Bill overview
This bill changes how cities and counties can use revenue from local transient lodging taxes (hotel taxes). It allows these funds to be used either directly by the city or county or indirectly through special districts. The bill also shifts the balance of how these taxes are used, requiring at least 40% to support tourism and related facilities, and no more than 60% to fund city or county services. Existing local governments with specific tax rules are also addressed, and it establishes a biennial reporting requirement for local governments regarding their use of these tax revenues.
