(3) identify a mechanism for short-term rental registration with the Department of Revenue to track short-term rental usage and tax revenue; and
(4) provide recommendations on best practices to mitigate the impacts on housing stock and infrastructure needs.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the study include input from appropriate stakeholders.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that if the study is assigned to staff, any findings or conclusions be presented to and reviewed by an appropriate committee designated by the Legislative Council.
