AN ACT
|
|
|
relating to the use of revenue from municipal hotel occupancy taxes |
|
|
for a sports facility or field in certain municipalities. |
|
|
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: |
|
|
SECTION 1. Section 351.1078, Tax Code, is amended by adding |
|
|
Subsections (a-1) and (c) to read as follows: |
|
|
(a-1) The report described by Subsection (a)(2) shall be |
|
|
made accessible through a link that appears in a prominent place on |
|
|
the municipality's Internet website. |
|
|
(c) At least annually, a municipality to which this section |
|
|
applies shall compare the area hotel revenue that is attributable |
|
|
to sporting events held at the sporting related facility or sports |
|
|
field described by Section 351.101(i) to the projected annual |
|
|
amount of that revenue anticipated by the municipality to be |
|
|
generated as a result of the construction or expansion of the |
|
|
facility or field. If area hotel revenue attributable to sporting |
|
|
events held at the facility or field is less than the projected |
|
|
amount, the municipality shall, as soon as practicable, develop and |
|
|
implement a plan to increase that revenue. |
|
|

|
|

|
|
provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this |
|
|
Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this |
|
|
Act takes effect September 1, 2017. |
