Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee:Bill Text
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
SECTION 1.
Section 16005 is added to the Business and Professions Code, to read:16005.
(a) An ordinance, policy, or program enacted by a city, including a charter city, that regulates or licenses the rental of residential units for tourist or transient-use occupancy within the coastal zone, as defined by Section 30103 of the Public Resources Code, through a hosting platform, as defined by Section 22590, shall not be considered development within the meaning of Section 30106 of the Public Resources Code.SEC. 2.
Section 16106 is added to the Business and Professions Code, to read:16106.
(a) An ordinance, policy, or program enacted by a county, including a charter county, that regulates or licenses the rental of residential units for tourist or transient-use occupancy within the coastal zone, as defined by Section 30103 of the Public Resources Code, through a hosting platform, as defined by Section 22590, shall not be considered development within the meaning of Section 30106 of the Public Resources Code.SEC. 3.
The Legislature finds and declares that Section 1 of this act adding Section 16005 of the Business and Professions Code addresses a matter of statewide concern rather than a municipal affair as that term is used in Section 5 of Article XI of the California Constitution. Therefore, Section 1 of this act applies to all cities, including charter cities.A hosting platform shall provide the following notice to an offeror that lists a residence for short-term rental on the hosting platform:
(a)If you are a tenant who is listing a room, home, mobilehome, condominium, or apartment, please refer to your rental contract or lease, or contact your landlord, prior to listing the property to determine whether your lease or contract contains restrictions that would limit your ability to list your room, home, mobilehome, condominium, or apartment. Listing your room, home, mobilehome, condominium, or apartment may be a violation of your lease or
contract, and could result in legal action against you by your landlord, including possible eviction.
(b)You should review any restrictions on coverage under your homeowners’ or renters’ insurance policy related to short-term rental activities to ensure that there is appropriate insurance coverage in the event that a person sustains an injury or loss for which you are responsible, a person damages or causes loss to your personal or real property, or a claim or lawsuit is made against you or otherwise arises out of activities related to this hosting platform.
