What’s in it

This bill relates to the right of unit owners in common interest communities to display the American flag. The bill provides that a declaration of a common interest community, the bylaws of a unit owners association or an executive board, and the rules of a unit owners association or a common interest community cannot prohibit a unit owner from displaying or flying the American flag, in a size no greater than three feet by five feet, attached on the exterior of the unit owner’s unit or on a flagpole installed on any real property owned by the unit owner. The bill defines “American flag” to mean a flag, as described in U.S.C. ch. 1.
