| relating to the use of revenue from municipal hotel occupancy taxes | ||

| BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
| SECTION 1. Section 351.1078, Tax Code, is amended by adding | ||
| Subsections (a-1) and (c) to read as follows: | ||

| made accessible through a link that appears in a prominent place on | ||
| the municipality's Internet website. | ||

| applies shall compare the area hotel revenue that is attributable | ||
| to sporting events held at the sporting related facility or sports | ||
| field described by Section 351.101(i) to the projected annual | ||
| amount of that revenue anticipated by the municipality to be | ||
| generated as a result of the construction or expansion of the | ||
| facility or field. If area hotel revenue attributable to sporting | ||
| events held at the facility or field is less than the projected | ||
