Bill Summary
As introduced, authorizes an entity designated to operate a stadium designed to host games of an intercollegiate football team that competes in the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) to receive a special allocation of state and local sales tax revenue derived from the sale of admission to events occurring within the stadium and from all sales of food, drinks, merchandise, and parking sold on the premises of the stadium to fund capital and operation expenses for the stadium. - Amends TCA Title 67, Chapter 6.
AI Summary
This bill creates a special sales tax allocation mechanism for a specific stadium located in a county with a population between 366,200 and 366,300 people (as determined by the 2020 federal census). The stadium must be designed to host games for an NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) team, international and high school soccer teams, and other local and regional events. Under this legislation, the entity managing the stadium can receive an amount of state and local sales tax revenue equal to the taxes collected from admissions, food, drinks, merchandise, goods, parking, and related services at the stadium. The funds can only be used for capital projects, including debt service, and operational expenses for the stadium. This tax allocation will continue until either the stadium's debt is paid off or July 1, 2055, whichever comes first. The bill requires the stadium's governing entity to reimburse the state for the costs of reallocating the tax revenue. The legislation will take effect on July 1, 2025, and appears to be tailored to a specific stadium and locality in Tennessee.
