Summary

The bill lets California Indian tribes enforce the same short‑term rental reporting, licensing and tax‑collection requirements that cities and counties already use. It also bars the state from issuing permits for new Class III landfills unless the local county holds a public hearing on environmental‑justice impacts. The measures aim to improve oversight of short‑term rentals and protect disadvantaged communities from new landfill projects.
