Note
This account was initially added by S.B. 1282, 77th Leg., R.S., but was not exempted from abolishment by the funds consolidation bill, H.B. 3088, and was therefore not created. S.B. 1499, 88th Leg., R.S. recreated the account and it was exempted in that session’s funds consolidation bill, H.B. 3461, effective 9/1/2023.
