A
Thank

both
presenting
bills
in
other
committees,
but
with
that
we
do
have
a
quorum.
So
we
are
going
to
get
started
well.
A
Okay,
bps,
I'm
hearing
that
no
one
can
hear
me
it's
on.
A
A
Okay,
it's
too
big
it's
too
long.
The
the
desks
are
not
made
for
short
people,
so
anyway,
welcome
to
this
afternoon's
hearing
on
revenue.
A
Our
meetings
are
regularly
scheduled
for
4
p.m,
on
tuesdays
and
thursdays,
although
for
the
next
couple
of
weeks
that
will
be
somewhat
up
in
the
air,
so
pay
attention
to
the
schedule,
please
just
some
housekeeping
before
we
begin
members
and
presenters,
please
silence
your
electronic
devices,
courtesy
and
respect
in
our
interactions
during
the
meeting
is
required
additionally,
courtesy
and
respect
when
working
with
staff.
Before
and
after
the
meetings
is
required,
committee
members
will
be
using
our
laptops
and
possibly
other
screens
and
devices
to
partici
view
exhibits.
A
So
due
to
that,
you
may
see
members
looking
at
different
screens.
That
type
of
thing,
please
don't
take
that
as
a
sign
of
disrespect
or
inattention,
we're
just
trying
to
juggle
everything.
We've
got
on
our
multiple
screens
as
a
reminder
and
as
stated
in
our
agenda,
we
will
have
public
comment
which
will
occur
at
the
end
of
the
hearing
at
the
end
of
the
meeting
and
may
be
limited
in
duration
and
details
on
how
to
participate
during
public
comment
are
available
on
nellis,
which
you
can
get

the
legislature's

A
Opposition
to
a
bill
or
resolution
is
means
that
you're
not
supporting
the
measure
as
written
or
you're
opposing
the
measure,
as
revised
by
an
amendment
that
has
not
been
approved
by
the
sponsor
of
the
measure
and
a
neutral
position
on
a
bill
means
that
you're
just
offering
particular
insight
on
the
measure
but
you're
expressing
no
position
on
the
measure.
So
as
an
example,
if
you
love
a
bill,
but
you
want
to
change
anything
in
the
way
that
it's
written
and
you
don't
have
an
amendment-
that's
been
accepted
by
the
sponsor.
A

