Amend SJR 2 (house committee printing) as follows:
(1) Add the following appropriately numbered SECTION to the resolution and renumber subsequent SECTIONS of the resolution accordingly:
SECTION ____. Article VIII, Texas Constitution, is amended by adding Section 7-e to read as follows:
Sec. 7-e. (a) Except as provided by Subsection (b) of this section, the comptroller of public accounts shall deposit to the credit of the state highway fund 33-1/3 percent of the amount by which the net revenue derived in a state fiscal year from the taxes authorized by Chapter 152, Tax Code, or its successor, and imposed on the sale or rental of a motor vehicle in this state exceeds the amount of the net revenue derived from those taxes in the state fiscal year ending August 31, 2013.
(b) The net revenue to which Subsection (a) of this section applies does not include any revenue described by that subsection that, under general law in effect on January 1, 2013, was required to be deposited to the credit of a fund outside the general revenue fund from which money could be appropriated only for a purpose that decreases the rates of, or reduces reliance on, ad valorem taxes imposed to fund public schools. To the extent general law continues to require the deposit of that revenue in that manner and limit the appropriation of that revenue to that purpose, the requirement and limitation prevail over Subsection (a) of this section.
