Authorizes a transient guest tax for tourism purposes in Lexington

HB 2433 would allow qualifying cities and counties in Kentucky to impose a transient guest tax (a tax on short-term lodging like hotels) to fund tourism initiatives. It specifies detailed population and classification requirements for jurisdictions to qualify, including Lexington if it meets the listed criteria (such as population size and county classification). The tax would directly affect visitors staying in participating areas and local governments managing tourism revenue. The bill is currently in early stages (prefiled and read for first time), so no tax would be implemented until enacted. This is a procedural framework bill, not a specific tax for Lexington alone.
