Summary
Emergency Rule 12DER09-03, (Forms for Use in the Truth in Millage and Maximum Millage Calculations Required by Section 200.065, Florida Statutes, and Chapter 2008-173 (Senate Bill 1588), Laws of Florida), provides assistance regarding certain actions to be taken by local governments and officials. This rule adopts and incorporates by reference certain millage levy calculation forms to be used by each county, municipality, independent special district and their related dependent special districts, municipal service taxing units, and each local taxing authority. These forms are necessary to fully implement the requirements of section 200.065(5), F.S., as created by Chapter 2008-173 L.O.F (Senate Bill 1588). Emergency Rule 12DER09-03 replaces both Emergency Rules 12DER08-18 and 12DER08-27. Former Emergency Rule 12DER08-18 included Forms DR-420, DR-420TIF, DR-420VMA and DR-420MM-P. Former Emergency Rule 12DER08-27 included Forms DR-420MM, DR-420S, DR-422, DR-428A, DR-487 and DR-487V. New Forms DR-420DEBT and DR-422DEBT were created based on section 200.065, F.S., and will be used in place of Form DR-420VMA. Form DR-420VMA is replaced by Form DR-420DEBT, adopted in this rule. New Form DR-428B replaces Form DR-428A from Emergency Rule 12DER08-27. Forms DR-420, DR-420MM, DR-420MM-P, DR-420S, DR-420TIF, DR-422, DR-487, and DR-487V have been revised in this rule.
