This bill aims to protect homeowners' rights regarding the installation and use of solar energy devices and pollinator gardens by prohibiting homeowners associations from enforcing any restrictions on these installations. Specifically, it states that no homeowners association can adopt or enforce any rules that prohibit or restrict the installation of solar energy collectors, solar energy systems, or pollinator gardens. Additionally, the bill prohibits associations from charging fees for the placement of these installations and declares any existing agreements that violate these provisions as void and unenforceable.
Furthermore, the bill provides homeowners with a civil cause of action against associations that violate these regulations. It also defines key terms such as "pollinator garden," "solar energy collector," and "solar energy system" to clarify the scope of the law. The Revisor of Statutes is tasked with assigning the relevant sections of this act to Chapter 76 of the Nebraska statutes.
