Taxation: convention tourism assessments; assessment fee; increase. Amends sec. 3 of 1980 PA 383 (MCL 141.883).

This law allows nonprofit bureaus in Michigan counties with over 1.5 million people to charge fees to hotel and short-term rental owners to fund local tourism marketing. The fee rates are capped at 3% through 2024, 3.5% from 2025 to 2030, and 4% starting in 2031, but bureaus cannot charge in counties that already have a similar tax. Before the fee takes effect, the bureau must mail a notice to affected owners and wait 40 days unless at least 40% of owners or rooms request a vote. If requested, a vote is held where each room counts as one vote, and the fee only becomes active if a majority approves it.
