The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5234, aims to establish a fee on short-term rental properties. This fee is intended to generate revenue that will be distributed proportionally to municipalities, thereby providing them with additional financial resources. The bill seeks to amend the general statutes to incorporate this new fee structure.

The statement of purpose clearly outlines the intent of the bill, which is to create a financial mechanism that benefits local governments through the revenue generated from short-term rentals. There are no deletions from current law mentioned in the text, indicating that this bill introduces new provisions without removing existing legal language.
