House Bill 6 abolishes all funds and accounts created or re-created and all dedications or rededications of revenue collected by a state agency for a particular purpose by an act of the 84th Legislature, Regular Session, except those specifically exempted from abolition under the bill's provisions, and creates and re-creates certain accounts and funds. The bill requires revenue that otherwise would be deposited to the credit of a special account or fund to instead be deposited to the credit of the undedicated portion of the general revenue fund unless the fund, account, or dedication is exempted under the bill's provisions.
House Bill 6 amends the Government Code and the Transportation Code, effective September 1, 2015, to allow the comptroller of public accounts 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 84nd Legislature, to make certain dedicated revenues unavailable for general governmental and certification purposes, and to provide for the dedication of a portion of an additional fee imposed on certain persons and collected at the time of application or renewal for registration of a motor vehicle to the TexasSure Fund.
The bill takes effect on June 19, 2015, except as otherwise provided and except for certain other provisions, which take effect on the later of August 31, 2015, 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.
