28. HB 3113 2nd Reading

Passage; May 13, 2015; RV #1043; Journal Page 3330; 54 Yeas, 88 Nays, 2 Present-not-voting

YCT Nay. HB 3113 would have expanded the use of hotel occupancy taxes for payment on certain hotel projects in the state. YCT opposes this bill and the many hotel occupancy tax expansions that were proposed this session. These expansions are misleading to residents of the area in which the expansion of the hotel occupancy tax exists. More often than not residents of the affected municipalities have no understanding of the potential increase or its use to create facilities. This, in turn only justifies the municipality in asking for more money later on.
