HB 654 (2017)
Summary:
Limits how much municipalities can regulate short-term rentals, and allows a "lodging marketplace" - such as Airbnb - to be licensed by the state to collect meals and rooms taxes on behalf of vacation and short-term rentals. The bill was amended to instead establish a committee to study the regulation and taxation of vacation rentals and short-term rentals. A conference committee added back in limits on local regulation of short-term rentals.
