Sec. 352.0031. PREEXISTING CONTRACTS

If a county increases the rate of the tax authorized by this chapter, the increased tax rate does not apply to the tax imposed on the use or possession of a room under a contract executed before October 1, 1989, that provides for the payment of the tax at the rate in effect when the contract was executed, unless the contract is subject to change or modification by reason of the tax rate increase. The tax rate applicable to the use or possession of a room under the contract is the rate in effect when the contract was executed.

Added by Acts 1989, 71st Leg., ch. 1110, Sec. 12, eff. Oct. 1, 1989.
