HB 3182 expands the authority of certain municipalities to collect and pledge hotel occupancy tax revenue for convention center projects. The bill modifies Section 351.152 of the Texas Tax Code to include additional municipalities that meet specific population and geographic criteria. These cities will be allowed to dedicate tax revenue toward financing, constructing, and maintaining convention and tourism-related infrastructure, with certain restrictions on tax use.
