Summary
The bill permits cities of the third classification that operate under a city‑manager form of government to tax hotel rooms and short‑term rentals occupied by guests staying 31 days or less. The tax, limited to 5 % of the charge, would be earmarked for tourism promotion and could only take effect after a majority of city voters approve it. The measure failed to pass.
