SB 555 - Current law establishes the Division of Tourism Supplemental Revenue Fund, and provides for appropriations to the fund from certain tourism-related taxes. This act repeals such language and provides that the fund shall consist of any moneys appropriated by the General Assembly and any gifts, contributions, grants, or bequests from federal, private, or other sources.

This act is identical to SB 1456 (2024) and to a provision in HCS/HB 967 (2025) and SCS/HB 2719 (2024).