you,

of

to

bill

which
revises
provisions
governing
transient

to

revenue.
Please
go
ahead
when
you're
ready.
F
Thank
you
good
afternoon,
chair
cohen
and
members
of
the
revenue
committee
for
the
record.
I
am
assemblywoman
roshal
wynn,
I
represent
assembly
district
10..
I
would
also
be
presenting
with
assemblyman
tom
roberts,
but
I
thought
he
was
going
to
be
in
another
department,
but
he
can
just
wave
over
there
as
a
support
section
on
your
committee.
F
He
will
be
amended
as
a
part
of
the
conceptual
amendments
onto
assembly,
bill
363
as
well.
So
I
guess
you're
just
gonna
hear
from
me
today
and
a
couple
of
other
supporters
of
assembly
bill
363.
for
the
record.
I
want
to
say
that
this
is
a
bipartisan
effort
that
is
such
because
it
affects
all
of
nevadans.
F
F
F
To
give
you
a
little
background
on
assembly,
bill
363
and
the
inspiration
that
I
took
from
creating
this
bill
and
the
language
and
the
intent
that's
uncontained
in
it,
it
didn't
come
from
industry
players,
it
didn't
come
from
anyone.
It
actually
came
from
my
own
personal
experience.
F
As
many
of
you
know,
I
have
a
very
large
multi-generational
family
that
all
lives
with
me.
It
is
me
my
husband,
my
two
kids,
my
father,
my
father-in-law
and,
of
course
neil
our
spoiled
dog,
and
when
we
travel,
we
predominantly
use
strs
as
having
multiple
hotel
rooms,
doesn't
always
work
for
us,
especially
when
we
all
travel
together.
F
But
additionally,
I
have
personal
experience
because
of
my
district
and
my
own
home
district
and
where
my
home
is
located
within
assembly
district
10..
We
are
in
super
close
proximity
to
downtown
las
vegas,
as
well
as
the
las
vegas
strip.
My
district's
close
proximity
to
the
tourist
corridor
and
its
lack
of
hoas
and
gated
communities
means
that
my
neighborhood,
like
others
in
clark
county
and
around
the
state
of
nevada,
is
ripe
for
strs
and
not
just
party
houses,
although
we
do
have
those
in
our
neighborhood
as
well.
F
So
about
18
months
ago
I
started
reaching
out
to
community
members
who
are
having
troubles
with
party
homes
in
their
neighborhoods.
Talking
to
people
about
affordability
of
housing
issues,
housing
shortages
in
our
community.
I
met
with
police
chiefs
about
the
problems
in
party
homes
and
unregulated
strs.
F
F
I
know
you
will
hear
from
many
of
them
today.
I
know
many
of
them
have
reached
out
to
you
via
email
from
our
state,
as
well
as
other
states
that
are
looking
to
come
and
invest.
So
what
are
my
intentions
with
this
bill?
One
looking
around
the
state
and
within
clark
county.
I
realized
that
it
was
unclear
for
those
looking
to
get
involved
in
either
investing
in
strs
or
even
staying
in
strs,
what
kind
of
the
rules
and
what
was
going
on
and
how
we
were
handling
them
in
our
state.
F
There
were
other
jurisdictions
and
localities
that
had
very
restrictive
things
like
owner
occupied,
so
you
could
only
have
strs
if
they
were
like
a
bed
and
breakfast
type
situation,
or
there
were
jurisdictions
that
had
thousand
foot
setbacks
between
str's,
no
use
of
pools
and
quiet
hours
and
other
regulatory
things
that
they
had
put
in
place.
So
I
quickly
realized
that
I
felt
like
nevadans
needed
some
clarity.
F
I
don't
believe
bans
work
and,
despite
what
some
of
the
emails
say
and
that
you
have
received,
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
counties
and
cities
could
not
ban
them.
I
don't
think
they
work.
I
think
we
are
missing
out
on
the
potential
revenue
and
it
makes
it
difficult
for
our
out
counties
and
cities
to
enforce.
F
You
know
what
is
being
perpetrated
in
our
communities
with
these,
like
you
know,
investment
properties
number
two.
The
bill
also
seeks
to
see
it
set
some
standards
for
collecting
uncollected
revenue,
room
tax
revenue
parity
right
now
I
suggest
you
look
at
your
app
for
airbnb
or
home
away
or
verbo
or
any
of
the
other
types.
Apps
are
going
onto
the
website
and
you
will
see
hundreds
if
not
thousands
of
listings,
most
of
them
operating
unlawfully.
F
We
are
not
collecting
those
taxes.
We
are
not
collecting
that
revenue,
and
so
I
believe
that
there
does
need
to
be
parity
in
this
situation.
F
Third,
this
bill
also
seeks
to
protect
nevadans,
protect
our
resorts
and
neighborhood
gaming
companies
who
have
invested
in
our
communities
and
our
state
protect
our
workers,
who
are
employed
and
have
fought
hard
to
make
sure
they
have
safe
working
conditions
within
those
resorts
and
also
seek
to
protect
nevadans
from
rising
housing
costs
associated
with
unregulated
proliferation
of
strs.
F
F
I
think
the
enforcement,
the
civil
enforcement
to
give
our
local
jurisdictions
some
authority
to
be
able
to
impose
civil-
I
guess,
penalties
on
some
of
these
properties
that
are
acting
unlawfully
or
recklessly,
rather
than
take
you
through
the
17
pages
of
the
bill
section
by
section.
Many
of
you
know
that
I
have
been
working
with
a
hugely
diverse
group
of
stakeholders
on
the
issue
over
the
past
18
months.
F
I
was
looking
at
my
notes
just
the
other
day
and
it
looks
like
I've
taken
over
72
documented
meetings,
phone
calls
and
zoom
calls
over
the
past
like
18
months,
and
I
still
have
meetings
scheduled
for
later
this
week
and
into
the
next
week
with
those
same
stakeholders,
and
today
I
am
proud
of
the
diverse
group
of
individuals
and
organizations
that
are
here
in
support
and
I'm
also
proud
to
work
with
those
people
that
know
that
I
will
continue
to
reach
out
with
them
to
see
how
where
we
can
get
to
a
a
good
bill.
F
Is
it
going
to
be
a
perfect
bill?
No
no
bill
exists,
but
it
is
definitely
a
step
in
the
right
direction.
Again.
I
apologize
for
the
amendments
you
will
should
see
them.
I
believe
they've
been
uploaded
to
nellis.
At
this
point
I
will
start
out
with
because
of
the
diverse
nature
of
the
state.
I
felt
like
one
of
the
biggest
things
that
I
had
to
do
in
order
to
you
know
start
the
conversation
on
str's
is.
F
I
do
intend
on
amending
to
include
a
population
cap
of
700
000,
while
I
believe
that
strs
are
an
issue
for
an
entire
state
at
this
time,
the
unique
nature
geographically,
physically
and
even
politically,
of
areas
of
our
state.
Many
of
the
provisions
that
are
currently
contained
in
ab363
just
don't
make
sense
for
everyone
at
this
time.
F
However,
I
am
committed
to
continue
to
work
with
these
jurisdictions
moving
forward
to
make
sure
again,
a
lot
of
the
other
conceptual
amendments
were
meant
to
streamline
the
process
for
other
local
jurisdictions
as
well
give
needed
clarity
to
other
sections
where
it
was
lacking
again.
This
kind
of
concludes
my
portion
of
the
presentation
for
assembly
bill
363..
F
I
would
like
you
want
to
say
something:
would
you
like
to
go
after
virginia
okay?
At
this
time
it
looks
like
we
have
assemblyman
roberts
that
would
like
to
also
give
a
presentation
in
chair
cohn,
with
your
permission,
after
assemblyman
roberts,
if
we
can
have
virginia
valentine,
who
I
see
on
the
zoom,
with
the
nevada
resort
association
and
then
jim
sullivan
of
culinary
local
226.
B
The
revenue
committee
for
the
record,
assemblyman
tom
roberts
assembly,
district
13
in
southern
nevada,
I'll
just
say
a
few
brief
words
and
I'll
turn
it
over
to
virginia
valentine.
Look
the
reason
I.
B
Is
I
know
from
my
law
enforcement
times
that
str's
and
the
bans
that
we
have
in
clark
county
provide
a
number
of
issues
for
neighborhoods
throughout
the
valley
and
our
police
officers?
Don't
have
the
tools
necessary
to
to
police
those?
Neither
neither
do
code
enforcement
and
I
think,
by
putting
some
of
this
in
state
statute
and
having
some
of
the
systems
in
place
to
allow
for
us
to
cooperate
or
law
enforcement
to
cooperate
with
these
companies
so
that
we
can
identify
the
folks
that
are
that
are
operating
underground.
B
Although
we
don't
have
a
significant
law
enforcement
piece
in
this
virtual
amendment.
Yet
I
can
tell
you
that
we're
working
on
on
that
and
we
we
will
work
to
get
something
that
code
enforcement
and
our
local
law
enforcement
aren't
are
supportive
of.
I
think,
you'll
find
that,
just
by
her
testimony
and
some
of
the
some
of
the
the
people.
G
G
B
Found
a
real
good
middle
ground.
You
know
that
not
everybody's
happy
and
it's.
B
Turn
it
over
to
to
miss
valentine
so
that
she
can
make
her
presentation.
Thank.
G
G
Thank
you
for
the
record.
My
name
is
virginia
valentine
and
I'm
president
of
the
nevada
resort
association
good
afternoon,
madam
chair
chairwoman,
cohen
and
committee
members.
It's
an
honor
to
be
here
to
present
to
participate
in
presenting
this
bill
with
assemblyman
win
assembly
woman
off
to
a
good
start
here.
G
We
appreciate
assembly
women's
willingness
to
work
with
us
to
create
effective
legislation
that
protects
consumers,
preserves
residential
neighborhoods
and
affordable
housing
and
addresses
illegal
short-term
rental
market
and
the
subsequent
millions
of
dollars
in
lost
task
tax
revenue.
This
bill
establishes
consistent
requirements
and
creates
a
level
playing
field
by
regulating
and
taxing
these
commercial
operations.
G
Similarly
to
other
highly
regulated
public
accommodation
facilities,
it
also
contains
the
necessary
enforcement
measures
to
ensure
compliance.
Nevada's
resort
industry
prides
itself
on
being
the
gold
standard
in
hospitality
and
we
are
held
to
strict
regulations
to
ensure
that
we
are
protecting
the
health
and
safety
of
employees
and
guests
and
meeting
the
very
high
standards
expected
of
us.
G
As
you
know,
this
past
summer
the
legislature
passed
sb4,
which
enacted
even
stricter
regulations
for
public
accommodation
facilities
due
to
the
pandemic.
We
supported
the
measure
as
well
as
the
well-being
of
our
employees,
our
guests
and
that's
paramount.
We
and
incorporated
that
into
what
all
our
members
do
to
protect.
Nevada's
reputation
as
a
safe
and
welcoming
destination
ab363
includes
vital
consumer
protection
provisions
to
ensure
short-term
rentals
are
providing
safe
spaces
for
those
who
choose
to
stay
there
and
investing
in
appropriate
safeguards
at
the
lifeblood
of
nevada's
economy.
G
The
resort
industry
has
a
tremendous
responsibility
to
communities
across
the
state.
Gaming
was
legalized
60
years
ago
to
generate
tax
revenue,
protect
consumers
and
to
attract
tourists
to
nevada.
Today.
That
act
has
allowed
the
resort
gaming
industry
to
lead
the
state
by
being
the
largest
contributor
to
jobs,
tax
revenue,
capital,
investment
and
destination
marketing,
we
create
and
generate
jobs
and
invest
in
our
employees.
For
fiscal
year,
2020
the
tourism
industry
paid
more
than
58
billion
in
wages
and
health
benefits
to
employees.
G
The
industry
provides
high
quality
jobs,
with
good
salaries
that
lead
to
home
ownership
and
listening
to
our
employees.
We
know
the
affordable
housing
continues
to
be
the
top
of
their
mind
as
they
look
to
establish
roots
in
neighborhoods.
This
bill
will
help
just
these
concerns
in
finding
an
affordable
home
in
total,
more
than
443
000
jobs.
Statewide
are
supported
by
our
industry
due
to
our
robust
investments
in
our
properties,
amenities
and
associated
infrastructure,
with
more
than
15
billion
dollars
in
tourism
products
projects
the
development
pipeline.
G
Our
commitment
to
economic
development
and
growth
is
evident
as
the
state's
largest
taxpayer.
The
resort
industry
plays
a
long
list
of
general
business
and
industry-specific
taxes.
We
generate
34
of
the
state's
general
fund
revenue
and
paid
1.3
billion
in
industry
taxes
and
fees
in
fy,
20,
20
20.,
one
of
the
state's
most
beneficial
industry
tax
industry.
Specific
taxes
is
the
transient
lodging
tax
or
room
tax.
Southern
nevada
generates
nearly
90
percent
of
all
room
tax
generated
in
the
state
in
fiscal
year.
2020
southern
nevada
room
tax
alone
generated
596
million
dollars.
G
G
G
291
million
went
to
promoting
the
destination
by
funding
the
nevada
commission
on
tourism
and
the
lbcva,
as
well
as
supporting
critical
tourism
infrastructure
projects
like
the
las
vegas
visitor
and
convention
center's
expansion
and
the
las
vegas
stadium
authority
in
northern
nevada.
The
room
tax
generated
47.2
million
dollars.
G
North
and
south
will
benefit
from
the
additional
revenue
that
is
not
being
collected
today,
and
it
only
seems
fair
that
short-term
rentals
should
pay
their
share,
given
the
many
benefits
they
receive
from
the
destination
marketing
work
of
the
lbcda
and
the
rscba,
which
are
funded
by
room
tax,
the
closing
nevada's
resort
industry
continues
to
play
a
leading
role
in
nevada's
economy
by
investing
in
our
people
and
our
future.
We
believe
this
bill
will
continue
to
ensure
nevada's
tourism
industry
thrives
and
the
state
benefits
from
its
success.
G
E
Good
evening
committee,
my
name
is
jim
sullivan
j-I-m-s-u-l-l-I-v-a-n
and
I'm
representing
the
culinary
union.
The
culinary
union
has
been
advocating
for
enforceable
short-term
rental
regulations
and
multiple
level
levels
of
government
for
years
as
nevada's
largest
union,
an
organization
of
immigrants,
women,
latinx,
black
and
aapi
workers.
We
believe
that
our
state
must
consider
how
short-term
rentals
have
negatively
affected,
affordable
housing,
the
quality
of
life
problems
that
they
often
bring
to
residential
areas
and
ensuring
that
operators
play
by
the
same
rules
as
other
lodging
operators
when
considering
a
regulatory
framework
for
short-term
rentals.
E
E
E
E
E
A
Thank
you,
mr
sullivan.
So
assemblywoman
are
you
ready
for
questions,
or
I
think
that
was
everyone
you
had
speaking
I'm
ready.
A
Okay,
so
before
we
go
into
questions,
could
we
just
I
understand
this
has
been
a
work
in
progress
and
I
definitely
know
that
you've
been
meeting
with
people
constantly
and
that
it's
been
kind
of
a
moving
target,
but
so-
and
I
I
don't
want
you
to
go
through
all
17
pages,
but
can
you
just
give
us
the
3
000
foot
a
little,
maybe
go
down
to
20
000
and
give
us
just
a
little
more
so
so,
for
instance,
this
would
be
something
that
would
be
there'd
be
a
pop
cap,
but
so
within
clark
county.
A
This
would
be
all
of
clark
county
or
would
the
you
know,
municipalities
within
clark
county
have
any
control
would
what
are
we
doing
with
that.
F
I'll
I'll
tr
rochelle
win
for
the
record,
I
will
go
ahead
and
try
to
give
you
like
a
high-level
overview
of
it.
Thank
you.
I
know
that
many
of
your
committee
members
have
already
reached
out
to
me
with
some
of
their
questions
and
they'd,
be
happy
to
answer
those
to
like
create
a
more
substantial
legislative
record
as
well,
currently
clark
county.
Obviously,
the
majority
of
the
population
lives
in
clark
county
and
in
the
majority
of
clark,
county
str's
are
not
lost.
They're
banned.
F
These
folks
are
currently
skirting
the
law,
which
really
means
that
millions,
it's
millions
of
dollars
in
lost
revenue
for
nevadans
bans,
are
just
not
working
for
any
nevadans.
That's
my
opinion
on
it,
as
well
as
in
talking
to
people.
F
So
when
you
look
at
this,
I
actually
took
some
of
this
language
from
a
2017
bill
that
assemblywoman
irene
bustamante
had
brought
and
back
in
2017
it
looked
at
collecting
these
room
taxes
via
the
I
guess,
short-term
rental
platforms
for
lack
of
a
better
term,
so
they
would
do
it
and
actually
in
working
with
them-
and
I
see
some
of
them
either
here
to
testify
in
opposition
or
in
neutral,
have
been
very
helpful
in
kind
of
explaining
to
me
how
their
platforms
worked.
F
I
know
that
in
2017
a
lot
of
them
were
opposed
to
this
kind
of
like
tax,
like
revenue
collection,
like
process,
but
now
you
know,
we've
seen
technology
emerging,
we've
seen
them
go
into
markets
where
they
are
already
doing
this
and
they
are
doing
this
in
parts
of
our
state
already.
So
they
do
have
the
like
framework
already
internally
to
be
able
to
do
this.
So
a
portion
of
the
bill
is
a
bill
that
had
been
previously
introduced
and
I
think
in
2017
it
just
wasn't
the
right
time.
F
We
weren't
in
the
right
place
to
be
able
to
move
that
you
know
forward.
So
a
lot
of
that
goes
into
this
and,
in
fact,
my
conversations
with
most
of
the
major
platforms
that
like
have
short-term
rentals
on
them,
I
would
call
them
short-term
rental,
like
facilitator
platforms,
didn't
really
have
any
like
objection
to
that
kind
of
collection,
so
the
first
part
of
the
bill
kind
of
has
to
do
with
that
and
defining
what
that
means.
F
What
that
includes-
and
there
is
some
amendments
to
make
sure
that
we
are
capturing
not
just
those
short-term
facilitator
platforms,
recognizing
that
this
is
a
changing
kind
of
dynamic.
You
know
technology
that
people
are
using
and
getting
into
finding
loopholes,
finding
creative
ways
out
of
it.
So
we've
tried
to
keep
the
language
as
vague.
So
when
there
are
other
platforms
out
there
are
there
other
mechanisms
to
do
this,
we
will
be
able
to
also
collect
from
them
as
well.
F
What
we
are
trying
to
curb
is
like
this
proliferation
in
neighborhoods
of
short-term
rentals,
where
they
are
just
unlimited.
You
could
go
down
your
street
and,
like
I
had
said
during
my
initial
presentation,
where
you
would
have
a
situation
where
you
could
have
a
whole
street
of
short-term
rentals
that
you
would
be
living
on,
and
we
are
looking
to
curb
that
by
having
distance
requirements
of
500
feet
in
the
proposed
amendment
and
that's
a
360
degree
500
feet
as
well
as
that.
F
F
It
will
help
law
enforcement.
It
will
help
our
county
code
enforcement.
It
will
help,
you
know,
be
able
to
collect
those
like
un
collected
taxes
and
bring
some
parity
there.
F
I
also
wanted
to
recognize
that
in
some
of
our
neighborhood
community,
like
our
neighborhood
gaming
establishments,
you
know
they're
putting
a
real
investment
like
physically,
like
in
building
properties
and
housing.
You
know
sometimes
they
are
a
anchor
in
a
certain
neighborhood
as
far
as
business
and
industry
and
tourism
and
locals
that
are
working
there
and
are
contributing
to
the
economy.
So
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
there
weren't,
like
zones
around
them
that
were
just
people
were
not
staying
in
the
hotels
any
longer.
F
They
were
just
staying
in,
like
the
high-rise
communities
exclusively,
and
so
that's
kind
of
that
section
and
there's
some
distance
requirements,
requirements
about
not
having
events
and
parties
and
other
things,
and
that
was
aimed
at
curbing.
Like
large
gatherings
you
will.
F
You
might
hear
from
people
talking
about
how
some
of
these
short-term
rentals
are
used
to
have
huge
parties
where
there's
cover
charges
and
there's
day
parties,
and
you
will
hear
probably
from
some
neighbors
if
you
haven't
in
emails
where
people
are
illegally
or
unlawfully
installing
septic
tanks
to
accommodate,
like
large
banks
of
like
bathroom
facilities
at
some
of
their
properties,
and
so
some
of
these
regulations,
and
some
of
these
things
that
we've
incorporated
in
here
are
aimed
at
like
targeting
those
kind
of
bad
actors
and
some
of
the
the
requirement
on
room
nights.
F
You
know
that
had
been
amended
from
three
to
two
was
to
get
away
from
people
that
were
renting
a
house
for
a
party
night,
and
you
know
conducting
these
illegal,
like
parties
at
the
house,
and
they
would
typically
do
so
in
one
day
I
would-
and
I
still
still
do,
plan
on
increasing
some
of
the
enforcement
provisions.
F
As
you
heard,
assemblyman
roberts
talk
about,
I
know
when
I
reached
out
to
chuck
halloway
with
the
las
vegas
metropolitan
police
department,
as
well
as
cory
sulforino
up
in
washoe,
one
of
the
things
that
I
asked
them.
I
said:
what
can
we
do
to
like
make
this?
You
know
what
what
can
we
do
to
help
you
all
when
you
get
these
calls?
How
can
we
do
this
and
they
said
we
need
to
hold
the
owners
responsible
who
are
renting
these
properties?
F
They
have
found
that
in
most
cases
they
know
exactly
what's
going
on
at
their
properties
when
they're
rented,
especially
some
of
these
larger
properties
that
are
clearly
meant
for
parties
so,
like
I
said
this
is
a
very
ongoing
process
and
those
are
all
the
things
that
we
are
trying
to
incorporate
in
here.
So
I
hope
that's
a
high
enough
level
or
low
enough
level
overview
of
the
bill.
A
Thank
you.
I
do
just
want
to
kind
of
get
some
of
the
highlights
of
the
conceptual
amendment
as
well,
so
because
we
have
heard
from
from
many
nevadans
who
have
invested
a
lot
in
in
their
short-term
rentals
and
and
so
there's
going
to
be
a
grandfather
clause.
F
Sorry,
rochelle
win
for
the
record.
Thank
you
for
that
question,
madam
chair.
When
we
had
initially
drafted
the
language
and
talking
