AI Summary
This bill amends the Massachusetts General Laws to prohibit condominium associations from restricting a unit owner's right to display the flag of the United States on a flagpole, base, or stand in a limited common area where the owner has exclusive possession or use. It also allows unit owners to display an official flag of the U.S. Armed Forces or a Prisoner of War/Missing in Action flag in a window of their unit, as long as the flag is no larger than 4.5 feet by 6 feet and its display is consistent with federal laws and regulations. The bill further prohibits condominium associations from entering into agreements that would restrict or impair a unit owner's right to display these flags.
