Relating to the use of municipal hotel occupancy tax revenue by certain municipalities.

HB 5028 allows specific Texas municipalities bordering Lake Lewisville that are certified as Dark Sky Communities by DarkSky International to use hotel occupancy tax revenue for three purposes: supporting hotel operations, developing/maintaining roads and public infrastructure, and improving public parks. The bill amends the Tax Code to permit these designated cities to redirect existing hotel tax funds toward these community-focused projects. It applies only to municipalities meeting the Dark Sky certification requirement, not all cities collecting the tax. The bill takes effect on September 1, 2025, unless approved for immediate effect by a two-thirds vote.
