LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 81ST LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION March 23, 2009 TO: Honorable Rene Oliveira, Chair, House Committee on Ways & Means FROM: John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:HB749 by Darby (Relating to the authority of certain counties to impose a hotel occupancy tax for the maintenance and operation of a coliseum in the county.), As Introduced No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. The bill would amend Chapter 352 of the Tax Code, regarding the county hotel occupancy tax. The bill would take effect immediately upon enactment, if it receives two-thirds vote in each house. Otherwise, it would take effect September 1, 2009. Local Government Impact Based on the geographical limitations set forth in the bill, the only location affected would be Scurry County.
