Authorizes a transient guest tax for tourism and economic development purposes in Park Hills upon voter approval
HB 3044 would allow Park Hills to impose a tax of up to 5% per night on hotel and motel stays for short-term guests (occupying rooms 31 days or less per quarter), but only if voters approve it. The tax must be added separately to room rates and cannot exceed 5% of the nightly charge. All revenue would fund tourism promotion and economic development efforts in the city. The tax requires a voter approval vote through a ballot question before it can take effect.
