What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

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.
