Bill Summary

As enacted, requires a hotel operator to remit the hotel tax to the municipality when a person has maintained occupancy for 30 continuous days and to cease collecting the tax from the person for the remainder of their stay in the operator's hotel. - Amends TCA Title 67, Chapter 4, Part 14.

AI Summary

This bill amends Tennessee's tax code regarding hotel occupancy taxes by changing the rules for long-term hotel stays. Specifically, the bill requires hotel operators to stop collecting hotel tax from guests who have maintained continuous occupancy for 30 days, and instead remit the tax for that 30-day period to the municipality. After the 30-day continuous stay, the hotel operator must cease collecting additional hotel tax from that guest for the remainder of their stay. The law will take effect immediately upon becoming law, but will only apply to rental agreements entered into, renewed, or amended on or after July 1, 2025. This change appears designed to provide tax relief for guests who are staying in a hotel for an extended period, recognizing that such long-term stays might be more akin to temporary housing than traditional short-term hotel visits.
