Bill > SB110

This bill creates a new section of Kentucky Revised Statutes (KRS) Chapter 100 that limits local governments' ability to regulate short-term rentals. Specifically, the bill defines a "short-term rental" as any dwelling or space rented for less than 30 consecutive days and prohibits local governments from requiring conditional use permits for such rentals or imposing density-based restrictions. The bill prevents local governments from mandating minimum distances between short-term rentals or capping the number of short-term rentals in a specific area. However, local governments can still enforce general health and safety ordinances that apply equally to all residential properties, as long as these regulations do not specifically discriminate against short-term rentals. The legislation aims to standardize short-term rental regulations across Kentucky by removing local barriers that might restrict property owners' ability to offer short-term rentals, such as those commonly used for platforms like Airbnb or VRBO.
