One of the recurring themes in short term rental (STR) regulation in the United States is legislation at the state level looking to limit local jurisdictions' ability to regulate STRs. Such laws, championed by free-market Republicans, often only allow local jurisdictions to enact a certain set of regulations (permitting, fees), but bar them from any outright bans. Arizona passed such a law in 2016, but has met fervent push back from localities; now, many are calling for that laws repeal.
