AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 183A of the General Laws to prohibit condominium associations from prohibiting unit owners from flying or displaying the flag of the United States on a flagpole, base, or stand affixed to the unit in a limited common area where the unit owner has a right of exclusive possession or use, or from displaying an official flag of the United States Armed Forces or a Prisoner of War/Missing in Action flag in a window of the unit, as long as the display is consistent with federal law and does not obstruct the sightlines of other unit owners or violate any easement restrictions. The bill also prohibits condominium associations from entering into agreements with unit owners that would restrict or impair their right to display such flags.
