HB 2013 – Limits restrictions on chickens

HB 2013 ensures that if a city allows residents to keep chickens, local property owners’ associations can’t override that right with restrictive rules. This bill protects homeowners from overregulation by unelected POA boards. By limiting POA overreach, the bill upholds property rights without adding any new government mandates or costs. It also prevents duplicative rules, streamlining governance for property owners. The bill empowers homeowners to make practical, sustainable choices for their properties. Importantly, it does not impose any new burdens on taxpayers or government agencies. Supporting this bill means defending individual liberty, cutting unnecessary red tape, and limiting the influence of private, quasi mini-governments.
