Relating to: local regulation of fowl.

AB 42 prevents local governments (like cities or counties) from banning residents from keeping up to four chickens or quail on residential properties, including for property owners and owner-occupied rentals. Local units may still require permits, ask for neighbor notifications, set reasonable rules for coop locations, ban roosters, or enforce cleanliness standards. The bill specifically exempts condominiums, which remain subject to their own governing documents. This law directly affects homeowners and renters in residential zones seeking to keep small flocks for personal use.