with
legal
and
talking
with
some
of
the
jurisdictions
that
already
had
like,
like
str
regulations
or
procedures
in
place
or
already
issued
licenses
or
permits
or
registrations
like
depending
on
where
you
are,
they
call
it
different
things.
F
It
was
going
to
be
a
very
large
grandfathering
community
that
would
be
included
in
there
and
in
order
to
avoid
like
potential
litigation
for
some
of
these
other
places
that
had
already
established
these
provisions.
The
grandfathering
clause
make
the
made
the
most
sense,
given
those
circumstances.
A
Okay
and
since
since
right
now
with
clark
county,
it's
not
allowed,
the
grandfathering
is
it's
not
with
someone
who
needs
to
be
grandfathered
in,
doesn't
need
to
have
already
been
registered
with
the
county,
it's
with
airbnb
or
verbo,
or
one
of
those
platforms.
A
F
There
are
properties
that
pre
prior
to
bans
are
prior
to
changes
in
status
like
prior
to
going
to
owner
occupied
or
prior
to,
like
henderson
has
str's
that
they
have
a
registration
process,
so
they
are
existing
in
the
henderson
community,
like
in
the
city
of
henderson.
F
So
it's
my,
you
know,
intent
that
those
people
that
have
existing
strs
within
like
say
the
city
of
henderson,
like
your
your
your
district,
they
would
be
grandfathered
in.
So
if
there
were
something
that
was
within,
I
don't
know
like
outside
of
these
like
requirements.
Let's
say
there
were
someone
that
was,
I
don't
know
300
feet
from
another
str.
F
F
A
B
Thank
you
so
much,
madam
chair
assemblywoman,
good
to
see
you
thank
you
for
working
on
this.
I
know
how
many
meetings
you've
had
and
I
don't
envy
the
meetings
that
still
probably
remain
on
this
issue.
I
have
a
couple
of
questions
about
the
conceptual
amendment,
just
to
kind
of
get
your
thought
process
and
the
intent
on
the
record,
and
so
the
first
one
on
the
conceptual
amendments
listed.
I
think
it's
bullet
point
number
three.
It's
the
one
that
talks
about
change,
the
changing
the
public
hearing
requirement.
F
Thank
you,
rochelle
nguyen
for
the
record.
Thank
you,
assemblyman
yeager.
My
thought
process
in
that
actually
came
from
talking
with
a
lot
of
these
local
jurisdictions,
and
it
also
came
from
my
personal
experience.
F
We
were
doing
a
project
in
our
house
where
we
needed
to
obtain
a
special
use
permit
to
do
some
construction
on
our
house
when
my
father-in-law
was
looking
to
move
in,
and
we
sat
through
six
and
a
half
hours
of
short-term
rental,
like
hearings
at
the
city
of
las
vegas,
because
they
were
all
like
hearings
in
those
circumstances
and
as
you'll
see
probably
from
some
of
the
opposition
and
support
testimony.
F
This
is
a
very
loaded
topic
that
is
brings
out
the
passions
in
a
lot
of
people,
which
I
appreciate,
and
I
think
that
just
means
that
it's
something
that
everyone
cares
about.
So
my
thinking
on
doing
that
was
in
reaction
to
talking
to
some
of
these
local
jurisdictions
to
be
able
to
give
them
the
opportunity
to
have
like
processes
in
place
that
allow
for
ease
of
registration
and
ease
of
administration,
but
if
they
needed
to
or
they
wanted
to
handle
like
in
a
public
forum.
They
would
do
that.
F
I
have
had
ongoing
conversations
about
having
community
notification
process
for
when
people
are
approved
for
these
short-term
rentals.
So
that's
still
a
part
of
an
ongoing
conversation
to
make
sure
that
there
is
that
appropriate
community
involvement
in
any
of
the.
You
know
how
this
would
play
out.
B
Thank
you
for
the
second
question,
madam
chair.
The
second
question
I
have
is
also
about
the
conceptual
amendment,
and
it
would
be
on
page
two
really
it's
the
last
main
bullet
point.
So
in
the
bill,
as
drafted
in
a
couple
of
sections,
it
indicates
that
the
board
of
county
commission
in
adopting
the
ordinance
would
set
the
maximum.
B
F
Thank
you,
rochelle
nguyen
assemblyman
yeager,
my
thought
process
on
this.
This
is
an
interesting
one
and
I
don't
think
a
lot
of
people
understood
that
this
was
going
on
and
I
didn't
know
when
I
started
like
reaching
out
to
people
about
like
some
of
the
problem
areas
and
the
problems
that
we
were
having.
F
I
learned
that
there
were
like
multi-national
like
hotel
chains
that
were
coming
in
and
under
the
you
know,
brand
of
their
multinational
billion
dollar
corporation
were
coming
in
and
purchasing
hundreds
of
properties,
hundreds
of
properties
at
a
time
under
one
entity,
and
instead
of
coming
and
opening
up
a
hotel
franchising
in
a
hotel
having
local
ownership,
employing
people
to
work
in
those
rooms
and
clean
those
rooms
and
maintain
those
facilities.
F
They
were
moving
more
towards
this
distributed
hotel
model
where
they
were
just
placing
them
on
platforms
like
airbnb
and
verbo
and
homeaway,
and
so
this
was
at
a
curb.
I
think
there
is
one
of
these
companies
that
owns
more
than
250
properties
in
one
area
within
our
state,
and
you
know
I
think,
as
a
nevadan,
I
want
to
protect
nevadans
not
only
from
like
homes
but
also
affordable
housing,
but
also
you
know
when
you
hear
about
people
talking
about
wanting
to
invest.
F
F
They
want
to
have
maybe
two
investment
or
three
investment
properties,
and
this
does
not
fix
that
problem,
but
I
think
that
it
does
curb
it
if
you
have
to
incorporate
for
every
five
houses
like,
for
example
with
that,
like
you
know,
scenario
with,
you
know,
200
homes
that
company
wouldn't
be
able
to
just
come
in
and
incorporate
200
homes
under
one
company,
they
would
have
to
do
that.
Obviously,
you
know
40
times
and
I
think
that's
a
big
enough
hiccup
that
you
know.
B
So
my
question
is
about
the
distance
separation
from
resorts
of
2500
feet,
so
I
I
think,
I'm
pretty
clear
on
the
rationale
for
the
separation
within
residential
neighborhoods
and
how
it
you
know
you
are
looking
for
a
certain
residential
atmosphere
and
the
environment
and
suddenly
it
changes,
but
I'm
not
as
clear
on
the
rationale.
I
understand
why,
if
you're
a
resort,
you
don't
like
competition,
but
we
let
restaurants
spring
up
nearby
resort
hotels
and
that's
competition
for
for
the
in-house
restaurant.
So
could
you
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
this.
F
Thank
you,
rochelle
nguyen
for
the
record.
Thank
you
for
that
question,
assemblyman
or
liquor.
You
know
there.
There
are
certain
districts.
I
think
assembly
assemblywoman
constantine
would
recognize
that
her
district
is
very
in
close
proximity
and
has
a
lot
of
like
casino
workers
that
are
working
in
that
neighborhood.
I
think
looking
at
some
of
the
distance
requirements
that
are
in
close
proximity
to
our
hotels
and
resorts
that
are
either
in
our
neighborhoods
or
on
the
like,
you
know,
las
vegas
strip.
F
You
know
we
have
our
culinary
workers
that
have
in
our
culinary
union
has
worked
really
hard,
along
with
the
resort
association
to
make
sure
that
there
are
sufficient
worker
protections
in
there.
I
think
we
do
want
to
encourage
our
guests
and
our
tourists
to
come
into
our
state
and
go
to
those
properties
that
we
know
are
highly
regulated.
We
know
that
they
are
safe
and
we
know
that
they
have
put
in
those
protections
for
our
guests
that
are
traveling
here,
so
that
that
was
my
intent.
B
Can
I
just
ask
a
follow-up
david
licker
again,
so
one
question
I
would
have
is
whether,
though,
at
times
when
we
have
overflow
that
this
would
actually
just
increase,
the
number
of
people
come
in
and
not
really
divert
them
from
the
highly
regulated
places.
F
B
Well,
it
sounded
like
the
concern:
is
people
will
choose
the
less
regulated
place
to
stay
rather
than
the
better
regulated
place
to
stay?
And
I
see
that,
but
it
may
be,
we
just
get
more
people,
the
same
number
of
people
stay
in
the
regulated
places
and
just
more
people
can
come
to
las
vegas,
because
it's
not
as
hard
to
find
a
place
to
stay.
So
we
we
wouldn't
be
diverting
it
at
all.
We
would
just
be
expanding
the
pie.
F
Rose
shall
win
for
the
record.
I
I
would
love
it
and
I
think
all
of
our
economy
would
love
it
if
we
ran
out
of
places
on
the
strip-
and
I
think
some
of
the
provisions
that
I
put
in
there,
especially
when
it
came
to
multi-family
dwellings,
it's
my
intent
to
increase
the
ability
to
use
the
utilize
and
have
strs
in
those
multi-family
dwellings
like
the
high-rises
that
are
located
close
to
the
strip.
So
even
though
they
are
within
that
2500
feet,
distance
requirement
they're
actually
carved
out.
F
A
Okay,
I
have
a
question
from
assemblywoman
bilbray
axelrod.
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Thank
you
for
bringing
this
bill.
Some
of
my
questions
were
answered
by
my
my
fellow
members
of
the
committee,
but-
and
I
I
remember
this
bill
in
2017,
and
I
was
really
excited
for
it,
because
I
really
like
airbnb
and
verbo
and
just
you
know,
I
think
you
can't
put
the
genie
back
in
the
bottle
as
they
say,
I'm
looking
at
your
amendment,
and
I
just
I
think
more
than
anything
I
just
kind
of
want
to
get
on
the
record
originally
in
the
bill.
B
It
says
the
term
for
how
long
you
can
stay
is
a
period
of
less
than
three
days,
but
then
your
amendment
kind
of
changes
that
language
tonight.
So
I'm
just
curious,
and
I
know
your
intent
is
to
have
it
two
nights,
so
that
would
be
kind
of
three
days
right.
So
three
days,
two
nights
so
like
a
weekend.
Is
that
correct?
That's
the
first
part.
F
Thank
you,
rochelle
nguyen,
for
the
record.
My
intent
was
to
again
I
wanted
to
have
some
flexibility
there.
I
know
that
there
were
suggestions
at
the
beginning
from
some
of
the
stakeholders
that
we
have
a
three
night
minimum
so
four
days,
but
I
know
that
their
practicalities
are
as
a
lot
of
people
travel
for
just
a
weekend,
and
so
it
is
a
two-night
stay
with
a
three.
F
You
know
three
days,
two
nights,
so
that
was
taking
into
consideration
a
lot
of
the
different
stakeholders
and
coming
to
like
a
happy
place
where
everyone
was
uncomfortable
so
that
that
was
kind
of
my
intent
there.
In
addition
to
kind
of
curving
or
putting
some
like,
you
know,
stops
on
the
the
people
that
would
want
to
rent
a
house
for
one
night
for
a
party.
F
B
You
and
if
I
may,
follow
up
chair,
so
thank
you
for
that
and
I
and
I've
heard
of
them
doing
that.
I
know
on
january
6th
in
washington
dc,
for
example,
airbnb
made
a
decision
that
they
would
not
rent
for
just
one
night
on
that
night.
So
my
other
question-
and
I
think
once
again
you
dealt
with
this
in
your
amendment,
I'm
looking
at
the
section,
I'm
in
the
same
section
section:
seven,
it's
on
page
four
line.
B
Four
and
the
original
language
had
not
more
than
two
persons
per
room,
including
children,
and
I
immediately
went
back
to
thinking
of
the
days
where
my
husband
and
I
traveled,
and
we
had
our
little
baby
with
us
and
had
our
little
pack
and
play
and
the
three
of
us
were
in
one
room
and
you
know
cozy
little
family.
I
I'm
just
wondering-
and
I
I
think
you
kind
of
dealt
with
this
because
sometimes
rooms
are
you
know,
accommodate
they
might
have
bug
two
sets
of
bunk
beds
or
things
like
that.
F
As
well,
yes,
rochelle
win
for
the
record.
Thank
you,
assemblywoman
bilbray
axelrod.
That
was
exactly
my
intent
when
that
language
first
came
out.
I
was
like
so
what
you're
saying
is.
If
I
go
with
my
two
kids
and
my
husband,
we
would
have
to
have
two
bedrooms,
whereas
if
I
stayed
in
a
hotel,
I
would
only
need
one
room,
so
the
intent
was
to
you
know,
use
that
flexibility,
the
the
maximum
of
16
people.
F
That's
in
the
conceptual
amendment
that
actually
came
from
some
of
our
discussions
with
airbnb
on
their
platform.
F
They
don't
allow
more
than
16
guests
in
any
one
of
their
properties
that
they
have
listed
on
there
and
some
of
the
suggestions
that
they
made
and
that
came
from
other
stakeholders
kind
of
made
sense,
and
so
that's
how
we
came
up
with
this
four
occupants
in
the
first
bedroom,
two
in
the
additional
bedrooms
to
kind
of
make
up
for
that,
like
16
person,
and
it's
again
to
avoid
you
know
situations
where
you
know,
kids
are
like
excluded
and
we
had
gone
through
back
and
forth
whether
or
not
kids
would
be
included
or
excluded
or
included
in
that
number.
F
Recognizing
that
there's
a
lot
of
parents
that
travel
with
like
their
soccer
team
for
tournaments
or
you
know,
baseball
teams-
and
you
know
there
are
unique
search
situations
where
you
would
have
quite
a
few
like
minors
in
the
thing,
and
so
we
felt
like
at
that
16
that
was
consistent
with
some
of
the
industry
standards.
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
assemblywoman
for
bringing
this
bill.
I,
like
the
other
assemblywoman,
said
sort
of
the
genies
out
of
the
bottle,
so
I
know
that
we
need
to
do
something
about
this,
but
I
do
have
a
few
questions.
B
One
of
them
is-
and
I
don't
know
if
you
know-
and
this
might
be
a
question
for
legal
in
the
conceptual
amendment
you
have
a
provide-
an
applicant
can
hold
no
more
than
five
permits
per
entity
and
I'm
assuming
permits
means
units
or
houses,
and
if
that's
the
case,
I
believe
that
if
you
have
five
or
more
units
or
properties
that
you're
required
to
get
a
property
management
license
or
you
have
a
property
manager,
so
I
didn't
know
if
that
means
they
would
have
to
get
two.
F
Rochelle
win
for
the
record.
You
know
recently.
This
amendment
came
up
to
kind
of
clarify
that
I
think
it
does
need
further
clarification,
and
I
will
definitely
work
with
legal
to
make
sure
that
we
have
some
clarification
in
law
with
respect
to
property
management
and
how
that
would
work
to
make
sure
that
we're
consistent
with
other
areas
of
the
nrs,
so
I'd
be
happy
to
talk
to
you
more
offline
about
how
we
can
make
sure
that
there's
consistency
amongst
the
different
chapters
of
nrs
for
sure.
B
Homeowners
associations
can
put
in
their
regulations
and
their
rules
more
or
more
restrictions
or
or
not.
Allow
strs
in
the
hoas
is
that
correct.
B
F
F
We
knew
it
was
going
to
be
probably
burdensome
to
have
to
go
to
an
hoa
board,
given
some
of
the
potential
politics
that
take
place
on
hoa
boards
in
order
to
get
a
written
letter,
saying
hey,
we
you
can
have
this
or
you
can't
have
this,
so
we
are
looking
at
being
able
to
look
at
like
ccnr's
that,
like
lay
out
that-
and
so
they
may
potentially
have
to
like-
submit
that
with
their
application
for
their
property.
F
B
You
and
then
will
the
platforms
before
they
put
a
listing
on
their
platform.
Will
they
be
required
to
ensure
that
the
applicant
has
a
permit.
F
Rochelle
win
for
the
record.
That
is
something
that
we
are
also
working
on.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
the
we
understand
that
they
will
have
to
have
like
there
are
other,
and
I
believe
there
is
someone
from
airbnb
that
they
might
be
able
to
answer
during
their
testimony
in
opposition,
so
chair,
I'm
sure
they
would
be
able
to
do
that.
I
know
that
they
do
have
the
ability
in
some
jurisdictions
where
they
have
to
post
like
the
business
license
or
a
permit
license
number.
F
B
B
My
my
worry
about
this
bill
is
that
if
homeowners
associations
can
regulate
them
out
of
their
neighborhoods,
then
there's
a
disproportionate
impact
on
areas
that
don't
have
hoas,
which
is
anything
in
an
older
area
of
henderson
and
in
my
district,
which
is
central,
las
vegas
now
becomes
sort
of
more
of
a
focused
area
for
folks
who
want
to
get
into
this
business.
F
F
I
would
love
to,
and
I
will
continue
to
work
with
stakeholders
going
forward
to
see
how
we
can
make
sure
that
it
is
part
of
the
reason
that
we
have
some
of
these
restrictive
measures
in
here
with
the
distance
requirements
within
properties
permitting
requirements.
The
number
of
permits
that
you
can
get
you
know
on
the
ability
for
open
hearings
and
enforcement
is
to
get
at
those
communities
like
my
own,
like
your
own,
where
there
aren't
ho
ways
to
necessarily
protect
people.
F
On
the
flip
side,
I
will
tell
you
that
there
are
some
places,
especially
in
the
tahoe
area,
where
people
have
come
in
and
taken
over
hoa
boards
and
then
specifically
authorized
like
unlimited
str's
within
that.
So
you
know
there
is
a
flip
side
into
that
affordability,
housing
and
investment
things
with
the
hoa.
So
I
feel
like
these
give
us
some
needed
protections
in
those
areas
like
my
own
and
like
your
own,
in
your
district,
where
they
wouldn't
have
the
protections
of
an
hoa
board
to
do
so.
F
B
A
B
Thank
you,
chair
cohen.
If
I
may,
I
have
two
questions
for
assemblywoman
wynn.
Thank
you
so
much.
This
is
such
a
difficult
topic.
It's
private
property
rights
on
both
sides.
It's
the
private
property
rights
of
the
person
that
already
owns
the
home
to
rent
it.
It's
the
private
property
rights
of
the
neighbor
for
quiet
enjoyment.
So
it's
a
very
delicate
dance
and-
and
thank
you
for
stepping
up
to
to
work
on
this.
It
is
critical
for
the
state.
B
Thank
you
for
acknowledging
to
the
difference
between
localities
in
our
state
and
and
different
issues
that
go
with
each
jurisdiction
so
that
we're
we're
focusing
on
the
big
one
now
clark,
clark
county,
and
so
I
have
a
couple
questions
here.
With
back
to
the
five
permits
per
entity.
B
My
question
has
to
do
with
the
entity.
Is
there
any
consideration
for
common
ownership
between
the
entities?
So
you
were
talking
about.
One
entity
could
come
in
and
create
40
entities,
but
if
there's
a
common
ownership
thread
between
that
entity,
as
is
there
any
thought
or
consideration
for
how
that
might
work.
F
Rochelle
win
for
the
record.
Thank
you,
assemblywoman
kasama,
for
the
question
and
the
comment.
It
is
something
that,
like
I
said,
I
think
our
intention
was
to
try
to
get
away
from
this
distributed
hotel
model
where
you
had
multinational
like
multi-billion
dollar
collect
corporations
that
were
coming
in
doing
that.
I
know
I
worked
a
lot
with
the
realtors,
because
I
think
there
were
some
concerns
that
this
wasn't
like
your
average
like
investor.
F
This
was
like
a
company
that
had
like
unlimited
honestly,
unlimited
resources
to
be
able
to
come
in,
and
cash
buy
all
of
these
things.
So
definitely
I'm
willing
to
work
on
that
language
to
make
sure
that
I
get
it
right.
I
know
that
there
were
some
suggestions
from
people
to
make
it
so
you
couldn't
incorporate
or
you
couldn't
have
an
llc
and
the
lawyer
in
me.
F
I
was
like
anyone
that
had
a
rental
property,
whether
it
was
a
long-term
rental,
property
or
short-term
rental
property
would
have
an
incorporation,
and
I
don't
think
that
they
should
be
prohibited
from
those
protections
just
because
it's
a
short-term
rental
and
we're
trying
to
curb
that.
So
this
was
kind
of
me
trying
to
get
to
a
delicate
balance
with
all
the
stakeholders
on
how
we
could
curb
that
distributed
hotel
model,
but
also
protect
like
individual
investors
or
smaller
investors.
B
Thank
you
and
chair.
If
I
may
have
the
other
questions
so
and-
and
I
I
did
just
get
the
the
conceptual
amendment
here-
a
little
bit
before
the
hearing,
but
back
to
the
section
here
on
the
first
page
of
your
conceptual
amendment,
where
it
says
short-term
rentals
approved
at
a
new
section
that
short-term
rentals
approved
by
a
local
jurisdiction
prior
to
the
effective
date
of
this
bill
are
grandfathered
in
my
concern
is
obviously
with
unincorporated
clark
county
where
they
haven't
had
regulations
other
than
a
ban.
B
We
have.
We
have
investors,
hundreds,
if
not
thousands
that
have
purchased
homes
there
and
it
is.
It
is
different
than
buying
a
bicycle
and
saying
you
can't
use
it
anymore.
You
know
that's
a
real
impact
to
a
lot
of
people
that
have
done
it,
whether
it
was
good
or
not
how
it
started.
B
F
F
So
you
know
it
is
my
intent
to
make
them
go
through
the
process
like
they
would
normally
because
to
become
in
compliance.
This
gives
them
an
opportunity
and,
if
assembly
bill
363
passes,
this
is
gives
them
the
opportunity
to
do
so
lawfully.
I
talked
to
a
lot
of
people
and
they
were
like
well
what
about
all
these?
Like
places,
I
was
like
right
now
they
can't
they
can't
operate
lawfully.
F
Like
I
mean
at
the
end
of
the
day,
they're
they're,
like
you,
know,
flouting
the
law
at
this
point,
so
I
I
do
think
that
they
would
have
to
come
into
compliance
and
go
through
the
process,
just
like
everyone
else
that
wants
to
do
so
lawfully.
I
think
that's
part
of
the
problem
that
I've
seen
in
talking
to
people
that
own
short-term
rentals
is
the
people
that
are
trying
to
comply.
F
Are,
you
know,
hurting,
and
they
are
being
subject
to
like
fines
and
fees
that
sometimes
they
believe
are
unreasonable
or
unwarranted,
and
the
people
that
are
not
registered
that
are
operating
unlawfully.
