Abstract
(HB5099 · 103rd Legislature) Taxation: convention tourism assessments; distribution of money in the convention facility development fund; modify.

Why this matters
The Convention Facility Development Fund channels convention tourism assessment revenue to local convention facilities and related uses, so changes to its distribution formula affect which local governments and projects receive state support. HB5099 is an incremental adjustment rather than a new tax, but the reallocation could shift dollars among recipient communities.
