256      the corporation may issue, in accordance with s. 420.509,

277      funds in the annual debt service reserve. The corporation shall,
278      before June 1 of each year, perform a financial audit to
279      determine whether at the end of the state fiscal year there will
280      be on deposit in the guarantee fund an annual debt service
281      reserve from interest earned pursuant to the investment of the
282      guarantee fund, fees, charges, and reimbursements received from
283      issued affordable housing guarantees and other revenue sources
284      available to the corporation. Based upon the findings in such

286      the Chief Financial Officer the amount of any projected
287      deficiency in the annual debt service reserve for any series of
288      outstanding bonds as of the end of the state fiscal year and the
289      amount necessary to maintain such annual debt service reserve.

351      disbursed on a quarterly or more frequent basis by the
352      corporation pursuant to s. 420.9072, subject to availability of
353      funds. Each county's share of the funds to be distributed from
354      the portion of the funds in the Local Government Housing Trust
355      Fund received pursuant to s. 201.15(4)(c) s. 201.15(4)(d) shall
356      be calculated by the corporation for each fiscal year as
357      follows:
358               (a)      Each county shall receive the guaranteed amount for
359      each fiscal year.
360               (b)      Each county may receive an additional share calculated
361      as follows:
362               1.      Multiply each county's percentage of the total state
363      population, by the total funds to be distributed.
364               2.      If the result in subparagraph 1. is less than the
365      guaranteed amount as determined in subsection (3), that county's
366      additional share shall be zero.
367               3.      For each county in which the result in subparagraph 1.
368      is greater than the guaranteed amount, the amount calculated in
369      subparagraph 1. shall be reduced by the guaranteed amount. The
370      result for each such county shall be expressed as a percentage
371      of the amounts so determined for all counties. Each such county
372      shall receive an additional share equal to this percentage
373      multiplied by the total funds received by the Local Government
374      Housing Trust Fund pursuant to s. 201.15(4)(c) s. 201.15(4)(d)
375      as reduced by the guaranteed amount paid to all counties.

377               (a)     The guaranteed amount under subsection (1) shall be
378      calculated for each state fiscal year by multiplying $350,000 by
379      a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of funds
380      distributed to the Local Government Housing Trust Fund pursuant
381      to s. 201.15(4)(b) s. 201.15(4)(c) and the denominator of which
382      is the total amount of funds distributed to the Local Government
383      Housing Trust Fund pursuant to s. 201.15.
384               (b)     The guaranteed amount under subsection (2) shall be
385      calculated for each state fiscal year by multiplying $350,000 by
386      a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of funds
387      distributed to the Local Government Housing Trust Fund pursuant
388      to s. 201.15(4)(c) s. 201.15(4)(d) and the denominator of which
389      is the total amount of funds distributed to the Local Government
390      Housing Trust Fund pursuant to s. 201.15.
391               Section 12.          This act shall take effect July 1, 2025.