Nothing
happens
to
them,
they're,
not
paying
taxes,
they're,
not
like
being
regulated.
We
have
no
way
of
knowing
how
they
are.
So
it
is
my
intention
that
they
would
have
to
go
through
that
same
process
as
well
and.
B
Anderson,
thank
you,
mr
chair,
chair
cohen,
and
thank
you
for
the
presentation,
as
well
as
all
the
work
that
you
put
into
this.
It's
pretty
extensive.
I
have
two
questions.
The
first,
I
believe,
is
a
pretty
straightforward
one,
I'm
just
verifying
that
there
are
no
changes
to
the
the
language
that
was
proposed
in
section
six,
which
basically
adds
the
this
platform
onto
the
transient
lodging,
as
was
discussed
by
by
the
president
of
the
retail
association.
So
I'm
just
making
sure
that
this
has
not
changed
at
all.
B
B
Great
thank
you
because
I
just
wanted
to
verify
that
one
and
then
my
second
question
is
is
very
similar
to
assemblymember
consonants.
When
it's
a
concern,
there
needs
to
be
some
sort
of
checks
and
balance
between
the
permits,
as
well
as
the
different
housing
platforms,
because
it
feels
like-
and
I
know
that
this
is
something
that
will
be
a
discussion
for
further.
B
F
Thank
you,
rochelle
lynn,
for
the
record.
Thank
you
for
that
comment
and
question.
Assemblywoman
anderson.
It's
definitely
something
like
I
said
this
is
a
very
dynamic
process.
Still,
I'm
thankful
that
I
have
the
opportunity
to
meet
with
you
and
you
have
all
very
like
wonderful,
thoughtful
questions,
because
I
anticipate
that
a
lot
of
these
will
be
incorporated
in
any
future
amendments
that
come
before
any
kind
of
work
session
that
we
may
be
fortunate
enough
to
have
in
this
committee.
B
F
Obviously,
at
the
original
bill,
like
my
intent,
was
to
include
all
counties
within
the
state
of
nevada,
obviously
in
talking
with
stakeholders
and
recognizing
some
of
the
unique
challenges,
in
addition
to
places
that
have
already
imposed
pretty
substantial,
like
ordinances
within
their
jurisdictions
that
they've
been
working
on
for
years
and
years
and
years
and
years.
F
You
know
I
wanted
to
take
that
into
consideration
and
I've
told
those
counties
as
well
that
they
probably
will
see
me
again
in
the
future.
I
don't
see
this,
like,
I
said,
being
the
perfect
bill,
but
it
is
my
intention
to
allow
them
to
continue
with
the
regulations
and
ordinances
that
they
currently
have
in
play
in
most
of
those
counties
that
are
under
that
population.
F
Cap
again,
I
don't
think
there
is
such
a
thing
as
a
perfect
bill,
and
I
imagine
with
this
topic
and
given
the
number
of
conversations
I
have
had
so
far,
that
I'm
sure
I
will
be
back
here
in
2023,
correcting
and
fine-tuning
some
of
those
things
as
well
as
working
on
some
of
the
concerns
that
I
know
we
were
not
able
to
make
it
into
this
particular
bill.
C
F
A
Thank
you
committee.
Do
we
have
any
other
questions,
go
ahead
assembly
on
kasama.
B
Thank
you,
chair
for
the
indulgence,
heidi
kasama
assembly,
district
2
and
for
assemblywoman
win.
I
just
wanted
to
to
clarify
too.
I
was
looking
in
the
original
bill
and
I
was
looking
in
the
conceptual
amendment,
but
is
it
the
intent
that
these
short-term
rentals
will
be
considered
a
permissible
residential
use
so
that
there's
no
confusion
with
zoning
on
these
or.
F
Rochelle
win
for
the
record.
You
know,
honestly,
that's
not
something,
I'm
totally
familiar
with
on
the
distinctions
between
it,
but
I'd
be
happy
to
talk
to
you
about
what
the
intent
is
and
how
that
works.
As
far
as
those
legal
definitions.
A
Okay
and
before
we
go
on
to
support,
I
just
have
a
couple
more,
the
first
one's
more
a
statement.
You
know
I
appreciated
bringing
the
pop
cap
in,
but
we
do
have.
A
We
do
have
places
in
in
southern
nevada
and
clark
county
that
are
that
are
rural,
that
that
and
and
as
as
assemblyman
o'neil
has
said,
if
you,
if
you
make
someone
go,
you
know
25
100
feet
away
from
something
it's
in
in
a
rural
area.
You
can
be,
you
know
in
the
sagebrush,
although
I
guess
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
that
in
southern
nevada,
but
you
can
be
in
the
the
desert.
So
I
guess
I
would
just
ask
that
you
consider
if
it's
possible
to
kind
of.
F
Rochelle
win
for
the
record:
it's
definitely
something
that
we
have
considered.
I
think
that's
why
there
were
some
distinctions.
Initially,
it
was
all
non-restricted
gaming,
which
would
include
all
properties
with
16
or
more
machines,
so
it
include
every
dotties,
bourbon
street
pt's
pub,
like
all
of
those
things
so
in
our
attempts
to
kind
of
narrow
down
like
what
we're
trying
to
accomplish.
Those
are
some
of
the
things
that
we
have
continually
kept,
trying
to
narrow
it
down,
to
make
sure
that
we're
capturing
and
giving
enough
flexibility
in
those
areas.
A
Thank
you
and
then
so.
My
question
then,
is
about
in
the
amendment
the
last
bullet
point
the
section
11
1a
and
section
11
1b,
which
are
respectively,
on
pages
six
and
seven,
the
language
that
you've
deleted
the
the
and
who,
on
behalf
of
the
owner,
lesser
other
lawful,
occupant
of
the
residential
unit
or
manager
of
the
residential
unit,
collects
the
gross
receipts
from
the
rental
of
the
residential
unit
or
a
room
or
space
within
the
residential
unit.
Can
you
just
address
why
that
came
out
of
those
two
paragraphs.
F
Thank
you,
rochelle
wen,
for
the
record.
Some
of
these
conceptual
amendments
and
the
deletion
of
those
things
came
from
speaking
with
some
of
the
short-term
rental
platforms.
They
were
in
a
position
where
they
wanted
to
just
be
able
to
collect
all
of
it
and
if
they
later
found
out
that
it
wasn't,
they
were
still
going
to
give
it
to
the
county
to
so.
F
A
Okay,
thank
you
and
then
so
one
of
the
things
that's
in
that
section
and
I
think
it's
in
another
section
as
well
section
12,
there's
also
reference
to
not
just
rooms
but
spaces
and.
F
A
I
flipped
pages
a
couple
of
times.
Let
me
track
it
down
it's.
It
is
in
the
language
in
the
the
page,
six
and
seven
section,
eleven
one
one
a
and
eleven
one
b
mentions
it,
but
I
do
think
it's
somewhere
else
that
I
had
noticed
done.
F
Rochelle
roshawn
for
the
record,
I
know
exactly
where
you're
looking,
I'm
not
gonna
lie
that
is
weirdly
worded,
and
it
is
something
that
we
are
also
continuing
to
look
on
to
make
sure
that
it
isn't
like
25
within
like
a
room
within
a
space
within
a
a
unit.
So
we
are
working
on
further
clarifying
that
it
is
something
that
was
brought
to
my
attention
and
when
I
read
it
I
was
like.
I
don't
even
know
what
this
means.
B
Thank
you,
man,
chair,
just
to
clarify
what
I
have
been
talking
about,
because
I
appreciate
the
pop
cap
amendment.
I
truly
do
it
solves
so
many
problems
for
us
here
in
the
rurals
and
I
want
clark
county
to
handle
their
own
issues,
but
just
for
the
record,
I
was
thinking
of
places
like
laughlin,
where
they
have
multiple
unrestricted
gaming
locations
and
mosquito
mesquite.
Also
that
that
half
mile
distance
would
cause
them
some
difficulties.
B
F
Thank
you
for
that
question,
rochelle
nguyen
for
the
record
our
comment,
our
question
and
comment
in
looking
at
some
of
those
things.
I
have
worked
pretty
closely
with
naco
and
their
representatives,
as
well
as
the
resort
association
to
see
if
there
are
any
concerns
with
the
population
cap.
I
haven't
received
much
feedback
on
that.
Those
are
problematic
areas
within
clark
county,
but
it
is
something
that
I
will
continue
to
work
out
and
reach
out
to
those
various
stakeholders
to
see
if
they
have
concerns.
A
Thank
you
and
I
certainly
wasn't
attempting
to
impugn
intent
on
assembling
o'neill's
statement.
However,
also
mr
nakama
nakamoto
has
given
us
the
answer
that
laughlin
is
a
town,
so
with
that
seeing
no
other
questions
we're
going
to
move
on.
Oh,
we
have
a
question
from
assemblywoman
anderson.
B
So
sorry
about
that,
thank
you,
chair
cohen.
Thank
you
again.
So
I
just
started
doing
a
little
bit
of
research
on
based
upon
some
things
that
you
were
just
saying
during
the
the
discussion.
B
Do
you
know
how
many
complaints
there
have
been
about
uninco
unpermitted
complaints
in
clark
county,
because
there
are
some
areas
that
do
have
allow
the
permits?
I
believe
it's
in
north
las
vegas.
I
could
be
off
on
that,
but
in
the
unincorporated
clark
county
area,
do
you
have
any
idea
about
that?
What
that
is,
or
possibly,
when
somebody
from
clark
county?
I
can
also
ask
them
that.
F
Rochelle
win
for
the
record.
I
do
not
know
that
number,
but
I
believe
that
joanna
jacobs
or
someone
from
clark
county
will
probably
be
on
the
line
either
in
support
opposition
or
neutral.
Regarding
the
bill,
I
will
continue
to
work
out
with
work
with
them.
In
fact,
that
is
one
of
the
people
that
I
will
have
continuing
conversations
about,
especially
on
the
enforcement
pieces.
F
I
know
that
they
have
really
struggled
in
talking,
not
only
with
my
commissioner,
the
best
commissioner,
obviously
commissioner
segerbloom,
but
also
the
other
members
of
the
commission,
as
well
as
their
lobbying
government
affairs
team,
on
how
we
can
do
that.
I've
met
with
their
enforcement
people.
They
are
clearly
unfun
underfunded,
I
should
say,
and
they
are
lacking
some
of
the
resources
and
information.
F
Hopefully,
some
of
the
data
collection
pieces
in
here
from
the
sites
will
help
also
facilitate
that
and
what
I've
found
in
looking
at
some
of
the
other
jurisdictions
that
I've
gone
to
honestly
less
restrictive
means
you
actually
get
more
participation
and
you
get
more
like
information
about
who
is
out
there
operating
and
that
that's
kind
of
the
intent
that
I'm
hoping
this
bill
will
accomplish.
A
A
So
with
that,
I
don't
think
we.
I
don't
think
we
have
anyone
in
support
on
the
zoom,
but
if
I'm,
oh,
I'm,
okay
go
ahead,
miss
valentine
and
then,
if
there's
anyone
else,
please
let
me
know,
but
I
believe
the
rest
are
either
in
neutral
or
opposition.
So
please
go
ahead.
E
Theresa
mckee
for
the
record,
I'm
assuming
you're
talking
about
me.
Thank
you
very
much
man
and
chair
members
of
the
committee.
E
E
So
we
appreciate
the
inclusion
of
the
population
caps
so
that
the
bill
only
applies
to
clark
county.
The
realtors,
along
with
many
others,
have
put
in
a
ton
of
time
and
effort
into
working
with
washoe
county
on
recently
passing
their
ordinance
to
address
short-term
rentals,
and
we
really
want
to
give
that
time
and
see
how
that
implementation
goes,
and
hopefully
we'll
all
learn
about
some
things
that
work
and
maybe
some
things
that
don't
work
as
well.
E
The
grandfathering
of
current
short-term
rentals
does
allow
current
owners
to
continue
to
rent
their
property.
Legally
many
short-term
rentals
are
second
homes,
and
this
gives
families
the
flexibility
to
have
a
vacation
home
and
continue
to
pay
the
mortgage.
We
also
would
be
in
complete
support
with
any
provisions
that
validate
that
a
property
used
as
a
short-term
rental
is
a
permissible
residential
use
and
not
a
commercial
use.
We
have
that
understanding
that
this
is
included
in
the
bill
and
or
the
amendment
and
we'll
look
forward
to
working
with
assembly.
E
A
B
Thank
you
good
late
afternoon
committee
members
and
chair
kent,
irvin
k-e-n-t
e-r-v-I-n
for
the
nevada
faculty
alliance,
the
statewide
association
of
faculty
at
ng
colleges
and
universities
statewide.
We
support
this
bill.
We
generally
support
revenue
measures,
our
economists
that
have
certain
characteristics.
Our
economist
colleagues
tell
us
that
the
best
revenue
taxes
are
broad
and
low,
and
this
is
an
example
of
the
kind
of
bill
that
extends
taxes
to
a
sector
of
the
economy.
B
A
B
D
In
february
and
again,
on
monday
of
this
week,
educators
in
red,
convened
in
carson
city
lining
the
street
and
lobbying
in
this
building,
asking
you
to
dig
deep
to
address
our
budget
challenges
after
sustaining
difficult
cuts
in
the
31st
special
session
last
summer.
K-12
public
education
is
threatened.
This
session
with
difficult
general
fund
touched.
This
includes
a
proposed
33
million
cut
to
the
read
by
grade
3
program,
which
provides
critical
early
literacy
supports
and
156
million
dollar
million
dollars
in
proposed
cuts
to
class
size
reduction.
Despite
already
having
the
largest
class
sizes
in
the
nation.
D
Emergency
assistance
from
the
american
rescue
plan
will
certainly
help
schools
address
pandemic
related
issues,
but
these
funds
are
one
time
and
will
expire
in
2023,
ranking
near
the
bottom
of
states,
and
protocol
funding.
Public
schools
and
other
vital
services
deserve
new
and
sustained
revenue,
not
just
continued
austerity.
D
Meanwhile,
the
rapid
growth
of
short-term
rentals
has
not
only
impacted
communities
and
housing
affordability.
It
also
has
gone
largely
unregulated,
with
significant
tax
avoidance
and
evasion
b.
Ab363
brings
this
message:
these
necessary
regulations,
while
also
providing
the
state
with
much
needed
revenue
by
requiring
facilitators,
short-term
rentals
to
collect
and
remit
those
taxes.
Thank
you
very
much.
B
D
D
I
am
the
policy
director
for
faith
in
action,
nevada,
and
we
are
here
in
support
for
ab363
we'd,
like
to
thank
assemblywoman
one
for
bringing
this
bill
forward
with
bipartisan
and
broad-based
support.
This
bill
will
look
to
bring
parity
with
bring
parity
with
short-term
rentals,
both
in
regulation
and
in
taxation.
D
We
are
encouraged
by
the
sponsor's
willingness
and
active
actually
trying
to
find
a
solution
to
the
affordable
housing
issue.
With
this
bill
to
echo
the
fed
sentiments,
as
others
have
stated,
from
the
revenue
aspect
by
also
taxing
short-term
rentals,
the
same
as
traditional
hotels,
we
will
also
be
bringing
revenue
that
is
currently
being
left
on
the
table
revenue
that
is
severely
needed
both
by
our
state
and
local
government.
Thank
you
for
opportunity
to
speak
on
this
bill
and
we
urge
your
support
for
ab363.
B
D
Let
me
start
off
by
stating
that
incline
village
general
improvement,
district
politely
known
as
isgid,
has
no
formal
administrative
jurisdiction
on
this
issue,
but
instead
tonight
we
are
speaking
on
behalf
of
many
residents
and
the
committee
members
of
ifgit
and
how
short-term
rentals
affect
our
neighborhoods
and
our
community
as
a
whole
residents
and
visitors
to
incline
village
have
seen
just
how
significant
transient
lodging
has
on
our
community
from
parking
issues,
increased
glittering
trash
and
the
new
problem
of
noise
within
what
was
normally
quiet.
Neighborhoods.
D
These
short-term
rentals
have
had
a
very
large
impact
on
inclined
village
as
a
whole
within
our
community.
One
of
our
smaller
communities
has
roughly
40
percent
short-term
rentals
and
is
going
unregulated,
we'd
like
to
commend
assemblywoman
nguyen
on
her
leadership
of
this
issue,
lend
our
support
for
assembly
bill
363
to
assist
in
providing
common
sense
regulation
that
will
not
infringe
on
private
property
rights
but
ensure
that
communities
like
incline
village
are
preserved.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
B
D
Good
afternoon,
madam
chair
members
of
the
committee,
my
name
is
russell
rowe
r-o-w-e
speaking
on
behalf
of
boyd
gaming
corporation
in
support
of
aba
363.
I
would
first
like
to
thank
the
sponsor
assemblywoman
wynn
for
bringing
this
bill.
We
have
received
the
conceptual
amendment
and
believe
and
includes
good
changes,
and
we
look
forward
to
continue
working
with
the
sponsor
void.
Gaming
operates
in
all
four
local
jurisdictions
in
the
las
vegas
valley,
clark,
county
city
of
las
vegas,
north
las
vegas
and
henderson.
D
8363
will
ensure
that
there
is
a
level
playing
field
across
jurisdictions
to
ensure
that
nevada
remains
a
safe
and
welcoming
tourist
tourism.
Destination
protects
residential,
neighborhoods
communities
and
affordable
housing
and
fairly
requires
strs
to
pay
the
transient
lodging
tax.
Just
like
our
resort
hotels
do.
A
D
The
bill
includes
important
distance
separation
requirements
to
protect
neighborhoods.
We
highly
support
this
legislation,
it's
important
to
our
tourism
destination
and
to
the
neighborhoods
in
the
las
vegas
valley.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
your
time.
B
E
Thank
you,
chair
cohen,
and
members
of
the
assembly
revenue
committee,
and
thank
you
to
us
for
bringing
this
bill
forward.
My
name
is
alyssa
mae
worth
and
I'm
here
today
on
behalf
of
red
rock
resorts
in
support
of
abc
363
and
the
policy
goals
behind
the
legislation
which
we
believe
strongly
will
establish
a
proper
and
consistent
regulatory
framework
for
southern
nevada's,
short-term
rental
industry.
E
This
legislation
does
not
seek
to
ban
short-term
rentals.
Rather
it's
the
opposite.
It
allows
short-term
rentals
to
exist
the
places
new
requirements,
so
they
those
those
rentals,
can
coexist
with
our
residents
and
the
resort
community
in
a
way
that
ensures
fairness,
purity
and
limits.
The
growth
of
an
industry
to
protect
our
community
and
our
neighborhood
no
longer
is
the
short-term
rental
industry
strictly
represented
by
the
individual
homeowner,
who
seeks
to
lease
their
home
for
a
weekend
or
extended
time
period
while
they
are
out
of
town
to
earn
some
extra
income.
E
Today,
many
short-term
rentals
are
owned
by
corporations
and
or
investors
who
purchase
mostly
entry-level
homes.
They
remove
these
homes
in
the
market
and
list
them
as
a
short-term
rental
to
las
vegas,
leisure
and
business
travelers.
With
multiple
homes
for
short-term
lease,
they
operate
operate
like
a
hotel
year,
they're
not
held
to
the
same
standards
in
the
resort,
hotel
industry
and
certainly
do
not
create
the
same
level
of
jobs
as
our
largest
industry
in
the
state
is.
For
these
reasons,
and
more
that
we
respectfully
request
you
support
this
measure.
B
D
S-H-A-O-H-U-A-Y-A-N-G
and
I
oh
I'm
just
the
individual,
so
I
own
a
airbnb
property
in
douglas
county,
and
I
have
been
having
started
this
since
last
november
and
since
then
I
have
had
no
issue
of
party
noise
because
we
screened
the
guest.
So
I
really
appreciate
that
this
bill
is
being
considered
as
we
host
of
airbnb
are
not
really
demons
and
we
don't
necessarily
interrupt
the
community.
D
There
just
needs
to
be
measures
take
into
place
and
make
sure
that
we
have
limited
number
of
gas
and
we
don't
interrupt
parking
on
neighbors
and
noise
produce
too
much
noise.
So
the
solution
is
really
to
regulate
and
make
sure
that
everybody
behave
and
in
a
respectful
way
to
the
community
as
well
as
neighbors.
D
So
this
bill
will
create
a
good
positive
environment
so
that
everybody
know
their
role
and
produce
tax
revenue
to
our
counties
and
also
we
help
each
other
in
terms
of
catching
all
the
legal
status,
because
in
the
past
it's
kind
of
a
gray
area.
D
What
we
could
about
what
we
could
do
and
what
we
couldn't-
and
there
are
also
a
lot
of
debate
or
argument,
all
the
social
media
and
people
kind
of
argue
against
each
other,
so
this
bill
will
bring,
hopefully
will
bring
on
closure
and
unity
into
our
community
and
us
respect
and
mutual
benefit.
Thank
you.
So
much.
B
Please,
if
you
have
recently
joined
this
meeting,
I
would
like
to
provide
testimony
in
support
of
assembly
bill
363,
please
press
star,
9
now
to
take
your
place
in
the
queue
with
a
caller
with
the
last
three
digits
319,
please
release
state
and
spell
your
name.
You
have
two
minutes.
I
may
begin
now.
E
Yes
hi,
my
name
is
rachel
hopper.
However,
I'm
not
in
support
of
this
bill,
I'm
in
opposition.
Would
you
like
me
to
speak
now
or
later.
B
C
R-O-N-D-A-T-Y-C-E-R,
I'm
co-chairperson
of
the
incline
village,
short-term
rental,
citizen
advisory
group.
We
support
the
bill,
but
we
oppose
the
amendment
putting
a
cap
on
county
population
so
that
washer
county
is
not
included.
The
current
washoe
county
ordinance
does
not
protect
our
neighborhoods
or
our
community
at
lake
tahoe.
C
After
two
years
of
pleading
with
the
county,
we
still
have
no
limits
on
numbers
or
locations
of
str's
throughout
our
lake
tahoe
community.
We
were
ignored
for
two
years,
while
airbnb
and
realtors
were
allowed
to
influence
the
ordinance.
These
stakeholders
were
given
priority
over
residents.
Stakeholders
is
a
fuzzy
word
and
all
stakeholders
are
not
equal.
The
phrase
we
often
hear
that
legislation
must
be
right,
because
all
opposing
groups
are
equally
dissatisfied
with.
C
It
is
overused
and
wrongly
indicates
that
all
opposing
groups
should
have
equal
say
that
all
groups
are
equal
in
importance,
and
that
is
simply
not
true.
In
the
greater
scheme
of
things,
the
most
important
voices
are
those
that
are
the
most
informed
and
interested
in
preserving
the
values
that
