H1019 authorizes McDowell County to impose an additional 1% room occupancy tax and allows Caswell and Pender Counties to create taxing districts with the authority to levy a 3% room occupancy tax in certain areas.
The North Carolina State House of Representatives passed H1019 on June 11, 2024 by a vote of 112 to 0. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this legislation enables further taxation — placing additional financial burdens on individuals already overtaxed by big government. Such measures not only strain taxpayers, but also contribute to the expansion of government. Legislators should prioritize cutting taxes and reducing government intrusion into people’s lives.
