you have to be there during the stay and there are fines that regularity this and the platform that would be an aiir b & b? is there a booking regulation? >> we want them to obviously make sure people who are hosts, who are being at aiir b & b or brbo, there's lots of them out there. we may make sure people in compliance. there are some people unwittingly don't know they should have a license moderate to do it now and part of the reason is because there in a cohesive regulatory framework that lays it out. there are other people who are intentionally, if louting the law. there's one it's a 21 unit apartment building was being rented out for short term rentals on brbo. and that is what we're seeking to go after. you heard the intro with the add that's being paid for by aiir b &

it is simply not accurate. and aiir b & b is a 30 billion dollars corporation who really doesn't care about quality of life of resident. what i'd like to be clear about is it does not prohibit aiir b & b from operating in the district of columbia nor women like in the add for renting out their units >> how similar is it to things like uber? is it sort of regulating it for safety measures as well? >> absolutely. >> inspection and things like that. >> the problem is, jim, the scheme, the regulatory framework on the books now, does not clearly carve out how the district with tools they need. what we're trying to do is make it easy for potential hosts who would like to rent out their housing for a short term rentals but also for the government to have the tools they need to be able to enforce the laws we put on the books >> it also mentions something about accusing you siding with big hotels. we have ma

marriott. have you heard? are these companies, have they been vocal in supporting something like this or do they see aiir b & b cuts into their bottom line >> the reality is they're just all over the country who are regulating in this area, because this is a case where the laws have not caught up with the technology. and so what i want to say to be clear. this is not prohibiting aiir b & b from operating in the district of columbia. >> what if someone has three, four, if they have an apartment and maybe two, three, rooms, why couldn't they pay a licensing fee and go with three >> we don't people who are trying to have multiple homes to crews commercial activities. we have zoning laws on the books and we want areas of the books zoned for residential housing to remain zoned for residential housing for residents and families who happen to live and not become those places that are full of transient short terms. >> there are

offering legislations, san francisco is one where they want to inspectors to verify each property. aiir b & b is not for that. i believe they're based on the west coast >> they're based that san francisco. they'd rather advocate the responsibility for certifying somebody is in compliance with the host. they want to get the money, but they don't want to really put in the effort and work to make sure they're certifying people are in compliance with the law. >> before we go, we showed the list, if somebody has a place under the bill. would they play a fee each year >> there would be a license that you have to get and there would be a specific license for a short term rental. that would be left up to the agency in charge to work out the regulations. but again, this is really protecting residents. this is protecting the character and integrity of neighborhoods and making sure that the concern we've heard with party houses and others who are negatively affecting quality of life of residents. people who live here and pay taxe

ask aiir b & b to be a good partner and support sensible regulations >> it's before the committee. >> so we just introduced it it's before the committee. hopefully they will have a hearing and we'd love everybody to come down testify about their experiences. >> sarah back over to you. will montgomery county remain a sanctuary for immigrants even after president trump's executive order? ronica >> sarah, community leaders, police officers, service providers, they just had a meeting for over two hours speaking about the future of immigration in montgomery county. we're going to have the details after the break. caitlin >> record breaking temperatures in the 70's still beautiful. 64 but the winds out of the northwest mean a cold front passed. cold front air is on the move. so cold after a high 74, we expect snow by thursday morning. we've been talking about this for days, still on ac

will stick. it doesn't look like much right now as you see the snow moving through the ohio valley making it to the ground and the laurel high lands in south central pennsylvania but it is a stolenning storm system as it rounds then over us and into the northeast it will be stronger deeper and that's why there's blizzard warnings out towards the north and east. rain doesn't start to enter until after midnight. it could begin as snow, as easily as places like hagerstown. it's during that overnight time frame 3:00 to 5:00 a.m. that we see the dramatic change from rain to snow. it may be heavy. this is at 5:00 a.m. montgomery county it's snowing, even the top side of the belt seeing snow. by 8:00 a.m. the exception being extreme southern maryland and into delmarva. we saw out there and it's probably not going to get below 40 untilft