the
legislation
is
intended
to
uphold.
C
I
believe
local
full-time
voting
constituents
voices
should
be
the
loudest
in
determining
what's
included
in
ab363,
and
this
bill
should
not
give
people
running
businesses
priority
over
citizens.
Trying
to
preserve
the
community,
businesses
will
fail
when
the
communities
fail
already
incline
has
lost
most
of
its
affordable
housing.
Just
this
week
I
helped
the
computer
tech
move
from
inclined
to
reno
because
there
is
no
affordable
housing
left
he's
lived
here,
40
years
and
he's
now
unable
to
find
a
single
place
to
live,
and
he
is
not
an
isolated
person.
Go
on
the
location
here.
So.
A
Thank
you
and
we're
also
going
to
categorize
your
testimony
as
opposition
and
I'll
remind
anyone
else,
who's
waiting
to
testify
if
you're
going
to
testify
and
support
you're,
testifying
in
support
of
the
bill
with
the
amendment.
So
please
testify
accordingly
with
that
we'll
move
on
to
the
next
person
in
support.
Please.
B
If
you
have
recently
joined
this
meeting,
I
would
like
to
provide
testimony
in
support
of
assembly
bill
363.
Please
press
star,
9
now
to
take
your
place
in
the
queue
again.
If
you
would
like
to
provide
testimony
in
support
only
of
assembly
bill
363,
please
press
star
nine
now
to
take
your
place
in
the
queue
sure
the
line
is
open
and
working.
However,
oh
we
have
one
caller
now.
B
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
committee,
I'm
patrick
cates,
that's
d-a-t-e-s.
I
am
the
douglas
county
manager.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
address.
Ab363
douglas
county
includes
the
tahoe
township,
which
encompasses
the
southeast
portion
of
the
tahoe
basin,
from
state
line
nevada
to
spooner
lake
state
park.
Short-Term
rentals
have
been
part
of
the
tourist
economy
in
the
tahoe
basin
for
decades,
and
douglas
county
may
have
one
of
the
oldest
short-term
rental
programs
in
the
state
managing
them
by
ordinance.
Since
2005..
D
For
the
last
three
years,
we've
been
working
on
a
major
update
to
our
ordinance,
including
24
public
meetings.
We
have
added
enforcement
resources
and
stood
up
a
new
platform.
We
are
nearly
done
with
this
process
and
our
commission
will
be
will
have
their
first
reading
of
our
new
ordinance.
Next
week,
we
currently
have
approximately
600
permitted
sers,
generating
over
3
million
per
year
in
room
tax
revenue.
D
D
It
would
differentiate
between
rural
and
urban
counties
and
seeks
to
remove
provisions
for
rules
that
conflicted
with
our
own
ordinance.
However,
given
assembly,
woman
wen's
conceptual
amendment,
douglas
county
would
wholeheartedly
wholeheartedly
support
the
population
provision
that
makes
ab363
apply
only
to
clark
county.
I
want
to
thank
assemblywoman
gwen
for
working
with
us
and
the
many
other
stakeholders
in
the
last
couple
of
weeks.
Str
is
our
complicated
topic
that
often
involves
strong
passion
among
the
public
with
widely
divergent
views.
I
respect
her
courage
for
taking
this
on.
D
She
has
been
open
and
willing
to
consider
changes
to
the
language
and
to
make
it
workable
for
douglas
and
the
other
stakeholders.
I
think
that's
reflected
in
her
conceptual
amendment.
While
I
still
need
to
bring
this
back
to
my
board
of
commissioners,
I'm
confident
douglas
county
will
support
blue
woman
conceptual
and
sorry.
A
Sir,
that
that's
two
minutes,
if
you
can
wrap
it
up,
please.
B
B
B
A
B
Chair
that
was
the
last
caller
that
we
had
in
support
of
assembly
bill
363..
If
you
would
like
to
testify
in
opposition
to
assembly
bill
363.
A
We're
actually
going
to
go
to
the
zoom
first
and
then
the
room
and
then
we'll
go
to
the
phones.
Oh
okay.
My
apologies.
No
problem.
Thank
you!
Okay!
So
we
are,
I
guess
I
said
we're
going
to
go
to
the
zoom
and
I
believe
we
have.
A
Let's
start
with
mr
thong
savant
from
airbnb.
If
you'd
please
go
ahead
and
then
committee.
If
there
are
any
questions
for
him,
I'm
gonna
volunteer
you,
sir,
so
please
go
ahead.
G
Thank
you
chair.
I
I
appreciate
it
good
afternoon,
chair
cohen
and
members
of
the
committee.
My
name
is
adam
thompson
and
I
serve
on
airbnb's
public
policy
team.
I'd
like
to
thank
assemblymember
nguyen
for
her
hard
work
on
ab363
and
for
engaging
a
wide
range
of
stakeholders
on
bill.
We
recognize
this
is
a
complex
issue,
attracting
the
attention
and
feedback
of
many
parties,
and
we
applaud
assembly
member
nguyen
for
her
effort
to
forge
a
balanced
path
forward.
To
ensure
short-term
rentals
can
continue
to
serve
local
economies
while
bolstering
nevada's
economic
recovery
at
large.
G
We
believe
the
proposed
conceptual
amendments
from
the
assemblywoman
offer
a
fairly
balanced
approach
for
nevada's,
current
short-term
rental
regulatory
environment.
However,
we
would
like
to
raise
additional
items
for
the
committee's
consideration,
as
proposed.
Ab363
would
legalize
short-term
rentals
in
southern
nevada
and
create
a
simple
way
for
our
community
to
pay
their
fair
share
of
transit
lodging
tax,
which
generates
millions
of
dollars
of
revenue
for
nevada
each
year
as
an
example
in
washington
county.
G
In
the
past
five
years
we've
collected
there
emitted
an
estimated
7.6
million
in
tax
as
part
of
our
efforts
to
be
good
partners
to
the
state,
local
governments
and
communities
we
serve.
We
respectfully
ask
the
committee
to
consider
substantive
changes
to
the
2500
foot
gaming
buffer
from
short-term
rentals,
500
foot
distance
requirements
between
children,
rentals
and
eliminating
the
two-night
minimum
for
non-owner-occupied
states.
G
We
are
coming
off
the
heels
of
a
once
in
a
century
pandemic
that
has
devastated
the
travel
and
tourism
industry.
Now
is
a
time
to
help
draw
visitors
to
nevada
in
a
safe
and
healthy
manner.
We
look
forward
to
working
with
assembly,
member
nguyen
and
other
members
of
the
state
and
local
leadership
to
ensure
airbnb
and
our
host
community
are
partners
to
nevada's
growth
and
economic
recovery.
G
A
Thank
you,
and
I
do
have
one
question
so
I
believe
that
airbnb
has
has
collected
tax
in
washoe,
but
not
in
clark
or
the
other
counties.
Can
you
explain
why
that
is
and
how
that
came
about.
G
Sure
I'm
happy
to
address
that
chair
in
20
in
march
of
2016,
we
entered
what
we
call
a
vca
voluntary
collection
agreement
with
the
county
of
washoe,
including
reno
and
sparks
that
program
has
since
blossomed
to
29
000
jurisdictions
across
the
globe
and
as
of
september
2020,
I
believe
we
have
collected
upwards
of
2.6
billion
and
so
we're
supportive
of
assembly
member
wins
amendment
to
ensure
that
there's
tax
parity
here
and
that
we
can
help
our
community
collect
this
tax.
That
we
know
is
so
vital
to
local
and
state
government.
A
Thank
you
seeing
no
questions.
We
will
move
to
the
next
person
in
opposition
on
zoom,
see
who
that
is.
Do
we
have
anyone
else
in
opposition
on
zoom,
raise
your
hand.
A
I
am
not
seeing
anyone
else,
but
I'm
not
seeing
everyone
so,
okay,
let
me
just
check
the
list.
A
Okay,
seeing
no
one
else
in
opposition
on
the
zoom
is
there
anyone
in
opposition
in
the
room.
B
Thank
you
chair
and
members
of
the
committee
marcos,
lopez,
legislative
liaison
americans
for
prosperity,
nevada.
First,
I
want
to
start
off
with
saying
that
I
hope
the
assemblyman
knows
that
I
have
great
respect
and
reverence
for
her
for
taking
up
this
issue
a
very
complicated
issue
that
we've
been
involved
in
since
2018,
both
at
local
municipalities,
washoe
and
in
clark,
county
city
of
henderson,
north
las
vegas
and
the
city
of
las
vegas.
B
We
believe
the
amendment
is
a
step
in
the
right
direction.
We'd
like
to
see
further
changes,
but
our
real
concerns
is
in
these
distance
separations.
I
think
this
is
a
textbook
example
of
anti-competitive,
protectionist
regulatory
captures
by
certain
industries,
in
particular
boyd
gaming
and
station
casinos.
B
We
know
that
they
are
very
much
against
str's
and
the
airbnb
community
and
operators.
We
respectfully
ask
the
sponsor
to
remove
these
distance
separation
requirements
and
the
minimum
night
requirement.
A
short-term
rent
has
long
offered
nevada
residents
the
opportunity
to
make
some
extra
money
for
themselves
and
their
families.
It's
an
important
source
for
income
for
many
nevadans
of
all
walks
of
life.
Looking
to
share
in
our
state's
robust
tourism
and
gig
economy
in
its
current
form,
ab363
is
the
government
dictating
who
you
can
have
in
your
home.
B
How
many
nights
you
can
have
someone
in
your
home
in
order
to
protect
corporations
over
average
nevadans.
We
strongly
believe
that
str's
need
to
be
treated
in
the
same
manner
as
long-term
renting.
The
activities
that
occur
in
short-term
rentals
are
the
same
as
the
activities
that
occur
in
long-term
rentals.
These
are
not
hotels,
they
do
not
have
concierge
services,
they
have
restaurants,
they
do
have
entertainment,
they
don't
have
physical
security,
they
don't
have
amenities
on
sites.
The
activities
that
occur
in
short-term
rentals
are
fundamentally
not
any
different.
B
For
these
unpaid
phase
of
fees,
we
really
significantly
want
to
get
to
a
position
of
neutral,
because
we
want
to
make
sure
that
these
individuals
are
protected
and
we
fundamentally
believe
in
people,
and
we
urge
progressives
who
oppose
corporatism
and
conservatives
support
property
rights
to
be
united
in
opposing
this
bill.
As
currently
written
on
behalf
of
96
thousand
activists
in
our
organization,
we're
urges
oppose
ab
363.
A
D
Thank
you
very
much
good
evening.
My
name
is
cyrus
sojotti
c-y-r-u-s-h-o-j-j-a-t-y
bottom
line.
I
see
this
is
against
private
property
rights.
It's
pretty
obvious.
The
casino
establishments
are
losing
a
lot
of
their
business
to
other
parties.
It
is
their
responsibility
to
make
their
properties
more
attractive
because
they
have
been
instituting
resort
fees
paid
parking.
Their
service
has
come
down.
This
is
a
threat.
D
It
brings
unacceptable
competition
to
their
establishment,
and
this
really
further
proves
that
nevada
is
really
a
merger
of
state
and
corporate
powers,
particularly
casinos,
along
with
the
phony
labor
unions
that
they're
tied
with
now.
Yes,
there
are
concerns
with
party
houses.
I
do
believe
that
there
are
other
measures
that
can
be
taken
to
strike
them
down,
but
I
don't
think
that
casinos
should
have
power
on
what
people
should
put
on
their
property.
That
is
a
decision
to
local
authorities.
D
And,
yes,
I
understand
the
tax
revenues
can
help,
but
I
fear
that
if
tax
rates
are
so
high
that
it
may
discourage
people
from
using
them,
I
think
that
improved
zoning
and
codes
can
really
do
the
thing.
I
think
this
will
also
create
an
opportunity
for
the
black
market,
where
people
will
just
post
things
on
other
sites
like
craigslist.
D
D
B
B
D
Good
afternoon,
chair
cohen
members
of
the
committee,
my
name
is
robert
callahan
c-a-l-l-a,
I'm
with
the
internet
association.
The
internet
association
represents
more
than
40
the
world's
leading
internet
companies,
and
we
advance
public
policy
solutions
that
foster
innovation,
promote
economic
growth
and
empower
people
through
the
free
and
open
internet.
We
respectfully
oppose
ab363
due
to
its
provisions
that
would
act
as
a
de
facto
ban
on
many
short-term
rentals
in
nevada.
D
While
we
appreciate
that
there
has
been
some
progress
made
with
the
recent
amendments,
we
still
have
serious
concerns
over
the
ban
on
short-term
rentals
within
500
feet
of
one
another,
as
well
as
a
two-night
minimum
requirement.
These
limitations
are
over
broad
and
would
prohibit
a
significant
volume
of
legitimate,
short-term
rental
activity
in
nevada.
Short-Term
rentals
create
an
opportunity
for
homeowners
to
supplement
their
income
and
stimulate
business
growth
in
neighborhoods
previously
untouched
by
tourism.
D
They
also
offer
more
affordable
and
flexible
options
for
guests,
create
new
demand
for
tourism
and
travel
and
bring
tens
of
millions
of
dollars
to
local
communities.
This
adds
to
the
vibrancy
of
local
communities
beyond
the
typical
tourism
districts
and
new
visitors
to
these
neighborhoods
bring
unprecedented
economic
stimulus.
This
means
more
customers
for
main
street
shops
and
locally
owned
businesses
that
tourists
normally
would
wouldn't
have
the
opportunity
to
visit.
So
for
these
reasons,
we
remain
opposed
the
bill
and
urged
removal
of
the
proximity
restrictions
and
the
two
might
tonight
minimum
thanks
for
your
consideration.
B
D
Good
afternoon,
madam
chair
members
of
the
committee
for
the
record,
justin
harrison
j-u-s-t-I-n
h-a-r-r-I-s-o-n,
representing
clark
county
we're
here
today
in
opposition
to
the
bill
is
written.
However,
I
do
want
to
thank
a
summer
woman
win
for
including
us
here
working
groups
and
we
look
forward
to
continuing
to
discuss
further
amendments
to
the
bill.
D
Most
counties
will
have
the
flexibility
in
drafting
their
ordinances
concerning
strs
and
one
will
not.
We
know
each
local
jurisdiction,
even
those
in
clark,
county,
have
unique
characteristics
and
believe
the
prescriptive
provisions
found
in
the
bill
will
not
allow
all
jurisdictions
the
flexibility
to
determine
the
best
public
policy
for
matters
of
local
concern
in
their
individual
communities.
D
I
appreciate
assemblywoman
nguyen
mentioning
continuing
to
address
enforcement.
However,
the
lack
of
enforcement
provisions
in
the
bill
do
not
provide
local
jurisdictions
who
are
charged
with
enforcement.
The
tools
to
gain
compliance
over
properties
operating
both
legally
and
illegally,
it's
our
hope
to
see
dual
track
enforcement
provisions,
one
for
properties
operating
with
a
permit
or
license,
and
those
operating
without
constituents
in
our
community
are
asking
for
strong
enforcement.
D
Additionally,
you'll
see
posted
emails
that
clark
county
has
filed
a
3.8
million
dollar
fiscal
note
on
the
bill
over
the
biennium
and
that
3.5
million
dollar
note
over
the
future
by
india.
This
is
the
cost
we
can
anticipate,
based
on
our
best
assessment
of
how
many
strs
may
be
operating
or
begin
operating
beyond
incorporated
clark
county.
D
With
that,
madam
chair,
I
will
wrap
up,
but
at
your
direction.
I
also
have
jim
anderson
with
clark
county
code
enforcement,
who
has
signed
in
to
provide
mutual
testimony.
That
includes
current
statistics
and
the
answer
assuming
women
anderson's
questions
and
any
others
that
the
community
have.
Thank
you
so
much.
A
Thank
you.
We
appreciate
that
we'll
have
him
testify
in
neutral
when
we
get
there.
So
with
that
we
will
go
to
the
next
person
in
opposition.
Please.
B
C
Name
is
melissa,
cassidy,
c-a-s-s-I-d-y
and
I'm
opposed
to
this
bill
as
it
is
written
currently
with
the
amendments
I
started
hosting
on
airbnb
four
years
ago
and
had
accumulated
over
a
thousand
bookings.
Not
one
time
was
there
an
incident
with
police
or
my
neighbors.
I
have
hosted
and
introduced
our
city
to
people
from
over
45
countries.
Being
an
airbnb
host
has
allowed
me
financial
freedom
without
working
myself
to
death.
C
As
I
was
doing,
I
have
been
a
culinary
bartender
and
food
server
for
over
21
years
I
was
working
on
multiple
properties,
often
times
working
double
shifts
of
12
to
16
hours
a
day.
I
love
my
job,
but
I
needed
to
find
another
source
of
income
to
lighten
the
toll
on
my
body.
Being
a
host
has
allowed
me
to
take
shorter
shifts
and
less
shifts
in
a
week
hosting
allowed
me
to
focus
those
energies
on
improving
my
home
for
visitors.
Those
desires
allowed
me
to
employ
friends
and
professionals
from
across
las
vegas.
C
All
of
the
all
of
that
is
written
in
past
tense
as
it
came
to
a
halt.
In
january,
when
I
was
reported
to
code
in
first
enforcement
by
a
bitter
neighbor
with
a
personal
grudge
unrelated
to
hosting
being
shut
down,
is
unreasonable.
As
I
host
in
my
home
I
live
in,
I
do
not
throw
parties.
My
home
is
not
loud
or
disruptive
to
my
neighbors.
If
it
was,
I
wouldn't
have
been
able
to
do
this
business
successfully
for
four
years.
C
There
are
all
kinds
of
travelers
that
keep
up
with
the
world
and
provide
them
all
kinds
of
options
in
vegas
I
miss
hosting.
I
miss
my
guests.
I
urge
you
to
make
airbnb
legal,
but
without
the
proposed
arbitrary
distance
restrictions,
the
district's
restrictions
from
str
to
casinos
is
arbitrary
and
eliminates
29
million
square
feet
of
voters,
private
properties
and
short-term
rentals.
The
proposed
distance
between
short-term
rentals
is
also
arbitrary.
There's
less
than
200
police
reports
about
airbnb.
Many
speakers
have
over
emphasized
the
problem
at
airbnb.
C
B
C
Hello,
my
name
is
malie
simpson
m-a-l-e-e-s-I-m-p-s-o-n.
I
am
currently
at
sc
our
operator
in
henderson
and
I
have
been
a
long-term
resident
of
las
vegas
clark
county
over
40
years.
I've
raised
four
kids
here.
I
appreciate
this
bill
and,
although
I'm
opposed
because
of
some
of
the
provisions,
mainly
the
distance
rule
and
the
reason
why
I
will
tell
you-
has
personally
affected
my
ability
to
earn
income
through
my
rental
property,
I
purchased
a
property
in
henderson
that
was
blocked
by
another
property
because
of
their
thousand
foot
distance
rule.
C
C
So
I
think-
and
I
appreciate
all
that
has
went
into
this
bill
and
but
I
do
think
the
distance
rule
is
the
main
issue
here,
because
I
see
that
it's
gonna
pit
neighbor
against
neighbor
and
it's
also
gonna-
put
those
houses
that
are
available
in
the
circles
that
henderson
has
now
and
those
houses
are
going
to
be
the
prices
of
the
house.
That
can
do
it
and
one
that
can't
it's
going
to
be
a
huge
difference.
So
I
think
the
distance
rule
is
is
something
that
I
definitely
oppose
and
that's
from
my
own
personal
experience.
B
D
I
have
personal
experience
with
the
short-term
rentals
in
three
respects.
I've
been
the
president
of
our
local
neighborhood
association
near
downtown
las
vegas.
I'm
also
a
member
currently
of
the
city
of
las
vegas
planning,
commissioner,
and
I
also
use
short-term
rentals,
occasionally
here
in
nevada
and
elsewhere.
D
In
other
words,
if
there's
a
third
rail
of
local
land
use
issues
in
nevada,
it
is
the
issue
of
short-term
rentals,
given
the
disproportionate
impact
that
this
bill
will
have
on
our
neighborhoods
in
clark
county
that
are
not
governed
by
an
hoa.
I
urge
you
to
act
carefully
with
deliberation
and,
most
importantly,
I
ask
you
to
seek
input
from
those
citizens
from
communities
like
mine
that
have
struggled
with
short-term
rentals
over
the
past
several
years.
D
D
First,
any
state
law
governing
short-term
rentals
must
allow
local
communities
the
discretion
of
whom
to
license
and
what
regulations
should
be
imposed
on
the
operation
of
short-term
rentals.
For
example,
the
city
of
las
vegas
determined
that
an
appropriate
distance
separation
between
short-term
rentals
is
660
feet,
whereas
the
city
of
henderson
requires
1
000
feet.
D
Second,
this
bill
lacks
a
workable
enforcement
mechanism.
I
would
ask
that
you
listen
carefully
to
our
local
leaders
and
include
in
whatever
form
they
advise
a
civil
mechanism
of
enforcement
that
will
weed
out
bad
operators
from
our
neighborhoods,
sir,
and
we're
in
two
minutes.
So
if
you
can
wrap
it
up,.
A
D
B
D
We
sincerely
appreciate
assemblywoman's
rachelle
wen's
interest
in
short-term
rental
and
commend
her
on
keeping
the
lines
of
communication
open.
Unfortunately,
the
great
las
vegas
short
term
rental
association
cannot
support
ab363
in
its
current
form
more
than
anyone.
Here
today,
we
would
like
to
see
the
statewide
legalization
of
short-term
rentals.
However,
many
of
the
provisions
in
the
bill,
especially
distance
separation,
among
other
things,
keep
us
from
being
able
to
endorse
this
legislation
as
good
for
short-term
rental
operators.
D
A
whole
magnitude
of
people
benefit
from
sprs,
empty
nesters,
retire
senior
citizens
on
a
fixed
income,
people
that
have
lost
their
jobs
due
to
covet
19
parents
trying
to
help
put
their
children
through
college
homeowners
that
have
been
settled
with
high
medical
bills
are
struggling
to
pay
their
mortgage
sons
and
daughters
trying
to
take
care
of
their
elderly
parents
among
others.
I
don't
think
we
are
ready
to
tell
any
of
those
families.
We
can
support
a
bill
that
will
take
away
their
ability
to
take
care
of
their
family.
D
We
have
an
opportunity
to
benefit
the
state
and
individual
nevada
from
a
new
growing
and
thriving
industry,
that
is
the
short-term
rental
industry,
and
instead
of
limiting
its
growth
and
benefits
to
a
few,
we
should
be
doing
everything
in
our
power
to
protect
and
grow
it
for
the
benefit
of
all
in
our
state.
Thank
you.

