Nine days ago, we sent you an alert asking you to weigh in with your House members about HF 2131, you responded, and HF 2131 passed the House yesterday, 75-23!! 

Just to remind you, under current law, a person renting a room is exempt from paying the hotel/motel tax on any stay that exceeds 31 days.  Once they exceed 31 days, they are not responsible for paying ANY tax on their stay.  The bill TFI supports, HF 2131, would extend this to 90 days to prevent organizations from gaming the system to avoid paying the tax. 

In the closing days of this session, this bill needs to be passed by BOTH the Senate Ways & Means Committee and then the full Iowa Senate.  With time beginning to run short, we need your help!!

Please take a moment to contact your Senator NOW in support of
House File 2131!
