No one is trying to stop STRS. It is illegal because we are a free enterprise state. With this bill, an owner must register their rental with their local government. It addresses how many can occupy the home (two per room) and someone must be available 24 hrs a day to address complaints. It imposes fines and possible suspensions for those who do not abide by the new law.
It is not an attempt to curtail but to regulate. The state has no dominion over private property. They do have power to regulate a business. Many legislators are making certain that line is not crossed with this bill.
Simply put, the state cannot tell a homeowner he/she cannot rent their property. However, they can regulate their decision to operate a business.
