Senate Bill 1787, also known as House Bill 1875, amends Tennessee law to establish regulations regarding the installation of electric vehicle charging stations by homeowners within homeowners' associations. The bill prohibits associations from banning unit owners from installing charging stations for personal use on their property, including designated parking areas. However, associations can impose reasonable restrictions on the number, size, and placement of these stations. While associations may restrict installations in common areas, they cannot prohibit charging stations in a unit owner's designated parking space if it is located within a common area.

Additionally, the bill outlines the responsibilities of unit owners who install charging stations, requiring them to indemnify the association against any liability arising from the installation and operation of the stations. Homeowners' associations may also require owners to maintain insurance that includes the association as a named insured. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, and will apply to actions taken or declarations made on or after that date.
