That's a bit of an over simplification, but basically the situation in my opinion.
Sounds like a great idea, but the Florida legislature would never go for it. "Rentals" are what runs the Florida's economy.

I don’t believe that’s quite accurate. Cities and counties may adopt regulations on short term rental to fit their needs. The City of St Augustine is a good example. They’ve set limits for occupancy, minimum stay requirements, health requirements, safety requirements, and set registration fees. Here’s a link to the website.
Short Term Rentals | St. Augustine, FL
On the state level shortterm rentals are to have business licenses and pay sales tax on every dollar earned. Of course most don’t.
