The bill amends R.S. 33:4574.1.1(A)(24)(b) to address the hotel occupancy tax levied by the Shreveport-Bossier Convention and Tourist Bureau. Specifically, it changes the maximum rate of the tax from four and one-half percent until June 30, 1999, to a new expiration date of June 30, 2024. This extension allows the tax to continue for an additional period, ensuring ongoing funding for the Bureau's activities.

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.
