The bill provides that nothing shall be construed to (i) invalidate any provision of a restrictive covenant that prohibits or restricts the installation or use of any solar collection device if such provision was in effect before July 1, 2008, or (ii) prohibit the amendment of a restrictive covenant on or after July 1, 2008, to prohibit or restrict the installation or use of any solar collection device if such amendment is adopted by the membership of the community association in accordance with such association’s governing documents.
