Senate Bill 559

Senate Author:  Duncan

Effective:  6-14-13

House Sponsor:  Pitts et al.


Senate Bill 559 repeals temporary provisions of the Alcoholic Beverage Code and the Tax Code that would have required a one-time prepayment in August 2013 of a portion of certain taxes and fees otherwise due to be remitted in September 2013 in return for a credit in the same amount of the remitted prepayment against the next tax or fee payments due and that temporarily postponed the allocation of certain state money. The repealed provisions otherwise were set to expire September 1, 2015. The bill also repeals a Government Code provision that required the comptroller of public accounts, each August, to estimate the amount from the state lottery account to be transferred to the foundation school fund and set a deadline for that transfer.
