1-22 A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

1-24 relating to reimbursement of the general revenue fund from the

1-26 BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
1-27 SECTION 1. Section 3.09(b), Texas Racing Act (Article 179e,
1-28 Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes), is amended to read as follows:
1-29 (b) The commission shall deposit the money it collects under
1-30 this Act in the State Treasury to the credit of a special fund to
1-31 be known as the Texas Racing Commission fund. The Texas Racing
1-32 Commission fund may be appropriated only for the administration and
1-33 enforcement of this Act. Any unappropriated money remaining in
1-34 that special fund at the close of each fiscal biennium shall be
1-35 transferred to the General Revenue Fund and may be appropriated for
1-36 any legal purpose. The legislature may also appropriate money from
1-37 the General Revenue Fund for the administration and enforcement of
1-38 this Act. Any amount of general revenue appropriated for the
1-39 administration and enforcement of this Act in excess of the
1-40 cumulative amount deposited in the Texas Racing Commission fund
1-41 shall be reimbursed from the Texas Racing Commission fund not later
1-42 than one year after the date on which the general revenue funds are
1-43 appropriated, with 12 percent interest per year until August 31,
1-44 1993, and 6-3/4 percent interest thereafter with all payments first
1-45 attributable to interest.
1-46 SECTION 2. The importance of this legislation and the
1-47 crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
1-48 emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
1-49 constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
1-50 days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
1-51 and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
1-52 passage, and it is so enacted.
