FL H0819

Amends Chapter 185, Florida Statutes, to clarify that the municipal police officers' retirement trust fund provisions apply only to incorporated municipalities and not to unincorporated county areas or entities whose officers participate in the Florida Retirement System.

Extends eligibility for premium tax distribution under Chapter 185 to single consolidated governments created by merger of a former county and one or more municipalities under the Florida Constitution.

Requires consolidated governments to notify the Division when entering into interlocal agreements to provide police services to municipalities within their boundaries, and allows the municipality to enact an ordinance levying the casualty insurance premium tax.

Authorizes the Division to distribute premium taxes reported for a municipality to the consolidated government as long as the interlocal police services agreement remains in effect, contingent on receiving copies of both the agreement and the municipal ordinance.

Takes effect July 1, 2012.