Hello,
my
name
is
brittany,
walker,
b-r-I-t-t-a-n-y
w-a-l-k-e-r,
I'm
here
in
opposition
to
assembly,
bill
363,
representing
boulder
city,
nevada,
boulder
city
is
really
grateful
to
the
sponsors
to
for
bringing
this
bill
forward.
An
assembly
woman
win
we're
working
so
hard
with
stakeholders
on
addressing
the
issue.
E
Boulder
city
overall
is
supportive
of
the
concept
and
thanks
assemblywoman
nguyen
for
trying
to
address
this
challenging
and
complex
problem
the
local
governments
face.
However,
we
are
in
opposition
due
to
section
20,
subsection
3,
which
prohibits
local
governments
from
enacting
a
regulation
that
would
prohibit
the
operation
of
short-term
rentals
in
their
jurisdictions.

D
Good
evening
my
name
is
steve:
sher
s-h-u-r,
madam
chair,
I'm
the
president
of
the
travel
technology
association.
My
members
include
airbnb
vervo,
booking.com
and
many
others,
I'm
here
today
in
opposition
to
this
bill.
In
its
current
form,
the
bill
will
severely
restrict
short-term
rental
to
nevada
and
may
have
effectively
be
an
all-out
ban,
specifically
the
distance
requirement.
D
Nearly
75
percent
of
consumers,
who
are
very
likely
to
travel
this
year
believe
that
short-term
rentals
provide
a
valuable
alternative
to
other
lodging
options
when
considering
travel
priorities
like
safety
precautions
and
lastly,
73
percent
indicate
that
they
will
travel
in
state
this
year,
which
means
this
bill
will
affect
nevada
citizens
as
well.
Short-Term
rental
guests
stay
on
average,
stay
longer
and
spend
more
money
than
hotel
gas,
and
at
a
time
when
our
industry,
your
industry,
is
coming
out
of
one
of
the
worst
pandemics
or
worst
years
ever
economically
as
a
result
of
the
pandemic.
D
Now
is
not
the
time
to
restrict
short-term
rentals
as
an
accommodations
option
for
those
travelers
who
are
seeking
to
stay
there.
Travelers
want
options.
Homeowners
want
the
ability
to
earn
some
extra
income,
particularly
in
this
difficult
economic
environment,
and
we
should
be
opening
all
the
doors
to
all
forms
of
accommodations
to
attract
visitors
at
pre-pandemic
levels.
A
ab
363
does
the
opposite.
D
A
B
B
D
D
I
think
everybody
made
some
good
arguments
in
terms
of
why
they
there
are
benefits,
and
you
know
negative
parts
of
it,
but
one
of
them
specifically
was
the
revenue
and
the
tax
revenue.
That's
been
missed
by
having
short
terms
not
being
regulated
and
that's
completely
accurate.
D
E
D
Path
but
it's
lacking
quite
a
lot
of
data
in
order
to
make
you
know
an
informative
decision.
I
believe
you
know
we
didn't
get
information,
how
many
of
the
actual
complaints
or
short-term
rentals
or
any
places
like
that.
So
I
don't
necessarily
think
that
this
bill
as
it
stands
right
now,
is
mature
enough
to
move
forward
with
some
amendments
specifically.
A

