/      (SR: Nonrecurring Revenue - Increased Enforcement Collections) For Fiscal Year 2011-12, the Department of Revenue shall continue its efforts pertaining to increased enforcement collections as established in Fiscal Year 2009-10.
     The department may collect revenues from foreign collections within its jurisdiction, which may include but is not limited to corporate, individual or sales tax collections but especially shall focus on enforced collections and outstanding liabilities.
     Funding previously received by the department for enforced collections shall be used to fund foreign auditors to conduct foreign audits of multi-national and international corporations. Personnel may include revenue officers and criminal investigators. These employees will focus on collecting outstanding liabilities owed to this state.
     During the current fiscal year, in applying the revenue statutes of this State, the department's interpretation of those statutes must be based solely on the plain meaning of the statute's text and the legislative intent giving rise to the enactment of the statutes. Terms contained in the tax statutes of this State may not be given broader meaning beyond the meaning of the statute. At least twice during the fiscal year, the department shall submit a report to the Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee and the Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee regarding any discovered ambiguity in the meaning of a revenue statute. The first report must be submitted no later than November first and the second report must be submitted no later than May first of the fiscal year.
     The funds collected under this provision shall be deposited in a fund separate and distinct from the general fund as established within the Office of the State Treasurer, except that any motor fuel funds collected as a result of the enforced collection efforts shall be distributed in the same manner as other motor fuel tax revenues are currently distributed.
     When the department determines that quarterly enforced collections have exceeded the schedule provided in this provision, the department shall deposit the excess funds into the separate and distinct fund not to exceed the totals as provided in this provision.      The State Treasurer shall disburse funds in the following manner.
     Prior to the close of the books on Fiscal Year 2011-12, the funds accumulated in the aforementioned separate and distinct fund shall be transferred to the General Reserve Fund, up to the amount necessary to meet the constitutional five percent requirement.
     To insure that customary and usual enforced collections are unaffected by this provision, the Office of the State Treasurer may not disburse funds from this account until the following schedule of General Fund enforced collections are deposited by the Department of Revenue by the end of each quarter in the fiscal year. If quarterly General Fund enforced collections do not reach the required levels, distributions from this account are suspended for that quarter. The required deposits of quarterly General Fund enforced collections by the end of each quarter are:
           July to September 2011            $11,250,000
           October to December 2011      $22,500,000
           January to March 2012            $33,750,000
           April to June 2012            $45,000,000
     The Department of Revenue shall report on a quarterly basis to the finance committees of the General Assembly and to the Board of Economic Advisors on the amount of customary and usual enforced collections and the excess collections from the enhanced collection activities. The Department of Revenue shall provide assistance to the Board of Economic Advisors to assist in monitoring revenue collection seasonal flows that impact the funding of state government programs.
     By this provision these funds are deemed to have been received and are available for appropriation.
     Unexpended funds appropriated pursuant to this provision may be carried forward to succeeding fiscal years and expended for the same purpose./
