No more than $10 billion of bonds may be outstanding to fund approved turnpike projects.(2) The department may use turnpike revenues, the State Transportation Trust Fund moneys allocated for turnpike projects pursuant to s. 339.65, federal funds, and bond proceeds, and shall use the most cost-efficient combination of such funds, in developing a financial plan for funding turnpike projects. The department must submit a report of the estimated cost for each ongoing turnpike project and for each planned project to the Legislature 14 days before the convening of the regular legislative session. Verification of economic feasibility and statements of environmental feasibility for individual turnpike projects must be based on the entire project as approved.

All required environmental permits must be obtained before the department may advertise for bids for contracts for the construction of any turnpike project.(3) Bonds may not be issued to fund a turnpike project until the department has made a final determination that the project is economically feasible in accordance with s. 338.221, based on the most current information available.History.—s. 12, ch. 90-136; s. 129, ch. 92-152; s. 68, ch. 93-164; ss. 5, 79, ch. 94-237; s. 46, ch. 95-257; s. 20, ch. 97-280; s. 56, ch. 2000-152; s. 3, ch. 2003-409; s. 6, ch. 2007-66; s. 36, ch. 2007-196; s. 48, ch. 2012-174.

If funding is insufficient to construct part C, it is the intent of the Legislature that such project be given priority as a project financed from subsequent issuances of turnpike revenue bonds approved by the Legislature; however, such priority consideration is contingent on the project’s meeting all economic feasibility requirements and upon the project’s being financed without the use of capitalized interest.History.—s. 13, ch. 90-136; s. 47, ch. 95-257; s. 21, ch. 97-280.

Except as provided in ss. 338.223, 338.2275, and 339.65, state funds may not be used on any turnpike project or to pay the principal or interest of any bonds issued to finance or refinance any portion of the turnpike system, and all such bonds shall contain a statement on their face to this effect.History.—s. 13, ch. 28128, 1953; s. 194, ch. 84-309; s. 7, ch. 88-286; s. 15, ch. 90-136; s. 129, ch. 99-13; s. 94, ch. 99-385; s. 49, ch. 2012-174.Note.—Former s. 340.13.
