AI Generated Summary

Purpose of the Bill

The primary goal of this bill is to remove the expiration date for a local lodging tax imposed by the city of Plymouth, Minnesota. This tax was originally scheduled to expire, but the bill allows it to continue indefinitely.

Main Provisions

  • The bill authorizes the city council of Plymouth to impose a local lodging tax up to three percent. This is in addition to existing taxes permitted under state law.
  • The total tax amount from all lodging taxes combined should not exceed six percent.
  • Revenue from this tax is to be allocated as follows:
    • Two-thirds of the revenue must support capital improvements for public recreational facilities and the marketing and promotion of the community.
    • The remaining one-third is to be used for similar purposes as outlined in Minnesota Statutes pertaining to local lodging taxes.

Significant Changes to Existing Law

  • The original expiration date for the Plymouth lodging tax, which was set to either ten years after it was first imposed or by December 31, 2030, has been removed. This change allows the tax to remain in effect without a specified end date unless further legislative action is taken.

Relevant Terms

  • Local lodging tax
  • City of Plymouth
  • Public recreational facilities
  • Marketing and promotion
  • Capital improvements
