Modifies a provision authorizing a transient guest tax in certain cities
HB 699 allows certain Missouri cities (in first-class charter counties) to impose a 5-7% tax on hotel/motel rooms and campsite rentals for tourism promotion and community center operations, but only after voters approve it in an election. The tax must be listed separately on guest bills, and cities can collect it directly or through the state revenue department. It does not affect existing business license taxes on these businesses in non-charter counties. The tax becomes effective three months after voter approval.
