HB1256 creates a new "rod and gun fund" to support shooting sports programs in public schools by directing half of the occupancy tax revenue from lodging and campgrounds to this fund. The bill modifies the existing visitor tax structure to split occupancy tax proceeds between the current tourism promotion fund and the new rod and gun fund for outdoor recreational activities.
