A. There is hereby created in the State Treasury a revolving fund for the State Treasurer to be designated the "Oklahoma Taxpayer Relief Revolving Fund". The fund shall be a continuing fund, not subject to fiscal year limitations, and shall consist of the monies transferred to such fund pursuant to paragraph 2 of subsection A of Section 46.1 of Title 62 of the Oklahoma Statutes. All monies accruing to the credit of said fund are hereby appropriated and may be budgeted and expended by the State Treasurer for the purpose of providing payments to Oklahoma residents who have filed an income tax return pursuant to Section 2355 of this title for the preceding tax year, except for those residents who were inmates in the custody of the Department of Corrections, and for the purpose of administrative costs incurred by the State Treasurer in making payments provided by this section. The payments to taxpayers filing as married filing jointly, surviving spouse or head of household shall be equal to two times the payment to taxpayers filing as an individual or married filing separately. No taxpayer filing as an individual who claims zero personal exemptions shall receive a payment. During each year funds accrue pursuant to Section 46.1 of Title 62 of the Oklahoma Statutes, the Oklahoma Tax Commission shall provide the State Treasurer with information necessary for such payments to be issued. Expenditures from said fund shall be made upon warrants issued by the State Treasurer against claims filed as prescribed by law with the Director of the Office of Management and Enterprise Services for approval and payment.
B. The State Treasurer shall promulgate any necessary rules in order to administer the provisions of this section.
C. The Oklahoma Taxpayer Relief Revolving Fund shall be abolished and all monies remaining in such fund transferred to the Special Cash Fund on June 30, 2012. Any liabilities payable from the Oklahoma Taxpayer Relief Revolving Fund shall be extinguished upon its abolishment and shall not be transferred to the Special Cash Fund. The Special Cash Fund refers to the fund created by Section 253 of Title 62 of the Oklahoma Statutes.
