Bill > HB5439

This bill amends the Regional Convention and Tourism Promotion Act to clarify the application of the convention tourism assessment to short-term rentals and make other modifications. The key provisions include: 1. Defining "short-term rental" and clarifying that the assessment applies to the occupancy charge for short-term rentals. 2. Allowing the marketing program to include provisions or programs to assist with or provide child care and housing activities. 3. Specifying that for the purposes of a referendum, a dwelling offered as a short-term rental is considered 1 room. 4. Requiring the bureau to use the short-term rental database, if available, to assemble the list of owners to whom the marketing program notice must be mailed. The bill also includes a tie-bar with HB 5438, meaning this bill will not take effect unless that other bill is also enacted into law.
