Official record
Mackinac Center Analysis
Creates the Short-Term Rentals Regulation Act that would permit counties to impose a tax on short-term rentals (AirBnb, VRBO, etc.) by adding those properties to the codes hotels are subjected to. This is part of a larger package imposing a new taxing and regulatory structure on short-term rentals to treat them like commercial properties and allowing local government to ban and heavily regulate them.
