MS HB1733

Extends the repeal date of the Jackson Convention and Visitors Bureau and its associated taxes from July 1, 2022 to July 1, 2026.

Authorizes Jackson's governing authorities to levy an additional tax of up to one-half of one percent (0.5%) on gross proceeds from hotel and motel room rentals, subject to approval by 60% of voters in a local election.

Maintains the existing one percent (1%) tax on gross proceeds of sales from restaurants, hotels, and motels to fund the bureau's tourism and convention promotion activities.

Requires the Department of Revenue to collect all taxes and remit proceeds to the city, which forwards funds to the bureau within 10 days; the state retains 3% of collections for administrative costs.

Dedicates all tax proceeds solely for tourism and convention promotion programs designated by the Jackson Convention and Visitors Bureau; funds cannot be used as general revenue.
