PA HB2303

Establishes three categories of short-term rentals in Pennsylvania: "homestays" (owner's primary residence rented up to 30 days/year while owner is absent), "vacation rentals" (fewer than 10 properties, owner not present), and "corporate STR operators" (10+ properties or multiple properties under common control)

Requires annual county permits for all short-term rental operators, with homestays needing proof of primary residence, and vacation rentals and corporate operators required to carry at least $500,000 liability insurance per occurrence

Mandates corporate STR operators install smoke/carbon monoxide detectors with remote monitoring capability, noise monitoring devices, and exterior-only video surveillance at building entrances

Requires booking services (like Airbnb) to submit monthly reports to the Department of Community and Economic Development, verify permit status before listing properties, and collect/remit all state and local hotel occupancy taxes

Authorizes civil penalties up to $2,000 per violation, with compliance deadlines of 12 months for homestays and 6 months for vacation rentals and corporate operators after the act takes effect in 180 days
