Under current law, such localities receive state funds from the imposition of an extra one percent sales tax in the Historic Triangle. The bill establishes the Williamsburg Tourism Council (the Council) as an advisory board in the legislative branch of state government and replaces the Chief Executive Officer of the Virginia Tourism Alliance on the Council with the Chair of the Greater Williamsburg Chamber of Commerce.
