Purpose:    Section 200.065(2)(f), F.S., as amended by section 1, Chapter 2024-159, L.O.F., authorizes a school district to publish its intent to adopt a tentative budget on a publicly accessible website, including a district school board's official website, that meets the requirements of section 50.0311, F.S. The purpose of the draft amendments to Rules 12D-17.002, 12D-17.003, and 12D-17.004, F.A.C., is to incorporate this law change. The proposed amendment to 12D-17.002, F.A.C., includes publication of required advertisements on a publicly accessible website as provided in section 200.065(2)(f), F.S., in the definition of "proof of publication." The draft amendments to Rules 12D-17.003 and 12D-17.004, F.A.C., add the option for a district school board to advertise its intent to adopt a tentative budget on a publicly accessible website and clarify the option for advertising in a newspaper of general circulation.
