Homeowners' associations prohibition from limiting the right to display any flag
SF 1564 prohibits Minnesota homeowners' associations (HOAs) from restricting residents' right to display the U.S. flag or Minnesota state flag. It amends Minnesota Statutes § 500.215 to make any HOA rule limiting these displays void, while allowing reasonable exceptions for flag size (customary residential size), display location (on owner's exclusive property), and flag condition (good condition, no permanent damage). The bill directly affects HOA residents and governing documents in Minnesota communities. Exceptions also cover safety-related restrictions and requirements for legal display without causing property damage.
