Bill > S2003

This bill amends Section 13T of Chapter 23A of Massachusetts law by adding a provision that allocates 1.5% of the state's room occupancy excise tax (a tax paid by guests when they stay in hotels, motels, and other lodging establishments) from the previous fiscal year to a specific purpose. While the exact destination of these funds is not detailed in the provided text, the bill's title suggests the revenue is intended to promote jobs and economic growth in the tourism, visitation, and hospitality sectors. By earmarking a small percentage of the room occupancy tax, the legislation aims to support and potentially reinvest in the state's tourism industry, which can help create jobs and stimulate local economic development.
