AN ACT RELATING TO PROPERTY -- ESTATES IN REAL PROPERTY

HB 8106 would prohibit property owners and developers from including in property deeds or agreements any restrictive covenant that bans or limits grocery stores. This bill directly affects property developers, homeowners' associations, and neighborhoods with existing covenants that restrict grocery store operations. The key provision amends property law to make it unlawful to have such restrictions, ensuring grocery stores can operate without being blocked by private agreements. The bill was introduced on February 27, 2026, and referred to the House Judiciary Committee.
