Resolution 2020-31175R E S O L U T IO N N O . 2020-31175
A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, STRONGLY
OPPOSING SENATE BILL 1128, AND ITS RELATED BILL,
HOUSE BILL 1011, BOTH OF WHICH SEEK TO PRE-EMPT
THE REGULATION OF SHORT-TERM RENTAL LAWS TO
THE STATE, AND DIRECTING THE CITY CLERK TO SEND
A COPY OF THIS RESOLUTION TO THE MEMBERS OF
THE COMMISSION OF MIAMI-DADE COUNTY AND THE
PRESIDENT OF THE FLORIDA SENATE.
WHEREAS, Senate Bill 1128 ("SB 1128") and its related bill, House Bill 1011 ("HB
1011 "), have been filed for consideration during the 2020 Florida Legislative Session by
Senator Manny Diaz, and House Representatives Jason Fischer, Mike La Rosa, Anthony
Sabatini, and Kimberly Daniels, respectively; and
WHEREAS, SB 1128 seeks to pre-empt regulation and control of all vacation
rentals, including short-term and long-term rentals, to the State under the guise of
"property rights"; and
WHEREAS, the bill also specifically prohibits a local law, ordinance, or regulation
that requires the inspection or licensing of vacation rentals, expressly pre-empting this
authority to the state; and
WHEREAS, SB 1128 further seeks to pre-empt regulation of advertising platforms,
which offer online access to listings for transient public lodging establishments, to the
state; and
WHEREAS, current Florida law already prohibits local laws, ordinances, or
regulations that prohibit vacation rentals or regulate the duration or frequency of rental of
vacation rentals, unless the local law, ordinance, or regulation was adopted on or before
June 1, 2011; and
WHEREAS, the proposed law would negate all local vacation-rental related
ordinances passed since June 1, 2011; and
WHEREAS, there has been no demonstration that local municipalities in Florida
should be deprived of their constitutional home rule powers, or their general powers to
protect the health, safety and welfare of their citizens; and
WHEREAS, uniform state regulations for vacation-rental properties fail to capture
the unique characteristics and needs of local Florida municipalities; and
WHEREAS, opposition to state regulation of vacation rentals has been voiced not
only by local officials but Florida residents as well - a recent St. Pete Polls survey found
that 75% of Floridians want the government closest to them regulating vacation rentals in
their neighborhoods; and
WHEREAS, this concern over uniform regulations is especially applicable to the
City of Miami Beach, where the great majority of investors in short-term rental properties
in the Miami Beach area are conglomerates, not private citizens seeking to supplement
their income; and
WHEREAS, given the unique characteristics of Miami Beach, city officials are best-
suited to ensure that regulations governing short-term rentals reflect what their respective
communities need and want; and
WHEREAS, as such, the Mayor and City Commission declare their strong
opposition to SB 1128 and HB 1011 and any substitute or similar legislation which
preempts the authority of local municipalities to protect their citizens.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT DULY RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, that the Mayor and City
Commission hereby strongly oppose Senate Bill 1128, and its related bill, House Bill
1011, which seeks to pre-empt the regulation of short-term rental laws to the State, and
direct the City Clerk to send a copy of this Resolution to the members of the Commission
of Miami-Dade County and the President of the Florida Senate.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 12th day of February, 2020.
