Purpose


Section 213.13, F.S., requires the Department of Revenue and the Florida Association of Court Clerks to jointly develop an electronic system to remit taxes, fees, fines, reimbursements, court costs, or other court-related funds to the Department for distribution to designated state funds. That system was developed in 2001 and has been in operation since that date. Improvements have been made to the procedures employed to use the electronic remittance system that simplify the use of the system. The purpose of the proposed amendments to Rule Chapter 12-28, F.A.C. (Clerks of the Court Remittance Requirements), is to update the procedures to reflect the improvements to the Clerk of the Court Revenue Remittance System.
