Assembly Bill 1050 seeks to amend the current regulations governing the short-term rental of residential dwellings in Wisconsin. The bill proposes to repeal several existing limitations that restrict political subdivisions from regulating these rentals. Specifically, it removes the prohibitions against renting a residence for seven consecutive days or longer and the general limitation that prevents local governments from restricting certain residential properties to fewer than 180 rental days per year.

In addition to repealing these limitations, the bill consolidates and renumbers certain sections of the law for clarity. The title of the statute is amended to reflect the change from "Limits on residential dwelling rental prohibited" to simply "Residential dwelling rental." The bill also clarifies the definition of a political subdivision, ensuring that it encompasses any city, village, town, or county. Overall, this legislation aims to provide local governments with greater authority to regulate short-term rentals in their jurisdictions.
