An Act to promote jobs and economic growth in tourism, visitation and hospitality

This bill amends Massachusetts law to direct 1.5% of the state's room occupancy tax revenue from the previous fiscal year toward promoting jobs and economic growth in the tourism, visitation, and hospitality sectors. The change affects the state's budgeting process by creating a specific funding stream derived from taxes paid by hotel guests to support these industries. By modifying Section 13T of Chapter 23A, the legislation establishes a mechanism to allocate a portion of existing tax collections for economic development initiatives in the hospitality field.
