2016 Oklahoma Statutes
Title 68. Revenue and Taxation
§68-4302. Legislative findings.
The Legislature finds that certain quality events conducted within the state have a significant economic impact. In order to assist with the promotion of such events and to assist the promoters and organizers of such events with the planning and performance of such events, the Legislature finds that it is in furtherance of an essential governmental function to provide a method by which an eligible municipality or an eligible county may utilize a portion of the state sales tax revenues derived from taxable transactions occurring within a designated area to promote certain qualifying events. The State of Oklahoma has a legitimate interest in economic development related to the occurrence of quality events and the Legislature finds that the use of state sales tax revenues authorized by this act provides a method by which the state can compete successfully in a national and global economy against other jurisdictions offering similar incentives for such events.
