Front and center on the first day of the January session, the RI House and Senate overrode Governor McKee’s veto of my short-term rental registration bill. While there has been a lot of misinformation about this law, it simply requires that if a property owner wants to advertise their property on any third-party rental site, they must register with the RI Department of Business Regulation (DBR). Right now, DBR is writing the rules and regulations for full implementation of the law.
