Relating to the authority of certain municipalities to use certain tax revenue derived from a hotel and convention center project.

SB 1703 amends Texas Tax Code Section 351.152 to expand which municipalities can use tax revenue from hotel and convention center projects. It specifically allows 16 categories of cities - based on population size, geographic location (e.g., bordering lakes or rivers), or specific landmarks (like the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame) - to direct this revenue toward local projects. The bill does not create new taxes but clarifies eligibility for existing revenue streams. This affects only cities meeting the precise demographic or geographic criteria listed in the bill text.
