AB 1857: Unlawfully restrictive covenants: grocery stores and supermarkets.

<p>The bill aims to void and render unenforceable any covenant, restriction, or condition in real property documents that prohibit or restrict the use of such property as a grocery store or supermarket. This applies if a grocery store or supermarket previously operated on the property but has since ceased operations and an approved restrictive covenant modification document has been recorded. The bill allows interested parties to establish the unenforceability of existing restrictive covenants by submitting a modification document to the county recorder, enabling the development of new grocery stores or supermarkets. Additionally, it imposes duties on local officials and includes findings that no state reimbursement is required.</p>
