(Salem, OR) -- A bill changing how Transient Lodging Tax dollars can be used is advancing in Salem. It would allow local governments to divert up to 60 percent of that revenue collected by hotels and short-term rentals to the general fund. The other 40 percent must be spent on tourism and marketing efforts. Currently, 70 percent of those dollars must be spent on tourism promotion. The bill passed the state House 31-23. It now goes to the Senate.