B
C
Yes,
my
name
is
linda
regal
r-I-e-g-l-e.
I
live
in
unincorporated
clark
county.
I
oppose
the
legislation
for
the
basic
premise
that
it
recognizes
short-term
rentals
be
allowed
in
residential
neighborhoods.
You
too
have
recognized
that
principle
by
exempting
hoas
we
have
bought
our
homes
and
investors
as
well.
Knowing
that
zoning
limited
commercial
activity,
including
short-term
rentals,
while
there
may
be
mom
and
pops
running
rooms,
the
majority
of
these
units
are
investors
who
have
bought
multiple
properties
and
turn
them
into
hotels.
C
Vegas
is
a
place.
People
come
to
party.
Many
expect
fully
to
have
a
quote.
What
happens
here?
Stays
here
experience.
This
is
what
makes
our
town
the
tourist
town
it
is,
but
it
belongs
in
tourist
zones.
A
quick
search
on
one
platform
shows
50
properties,
advertising,
they
speak
20
guests
or
more
illegal,
short-term
rentals
have
been
operating
for
a
while
and
we
shouldn't
let
them
make
the
tail
that
wags
the
dog.
Similarly,
if
we
would
think
that
shoplifting
is
prevalent,
we
should
just
eliminate
that
as
an
offense.
C
That
isn't
what
should
happen
if
short-term
rentals
are
to
be
allowed.
This
bill
has
a
number
of
good
points,
but
the
provisions
must
be
strengthened
now
there
must
be
a
strict
annual
permit
process.
Those
who
have
operated
illegally
must
not
be
grandfathered
in
they
have
violated
the
law.
They
should
not
be
given
advantages.
C
If
complaints
are
filed,
the
permits
cannot
be
renewed
annually.
Strs
must
comply
with
fire
and
safety
regulations,
pay
permit
fees
to
enable
localities
and
force
regulations
and
pay
taxes.
Occupancy
must
be
limited.
You
cannot
also
allow
based
on
the
number
of
bedrooms,
because
what
we've
seen
in
this
neighborhood
is
houses
being
turned
into
bunk
houses.

Thank
you
to
assembly,
woman
nguyen
and
the
revenue
assembly
and
chair.
I
am
a
real
estate
broker,
property
manager,
member
of
the
national
federation
of
independent
businesses,
an
str
owner
co-founder
of
short-term
rental
associations,
henderson
and
then,
most
importantly,
a
single
mom
of
twin
fourteen-year-old
boys.
I
oppose
ab363
as
written.
C
I
do
totally
support
making
them
legal
throughout
nevada
and
appreciate
all
the
work
that
has
been
done
with
with
the
legalizations
of
short-term
rentals
in
henderson
in
2019,
I
turned
our
family
home
into
one
in
return,
I
have
been
able
to
support
my
family
and
able
to
build
a
future
for
my
boys,
so
they
can
own
their
own
when
they
are
of
age
and
not
have
to
struggle
in
life,
as
so
many
people
do,
but
the
way
the
proposed
law
is
currently
written.
We
would
lose
this
income
with
our
dreams
crushed.
C
I
think
it
is
important
for
people
to
understand
how
a
short-term
rental
really
works
and
that
the
stereotype
of
them
and
the
media
is
wrong.
We
open
our
home
to
families
wanting
to
get
away
together
in
a
safe,
clean
and
fun
environment.
We
do
not
promote
or
allow
parties
the
bad
guests
we
get
on
occasion
are
usually
because
airbnb
didn't
vet
them
well,
and
that
is
an
entirely
new
subject
that
needs
to
be
addressed.
C
I
as
well
as
many
other
owners
have
security
measures
in
place
and
we
are
prepared
for
possible
problems
and
stop
them
before
they
become
true
problems
with
a
well-written
law.
This
could
be
a
mandate
for
all
hosts.
The
guests
that
stay
at
our
house
go
to
local
casinos,
as
well
as
the
ones
on
the
strip
and
downtown
they
shop
at
the
local
grocery
store
go
to
family
owned
restaurant
bars,
salons,
where
cheeks
can
spend
their
money.
We
have
written
data,
we
can
share
about
how
much
they
spend
it
helps
our
community
immensely.
C
The
state
is
losing
out
on
millions
of
dollars.
They
could
be
making
if
they
wrote
a
good
law
for
each
for
short-term
rentals
with
each
owner
paying
taxes
without
a
good
law.
The
7,
500
plus
illegal
ones,
will
continue
to
run
underground,
and
the
state
makes
nothing
yet
to
exert
the
manpower
and
expense
for
problems
that
arise.
Wouldn't
it
make
more
sense
to
write
reasonable
laws
and
state,
collect
the
tax
and
create
more
jobs.
I
absolutely
change
that
to
still
be
changed
to
be
fair
and
reasonable
or
kill
it.
B
C
C
C
I
believe
that
the
proliferation
of
short-term
rentals
is
a
myth,
because
volume
in
an
area
lowers
a
nightly
price
through
supply
and
demand.
It
would
eventually
make
short-term
running
in
that
area
unattractive
to
the
potential
host
or
the
investor.
Regarding
revenue.
The
money
from
home,
short-term
rental
stays
in
the
area
host,
pay,
local
carpenters,
cleaners,
electricians
plumbers,
but
they
also
spend
the
money
at
home
depot
and
walmart
locally.
I
know
this
for
a
fact:
short-term
rentals
are
good
for
the
local
economy.
C
B
C
Good
evening,
thank
you
for
taking
my
call
renee
brown
b-r-o-w-n,
I'm
a
residential
short-term
host.
I
am
not
opposed
to
regulations,
standards,
additional
insurance
and
inspections.
I
also
do
not
oppose
paying
reasonable
permit
fees
to
accomplish
standardization
and
protect
the
community
that
we've
lived
in
for
45
years.
C
I
do,
however,
oppose
a
two
night
and
three
night
minimum.
We
live
on
site
and
list
exclusively
on
the
airbnb
platform.
We
have
never
experienced
any
issues
with
our
guests
or
our
neighbors,
who
are
aware
and
support
our
short-term
rental.
Although
we've
had
people
try
to
have
parties,
we've
always
been
able
to
thwart
it.
C
Many
of
our
guests
are
travelers
between
salt
lake,
san
francisco,
las
vegas,
northern
california
and
the
oregon
coast.
Some
of
those
travelers
are
from
around
the
world
visiting
america
for
the
first
time
and
we
are
honored
that
they
have
chosen
to
stay
with
us
after
eight
hours
of
traveling.
Reno
is
the
perfect
one
night
stop
to
rest
and
refresh
our
guests,
usually
eat
out,
fill
up
their
gas
tanks
and
then
come
back
for
a
good
night's
sleep
leave
early
and
continue
on
their
journey.
C
C
C
C
B
D
D
Aside
from
that,
most
of
the
matters
in
this
bill
should
be
left
to
local
governments
to
regulate,
as
is
the
case
with
most
other
local
licensing
matters.
If
the
cities
and
counties
believe
short
terms
were
a
serious
problem,
they
would
require
these
regulations.
These
businesses
undergo
privileged
licensing
requirements,
which
would
include
thorough
background
investigation,
financial
review,
et
cetera,
there's
already
a
mechanism
to
enforce
regulations
against
unlicensed
short-term
rentals.
There
is
already
mechanism
for
local
jurisdictions
for
licensed
shore
terminals.

