An act relating to prohibiting deed restrictions or covenants that prohibit use of property for commercial or industrial purposes
H 306 prohibits deed restrictions or covenants that block commercial or industrial use on property zoned for those purposes. Specifically, it bans such restrictions added after July 1, 2025, making them invalid if they prevent the property from being used for commercial or industrial activities. This directly affects property owners, developers, and local governments in commercial or industrial zones by removing barriers to permitted land uses. The law takes effect on July 1, 2025, after the bill is referred to the Judiciary Committee.
