An act to invalidate certain provisions in homeowners’ association agreements that prohibit the replacement, maintenance, installation, or operation of certain energy-saving improvements or modifications or the installation of solar energy systems; to provide for the adoption of certain policy statements; to prescribe penalties and remedies; and to provide for the powers and duties of certain state and local governmental officers and entities.
House Bill 5028 would create a new act, the Homeowners’ Energy Policy Act, which would declare certain provisions of a homeowners’ association agreement invalid and unenforceable if they violate the provisions of the bill concerning the ability of a member of the association to install certain energy-saving improvements or modifications. Homeowners’ associations would also be required to adopt a policy statement on solar energy that complies with requirements in the bill.
