Summary

The bill lets University City, a municipality of 33,000‑36,500 people, impose a tax of no more than 8% on each night’s charge for hotel or motel rooms occupied by guests staying 31 days or less in a calendar quarter. The tax would be added on top of existing charges and the revenue would go to the city’s general fund. It only becomes effective after a majority of qualified voters approve the measure in an election; if rejected, the city could try again later.
