Permits the town of Monroe to impose a hotel and motel tax
This bill authorizes the town of Monroe to impose a 5% tax on hotel, motel, and bed-and-breakfast room rentals (excluding guests staying 90+ consecutive days as "permanent residents"). It specifies that revenue must be collected by Monroe's fiscal officer and deposited into the town's general fund for any lawful purpose. The tax would expire automatically three years after enactment, with no application to government entities or qualifying nonprofits. The measure directly affects short-term lodging businesses and guests within Monroe, not other municipalities.

MODERATE
The bill was renumbered from S 6047 to S 6047-A and reprocessed by the Senate Committee on Investigations and Government Operations. The core text of the legislation, which authorizes the Town of Monroe to impose a hotel and motel tax, remains substantively unchanged.
TECHNICAL
The bill number was updated from S 6047 to S 6047-A to reflect its status as an amended version.
The bill was re-committed to the Senate Committee on Investigations and Government Operations after the committee discharged it and amended it.
The section number in the tax law was changed from 1202-kk to 1202-ll, likely to correct a numbering error in the original draft.
Line numbering and page headers were adjusted to reflect the new version of the document.
