H.3496 - An Act ensuring solar energy access

Current Status: Read more.

Background:  Currently, condo associations, homeowners’ associations, and other groups can prevent the installation of solar panels. Solar panels offer a green solution to the energy needs of homeowners, and preventing their installation furthers individuals reliance on fossil fuels. 

What this bill does:  This bill would restrict condo associations, homeowners’ associations, and other groups from placing unreasonable restrictions that bar the installation of solar panels. It mirrors language adopted in the climate omnibus bill last session regarding electric vehicle chargers.
