PHOENIX Rejecting claims the measure amounts to little more than window dressing, a House panel voted Tuesday to give local governments more power to regulate short-term vacation rentals.
But just a bit.
SB 1379 allows communities to impose civil penalties for failure to provide local authorities with information on how to contact owners. They also can be sanctioned for failing to maintain liability insurance of at least $500,000.
And three violations within a 12-month period could end the owner s ability to rent out a house.
That was just fine with Airbnb whose lobbyist said he supports the measure.
