CONCORD — Carroll County residents came out in force at a House hearing last week on SB 249, a bill that would bar towns from banning short-term rentals.

The bill, called “Prohibiting planning and zoning ordinances that prohibit short-term rentals,” was before the House Municipal and County Government committee. The hearing ran 10 minutes shy of three hours.
