An Act establishing tourism improvement districts and tourism improvement district management associations; and providing for powers of counties, for powers of tourism improvement district management associations, for dissolution of tourism improvement district and for annual audit.
SB 783 establishes "tourism improvement districts" (TIDs) in Pennsylvania counties, where participating hotels and tourism businesses pay special fees to fund local tourism activities. The bill creates "tourism improvement district management associations" (TIDMAs) to manage funds for marketing, events, destination improvements, and promotional programs that directly benefit these businesses. Counties must hold public hearings, collect fees (capped at 4% administrative cost), and ensure TID funding supplements existing tourism programs without reducing current county tourism spending. Businesses within a proposed TID can collectively object if 40% of total room inventory opposes the district, preventing its formation.
