HB 1658 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

City of Indianola; revise repeal date on tourism commission and hotel, motel and restaurant tax.

HB 1658 extends the repeal date for the Indianola Tourism Commission and its associated hotel, motel, and restaurant tax from July 1, 2025, to July 1, 2029. This change directly affects the City of Indianola by keeping the tourism commission operational and maintaining the tax authority that funds its activities. The bill amends existing law to delay the sunset of these provisions, ensuring the commission can continue promoting tourism and economic development. The tax, levied on qualifying hotels, motels, and restaurants, remains authorized to support the commission's work until 2029.
