This bill amends existing regulations concerning short-term rental properties by establishing specific provisions for counties and cities with populations greater than seventy-five thousand. Under the new law, such counties and cities are prohibited from adopting or enforcing any regulations, restrictions, or ordinances related to short-term rental properties, including conditional use permit requirements. Additionally, these jurisdictions cannot require a license or permit fee for short-term rental properties, which will be classified as residential land use for zoning purposes.

The bill effectively narrows the scope of current law, which applies to all counties and cities, by limiting these prohibitions to those with populations exceeding seventy-five thousand. This change aims to provide more flexibility for smaller jurisdictions in regulating short-term rentals while maintaining a consistent framework for larger populations.
