City leaders decided that they will not require Airbnb and other short-term rental operators to carry insurance.

When the Lawrence City Commission voted Sept. 19 to require permits and licenses for short-term rentals, some said they were unsure about a $1 million insurance requirement and would like to to discuss it further. At its meeting Tuesday, the commission voted 4-1, with Commissioner Leslie Soden against, to strike that requirement from the regulations.
