Bill > S05191

This bill extends the authorization for the town of Mount Pleasant to impose a hotel/motel occupancy tax on hotels not located within a village, specifically extending the expiration date from September 1, 2025 to September 1, 2027. An occupancy tax is a fee charged to guests staying in hotels, typically used to generate revenue for local government services or tourism development. The bill amends a previous law from 2020 that originally granted Mount Pleasant the ability to implement this local tax, and it simply modifies the sunset date (the date when the authorization would automatically expire) by adding two years to the existing authorization. The legislation allows the town to continue levying this tax on hotels located outside of village boundaries for an additional two years, providing continued fiscal flexibility for local government revenue generation.
