Why this matters
Short-term rentals sit at the intersection of local zoning authority, housing supply, and small-scale hosting income. Clarifying in statute that municipalities cannot impose a total ban preserves a revenue stream for property owners and operators while constraining local governments’ ability to use zoning as a blanket prohibition, shifting the regulatory conversation toward permitted restrictions and registration.
