Senate Bill 1136 amends the Tax Code to authorize the City of Edinburg to use municipal hotel occupancy tax revenue to construct, maintain, or expand a sporting-related facility or sporting-related field on property owned by the city provided its sports facilities and fields have been used in the preceding calendar year a combined total of more than 10 times for district, state, regional, or national sports tournaments, games, or events. The bill imposes certain limitations on the amount of hotel tax revenue that may be used for this purpose and sets a floor for the city's spending on advertising and conducting solicitations and promotional programs to attract tourists and convention delegates or registrants.
