Condominiums and Homeowners Associations - Governing Documents - Electric Vehicle Recharging Equipment
HB 673 prohibits condominium and homeowners association (HOA) governing documents from unreasonably restricting the board from installing or authorizing electric vehicle (EV) charging equipment in common or limited common use parking spaces. It requires boards to follow standard budget processes for installations and verify sufficient parking availability before proceeding. The bill directly affects condo and HOA residents and boards by ensuring they cannot block EV charger installations through restrictive covenants or rules, while balancing community needs and financial processes. It applies retroactively to existing governing documents and takes effect October 1, 2025.
