Any
state park operated under the jurisdiction of the Department of Natural
Resources which regularly furnishes for value lodge rooms as well as meals and
conference or meeting facilities or has a minimum of 20 cabins and which is
located in a county or municipality levying a tax under this article shall, as
provided in this Code section, agree to collect and remit to the county or
municipality within whose taxing jurisdiction the facility is located amounts
which are equal to, or partially equal to, the amounts which would be collected
and remitted to the county or municipality under the tax levied by the county or
municipality under Code Section 48-13-51 if the lodges or cabins were privately
operated. The sums so collected and remitted shall only be expended for
development, promotion, and advertising of the lodges or cabins from which the

advertising, stimulating, and developing conventions and tourism in the county
or municipality in which the state park is operated as long as said promotion or
advertising prominently features the state park facilities or similar facilities
operated under the jurisdiction of the Department of Natural Resources.
