Bill Summary
Amends the Common Interest Community Association Act. Provides that an association may not prohibit any resident or owner from making reasonable renovations, modifications, or any other change to the inside or outside of the resident's or owner's home if the renovation, modification, or other change is to accommodate the resident's or owner's health condition or disability so long as the renovation, modification, or other change does not extend over or onto neighboring properties, public or common sidewalks, pathways, streets or other public or common areas or elements and does not interfere with traffic or utilities. Provides that such a prohibition or restriction in an association's community instruments that conflicts with or purports to supersede this Section is void and unenforceable. Amends the Condominium Property Act to make the same changes.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Common Interest Community Association Act to protect residents and homeowners with health conditions or disabilities by allowing them to make reasonable renovations or modifications to their homes without interference from homeowners' associations (HOAs). Specifically, the bill permits residents to make changes to the inside or outside of their home to accommodate a health condition or disability, as long as these modifications do not extend onto neighboring properties, public or common areas, and do not interfere with traffic or utilities. The bill explicitly states that any existing association rules or community instruments that conflict with this provision are void and unenforceable. While the bill also mentions amending the Condominium Property Act, the specific language for that amendment is not provided in the XML text. The intent of the bill is to ensure that individuals with health challenges or disabilities can adapt their living spaces to meet their needs without facing restrictions from their homeowners' association.
