Plain-language summary
Beta

This bill would prevent local governments in Kentucky from requiring short-term rental operators, such as those listing homes on vacation rental platforms, to get a special conditional use permit. It would also stop local governments from limiting how many short-term rentals can operate in a given area based on density rules. This changes the balance of authority between the state and local communities over how short-term rentals are regulated. Who it may affect: short-term rental owners and hosts, local governments, and residents in neighborhoods with short-term rental activity.
