Committee rolls House Bill 477 on lodgers tax changes after member concerns about fiscal analysis
Summary
Representative Lundstrom requested HB 477 be rolled for interim work after questioning the fiscal impact report and the construction of the bill's language on 30‑day lodger exemptions; the committee agreed to roll the measure for further work.
Representative Lundstrom asked the committee to roll House Bill 477, a measure concerning lodgers tax treatment after 30‑day stays, citing concerns about the bill title, legislative drafting history and the fiscal impact report used in prior committee work. Lundstrom said the FIR presented total lodging tax receipts by municipality rather than amounts tied specifically to 30‑day stays and that the numbers thus gave a misleading picture of the bill—s local fiscal effect.
Members agreed to roll the bill so staff and sponsors could refine the language and engage with analysts. The committee did not vote on the measure; sponsors and the committee chair said staff would take the item into the interim for additional work.
