Revenue and taxation; require that any excise tax on rooms, lodgings, and accommodations be remitted to the Department of Revenue for disbursement

Summary

The bill changes Georgia law so that any excise tax collected on rooms, lodgings, and accommodations must be sent to the Department of Revenue instead of directly to counties or municipalities. The department will then disburse the funds according to contracts or memoranda of understanding submitted by local governments and tourism organizations. This aims to standardize collection and ensure a portion of the tax is earmarked for tourism product development.
