March 11, 2026 Legislative Update

63 HOA related bills proposed.
Feb 20 (Friday) was the committee deadline for bills in the House and Senate.

Many, many bills died. But it rarely happens but bills can be brought directly to the floor or rules suspended.

Bills that passed committee are summarized below.
18 HOA bills are still active. Some are not directly related to SCOV.

This list below is just the active bills.

Top bills of concern

HB2342         Mandates Shade Sails
Amended to remove Gazebo, Awnings, Pergola, Canopy

(currently SCOV does not allow Shade Sails because they can block neighboring views)

HB2397         Records required at sale

HB4011          exercise discretionary powers neutrally, fairly, without favoritism and in a nonarbitrary fashion.

(Should a BOD always be neutral? The SCOV Board currently does weigh in on issues that affect the Association that they have the fiduciary duty to protect)
