2021 House Bill 4722: Ban disparate regulations on Airbnb-type rentals
Introduced by Rep. Sarah Lightner R-Springport on April 27, 2021

The bill would permit local regulations on noise, advertising, traffic, nuisances, dwelling capacity, inspections, fees and taxes otherwise permitted by law.   Official Text and Analysis.
