Bill Summary

As introduced, changes, from 90 days after the end of a fiscal year to 60 days after the end of a fiscal year, the deadline for each city levying a tax upon the privilege of occupancy under general law to file a report with the department of tourist development detailing the amount spent by the municipality and how those expenditures have been designated and used for tourism and tourism development. - Amends TCA Title 5; Title 6; Title 7 and Title 67.

AI Summary

This bill shortens the reporting deadline for cities that collect a tax on hotel stays, often referred to as a "lodging tax" or "occupancy tax," which is used to fund tourism and tourism development. Previously, these cities had 90 days after the end of their fiscal year to submit a report to the Tennessee Department of Tourist Development detailing how these funds were spent and allocated for tourism purposes; this bill changes that deadline to 60 days after the end of the fiscal year, requiring a quicker accounting of how tourism-related tax revenue is utilized.
