HOAs frequently restrict political yard signs. This bill limits how an association can restrict members' political signs on their own property, protecting political speech in the run-up to elections.
In short: Limits how an HOA can restrict members' political signs on their property.
Signed into law (Ch. 103) Pro-homeowner
Alters the definition of a political sign displayed by a condominium unit owner or homeowner's association member by including certain flags and allowing signs without regard to if the person supported or opposed on the sign is on the ballot of the upcoming election.
For homeowners: Pro-homeowner: it expands the protected political-sign definition to include flags meant to influence an election, so associations cannot treat those flags as prohibited displays. It is a narrow speech-protection tweak rather than a broad limit on HOA power. Signed into law (Ch. 103).
