A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
 
AN ACT
  relating to an exemption from motor vehicle sales and use taxes for
  certain previously leased motor vehicles.
         BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
         SECTION 1.  Subchapter E, Chapter 152, Tax Code, is amended
  by adding Section 152.094 to read as follows:
         Sec. 152.094.  PURCHASE BY LESSEE. The taxes imposed by
  Sections 152.021 and 152.022 do not apply to the retail sale of a
  motor vehicle on termination of a lease of the motor vehicle if:
               (1)  the purchaser was the lessee under the lease; and
               (2)  the seller:
                     (A)  was the lessor under the lease; and
                     (B)  originally purchased the motor vehicle for
  the purpose of leasing the motor vehicle and paid the tax due under
  this chapter or the tax due to another state on that purchase.
         SECTION 2.  The change in law made by this Act does not
  affect tax liability accruing before the effective date of this
  Act. That liability continues in effect as if this Act had not been
  enacted, and the former law is continued in effect for the
  collection of taxes due and for civil and criminal enforcement of
  the liability for those taxes.
         SECTION 3.  This Act takes effect September 1, 2019.
