House Bill 6 abolishes all funds, accounts, and revenue dedications created, re-created, or dedicated by any other act of the 83rd Legislature, Regular Session, except those specifically exempted from abolition under the bill's provisions, and requires revenue that otherwise would be deposited to the credit of a special account or fund to be deposited instead to the credit of the undedicated portion of the general revenue fund unless the fund, account, or dedication is exempt under the bill's provisions. The bill amends the Government Code, effective September 1, 2013, to make dedicated revenues that, at the end of state fiscal year 2015, are estimated to exceed the amounts appropriated by the 83rd Legislature for the specific purposes of their dedication available both for general governmental purposes and for certification purposes and to allow the comptroller of public accounts, as directed by the legislature, to make reductions in dedicated accounts in the amounts by which estimated revenues and unobligated balances exceeded appropriations following certification of all appropriations enacted by the 83rd Legislature.
The bill takes effect June 14, 2013, except as otherwise provided and except for certain other provisions, which take effect on the later of August 31, 2013, or the effective date of the specific act creating, re-creating, dedicating, or rededicating certain of the accounts, revenues, or funds abolished by the bill.
