Bill Summary
This bill raises funds for the division of travel and tourism through from the meals and rooms tax.
AI Summary
This bill modifies how the budget for the division of travel and tourism is calculated by adjusting the revenue from the meals and rooms tax, which is a tax on lodging and prepared food. Specifically, it changes the existing law (RSA 12-O:11-b) to ensure the division's budget, including the travel and tourism development fund, is funded at an amount no less than 3.15 percent of the net income identified by RSA 78-A:26, I, and also includes income identified under RSA 78-A:26, III. This means that a portion of the meals and rooms tax revenue that was previously excluded from this calculation, specifically the income identified under RSA 78-A:26, III, will now be added back to determine the funding for the division. The bill is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
