The bill would take effect July 1, 2009, assuming that it receives the requisite two-thirds majority vote in both houses of the Legislature. Otherwise, it would take effect October 1, 2009. Methodology Data on the sale of the eligible energy efficient products were gathered from the U.S. Department of Energy. Sales were adjusted to reflect sales made in Texas, adjusted for the appropriate time period, multiplied by the state sales tax rate, adjusted for potential effective dates of July 1, 2009 and October 1, 2009, and extrapolated through fiscal year 2014.  If the effective date of the bill was October 21, 2009 (after Labor Day), there would be no impact on fiscal year 2010 revenue. Local Government Impact There would be a proportional loss of sales tax revenue to units of local government.    Source Agencies:304 Comptroller of Public Accounts   LBB Staff:  JOB, MN, SD, KK

Methodology

Data on the sale of the eligible energy efficient products were gathered from the U.S. Department of Energy. Sales were adjusted to reflect sales made in Texas, adjusted for the appropriate time period, multiplied by the state sales tax rate, adjusted for potential effective dates of July 1, 2009 and October 1, 2009, and extrapolated through fiscal year 2014.  If the effective date of the bill was October 21, 2009 (after Labor Day), there would be no impact on fiscal year 2010 revenue.
