Synopsis As Introduced

      Amends the Common Interest Community Association Act. Provides that any covenant, restriction, or condition contained in any deed, contract, security instrument, or other instrument affecting the transfer or sale of any interest in a common interest community, and any provision of a community instrument that either effectively prohibits or unreasonably restricts the installation or use of an electric vehicle charging station or an electric vehicle dedicated time-of-use (TOU) meter, is void and unenforceable. Provides that if approval is required for the installation or use of an electric vehicle charging station or electric vehicle dedicated TOU meter, the application for approval shall be processed and approved by the association in the same manner as an application for approval of an architectural modification to the property. Provides requirements for an electric vehicle charging station or electric vehicle dedicated TOU meter placed in a common area or an exclusive use common area. Provides that the association may install an electric vehicle charging station or electric vehicle dedicated TOU meter in the common area for the use of all members of the association and all unit owners. Provides that an association that willfully violates the provisions is liable to the unit owner for actual damages and shall pay a civil penalty to the unit owner in an amount not to exceed $1,000.
