Bill > SB299

This bill proposes to enact two new sections in the Ohio Revised Code. The first section requires real estate licenses to be issued in an electronic format. The second section authorizes local governments to regulate short-term rental properties, such as vacation rentals, for purposes like noise, occupancy limits, and health and safety, but prohibits local governments from outright banning short-term rentals or creating lottery systems to allocate short-term rental registrations. The bill also specifies that any fees associated with short-term rental registration must be reasonable and used only for enforcement of regulations on such properties.
