Relates to restrictions on certain homeowners associations
This bill limits the power of homeowners associations to mandate the use of pesticides and outdoor sprinkler systems on private properties. Under the new rules, associations cannot force owners to apply pesticides, except when necessary to prevent pests that threaten public health or the environment, and they must allow owners to opt out of association landscaping that involves chemical treatment. Additionally, the legislation prohibits associations from requiring residents to use outdoor sprinkler systems on their land. These changes take effect sixty days after the bill is signed into law.
