VIII, provided: (4) A charter drawn up by a commission established under this division shall provide: A. This section, originally designated section 18 by S.J.R. 15-E of 1980, was renamed section 19 by the drafters to avoid confusion with section 18 of S.J.R. 6-E (1980). (c) creditors of a consolidated or dissolved public entity in accordance with this Section are protected; Obligations or other debts existing on the effective date of a government constituted hereunder shall be enforceable only in respect of real and personal property taxable for such purposes. (6) Nothing in this section shall be construed as limiting or limiting the power of the legislature to pass general laws relating to Dade County and one or more other counties of the State of Florida, or to any municipality in Dade County and one or more municipalities in the State of Florida relating to county or municipal matters: and all such general laws shall apply to Dade County and to all municipalities to the same extent as if this section had not been enacted, and such general laws shall supersede any part or part of the Charter of Self-Government herein contrary thereto and shall replace all provisions of any ordinance promulgated under and contrary to this Charter; and replace all provisions of a charter of a community in Dade County that conflict with it. Debt securities issued under this subsection (a)(2) shall be payable primarily out of such gross receipts and shall further be guaranteed by the full confidence and solvency of the State. Such bonds shall never be issued in an amount exceeding ninety per cent of the amount determined by the Council of State as to be insured by the proceeds of gross taxes subsequently levied under the provisions of this subsection (a)(2), and this provision is exhaustive. The Capital Expenditure Fund shall be administered by the State Board of Education as established and constituted by Section IX of the Florida Constitution, as amended in 1968 (hereinafter referred to as the “Board of State”), or by such other body of the State as may subsequently assume by law the powers, duties and functions of the State Council.
including the powers, duties and functions of the State Commission provided for in this subsection (a)(2). The Council of State is a corporation and shall have all the powers provided for in this article in addition to all other constitutional and statutory powers relating to the purposes of this subsection (a)(2) conferred by law on the Council of State or its predecessor established by the Constitution of 1885, as amended. (i) Nothing in this section shall be construed as limiting disclosures and prohibitions that may be established by law to maintain public confidence and avoid conflicts between public functions and private interests. The land acquisition trust fund established by the Legislative Assembly in 1963 for these various public purposes will be continued for a period of fifty years from the date of passage of this amendment.
