Regulation of Vacation Rentals, HB 1011 and SB 1128

It’s not the first time a bill regulating vacation rentals has been proposed by the Legislature, and it’s likely not the last. On the heels of last session’s failed Senate Bill 824 comes Senate Bill 1128 and the companion House Bill 1011, both of which again seek to preempt the regulation of vacation rentals to the state by prohibiting local laws and ordinances on short-term vacation rentals.  Announced today, HB 1011 is up for vote in the Government Operations subcommittee on February 4, 2020.
