Senate Bill 2056 amends the Tax Code to authorize the City of Brownfield to use municipal hotel occupancy tax revenue to promote tourism by maintaining, enhancing, or upgrading sports facilities or fields, provided that the city, if it uses the revenue to enhance or upgrade a sports facility or field, complies with certain requirements relating to the allocation of municipal hotel occupancy tax revenue for that purpose, the city owns the sports facilities or field, and the 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. The bill sets a floor for the city's spending on advertising and conducting solicitations and promotional programs to attract tourists and convention delegates or registrants.
