Charter Change/Millville/Town of/Lodging Tax

What it does

The legislature's own summary of the bill, or its official long title.

This Act amends the Charter of the Town of Millville to restore the authority of the Town Council to impose and collect a lodging tax. This authority to impose and collect a lodging tax was enacted under Senate Bill No. 162 (150th) in 2019 but was inadvertently repealed under House Bill No. 138 (151st) in 2021. This Act requires a greater than majority vote for passage because § 1 of Article IX of the Delaware Constitution requires the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the members elected to each house of the General Assembly to amend a charter issued to a municipal corporation.
