Florida State Senate Passes Bill to Regulate Short-Term Vacation Rentals

Florida State Senate passed a legislative proposal giving authorities more power to regulate short-term vacation rentals, imposing new statewide requirements and overruling city and county regulations since 2016. The bill, SB 280, includes limits on occupancy, registration requirements, and fines for non-compliance. The controversial measure was passed by the Florida Senate and House and awaits Governor Ron DeSantis' decision.
