Summary

The bill changes how revenue from the documentary stamp tax is allocated, first pledging it to pay bond obligations and then directing a capped share to the State Transportation Trust Fund for specific transportation programs. It also bars the use of certain earmarked funds for the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority. The intent is to keep money dedicated to statewide transit projects and improve oversight of how the tax revenue is spent.
