This bill addresses restrictive covenants related to the installation of solar panels on residential properties. It declares that any existing provisions in such covenants that limit or prohibit rooftop solar panel installation will be considered void and unenforceable starting July 1, 2025. Additionally, it allows homeowners associations to establish reasonable rules regarding solar panels, provided these rules do not prevent the installation of solar panels on rooftops.
The legislation aims to promote the use of solar energy by ensuring that homeowners are not restricted by outdated covenants while still allowing homeowners associations to maintain some level of oversight through reasonable regulations. The act will take effect upon its publication in the statute book.
