STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS27300C1 / H0503
The proposed legislation provides that no homeowner's association (HOA) may enforce, add, amend or enforce
any covenant, condition or restriction that prohibits displaying a political sign. The term political sign is defined.
HOAs may still adopt reasonable rules that regulate the time, size, place, number and manner of displaying a
political sign. Finally, HOAs must give property owners three days notice before removing a political sign
and/or imposing a fine or penalty for displaying a political sign. It also provides for the ability of home owners
to install a flag pole of a certain height, to display select flags, including US, Idaho, POW, or any branch of the
armed forces.
FISCAL NOTE
This legislation has no fiscal impact to the general fund, or other state funds, or any local government budgets.
The cost associated with the bill would have a negligible impact on HOAs.
