Mayfield Minute - May 23, 2021

Good Morning!

This past week, the Florida Legislature reconvened for a Special Session on gaming. This is in response to Governor DeSantis and the Seminole Tribe of Florida executing the historic new 30-year Gaming Compact that restored the State's relationship with the Tribe. 

In addition, Senate President Wilton Simpson lead the Senate in a declaration of support for Israel. Israel is a role model of democracy in the Middle East, and it is our moral duty to support this nation.

The Florida Senate Ratifies Historical Gaming Compact 

The Florida Senate passed Senate Bill 2-A, Implementation of the 2021 Gaming Compact between the Seminole Tribe of Florida and the State of Florida. The legislation ratifies the 2021 Gaming Compact executed by the Seminole Tribe of Florida and Governor DeSantis on behalf of the State of Florida on April 23, 2021, as amended on May 17, 2021.

“By comprehensively addressing issues raised for almost a decade, this historic legislation restores Florida’s relationship with the Seminole Tribe, offers new opportunities for Florida’s legacy pari-mutuel industry, and provides substantial new revenues for our state,” said Senate President Wilton Simpson (R-Trilby), who has been working to negotiate a new compact with the Seminole Tribe for the last several years. “After years of negotiations and the hard work of many people on both sides, I’m pleased to see this significant legislation pass the Senate today.”

The 2021 Compact creates a new revenue-sharing agreement with a $2.5 billion guarantee in the first five years. The Compact authorizes craps and roulette games at Seminole properties, additional facilities on the Tribe’s Hollywood Reservation, and statewide online sports betting in partnership with existing pari-mutuels.

SB 2-A takes effect only if the Compact is approved, or deemed approved and not voided, by the United States Department of the Interior, and takes effect on the date that notice of the effective date of the compact is published in the Federal Register.

The Senate also passed SB 4-A, Gaming Enforcement, which establishes additional enforcement measures to address violations of gambling laws and the conduct of unauthorized gaming in the state, including the creation of an independent five-member Gaming Control Commission. The bill also grants additional investigatory and prosecutorial authority to the Office of Statewide Prosecution in the Department of Legal Affairs.

SB 8-A, Gaming, updates Florida law for authorized gaming in the state, including live racing and games, slot machine gaming, and the operation of cardrooms. Specifically the bill decouples greyhound, jai alai, harness, and quarter horse racing; eliminates dormant pari-mutuel permits; and prohibits the issuance of new pari-mutuel permits.

2021 Session Highlights

Providing Tax Relief to Floridians

This year, the Florida Legislature’s tax package includes $196.3 million in broad-based tax relief for Floridians. Over the last decade, the Florida Legislature’s conservative leadership has created one of the most tax-friendly environments in the nation through fiscally sound policies and targeted tax reductions. This year, the Florida Senate has continued this work, ensuring that Florida maintains its superior financial standing.

*    Evens the playing field between out-of-state retailers and Florida’s small businesses by creating a new revenue stream to pay unemployment claims, shield employers from unexpected tax increases, and reduce business rent taxes.

*    Requires marketplace providers and out-of-state retailers without a physical presence in Florida to electronically collect and remit Florida sales tax on taxable items delivered to purchasers in Florida.

*    Only applies to out-of-state marketplace providers or out-of-state businesses whose annual sales in Florida exceed $100,000; and allows marketplaces that have annual U.S. gross sales of more than $1 billion to have a qualified marketplace seller collect and remit sales tax on the marketplace.

*    Requires that a marketplace provider, at the time of sale, must collect and remit the prepaid wireless E911 fee, the waste tire fee, and the lead-acid battery fee, on applicable sales.

*    States that businesses affected by this act will not be liable to remit taxes retroactively, however this relief does not apply to someone who has been assessed, is under audit, has received a bill, or is in court over taxes already owed.

*    Requires all revenues received from the remote sales tax under this bill to be deposited into the Unemployment Compensation Trust Fund until the balance in the trust fund reaches $4.07 billion.

*    After the distributions to the Unemployment Compensation Trust Fund are completed, additional funds collected from out-of-state retailers will go toward reducing Florida’s business rent tax rate from the current 5.5% to 2%.

*    Disables the mechanism that raises Reemployment Tax rates if the Unemployment Compensation Trust Fund balance falls below a certain limit.

*    Requires that the COVID-19 related reemployment assistance benefits paid are not taken into account when recalculating Reemployment Assistance Tax rates.

*    Reconfigures the distribution of documentary stamp tax dollars currently allocated for the Sadowski Trust Fund to include the Resilient Florida Trust Fund and the Water Protection and Sustainability Program Trust Fund, and prevents Sadowski Trust Fund dollars from being “swept” into general revenue.

*    The bill directs:

*    One-quarter of the dollars currently directed to the Sadowski fund to be transferred to the newly created Resilient Florida Trust Fund to cover the costs of planning for and addressing threats from flooding and sea level rise.

*    Adds predictability in the marketplace and saves Floridians from frivolous tax increases by limiting local impact fee increases, which are imposed by counties, municipalities, and some special districts to fund additional public infrastructure needed to meet the demands of population growth caused by development.

*    Limits increases in impact fees as follows:

*    An increase to a current impact fee rate of not more than 25 percent of the current rate must be implemented over two equal annual increments beginning on the date the increased fee is adopted.

*    If the increase is between 25 and 50 percent of the current rate, the increase must be implemented in four equal installments.

*    No impact fee increase may exceed 50 percent of the current impact fee rate.

*    An impact fee may not be increased more than once every four years.

*    Provides an exception to these limits if the local government, school district, or special district demonstrates, through a study, a critical need to exceed these limits.

*    Revises impact fee credits to require any contributions made for specific infrastructure or public facility improvements to be applied on a dollar-for-dollar basis at fair market value to reduce impact fees collected for the same category.
