AN ACT RELATING TO PROPERTY -- ESTATES IN REAL PROPERTY

SB 2644 prohibits property owners from using private agreements in property deeds (restrictive covenants) to block the establishment of grocery stores. It directly affects property developers, homeowners' associations, and grocery store operators by removing a legal barrier to new grocery locations. The bill would require property agreements to allow grocery stores without special permission, ensuring new stores can open where such restrictions previously existed. This is a concrete policy change affecting real estate development rules, not a procedural measure.
