

This bill transfers the responsibility for administering a program that funds dredging projects in certain Florida counties from the Florida Seaport Transportation and Economic Development Council to the Department of Transportation, which is the state agency overseeing transportation infrastructure. The bill also specifies that the Department of Transportation will adopt rules for evaluating these projects based on economic benefits and will establish an administrative review process similar to one outlined in another section of Florida law. Additionally, the bill includes a provision for the future repeal of this section, meaning it will automatically expire on July 1, 2018, unless extended by future legislation, and it takes effect on July 1, 2013.
