This bill adds any county with more than 15,700 but fewer than 17,600 inhabitants and with a county seat with more than 2,000 but fewer than 3,000 inhabitants to an existing statutory authorization of a transient guest tax.
The tax can not be more than 5% per occupied room per night, with half the proceeds designated for funding law enforcement and half for the promotion of tourism.
The tax will not become effective in the county unless submitted to voters for approval and ratified by a majority of the voters voting thereon.
Upon enactment, the bill adds New Madrid County.
This bill is the same as HB 2246 (2024).
