Submission + - Indiana Lawmakers Consider Prohibiting Local Airbnb Bans (usnews.com)
El Cubano writes: US News and World Report is running an AP story regarding legislation being considered in Indiana. The proposed legislation would prohibit local government in the state from banning Airbnb rentals by their residents. There are exceptions for home owner associations (which will still be allowed to ban rentals in their communities) and 180 per year cap.
It is interesting to see something like this being considered at the state level. Supporters say that they are trying to prevent knee-jerk regulations and to protect an innovative emerging market. At the same time, local authorities are upset that they will no longer have the option to make the determination for themselves.
