Bill > SB1208

This bill amends the Tax Code to allow certain rural counties and municipalities located in those counties to use revenue from the hotel occupancy tax to plan, construct, and maintain transportation, water, and broadband infrastructure. Specifically, the bill applies to counties that border the Rio Grande River with a population of less than 6,000 and an area of more than 2,500 square miles, as well as counties that contain land west of the Pecos River with a population between 1,000 and 850,000 and do not contain a national recreation area. The bill removes a provision that exempted hotels located in municipalities that impose their own hotel occupancy tax from the county tax.
