Town of Meadville; authorize tax on hotels, motels, and bed and breakfasts for tourism and parks and recreation.

SB 2262 would allow Meadville, Mississippi to impose a 3% tax on short-term hotel, motel, and bed-and-breakfast rentals (less than 30 days) to fund tourism promotion and parks/recreation projects. Before implementing the tax, the town must hold a voter election requiring 60% approval from those who vote. Revenue collected must be spent exclusively on tourism and parks initiatives, tracked separately from general town funds, and audited annually. The tax would expire on July 1, 2030.
