SPONSOR: Steinmeyer

Currently, the City of Independence is authorized to impose a tax on the charges for rooms paid by guests of hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts, and campgrounds of between 5% and 7% per occupied room per night. The proceeds from this tax may be used to fund the promotion, operation, and development of tourism.

This bill adds the costs of operating a community center to the authorized uses of this tax.
