Authorizes Washington County to submit a question to the voters on a transient guest tax for tourism purposes

HB 1765 allows Washington County (with specific population requirements) to ask voters whether to impose a 0.5% tax on hotel and motel stays for tourism promotion. The bill requires the county's governing body to submit a specific ballot question to voters, which must pass by majority vote to take effect. If approved, the tax would be added to room charges, must be listed separately, and funds could only be used for tourism marketing. The tax would not become active without voter approval through this process.
