City of Hattiesburg; extend repealer on tourism commission and hotel/motel tax.

Summary

The act keeps the Hattiesburg Tourism Commission active and allows the city to continue levying a 2% tax on gross hotel and motel room rentals, pushing the original repeal date from 2027 to 2031. The tax revenue is dedicated solely to tourism promotion and is not part of the city’s general fund. The commission is made up of appointed members from the lodging industry, the chamber of commerce or economic development foundation, the university, and at‑large citizens.
