Committee agrees to print Sen. Foreman request on short-term rentals

Senators on the Senate Judiciary & Rules Committee voted to send RS32466 — a request from Commerce Committee Chairman Dan Foreman on short-term rentals and local government interactions — to print for further consideration.

The measure was introduced by Chairman Foreman and described briefly at the start of the committee meeting as a request to print the proposal so it could proceed to the Commerce Committee. Committee members moved and seconded the request. Senator Wintrow recorded a reluctant no vote, saying she had received stakeholder contacts expressing dissension about the RS; the motion nonetheless carried and the RS was ordered printed and will return to Chairman Foreman’s committee for review.

The committee did not conduct extended debate or receive public testimony on RS32466 at this meeting. Details of the text to be printed, stakeholder positions, or next committee scheduling were not specified during the discussion.

Committee action on the RS clears the procedural step of printing the request; substantive consideration would occur after the RS is printed and assigned to the Commerce Committee for bill drafting or further hearings.
