CSSJR 2 was passed to engrossment by a viva voce vote.
All Members are deemed to have voted "Yea" on the passage to engrossment REMARKS ORDERED PRINTED
On motion of Senator Patrick and by unanimous consent, the remarks by Senators Nichols and Patrick regarding CSSJRi2 were ordered reduced to writing and
printed in the Senate Journal as follows:
Senator Patrick:iiThank you, Mr. President, thank you, Senator. I want to be sure
that we understand the $6 billion floor, and I thank you for taking that language and
incorporating it in the bill because, as you know, there was concern by many that we
have a certain amount in the rainy day fund for our credit rating, for economic
downturns, which it was designed for, and some people see it as a backup for an
emergency. So, the way your bill is written, once we are at six billion and above, the
money would flow after the education portion is taken out and the money goes to the
general revenue. That 75 percent is split half and half between the rainy day fund and
transportation. Is that correct?
Senator Nichols:iiThat is correct.
Senator Patrick:iiAnd so, your projection from the Comptroller ’s office is, again,
about 900 million would go into transportation beginning in the second year of the
biennium. Is that correct?
Senator Nichols:iiYeah, it would be, yeah, in about a little over a year.
Senator Patrick:iiThat also means that 900 million would be going into the rainy day
fund.
Senator Nichols:iiThat ’s correct, it would continue to increase.
Senator Patrick:iiSo, because I stand in strong support of your bill, I think this is a
very good conservative approach to maintaining the rainy day fund, our reserve,
growing the rainy day fund and providing a revenue stream on a yearly basis, as long
as the revenues are coming in from the severance back to transportation. So, because
there has been some questions and some confusion, the rainy day fund would not
continue to grow. It ’s still going to get half of the money that transportation would
receive.
Senator Nichols:iiThat is correct, they would get equal amounts.
Senator Patrick:iiSo, if the projections are correct, and it ’s hard to project out two,
four, six years on what the cost of gasoline will be, but the dollars are coming in, so
there ’s no reason not to expect our rainy day fund still to grow to seven, to eight, to
nine, to $10 billion while we are funding transportation.
Senator Nichols:iiThat is correct.
Senator Patrick:iiAgain, thank you for taking that language. I think that it answers a
lot of questions for a lot of folks who were concerned about and, by the way, for
clarification, it does not impact the Legislature from drawing down from the six
billion?
Senator Nichols:iiIt does not touch that at all. It only adjusts the $6 billion mark, only
adjusts the rate in which you split the money. You ’re either splitting the money if it ’s
above six or you put it all into the rainy day fund until it gets to the six.
Senator Patrick:iiAnd so, if there ’s a need in a future legislative session to draw
down below it, the Legislature has the ability to do that. All it would do is stop the
money going into transportation until it grew back to six billion.
Senator Nichols:iiThat ’s correct. The mechanism for the Legislature or the budget
writers ’ability to reach down there and use it when they feel like we need it has not
been touched at all. There has been several occasions in the past where the Legislature
did reach in there and take it all.
Senator Patrick:iiI think that this is a good approach. It saves from raising taxes and
fees, and it will help generate money for transportation and take advantage of the
success we ’re having in the oil and gas industry right now and continue to preserve
the rainy day fund. So, as I ’ve always said, you ’re one of the smartest guys in the
room, you ’re always thinking, and you ’ve came up with a good plan, and you were
willing to preserve the rainy day fund, and I hope everyone will support it.
REMARKS ORDERED PRINTED
On motion of Senator Campbell and by unanimous consent, the remarks by Senators Nichols and Campbell regarding CSSJRi2 were ordered reduced to writing
and printed in the Senate Journal as follows:
Senator Campbell:iiI wanted to thank Chairman Nichols and Chairman
Williams for their hard work on this bill. As you know, transportation is vital to mydistrict as well as Texas, and I think this bill is a viable solution for transportationfunding. I want to just clarify a couple of things. Mr. Chairman, is the intent of thisbill to find a more viable revenue stream for transportation funding? 83rd Legislature — First Called Session Senator Nichols:iiThat is correct.
Senator Campbell:iiThe bill allows specifically to also pay down debt service.
Senator Nichols:iiOn Proposition 12 debt, right.
Senator Campbell:iiThis bill looks like it is a good start to revitalize a pay as
you go concept. Would you say that is a true statement? Senator Nichols:iiI would say that is correct. It doesn ’t get us all the way there,
but it ’s a step in the right direction.
Senator Campbell:iiMr. Chairman, I think this is a brilliant idea. I think this is
a good bill, and I applaud your efforts for our great state in the infrastructure.
REMARKS ORDERED PRINTED
On motion of Senator Williams and by unanimous consent, his remarks regarding CSSJRi2 were ordered reduced to writing and printed in the Senate Journal
as follows:
First let me clarify, in no uncertain terms, 25 percent of all occupation taxes (which include oil and gas severance taxes) are constitutionallydedicated to the Foundation School Fund. There is no artificial limit. The1987 base year does not have anything to do with this calculation. Bottomline, this means that based on the Comptroller ’s BRE for FY 14-15, $2.8billion from occupation taxes will be deposited into the Foundation SchoolFund. The 1987 "line" we discuss only comes into play when determininghow much General Revenue to transfer to the Rainy Day Fund.
Comptroller considers how much severance tax is collected above this"line" of $1 billion, 131 million and transfers 75 percent of that amount tothe Rainy Day Fund; the balance remains in General Revenue. Again, thisis unrelated to the 25 percent of all occupation taxes that have already beendeposited to the Foundation School Fund.
