            House Bill 1261 amends the Government Code to require the comptroller of public accounts, if actual data is not available when preparing the comptroller's report on the effect of certain tax provisions, to use available statistical data to estimate the effect of an exemption, discount, exclusion, special valuation, special accounting treatment, special rate, or special method of reporting relating to a tax. If the report states that the effect of a particular tax preference cannot be determined, the comptroller must include a complete explanation of why that conclusion was reached.
