Relating to the authority of certain municipalities to use certain tax revenue for hotel and convention center projects.

HB 3117 would allow specific Texas municipalities to use designated tax revenues for hotel and convention center projects. The bill targets 17 distinct city types, including those with populations over 95,000, located near landmarks like Lake Lewisville, or containing specific facilities such as the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame. It amends the Tax Code to expand existing authority for these cities to fund such projects. The bill is currently pending in the Texas Legislature after committee review.
