HB 24-1091

House Bill 24-1091, which has been signed into law and is now effective, stops homeowners' associations and other groups from preventing the use of fire-resistant building materials in homes and common interest communities like condominiums or townhomes. However, it allows these associations to set reasonable rules about how such materials look when used for fences. This bill affects anyone living in a community with homeowner association rules that previously restricted the installation of fire-hardened materials.
