Authorizes Washington County to submit a question to the voters on a transient guest tax for tourism purposes

Summary

The bill lets Washington County place a ballot question asking voters if they want to impose a tax of up to 6% on the price of hotel rooms, motels, bed‑and‑breakfasts and campground cabins. If voters approve, the tax would be collected from transient guests—people staying 31 days or less—and the revenue would be used only for promoting tourism. The measure applies only to counties that meet specific population thresholds, which Washington County meets.
