The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 205, aims to amend chapter 219 of the general statutes by mandating that a percentage of the revenue generated from an additional one percent sales and use tax on meals sold by eating establishments, caterers, or grocery stores be allocated to the Tourism Fund. This fund, established under section 10-395b of the general statutes, is intended to support the state's hospitality, arts, culture, and tourism sectors, as well as related marketing efforts.

The bill does not specify any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language that emphasizes the dedication of a portion of the sales tax revenue to the Tourism Fund. The overarching goal of this legislation is to enhance the financial resources available for promoting and sustaining the state's tourism and cultural initiatives.
