HB 1852 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending the act of March 4, 1971 (P.L.6, No.2), known as the Tax Reform Code of 1971, in hotel occupancy tax, further providing for Tourism Promotion Fund.

HB 1852 changes the 1971 Tax Reform Code to redirect revenue from the hotel occupancy tax into a dedicated Tourism Promotion Fund. This affects hotels and tourism businesses that pay the occupancy tax, as their payments will now support marketing efforts. The key provision creates a specific fund to finance advertising, promotions, and initiatives aimed at attracting visitors to the state. The bill directs these funds toward boosting tourism marketing and economic development in the state.
