AI Summary

This bill establishes new regulations for homeowners associations, which are defined as organizations that manage or regulate residential developments like subdivisions or condominiums, primarily composed of property owners. The bill generally prohibits these associations from preventing members from displaying political campaign signs, whether indoors or outdoors, that advertise candidates or ballot propositions. However, homeowners associations can still enforce certain restrictions, such as requiring signs to be ground-mounted or attached to a fence, limiting the number of signs per candidate or proposition, prohibiting displays before a candidate files or more than thirty days after the general election, and preventing signs from being attached to plants, traffic devices, or vehicles, painted on architectural surfaces, larger than four by six feet, threatening public health or safety, containing obscene content, or accompanied by distracting sounds or inflatables. Associations can request the removal of signs that violate these permissible restrictions. This act will apply to homeowners associations created or whose governing documents are amended to include these restrictions on or after July 1, 2026.
