COMMERCE: Provides relative to regulations for short-term rentals

HB 469 would allow Louisiana municipalities and parishes to create local regulations for short-term rentals (defined as residential properties rented for less than 29 days). The bill gives local governments authority to require permits, registrations, safety inspections, occupancy limits, stay duration restrictions, and fines for misuse. It directly affects short-term rental owners and operators in communities that choose to implement such rules. The legislation provides a framework for local regulation but does not mandate specific rules, leaving implementation to individual municipalities or parishes. The bill is currently in early committee referral stages with no voting record yet.
