Bill > HB6243

This bill, titled the Short-Term Residential Rental Property Act, aims to establish consistent regulations and taxation for short-term rentals, such as those booked through platforms like AirBnB. It defines key terms like "short-term residential rental property" (a dwelling or unit rented for short periods), "host" (the person managing the rental), "guest" (the renter), and "platform" (the online service connecting hosts and guests), along with "platform administrator" (the company operating the platform). The core provisions state that local governments cannot regulate these short-term rentals more strictly than they regulate bed and breakfast establishments, and they cannot tax these rentals, their hosts, or guests at a higher rate than hotels, hotel operators, or hotel guests are taxed. This Act is intended to limit the ability of local governments, including those with home rule powers, to impose more restrictive rules or taxes on short-term rentals than what is outlined in this legislation.
