Local hospitality boards.

Allows the Delaware County executive to adopt an ordinance to consolidate the functions of a board, bureau, commission, authority, or any other similar entity (former entity) authorized to administer funds received from the Delaware County: (1) innkeeper's tax; or (2) food and beverage tax; into a single, consolidated entity as designated in the consolidating ordinance. Specifies that if a consolidating ordinance is adopted, each former entity is abolished on the date the ordinance is adopted, the term of a member serving on each former entity ends on the date the ordinance is adopted, and a subsequent ordinance may not be adopted to restore a former entity and transfer the powers, duties, and responsibilities of innkeeper's tax and food and beverage tax administration back to the former entity. Sets forth transitional provisions that must be included in the ordinance.
