3. Unenforced Taxes Cleanup
--- Any type of tax that is not collected at all under the 2021-22 budget, despite still having authorizing statute in force, is hereby repealed. In cases where the tax only composed a part of the statute, the remainder of the statute shall remain in force.

4. Effective Date
