Cities and counties may limit overnight occupancy in vacation rentals and short-term rentals to two adults per sleeping area plus up to two additional persons, excluding minors from the count.

The timeframe for accumulating three verified violations that can trigger license suspension is extended from twelve months to twenty-four months.

Local governments may deny permit or license applications if the applicant has unpaid fines or civil penalties for vacation rental or short-term rental violations associated with that property.

Building code violations presenting serious threats to public health or safety, including unpermitted construction or unresolved fire code violations, are added as grounds for single-violation license suspension.

Counties and cities may adopt ordinances requiring sex offender background checks on booking guests, with the requirement waived if the online lodging marketplace performs the check.
