Relating to authorizing certain counties to impose a hotel occupancy tax, the applicability and rates of that tax in certain counties, and the use of revenue from that tax.

HB 4222 authorizes specific Texas counties to impose a hotel occupancy tax on rooms costing $2 or more per night. It identifies 17 categories of qualifying counties, including those with large populations (over 3.3 million), bordering Mexico, lacking municipalities, containing Indian reservations, or located near specific water bodies or national parks. The bill does not set tax rates or specify how revenue must be used - only grants authority to certain counties to implement the tax. This is a procedural authorization bill focused on expanding local tax options for designated counties.
