— Texans would be paying a high-
—) er sales tax — up to 7.25 per-
H cent from the current 6.25 per-
cent — and will be paying an
] additional 3 percent tax on
snacks. A new $ 1 tax on a pack
_ of cigarettes also would be
-. levied under the plan.
Most of the revenue in the
—i legislation would come from
~ businesses, many of which now
avoid paying the franchise tax
J through loopholes in the law.
Under the proposal, the loop-

allowing alcohol at the event.
Senate's lone independent joined
Republicans in approving the bill
on a 74-25 vote. It goes to the
House next month and onto
President Bush, who made it a
priority after the GOP increased
its majorities in the election last
fall.
"I applaud the strong biparti-
san vote in the Senate to curb
abuses of the bankruptcy sys-
tem," Bush said in a statement.
"Reforming the system with this
common sense approach, more
Americans — especially lower-
income Americans — will have
greater access to credit."
Lenders had been pushing the
legislation for eight years.
