A JOINT RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE LEGISLATIVE RESEARCH COMMISSION TO STUDY ISSUES RELATING TO THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A TRAVEL AND TOURISM CAPITAL INCENTIVE PROGRAM.
Whereas, travel and tourism is highly competitive among the States; and
Whereas, travel and tourism is a major industry in North Carolina; and
Whereas, to remain competitive, capital expenditures are necessary to expand and improve facilities and attractions in the State and to create new destinations such as convention centers and arenas; and
Whereas, creating a travel and tourism capital incentive program would foster a cooperative effort between State and local governments to create new sources of land to provide needed capital expenditures for travel and tourism; Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
Section 1.  The Legislative Research Commission is authorized to study issues relating to the establishment of a Travel and Tourism Capital Incentive Program.  The Legislative Research Commission is encouraged to appoint members of the public as well as legislators to participate in the study.

Section 3.  This resolution is effective upon ratification.
