Adds language to the Convention Center and Tourism

establish, subject to the recommendation of the Comptroller

of the Treasury and approval by the State Building

Commission no later than December 31, 2018, that the

portion of the incremental increase in local sales and use tax

revenue shall be apportioned and distributed for one

qualified public use facility placed in service no later

December 31, 2022. Establishes that no state sales and use

tax revenue shall be allocated to the municipality pursuant to

this legislation. Establishes that any privilege tax levied

pursuant to this legislation, on sales in business activity in a

qualified public use facility and in tourist development zones,

pursuant to the Local Tourism

Development Zone Business Tax Act (the TDZBA), shall

continue until a certain date.

To the extent a qualified public use facility owned at least

partially by a private entity continues receiving an

allocation of local sales tax revenue under the

Convention Center and Tourism Development Financing

Act of 1998, which it would not have received under

current law; the proposed legislation would result in a

mandatory increase in local expenditures. The timing and

extent of any such mandatory increase cannot be

determined.

In addition, should the respective municipality, in

conjunction with the specific qualified public use facility

identified in the legislation, be successful in certifying a

tourist development zone under the Local Tourism

Development Zone Business Tax Act (TDZBA), it will

consequently seek to impose a privilege tax under the

TDZBA, and therefore, will experience a permissive

increase in local revenue. The extent of any additional

permissive local revenue cannot be determined with any

reasonable certainty.
