AI Summary

This bill extends the repeal date for the Jackson Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB), which is an organization responsible for promoting tourism and conventions in Jackson, Mississippi, from July 1, 2026, to July 1, 2030. Additionally, it authorizes the City of Jackson to impose an additional 1% tax on hotel and motel room rentals and a 1/2% tax on restaurant sales, on top of the existing 1% tourist and convention tax already levied on restaurants, hotels, and motels. Before these new taxes can be implemented, the City Council must pass a resolution stating their intention to levy them and then hold an election where at least 60% of the qualified electors voting must approve the tax. The bill also makes minor changes to the composition of the CVB board by replacing "Capital Center" with "Capital City" in references to the Convention Center Commission.
