A business is exempt from the assessments provided for in this chapter if the business is a travel agency or tour operator that derives less than 20 percent of its gross revenue from travel and tourism occurring within the state. A travel agency or tour operator that qualifies for this exemption may pay the assessment by filing a written request with the commission indicating its desire to be categorized as an assessed business.
