The Oklahoma legislature has two bills pending that should be of interest to condominium and homeowner associations. In what appear to be similar measures, HB1560 and SB0812 pertain to flag and political sign displays within condominium and homeowner associations. Generally, the measures if passed would expressly allow the display of flags and political signs on private property, despite architectural and structural restrictions limiting such displays.
The genesis of flag display bills probably comes from the spate of covenant enforcement litigation in states other than Oklahoma where a condominium or homeowner association has sued an owner for displaying a flag or political sign in contravention of a covenant prohibiting such display. These and other bills' status may be tracked at the Oklahoma legislature.
