What it does & where it stands

Incorporates the display of division flags of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Space Force and Coast Guard in the list of flags that associations of condominiums and planned communities cannot prohibit.

For homeowners: Pro-homeowner: it adds the six armed-services division flags to the list associations cannot prohibit outdoors, a targeted display-rights expansion that removes an enforcement ground without otherwise touching HOA authority. Signed into law (Ch. 154).
