SB 2830 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the authority of certain municipalities to receive certain tax revenue derived from a hotel and convention center project and to pledge certain tax revenue for the payment of obligations related to the project.

SB 2830 allows certain Texas municipalities (specifically those listed in Tax Code §351.152(5), (6), (22), (29), or (58)) to collect and use tax revenue from nearby hotels and convention centers to fund related projects. It defines "qualified establishments" as hotels or convention centers within 1,000 feet of each other, located on municipal-owned land or land controlled by a municipality, nonprofit, or federal government. The bill enables these cities to pledge designated tax revenue to cover project costs, such as construction or debt payments. This policy change directly affects eligible municipalities and their ability to finance hospitality infrastructure through local tax mechanisms.
