Bill > HF2185

This bill modifies Minnesota state law to expand protections for residential property owners' and tenants' rights to display certain flags. Specifically, the bill voids any provisions in deed restrictions, contracts, homeowners association documents, or other regulations that would prevent residents from displaying the United States flag, Minnesota state flag, National League of Families POW/MIA flag, flags of any branch of the United States Armed Forces, Blue Star Service flag, or Gold Star Service flag. The bill defines homeowners association documents broadly to include declarations, bylaws, and rules for both common interest communities and residential communities. The new provisions will apply retroactively to all existing and future restrictions, meaning that any current rules limiting flag displays would be automatically nullified. By preventing homeowners associations, landlords, and other entities from restricting patriotic flag displays, the bill aims to protect residents' freedom to show support for their country, military service members, and veterans.
