Description

Tourism zones; tax revenues for tourism projects.  Authorizes a locality that has established a tourism zone and adopted, by ordinance, a tourism plan to enter into an agreement with an authorized tourism project that would entitle the tourism project to one percent of the sales tax revenues generated on the premises of the project. The revenues must be used for debt service, and must be matched by the tourism project. If the locality has not adopted a tourism plan, it may, by ordinance, enter into a similar agreement to return one percent of local sales tax revenues to the project. Read the Bill »
