Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Local traffic rules on private roads
Beginning July 1, 2026, a local government can adopt extra traffic rules for a private road when the owner asks at a public meeting or by certified mail. The ordinance must require a written contract with the owner, and the contract must be recorded with the county recorder. These local rules cannot conflict with state law. Money from fines for locally adopted traffic ordinances may go into the government’s general fund.
HOAs set speeds and stop signs
From July 1, 2026 to July 1, 2028, qualifying HOAs can set maximum speed limits on private roads. The subdivision must have at least 1,500 lots and 15 miles of HOA‑owned private roads. The HOA must post DOT‑standard signs on each road and notify the county sheriff and any city police chief. The HOA may make intersections stop intersections, but only if a DOT‑compliant stop sign is posted.
Police enforce traffic on HOA roads
From July 1, 2026 to July 1, 2028, police can enforce state vehicle laws on private roads in qualifying HOA subdivisions. Police cannot enforce other HOA rules, only the speed and stop rules allowed by this law. An HOA may hire an off‑duty officer for this work. The officer must wear a distinctive uniform or use a clearly marked police vehicle while enforcing these rules.
Rules and limits for HOA traffic pilot
Beginning July 1, 2026, before hiring an off‑duty officer, an HOA must provide sheriffs and police chiefs proof of liability insurance and resubmit proof at renewal. The HOA must indemnify the officer, the state, political subdivisions, and the officer’s agency for claims from the officer’s HOA work, except for willful or wanton misconduct or acts while working for the agency. Police agencies have no duty to patrol or take enforcement requests on private HOA roads, and this law creates no duty of care to the HOA or residents. The law does not make governments take over or convert private roads to public highways. Agencies can still approve or deny off‑duty jobs, and existing government immunities remain. By October 1, 2027, state police and each county with a participating subdivision must file an electronic report on issues and backup‑call counts. The pilot ends July 1, 2028.
