This bill amends several sections of Florida Statutes to revise the restrictions placed on homeowners associations regarding roofing materials. Specifically, it prohibits associations from enforcing covenants, rules, or guidelines that require the use of specific types of materials for roofing, as long as the built or rebuilt roof is substantially identical in shape and color to the association's requirements and adheres to the Florida Building Code standards. The bill also adds a provision that prevents homeowners from being precluded from using any type of building material for their roofs under similar conditions.

Additionally, the bill makes conforming changes to existing statutes to ensure consistency with the new provisions. It deletes references to "roof" in certain contexts and reenacts a section related to board committees to incorporate the amendments made. The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2026.
