The section does not expressly exclude the prepaid wireless E911 fee from the compensation provisions of s. 213.30, F.A.C. Accordingly, individuals reporting violations of the prepaid wireless E911 fee should also be eligible for compensation under s. 213.30, F.S.

-
Section 212.0606, F.S., previously imposed a $2 per day surcharge on each lease or rental of a motor vehicle. Section 1, Chapter 2014-199, amended that statute to reduce the rate imposed on the use of a motor vehicle as part of a car-sharing service to $1 per usage. The purpose of the proposed amendments to Rule 12A-16.002, F.A.C. (Imposition and Payment of the Surcharge), is to provide guidance relating to the reduced $1 per usage surcharge imposed on motor vehicles used through car-sharing service memberships.
The purpose of the proposed amendments to Rule 12A-16.006, F.A.C. (Surcharge Returns and Filing Requirements) is to clarify when the rental car surcharge is due to the state and how the rental car surcharge is to be reported per county, based on the amendment made to Section 212.0606, F.S., by Section 1, Chapter 2014-199.
The purpose of the proposed amendments to Rule 12A-16.008, F.A.C. (Public Use Forms) is to incorporate by reference the amendments to the forms used to report any rental car surcharge due to the state.

F.A.C., is to address public comments requesting that the Department modify the requirements for a return to be considered timely filed. These amendments remove the requirement to receive a confirmation from the Department before a return is determined to be timely filed and provide that a return will be timely filed if it is received by the Department or its agent on or before the due date. Additional amendments to Rule 12B-5.150, F.A.C. (Public Use Forms), are proposed to adopt, by reference, changes to a form used by the Department in the administration of taxes imposed on fuels and pollutants.
