Extends the village of Woodbury's authority to impose a hotel and motel tax
This bill extends the Village of Woodbury's existing authority to collect a hotel and motel tax for two additional years. It amends the expiration date of the current tax law, which was set to end in 2027, to now expire in 2029. The extension directly affects hotels and motels operating within Woodbury, allowing them to continue paying this local tax without change to the rate or collection process. The bill was passed by both legislative chambers and signed into law on August 7, 2025.
