SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Covenants restricting solar energy collection devices. Provides that a community association shall not prohibit an owner from installing or using any solar energy collection on the owner's property; but such association may establish reasonable restrictions concerning the size, place, and manner of placement of the solar energy collection devices. The bill allows a community association to prohibit or restrict the placement of such devices on the common areas. 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.
