                                A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
                                       AN ACT
 1-1     relating to the authority of certain municipalities to receive
 1-2     sales tax information.
 1-3           BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
 1-4           SECTION 1.  Subsection (a), Section 321.3022, Tax Code, is
 1-5     amended to read as follows:
 1-6           (a)  The comptroller on request shall provide to a
 1-7     municipality that has adopted a tax under this chapter and that has
 1-8     a population of not more than 100,000 [less than 50,000]
 1-9     information relating to the amount of tax paid to the municipality
1-10     under this chapter during the preceding or current calendar year by
1-11     each person doing business in the municipality who annually remits
1-12     to the comptroller state and local sales tax payments of more than
1-13     $100,000.
1-14           SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
1-15     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
1-16     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
1-17     constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
1-18     days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
1-19     and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
1-20     passage, and it is so enacted.
