The bill amends R.S. 33:4574.1.1(A)(24)(b) to extend the maximum hotel occupancy tax rate levied by the Shreveport-Bossier Convention and Tourist Bureau. Specifically, it changes the expiration date of the current maximum rate of four and one-half percent from June 30, 1999, to June 30, 2024. This extension allows the tax to continue for an additional period, supporting the funding of tourism-related activities in the region.

The bill will take effect upon the governor's signature or, if not signed, after the designated time for bills to become law without signature. If the governor vetoes the bill but it is later approved by the legislature, it will become effective the day after that approval.
