Bill Summary
Current law limits a political subdivision’s authority to regulate the short term rental of residences. Specifically, under current law, a political subdivision may not prohibit the rental of a residence for seven consecutive days or longer and, in general, may not limit the rental of certain residential properties to fewer than 180 days in a year. This bill eliminates these limitations on a political subdivision’s authority.
AI Summary
This bill removes existing state limitations that prevent local governments, referred to as "political subdivisions" (which include cities, villages, towns, and counties), from regulating short-term rentals of residential properties. Previously, these local governments were generally prohibited from banning rentals of seven consecutive days or longer and from restricting rentals of certain properties to fewer than 180 days per year. By repealing these specific restrictions, the bill grants political subdivisions the full authority to decide how to regulate short-term rentals within their jurisdictions.
