This bill protects members' political activity and political signs from HOA restrictions, continuing Arizona's line of bills limiting how much a board can regulate political speech inside a community.
In short: Protects members' political activity and political signs from HOA restrictions.
Signed into law (Ch. 61) Mixed
Allows a condominium or planned community association that restricts vehicular or pedestrian access to prevent an individual from entering the premises unless accompanied by a member, unit owner or resident. ?
For homeowners: Narrow. In an already-gated community it lets the association bar an unaccompanied outsider — a canvasser or solicitor — while leaving members and their invited guests unaffected and preserving residents' own speech rights. It modestly helps residents control who enters, but it's a small, access-limiting change, so we read it as Mixed.
