Summary

The bill changes the condition that ends the county’s hotel occupancy tax, tying its repeal to the departure of an NBA franchise from the indoor sports facility or to June 30 2050, whichever is later. It also reallocates tax revenue after the franchise leaves, giving 61.25% to the Convention & Visitors Bureau and 38.75% to the county for permitted uses. The changes only take effect after a two‑thirds vote of the Shelby County legislative body, though the provision governing that vote becomes effective immediately upon enactment.
