Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

5 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 2 mixed.

Attorney fees and lease rights notice

In any lawsuit to enforce these display rights, the winning side recovers reasonable attorney’s fees and court costs. Every written lease must also include a notice explaining the tenant’s right to display religious or cultural items. These rules start July 1, 2025.

Conflicting HOA and lease rules are void

Beginning July 1, 2025, any HOA rule, owner policy, or lease term that conflicts with this law is void and cannot be enforced. HOA governing documents are treated as automatically changed to match the law without a formal amendment. This protects owners and renters from older, conflicting rules.

Landlords must update leases and policies

The law takes effect July 1, 2025. By October 1, 2025, landlords and unit owners who rent must review and, if needed, update their policies to comply. For any lease in effect on July 1, 2025, they must remove void clauses on or before the lease’s renewal date.

Door repair rules for religious displays

For door or doorframe work, HOAs or landlords must give at least 7 days’ written notice before removing a display, unless it is an emergency. They may remove it if you agree or do not respond, must store it respectfully and document it, and must return it within 72 hours after work ends. They may instead require you to remove it after 7 days’ notice and must allow you to put it back within 72 hours. These rules start July 1, 2025.

Homeowners and renters can display small religious or cultural items

Beginning July 1, 2025, you can display religious or cultural items in the part of your home you alone use. HOAs and landlords cannot ban these displays, but they may set reasonable rules on where and how you place them. The law does not protect items larger than 36 by 12 inches or bigger than the door or frame. Displays cannot block doors, risk health or safety, break the law, promote discrimination, or be obscene.
