Regards short-term rentals, electronic real estate licenses
This bill updates state laws to allow local governments, such as cities and counties, to regulate short-term rentals like Airbnb and VRBO. It defines these rentals as properties offered to travelers for thirty days or less and permits local authorities to set rules on noise, occupancy limits, safety, insurance, and emergency contact availability. However, the legislation explicitly prevents local governments from banning short-term rentals entirely or using a lottery system to grant access to them. Additionally, the bill mandates that all real estate licenses issued by the state must be in electronic format rather than on paper.
