I am fortunate to live in a subdivision where the HOA was long ago dissolved.
Please note that "these private entities" don't just show up and make
rules; they enforce rules that were in the deed covenants the property
owner agreed to when the property was purchased.
There is no link to the actual legislation, but if this bill has
language in it that would direct the federal government to void part
of a private legal contract between two parties, then I don't see it
passing. Going forward, maybe, but even that's a stretch.
