Relating to the use by certain municipalities of municipal hotel occupancy tax revenue for the enhancement and maintenance of public parks.

AI Summary

This bill allows certain municipalities with a population of more than 69,000 and located in two counties, with the majority of the territory in a county with a population of at least 580,000 and the remaining territory in a county with a population of at least four million, to use up to 10% of their municipal hotel occupancy tax revenue to enhance and maintain public parks they own. The bill also limits the amount of tax revenue that can be used for an individual park based on the hotel revenue directly attributable to tourists visiting that park, and requires the municipality to maintain its existing level of funding for other purposes authorized under the hotel occupancy tax law.
