HB 1820 -- Tourism Tax

Co-Sponsors:  Phillips, Harding

Currently, Platte County is authorized to impose, upon voter
approval, a room tax of one-fourth of 1% on all transient guests
of hotels or motels.  The tax is used for the promotion of
tourism.  This bill increases the allowable tax to one-half of 1%
and also allows Clay County to impose the tax.  The bill also
clarifies that the tax is in addition to any hotel tax imposed by
the City of Kansas City.
