Overview
This bill aims to ensure access to short-term rentals during emergencies and special events by establishing a public registration system for short-term rental facilitators. It requires the Office of Emergency Services and the Office of Tourism to create and administer these registration systems, allowing registered dwellings to be rented out during declared emergencies or special event periods. The bill also prohibits local governments from enacting laws that restrict short-term rentals registered under this system, applying statewide rather than just to individual cities.
