HB1144

Indiana HB1144 establishes tourism improvement districts to fund and manage tourism-related activities and improvements.

Indiana HB1144 creates a framework for establishing tourism improvement districts in municipalities and counties. These districts allow for the collection of special assessments from businesses to fund tourism-related activities and improvements. The bill outlines the process for establishing a district, including the creation of a district plan and the requirement for a petition signed by a majority of business owners. The legislative body of the local unit can establish a district if it determines that the proposed activities and improvements are of public utility and benefit.
