Voted Do Pass S Local Government, Elections and Pensions Committee
Summary
The bill permits a third‑class city that uses a city‑manager government to add a tax of no more than five percent on hotel rooms and short‑term rentals occupied by guests staying 30 days or less. The tax revenue must be used only for tourism promotion, and the tax can only take effect after voters approve it. After any initial bonds are paid, the city can also put a repeal question before voters.
