Current Status: Chaptered
FindHOALaw Quick Summary:
Current law provides that an association may not prohibit low-water using plants as a group. AB 2104 (Gonzalez) would amend Civil Code Section 4735 to also render void and unenforceable any provisions of an association’s governing documents that prohibit, or have the effect of prohibiting, the use of low-water using plants as a group or as a replacement for existing turf.
*UPDATE: AB 2104 was approved on September 18, 2014 and its changes to the law become effective on January 1, 2015.
