Leaders in both Chambers understood the request and compared it to a fix completed for manufacturers in recent years. While a change to the tax code for hotel room preparation is currently in a standalone a bill, legislators recommended the Association lobbying team seek ways to propose the idea as part of one of the larger tax bills currently being considered.
The IHLA lobbying team is proactively seeking avenues for an amendment. A second bill being closely followed and supported by the IHLA would update hotel inspection codes. This bill would remove the requirement of biennial inspections by the Department of Inspection and Appeals and instead codify a complaint-based model which is in line with current practice. The IHLA has registered in favor of this change.
