Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to the authority of certain municipalities to use certain tax revenue derived from a hotel and convention center project.
AI Summary
This bill amends Section 351.152 of the Texas Tax Code to expand the list of municipalities eligible for certain tax provisions related to hotel and convention center projects. Specifically, the bill adds a 65th category of qualifying municipalities: those through which the Comal River flows. The existing law already contains an extensive list of municipalities defined by specific population sizes, county characteristics, geographic features, and unique local attributes. The bill removes the word "and" from the previous list's penultimate item and appends the new category about the Comal River municipality. The modification appears to be a technical amendment that would allow a specific municipality (likely located near the Comal River) to access tax provisions that were previously unavailable to it. The bill would take effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote in both houses of the Texas Legislature, or otherwise on September 1, 2025, which is a standard provision for bills that do not achieve the immediate effect threshold.
