(Albany, NY)- State Senator John J. Bonacic (R/C/I-Mt. Hope) stood with hundreds of Airbnb hosts and advocates today to urge passage of legislation that he sponsors which would reform home-sharing in New York. The bill, S.7182, would modernize existing laws to ensure responsible New Yorkers can continue to earn extra income by opening their doors to guests while addressing public safety concerns and providing $100 million in new tax revenue. Airbnb offers long and short-term rentals and operates all over the world. In New York City alone, there are 40,000 hosts.
