The bill H. 4006 aims to enhance the rights of homeowners and tenants in South Carolina regarding homeowners associations (HOAs). It introduces several new provisions, including the requirement that all meetings of an HOA board must be open to members, with proper notice given for meetings and the opportunity for members to comment. Additionally, the bill prohibits HOAs from enforcing rules that restrict property owners from displaying political signs during election periods and from imposing fines for expired tags on parked vehicles.

Furthermore, the bill amends existing law to affirm the rights of homeowners and tenants to display the United States and South Carolina state flags on their properties, regardless of any restrictive covenants or HOA rules. The new language clarifies that flags must be displayed respectfully, in accordance with federal guidelines. Overall, this legislation seeks to promote transparency, free expression, and the rights of property owners within the framework of homeowners associations in South Carolina.
