The Division of State Lands operates its land acquisition, land management, and appraisal processes through statute, rule, and internal department guidelines, through delegations from and approvals by the Board of Trustees. Recent changes in statutes, and Board of Trustees' policies and guidelines, which were adopted at lawfully advertised public meetings, have not been adopted by rule. Rule amendments are needed to clarify and implement statutes and policies adopted by the Board for state land appraisal procedures. These rule amendments will implement recommendations of the Auditor General's Office in a June 2005 operational audit. They will improve consistency, adequacy and clarity pertaining to the disposition and management of state land. The changes will also protect the Board of Trustees against loss of revenue related to oil and gas lease terminations.

The purpose of the proposed amendments to Rule 12A-1.096, F.A.C. (Industrial Machinery and Equipment for Use in a New or Expanding Business), is to: (1) incorporate the provisions of Chapter 2006-56, L.O.F., which amends Section 212.08(5)(b), F.S. (Machinery and equipment used to increase productive output); and (2) revise the guidelines consistent with Section 212.08(5)(b), F.S., for the administration of the exemption provided for industrial machinery and equipment used in a new or expanding business.
Chapter 2006-56, L.O.F., deletes the $50,000 tax threshold per calendar year on the purchase of industrial machinery and equipment used to increase productive output by certain industries. All industries will no longer be required to meet the $50,000 tax threshold per calendar year. This law also revises the exemption for machinery and equipment used in mining operations by removing the requirement that the exemption is only available by taking a credit against severance taxes and the requirement that mining operations must show an increase in the creation of new jobs. The proposed amendments remove these requirements from the rule.
The proposed amendments clarify that a “fixed location” is a location or plant site that is used, or intended to be used, on a continuous basis for an extended or indefinite period of time for spaceport activities or for manufacturing, processing, compounding, or producing items of tangible personal property for sale. Examples are added to the definition of the term “physically comparable” for clarity. The term “production process” is clarified to mean that the production process may include quality control activities after the items have been packaged, such as good manufacturing practices as mandated by the Federal Food and Drug Administration to detect adulterated food or food that has been prepared, packaged, or held under insanitary conditions, and to incorporate provisions regarding equipment used for research and development activities and other pre-production activities. The proposed amendments define the terms “purchase,” and “purchase agreement” for purposes of the exemption.
The proposed amendments revise the provisions describing the terms “new business” and “expanding business.” Pursuant to the proposed amendments, businesses that purchase additional machinery and equipment to begin manufacturing component parts for existing lines of products that were previously purchased from vendors will be classified as an “expanding business” and will be required to meet the statutory requirement to increase productive output. For these expanding businesses, that statutory requirement will be met when the first component part is manufactured for existing lines of products as the production of that first component part represents a 100 percent increase in productive output of that component part. In addition, the proposed amendments clarify that the physical productive output measurement must be based on physical production data that is directly relevant to the business and/or product(s) being produced.
The proposed amendments clarify that an application for refund must meet the requirements of Section 213.255(2) and (3), F.S., and Rule 12-26.003, F.A.C., to be considered complete.
The proposed amendments provide additional examples of types of industrial machinery and equipment to clarify whether post-production machinery and equipment used for refrigerated, frozen, or heated storage of finished good inventory qualifies for the exemption. Provisions are added to clarify that conveyors used to transport work-in-process within the production line at the fixed location will qualify for exemption. Additional examples are provided, and obsolete provisions are removed, to clarify whether computers and related equipment will be considered a part of the production process and qualify for exemption. Obsolete provisions regarding agricultural equipment, which became fully exempt under the provisions of Section 212.08(3), F.S., as amended in 2005, are removed. Additional provisions are included to clarify whether office equipment, security systems, motor vehicles, and locomotives or railroad cars will qualify for the exemption.
The purpose of the proposed amendments to Rule 12A-1.097, F.A.C. (Public Use Forms), is to adopt, by reference, changes to Form DR-1214, Application for Temporary Tax Exemption Permit.
