Purpose, from the sponsor's memo

This is a chapter amendment to L.2024, c.672, to require each county that does not have their own short term rental registry to create and maintain a short-term rental registry unless they enact a local law opting out of the registry. The chapter amendment further establishes regulations around such registry, including the establishment of fees and enforcement. The bill also establishes a taxation regime for short term rentals.

The sponsor's argument

Why Michelle Hinchey says this is needed

This legislation is a negotiated change to the underlying chapter.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
