This bill establishes new regulations regarding the display of political signs by property owners within homeowner associations in Nebraska. It defines a "homeowner association" as a nonprofit corporation responsible for enforcing restrictive covenants on properties within a municipality. The bill prohibits these associations from adopting or enforcing rules that completely ban the display of political signs related to candidates or ballot measures during a specified period, which begins ninety days before an election and ends ten days after.
However, the bill allows for certain restrictions to be maintained, such as requiring signs to be mounted to the ground, limiting the number of signs displayed for each candidate or measure, and prohibiting signs that contain specific materials or features, are excessively large, or pose safety concerns. Additionally, homeowner associations retain the authority to remove signs that violate any covenants not prohibited by this legislation.