My

rachel
hopper
r-a-c-h-e-l-h-o-p-e-r
and
I'm
a
resident
of
las
vegas
co-founder
for
the
short-term
rental
association
for
henderson
and
str
operator
of
two
licensed
properties.
Since
2017.
there's
a
lot.
I
could
tell
you
today.
I
could
share
that.
I
posted
over
800
days
with
zero
issues
and
fractions
or
neighbor
complaints.
I
could
let
you
know
how
much
I
paid
in
taxes
over
the
years
or
that
three
of
my
co-workers
started
working
with
me
when
they
were
laid
off
during
the
pandemic
by
strip
hotels
and
because
of
the
work
provided
by
my
str's.
E
They
were
able
to
stay
off
unemployment.
I
could
share
the
fact
that
I
list
my
properties
on
a
travel
website
for
families
of
children
with
special
needs
and
that
over
the
years
I've
hosted
about
50
of
these
families
that
would
never
visit
vegas
if
they
weren't
able
to
stay
in
a
house.
I
could
share
that.
I
offered
both
my
homes
to
victims
of
california
wildfires
and
to
frontline
workers
during
the
pandemic
and
after
the
october
one
shooting.
I
had.
E
Two
families
stay
one
right
after
while
waiting
for
news
of
their
loved
one,
and
on
the
first
anniversary
I
hosted
a
survivor
who
came
back
to
vegas
for
healing,
but
due
to
her
ptsd
couldn't
stay
on
the
strip.
Yes,
there's
a
lot,
I
can
share
with
you
about
the
good
str's
have
done
for
local
communities
in
our
state,
but
I
actually
want
to
share
more
personal
data
with
you
72
and
4.
That's
my
mom's
age
and
the
stage
of
her
cancer.
E
Five.
That's
how
many
days
a
week
she
has
chemotherapy
or
a
lab
test
or
another
doctor's
appointment.
18.,
that's
the
average
hours
a
day
that
has
her
sole
caregiver
iceman,
taking
her
to
and
from
appointments
helping
her
with
chores
of
daily
living,
administering
her
medications
or
helping
her
hold
her
one-year-old
grandbaby.
While
she
still
can
zero
that's
how
much
financial
support
medicare
would
provide
right
now
for
a
full-time
home
health
aide.
E
I
want
sdrs
to
be
legalized
in
nevada,
but
I
oppose
ab363
as
written
with
a
distant
separation,
two
night
minimum,
an
occupancy
regulation
that
counts
kids
of
any
age
as
an
adult
ab363
robs
my
daughter
of
getting
to
know
her
grandma
and
me
of
those
final
moments
with
my
mom,
and
I
would
have
to
go
back
to
work
full-time
to
make
up
for
the
potential
loss
of
this
str
income
before
you
go
to
vote.
I
hope
you
remember
this
data,
this
story
and
my
plea
for
you
to
vote
no
in
its
current
state
on
ab363.
E
B
D
Yeah
hi,
my
name
is
johnny
desmond
at
d-e-s-m-a-n.
First,
I
appreciate
assembly
woman
win
for
being
open
and
willing
to
make
this
right
for
everyone.
However,
for
str
operators,
bill
ab363
is
extremely
concerning
and
I
oppose
it
as
written
with
the
way
the
provisions
are
written
in
this
bill.
This
could
be
the
final
blow
to
not
only
the
majority
of
str-operated
businesses
but
to
our
livelihood
with
the
long
500
feet.
Distant
restriction
between
str's
and
the
2500
feet.
Distance
requirements
from
gaming
centers,
so
many
str's
are
automatically
eliminated
without
a
fighting
chance.
D
Look,
we've
heard
all
the
lazy
excuses
that
the
white
people
believe
str's
are
bad
one
they're,
just
party
houses.
I
can
tell
you
I've
not
had
a
single
party
at
my
ftr.
I
provide
rules
and
guidelines
for
guests
to
follow
and
to
be
broken.
It
is
made
clear
that
I
can
take
action
or
ask
a
guest
to
leave
and
nine
times
out
of
ten.
My
guests
are
traveling
business
people
or
families
on
vacation.
Not
people
looking
to
have
a
party.
D
Another
bad
excuse
is
str's
are
bad
for
businesses
for
our
local
or
bad
for
business,
for
our
local
hotels
and
casinos.
I
challenge
everyone
to
name
the
number
of
hotels,
casinos
or
gaming
centers
that
have
been
forced
to
shut
their
doors
due
to
str
nearby
I'll
save
you
the
time.
The
answer
is:
zero,
none,
absolutely
not,
but
if
this
bill
passes,
thousands
of
independent
owners
will
be
forced
to
shut
theirs.
It
is
time
for
a
new
approach
instead
of
setting
so
many
restrictions
that
make
it
nearly
impossible
to
qualify.
D
Why
not
handle
situations
where
owners
are
operating
irresponsibly
when
those
individual
incidents
occur?
This
is
las
vegas
we're
supposed
to
be
one
of
the
most
innovative
cities
in
the
world.
These
restrictions
make
us
look
like
we
are
behind
the
time
by
a
mile.
It's
time
that
people
see
str's
are
actually
good
for
the
economy
and
offer
travelers
a
new
way
to
experience
our
lovely
city
all
while
pouring
money
into
our
local
neighborhood.
We
are
about
to
enter
the
post-pandemic
life
and
the
way
travelers
prefer
to
lodge
will
never
be
the
same.
D
A
Thank
you
with
that.
We
are
almost
to
the
end
of
opposition,
but
I
do
believe
the
city
of
las
vegas
would
like
to
make
a
statement.
So
please
go
ahead.
Mrs.
B
B
We
also
know
how
incredibly
difficult
it
is
to
balance
the
multitude
of
interests,
especially
neighborhoods
and
neighbors,
with
genuine
entrepreneurs.
The
process
to
get
the
city's
current
ordinance
that
we
currently
have
was
extensive.
It
was
exhaustive
and
exhausting
and
it
was
contentious,
and
then
we
thought
it
was
done,
except
it
wasn't.
Even
after
the
ordinance
was
enacted,
public
meetings
on
specific,
short-term
rental
applications
were
regularly
lasted
for
hours,
most
often
stretching
late
into
the
night
and
into
the
early
morning
hours.
This
industry
is
constantly
changing
and
the
city
must
change
along
with
it.
B
We
remain
ever
vigilant
on
our
efforts
of
enforcement
and
compliance
efforts
and
those
efforts
guide.
Our
response
to
ever-changing
short-term
rental
market
through
local
ordnance
in
this
regard,
every
community
must
retain
the
authority
and
responsibility
to
take
similar
course
of
action,
namely
to
address
the
issue
in
the
manner
best
suited
for
their
unique
circumstances
within
their
unique
community.
B
I
do
have
some
more
testimony.
That's
way
more
than
two
minutes,
so
I'm
going
to
submit
that
for
the
record.
We
have
also
submitted
that
to
assemblywoman
nguyen.
We
appreciate
all
the
work
she's
done
to
talk
with
the
jurisdictions
that
will
inevitably
have
to
enforce
these
restrictions,
and
we
look
forward
to
talking
with
all
of
you
to
answer
any
of
your
questions
offline.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
Thank
you,
ms
crompton,
and
and
as
a
reminder,
ms
crumpton
brought
up
a
good
point.
If
there
was
someone
who
wasn't
able
to
testify
or
feels
that
they
didn't
get
to
say
everything
they
wanted
to
say,
please
feel
free
to
submit
your
written
testimony
in
opposition
or
support,
and
we
will
take
a
look
of
that.
Everyone
on
the
committee
will
get
that
so
we're
now
going
to
go
to
neutral,
and
I
will
remind
people
that
neutral
is
just
providing
information,
not
taking
a
stand
on
the
bill
in
in
any
way.
A
So
I
don't
think
we
have
anyone
on
the
zoom.
But
let
me
double
check.
A
But,
oh
okay,
so
without
seeing
anyone
on
the
zoom,
is
there
anyone
in
the
room
in
neutral,
seeing
no
one?
We
will
go
to
the
phones.
We
will
also
have
the
45
minutes
time
limit,
although
I
doubt
we'll
get
there.
So
please
go
ahead
with
the
first
caller
in
neutral.
If
we
have
anyone.
B
B
C
C
I
very
much
appreciate
the
work
that
assemblywoman
went
has
put
into
this
effort.
We've
had
we
have
met
a
few
times
and
I
know
having
helped
with
the
outreach
in
washoe
county
on
our
ordinance
just
how
many
stakeholders
there
are
in
this
discussion
and
the
different
desired
outcomes
from
so
many
of
the
stakeholders.
C
Our
recently
adopted
ordinance
in
washoe
county
took
five
years
to
put
together
and
was
passed
as
a
balanced
approach
to
the
different
stakeholders,
concerns
related
to
short-term
rentals
in
washoe
county.
We
appreciate
that
our
ordinance
may
not
be
perfect,
but
we
are
comfortable
that
we
are
in
a
good
place
and
it
was
passed
by
my
board.
I
am
happy
to
work
with
assemblywoman
wynn
in
the
future
should
she
or
anybody
else
desire
to
look
at
creating
statewide
rules
in
the
future.
C
A
Thank
you
next
person
in
opposition,
please
next
sorry,
next
person
in
neutral,
please.
B
E
Good
evening,
madam
chair
and
members
of
the
committee,
my
name
is
christine
hess,
that's
c-h-r-I-s-t-I-n-e
h-e-s-s
and
I
am
the
executive
director
for
the
nevada
housing
coalition.
The
nevada
housing
coalition
is
a
statewide
nonprofit
established
to
advance
and
promote
affordable
housing
for
all
nevadans
with
members
representing
the
public
and
private
sectors,
urban
and
rural
across
nevada.
E
We
appreciate
this
opportunity
to
provide
our
neutral
testimony
on
ab363
around
the
country.
Communities
are
having
discussions
about
how
to
mitigate
the
impacts
of
short-term
rentals
on
their
housing
affordability.
There
is
research
that
shows
that
there
may
be
harmful
impacts,
especially
on
first-time
home
buyers
and
low-income
renters.
E
In
fact,
many
communities
recognize
the
impacts
of
short-term
rentals,
both
through
regulatory
solutions
and
by
designating
a
portion
of
their
transient
room
tax
to
affordable
housing
which
helps
our
service
workers
with
safe,
sustainable
housing.
At
this
point,
nevada
housing
coalition
is
still
studying
the
bill
and
the
conceptual
amendment
that
was
just
released.
There
are
still
a
lot
of
moving
parts,
but
we
would
like
to
offer
our
affordable
housing
perspective
and
engagement
in
working
through
this
legislation.
I
would
like
to
thank
assemblywoman
wen
for
her
outreach.
B
D
Thank
you,
chair
cohen,
for
allowing
my
statement
in
neutral.
My
name
is
wesley
harper
w-e-s-l-e-y
h-a-r-p-e-r.
I
am
the
executive
director
of
the
nevada
league
of
cities
and
municipalities.
The
league
has
concerns
about
ab363.
As
conceptually
amended,
we
do
appreciate
the
extraordinary
work
of
assemblyman
assemblywoman
win.
We
appreciate
the
distinguished
members
of
the
assembly
committee
on
revenue
for
considering
this
legislation.
D
Our
concerns
are
based
upon
the
mandates
included
in
the
bill,
specifically
taking
the
recent
conceptual
amendment
into
account.
Section
20
requires
that
each
incorporated
city
in
clark
county
adopt
a
detailed
ordinance
which
is
enumerated
in
the
bill
to
enforce
and
regulate
short-term
rentals.
This
imposes
a
substantial
burden
on
our
municipalities
that
are
not
staffed
or
otherwise
resourced.
To
comply
with
this
mandate.
Additionally,
it
imposes
burdens
on
our
members
that
have
already
enacted
ordinances
to
regulate
this
unique
activity
in
commerce
in
their
jurisdiction.
D
D
We
submit
that
the
manner
and
method
of
how
short-term
rentals
are
governed
primarily
affects
and
impacts
areas
with
located
within
each
incorporated
city.
On
this
basis
alone,
this
bill
threatens
to
overreach
through
the
inclusion
of
a
mandated
ordinance
notwithstanding
the
burden
it
caught
the
burden
and
cost
it
imposes
on
our
members.
D
We
hope
that
the
committee
views
this
bill
with
scrutiny
and
respects
the
purview
of
local
governments
to
properly
govern
according
to
the
direct
and
unique
needs
of
our
residents.
We
would
welcome
the
opportunity
to
continue
discussions
with
assemblywoman
nguyen
and
the
other
sponsors
to
strengthen
this
proposed
legislation.
D
A
Sir,
I
I
don't
think
that
was
exactly
neutral,
so
we're
just
going
to
categorize
that
as
opposition
and
we'll
go
to
the
next
person
in
neutral.
Please.
B
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Let's
go
on
to
the
next
caller
and
and
that
caller
in
neutral
who
you
lost,
can
call
back
in.
B
D
In
the
past
three
years,
clark
county
code
enforcement
has
handled
approximately
2,
500
short-term
rental
cases.
We
currently
have
118
open
and
active
cases
regarding
short-term
rental
violations.
In
the
past
three
years,
133
short-term
rental
cases
have
had
fines
assessed
against
them
of
those
133
active
cases.
76
have
fines
assessed
and
current
enforcement
tools
are
not
effective
in
getting
the
owners
to
cease
operating
illegally.
So
approximately
five
percent
of
all
of
our
short-term
rental
cases
result
in
fines
being
assessed.
D
An
average
of
30
short-term
rental
cases
per
year
reached
the
5
000
fine
threshold
that
is
proposed
in
other
legislation
to
bring
those
fines
on
the
property
and
put
them
on
the
tax
roll
in
2019.
It
was
estimated
that
there
were
over
ten
thousand
short-term
rentals
in
the
las
vegas
valley
and,
in
that
same
year,
was
also
estimated
that
over
6
000
of
them
were
in
unincorporated
clark
county
more
recent
data
suggests
that
we
have
approximately
15
000
short-term
rentals
in
the
las
vegas
valley.
D
So,
while
clark
county
has
ordinance
that
work
well
to
gain
compliance
for
most
of
these
violations,
we
struggle
with
gaining
compliance
from
short-term
property
investors,
whose
focus
is
on
business
versus
preserving
the
character
of
the
neighborhood.
This
concludes
my
comments
and
I'll
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
If
you
have
any
more
about
statistics
or
enforcement.
A
Okay,
so
so,
mr
anderson,
I
guess
I
do
and-
and
this
is
very
anecdotal-
and
I
don't
know
if
you
you'd-
even
be
able
to
to
have
any
information.
But
you
told
us
how
many,
how
many
complaints
there
are.
But
is
there
any
idea
about
how
many
people
just
don't
bother?
Maybe
they
call
the
police
once
or
twice,
but
they
don't
bother
to
go
forward
with
filing
a
complaint
with
code
enforcement.
D
I
don't
have
actual
numbers
on
that.
I
think
we
we've
discussed
many
times.
Some
of
the
challenges
are
people
don't
necessarily
know
who
to
call
if
there's
that
sort
of
violation-
and
one
of
the
challenges
we
face
too,
is
that
often
if
police
are
responding
to
a
noise
complaint
or
a
party
complaint,
it's
not
always
associated
with
being
a
short-term
rental
police
officers
aren't
always
looking
for
that
piece
of
information.
I
think
more
recently
it's
on
the
radar
with
the
increase
in
violent
crime,
but
overall
we
really
don't
know.
A
B
B
D
Yes,
I
would
like
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
anti-libertarian
view
that
this
position
takes.
I
have
been
waiting.
A
Thank
you
very
much
bps,
so
with
that
we
will
invite
assemblywoman
win
back
if
you'd
like
to
make
any
closing
remarks.
A
B
C
Las
vegas,
I'm
a
long
time
short-term
rental
host
owner
with
legal,
short-term
rentals
and
I'm
the
educator
who
wrote
the
textbook
used
in
university
courses
and
real
estate
seminars
on
str
governance,
best
pack
practices.
Now
I've
heard
in
the
testimonies
some
misconceptions
that
I
would
like
to
clarify.
If
I
may,
one
of
them
is
that
str's
may
not
be
remitting
taxes
at
present.
C
Legal
licensed,
short-term
rentals
are
remitting
taxes
and
as
business
owners
who
want
to
keep
our
permits
and
our
licenses
we're
going
to
make
sure
that
we're
remitting
our
taxes,
because
we
don't
want
to
lose
our
licenses.
Now.
The
premise
for
the
bill
that
the
ab
363
has
flawed
because
of
its
its.
A
C
A
C
Me
tell
you
the
the
bill
is
about
facilitators,
accommodations
of
facilitators,
collecting
and
remitting
taxes.
I
I
have
studied
this
in
many
areas
and
I
can
assure
you
that
it
will
not
bring
in
more
taxes
and
it
will
not
make
it
easier
for
officials,
and
the
reason
is
is
because
there
will
be
multiple
accommodations
of
facilitators.
C
Why
do
they
want
to
do?
This
is
because
they'll
make
millions
of
dollars.
So
it's
important
to
understand
that
we
as
legal,
short-term
rental
businesses,
are
remitting
taxes.
This
isn't
an
industry
that
is
not
doing
so
at
present
and
we
will
continue
if
we
want
to
keep
our
licenses
and
we
don't
need
accommodations
facilitators
to
do
so.
That
actually
complicates
things.
So
I
wanted
to
clarify
that,
and
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
do
so,
and
thank
you
for
your
attention
to
this
important
issue.
A
Thank
you
so
with
that
we
will
bring
neutral
testimony
to
a
close
and
have
an
assemblywoman
win.
Make
any
closing
remarks
that
you'd,
like.
F
F
I
know
that
there
was
a
lot
of
testimony
in
opposition.
I
think,
because
of
the
late
nature
of
that
conceptual
amendments,
there
might
be
some
misconceptions
about
who
this
applies
to.
I
think
some
of
the
grandfather
language
that
I
plan
on,
including
in
assembly
bill
363,
will
alleviate
some
of
the
concerns
about
people
concerned
about
losing
their
business
opportunities.
F
A
A
Please
go
ahead
and
I
will
remind
the
caller
and
the
public
that
public
comment
is
a
time
to
address
issues
generally
before
this
committee,
but
not
to
re-hear
the
hearing.
So
please
go
ahead.
B
D
Oh,
I
thought
that
was
still
the
same
hearing.
Okay
have
a
good
evening.
A
Thank
you
if
you
would
like
to
provide
any
testimony,
though,
for
the
363
feel
free
to
provide
it
in
writing.
So
with
that,
I
will
bring
public
comment
to
a
close
anything
from
the
committee.
