Bill > HB2695

This bill authorizes a transient guest tax (a tax on hotel or motel room charges) for general revenue purposes in the city of Wentzville, Missouri, upon approval by the city's voters. The tax would be between 2-5% per occupied room per night and the proceeds would go towards the city's general revenue. The bill specifies the ballot language that would be used to put the tax proposal to a public vote, and outlines when the tax would become effective if approved. Additionally, the bill defines "transient guests" as those who occupy a hotel or motel room for 31 days or less during any calendar quarter.
