Provides that if a municipality (rather than any municipality located within DuPage County) belongs to a not-for-profit organization headquartered in the county in which the municipality is located and if that not-for-profit organization is recognized by the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity as a certified local tourism and convention bureau entitled to receive State tourism grant funds, then not less than 50% (rather than 75%) of the amounts collected pursuant to the municipal hotel operators' occupation tax and municipal hotel use tax shall be expended by the municipality to promote tourism and conventions within that municipality or otherwise to attract nonresident overnight visitors to the municipality, and the remainder of the amounts collected by the municipality pursuant to the municipal hotel operators' occupation tax and municipal hotel use tax may be expended by the municipality for economic development or capital infrastructure. Removes provisions repealing the municipal hotel operators' occupation tax and the municipal hotel use tax on January 1, 2027. Effective immediately.
