FL S7090

Creates section 166.28, F.S., defining "designated revenues" as abatement fines, administrative fines, property fines, and utility charges owed to municipalities.

Requires municipalities to issue a procurement request to collection agencies within 30 days if delinquent designated revenues meet thresholds of $10 million (90+ days overdue), $5 million (180+ days overdue), or $1 million (270+ days overdue).

Mandates procurement requests specify that collection agencies must offer up-front cash payments to municipalities in addition to contingency fees, and prohibits acceptance of bids based solely on contingency fees.

Exempts municipalities with delinquent revenues below 20 percent of total revenues billed in the previous 12 months from procurement requirements.

Requires municipalities to submit all bids received to the Department of Financial Services, which must retain them for 5 years, and mandates inclusion of delinquent revenue collection efforts in municipal financial audit management letters.
