Bill Summary

Requires Legislature to appropriate moneys, beginning in specified fiscal year, to offset reductions in ad valorem tax revenue experienced by rural communities within rural area of opportunity which result from specified additional exemption; specifies how moneys are to be distributed; specifies mechanism for reversion of funds in specified situations.

AI Summary

This bill amends Florida Statute 218.125 to require the legislature to appropriate monies, starting in the 2019-2020 fiscal year, to offset reductions in ad valorem (property) tax revenue experienced by fiscally constrained counties and rural communities within designated rural areas of opportunity. These reductions are a direct result of the implementation of a constitutional amendment approved in November 2018 that authorizes an additional $25,000 homestead exemption for all levies except school district levies. The bill specifies how the monies are to be distributed and provides a mechanism for the reversion of funds in certain situations.
