City of Byram; extend repeal date on hotel and motel tax.
SB 3064 extends the repeal date for a tourism tax authorized for the City of Byram, Mississippi. The bill modifies existing law to delay the expiration of a 2% tax on hotel and motel room rentals (excluding certain services) until a new date after July 1, 2029. This tax funds tourism promotion, parks, recreation events, and advertising in Byram, directly affecting hotels and motels operating within the city. The extension does not change the tax rate, collection method, or allowable uses of funds.
