Amends TCA Section 2-7-143.
Generally under present law, the Tennessee Freedom of Speech Act, which became effective July 1, 2017, prohibits, among other things, a homeowners' association from banning the display of political or campaign posters or signs placed on private property by the owner of the property or any lawful resident of a residence on the property. A homeowners' association may adopt reasonable covenants, conditions, restrictions, or rules with respect to the placement of political or campaign posters or signs placed on homeowner association common space and private property maintained by the owner or resident, including limiting the size of campaign posters or signs in those common and private property areas to four square feet. Present law applies to an agreement or contract between a homeowners' association and property owner or between a lessor and lessee executed or modified after July 1, 2017. This bill changes the applicability date so that the provision will also apply to agreements or contracts executed before July 1, 2017.
