IL SB1735

Prohibits local governments from enacting ordinances that ban or effectively prohibit short-term rentals, defined as residential units rented for less than 30 consecutive days.

Allows local regulation of short-term rentals only to protect public health, safety, building/fire codes, sanitation, traffic control, and hazardous waste management, or to prevent use by sex offenders, criminal activity, or illegal commercial purposes.

Prevents local governments from taxing short-term rental marketplaces or requiring them to collect taxes from owners or occupants, though marketplaces may voluntarily collect and remit taxes if authorized.

Restricts short-term rentals from being taxed at the same rate as commercial transient lodgings like hotels within the same taxing jurisdiction.

Limits home rule authority of local governments to regulate short-term rentals or marketplaces in ways inconsistent with this Act, effective immediately upon passage.
