SECTION 6 ADMINISTRATION OF TAX The Department of Revenue shall administer, collect, and enforce the tax authorized under this Ordinance pursuant to the same procedures used in the administration, collection and enforcement of the tax otherwise imposed under the provisions of Chapter 212. The provisions of Florida Statutes, Chapter 212, regarding interest and penalties on delinquent taxes shall apply to the tax authorized by this Ordinance. For the purpose of this Ordinance, the "proceeds" of the tax authorized in this Ordinance shall be construed to mean all funds collected and received by the Department of Revenue pursuant to this Ordinance, including any interest and penalties on delinquent taxes. Notwithstanding the provisions of F. S. 212.20, the proceeds of the additional, discretionary one -percent tax levied under this Ordinance, less the cost of administration, shall be transferred to a "Criminal Justice Facilities Tax Trust Fund," which fund is hereby created in the State Treasury for distribution as herein provided to the county in which the tax was collected. However, the amount deducted for the cost of administration shall not exceed a total of $1.5 million for all counties levying the tax authorized in this Ordinance. The amount deducted for the costs of administration shall be used only for those costs which are solely and directly attributable to the tax authorized in this Ordinance. Prior to January 1, 1985, each county governing authority levying the tax authorized by this Ordinance shall certify to the Department of Revenue that it has entered into a contract for the purposes enumerated in subsection (3), and shall include therewith a schedule of disbursements required to satisfy such contract. The Department of Revenue shall disburse such funds in accordance with such schedule but not more frequently than monthly. Any funds on deposit in the trust fund created pursuant to this Section shall be invested pursuant to general law. -5-
