Local Governments Need Your Help on Hotel/Motel Tax Changes!!

As you probably know, 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.  TFI has been supporting efforts ( HF 2131) to extend this to 90 days to prevent organizations from gaming the system to avoid paying the tax. 

This bill was approved by the House Ways & Means Committee on a 24-1 vote back in the last week of January, but has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives.  With time beginning to run short, we need your help!!

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