AB 1684: Common interest developments: cooling systems.

This bill aims to regulate the use of cooling systems in common interest developments. The existing governing documents, architectural guidelines, or policies cannot prohibit or restrict the installation, upgrade, replacement, or use of a cooling system. Any covenant, restriction, or condition that effectively prohibits or restricts the use of a cooling system is void and unenforceable. An association cannot prohibit or restrict a member from installing, upgrading, replacing, or using a cooling system in their separate interest. If an association willfully violates these provisions, it can be liable to the member for actual damages and a civil penalty of up to $2,000.
