HB 2244 Tennessee House · 113th Regular Session (2023-2024)

Taxes - As enacted, makes changes relative to the "Local Tourism Development Zone Business Tax Act." - Amends TCA Title 5; Title 6; Title 7; Title 9 and Title 67.

This bill amends the Local Tourism Development Zone Business Tax Act to clarify how counties must select representatives for these zones. Specifically, it requires that representatives be chosen to broadly reflect all areas of the county, explicitly including both incorporated and unincorporated regions. The change ensures that local tourism development decisions consider the interests of the entire county rather than just specific towns. This adjustment applies to counties across Tennessee that utilize the existing tourism development zone business tax system.
