HB 1733 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

Sales tax apportionment; modifying apportionment limit for the Oklahoma Tourism Promotion Revolving Fund; effective date; emergency.

HB 1733 modifies how Oklahoma allocates 0.87% of sales tax revenue (for fiscal years 2022-2025) to three tourism-related funds: the Oklahoma Tourism Promotion Revolving Fund (capped at $5 million annually), the Oklahoma Tourism Capital Improvement Revolving Fund (capped at $9 million), and the Oklahoma Route 66 Commission Revolving Fund (capped at $6.6 million). For fiscal years 2026 and beyond, it increases the allocation to 1% of sales tax revenue, with $6.6 million going directly to Route 66, and remaining funds split 36% to Tourism Promotion and 64% to Tourism Capital Improvement. The bill directly affects these state tourism funds, which support marketing, infrastructure, and historic preservation projects. It does not change overall tax rates but adjusts the distribution of existing sales tax revenue to these specific programs.
