TO: | Honorable Harvey Hilderbran, Chair, House Committee on Ways & Means |
FROM: | Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | HB1975 by Ritter (Relating to the revocation and reinstatement of an end user number for purposes of purchasing dyed diesel fuel.), As Introduced |
The bill would amend Chapter 162 of the Tax Code, regarding motor fuel taxes.
The bill would require the Comptroller, on receipt of notice transmitted by electronic means of final judgment entered by a court, to revoke the end user number of a purchaser who failed to pay a licensed supplier or distributor for the purchase of dyed diesel fuel, and notify the licensed supplier or distributor of the revocation. The Comptroller could reinstate a revoked end user number on receipt of proof transmitted by electronic means that the judgment had been satisfied. The Comptroller issues end user numbers to purchasers of dyed diesel fuel for off-road use, and such sales are not subject to the diesel fuel tax. It is unlikely the bill would have a significant impact on revenue collections from this tax.
The bill would take effect September 1, 2013.
