H.B. No. 230 Summary

• Prohibits manufactured home park operators, condominium associations, neighborhood associations, and landlords from restricting the display of thin blue line flags on rental properties and common areas.

• Defines "thin blue line flag" and "thin blue line emblem" as flags or emblems used by law enforcement to commemorate fallen officers, show support for living officers, and symbolize the relationship between law enforcement and community.

• Requires tenants and residents to provide reasonable notice to property operators/landlords before installing flagpoles or brackets for displaying thin blue line flags, with discussions covering placement, costs, installation standards, and appropriate sizing.

• Declares any restrictions on thin blue line flag display against public policy and unenforceable; violations constitute unconscionable contract terms subject to damages and attorney's fees.

• Extends protections for displaying U.S. flags, state flags, POW/MIA flags, and military service flags while maintaining requirements for appropriate sizing and compliance with local zoning restrictions.
