Florida GOP Plans to Limit Local Government Authority on Regulations

News summary

Florida Republican lawmakers are advancing over 50 bills aimed at limiting the power of local governments, with proposals that include banning local diversity programs and asserting state dominance over city policies. Critics argue these measures reflect a broader trend of state governments overreaching into local governance, drawing comparisons to actions taken during Trump's presidency. In Kentucky, a recent amendment to Senate Bill 61 now prohibits cities from regulating the density of short-term rentals, stirring frustration among local mayors who feel their ability to manage these properties is being undermined. Similarly, in British Columbia, concerns have been raised regarding a new provincial short-term rental registry that adds substantial fees for local operators, prompting complaints about its impact on tourism. Local leaders across various states are increasingly vocal about the challenges posed by state-level interventions in local governance, particularly in relation to short-term rental regulations. The situation highlights a growing tension between state lawmakers and local authorities over control and policy-making.
