Concerning unreasonable restrictions on wildfire home hardening practices in common interest communities.

SB 6054 prevents common interest communities (like HOAs and condominiums) from banning homeowners from using wildfire-resistant building materials that meet state safety standards. It allows communities to set reasonable design rules for these materials but prohibits restrictions that would make installation impossible or unaffordable. The bill defines "fire-hardened materials" using established wildfire safety standards from NFPA and IBHS, applies retroactively to existing rules, and expires on January 1, 2028. This directly affects homeowners in communities with restrictive covenants and their governing boards.
