Committee adopts substitute for House Bill 109 as working document; sponsors say it protects property rights and limits retroactive bans on short-term rentals
Summary
Vice Chair Lorenz moved that Sub House Bill 2014 serve as the working document for House Bill 109; the committee adopted the substitute with no recorded objection.
Vice Chair Lorenz moved to accept Sub House Bill 2014 as the working document for House Bill 109 and explained the substitute’s objectives to the committee.
Lorenz said the substitute is the product of stakeholder feedback and is intended to protect property rights while preventing local governments from imposing retroactive bans on short-term rentals. He said the substitute adds sales-tax provisions and visitor bureau funding, incorporates auditor, township and hotel association provisions discussed in informational meetings, and creates regulation and suspension powers without retroactive bans.
The committee adopted the substitute as the working document with no recorded objections; the chair recorded the adoption as the bill’s second hearing, and the Development Committee adjourned.
