HB 2301 Summary

• Amends Arizona law to prohibit homeowners' associations and planned communities from restricting display of specified flags (American, POW/MIA, Arizona state, Arizona Indian nations, Gadsden, first responder, and service flags) on unit owner/member property, though associations may adopt reasonable rules regarding placement and manner of display.

• Prohibits associations from restricting for-sale, for-rent, or for-lease signs that meet industry standard sizes (18x24 inches for signs, 6x24 inches for riders) and prevents associations from limiting open house hours except before 8:00 a.m. or after 6:00 p.m.

• Allows door-to-door political activity and circulation of political petitions on association property normally open to visitors, with associations permitted only to restrict such activity between sunset and sunrise, require identification tags, or prohibit unaccompanied non-residents if access is restricted.

• Prohibits associations from restricting political signs on member property from 71 days before primary elections through 15 days after general elections, with maximum aggregate dimensions of nine square feet unless more restrictive local ordinances apply.

• Prohibits associations from restricting association-specific political signs (regarding board candidates, recalls, or ballot measures) between the date ballots are provided and three days after elections, with maximum aggregate dimensions of nine square feet.
