What I did at Astroworld

I was an English police officer at Astroworld for about 8 months or so.

What I want to share with you.

I am asking our representatives and senators in the Texas Legislature to adopt this Bill. You can help by contacting your local representatives and senators that represent you. If you are not certain who your representative is, please contact me and I will provide that information to you. You can make a difference. By: H.B. No. 31 HB. A BILL TO BE ENTITLED AN ACT RELATING TO RESTORING AND PROTECTING HISTORICAL AMUSEMENT PARKS BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS Whereas the Legislature recognizes that amusement parks have historically brought amusement and entertainment to millions of Texans and is a also a source of economic development for the entertainment industry; and Whereas the Legislature deems it in the public interest to promote the redevelopment of historical amusement parks, BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS SECTION 1 Chapter 26 of the Parks and Wildlife Code is amended as follows by adding Section 26.005 Sec. 26.005 ECONOMIC INCENTIVES TO RESTORE AMUSEMENT PARKS. a) To facilitate the redevelopment of historical amusement parks in Texas in substantially their original location and with the same, similar or additional rides and attractions as well as motif, cities can use any portion of their sales tax revenues to directly pay for infrastructure for the amusement park or to provide loans, grants or other incentives to the developer thereof. Also, the developers thereof and their assignees can deduct up to 50 % of their construction costs and development costs against their obligations of state sales tax receipts for ten years, commencing on January 1, 2014.

SECTION 2. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this Act takes effect September 1, 2013. The Texas Legislature is in session only for 140 days. This is the time, when we need to act. Best Regards, Mark Sokolow Attorney at Law 338 Wedgerock Webster, Texas 77598 281-286-9749 mark@mtsokolow-attorney.com http://mtsokolow-atttorney.com
