SPONSOR: Crossley

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 inns, and campgrounds that must be between 5% and 7% per occupied room per night. The proceeds from this tax can 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.
