Uniform Unlawful Restriction in Land Records Act

SB 146 creates a process to remove discriminatory restrictions from property records in West Virginia. It allows property owners to directly submit amendments to eliminate unlawful restrictions (like those based on race, religion, or disability) affecting their own property. Homeowner associations can also remove such restrictions without member votes, requiring them to act within 90 days of a member request. The bill mandates specific wording in amendments to clarify they only remove unlawful restrictions and specifies how these changes must be recorded in county land records. This applies to existing documents recorded in land records that violate anti-discrimination laws.
