Senate Bill 1080 aims to amend the current regulations governing the short-term rental of residential dwellings in Wisconsin. The bill seeks to repeal several provisions that limit the authority of political subdivisions, such as cities and towns, to regulate these rentals. Specifically, it removes restrictions that prevent local governments from prohibiting rentals for seven consecutive days or longer and from limiting the rental of certain residential properties to fewer than 180 days per year.

In addition to repealing these limitations, the bill consolidates and renumbers existing legal language related to the definition of political subdivisions. The title of the statute is also amended to reflect the changes, removing the word "Limits" and replacing it with "Residential" to better represent the focus of the law. Overall, this legislation would grant local governments greater flexibility in regulating short-term rentals within their jurisdictions.
