The proposed bill, HB2298, amends existing legislation regarding the authority of planned community associations (HOAs) to regulate public roadways. Under current law, HOAs established after December 31, 2014, cannot regulate roadways owned by governmental entities after the period of declarant control. The new bill expands this to include HOAs established before January 1, 2015, requiring them to hold a membership meeting by June 30, 2025, to decide whether to continue regulating public roadways. If a majority of members vote in favor, the HOA retains its authority, and the board must record this decision with the county recorder.

Additionally, if the vote fails or if the HOA does not hold the required vote, it will lose its authority to regulate public roadways, and any existing regulations will expire. The bill also exempts one-way streets and privately owned roadways from these requirements. Overall, the bill introduces a mechanism for older HOAs to reassess their regulatory authority over public roadways, which was not previously mandated.
