The bill increases local oversight on STR, short term rentals, with penalties of registration suspension.

Maybe will help flush some STRs out of the system.

It's a reaction to the AirBnB lawsuits all over the United States. States/municipalities want AirBnB to collect taxes. AirBnB says they're an innocent 3rd party.

While the bill re-iterates local jurisdiction's authority to issue and/or suspend licenses and such, the primary motivation seems to be an effort to make sure Florida gets all the taxes its due.
