CURRENT BILL SUMMARY
SB 985 - This act provides that no deed restrictions, covenants, or similar binding agreements running with the land shall prohibit or have the effect of prohibiting ownership or pasturing of up to 6 chickens on a lot that is 2/10ths of an acre or larger, including prohibitions against a single chicken coop designed to accommodate up to 6 chickens.
A homeowner's association, as defined by law, may adopt reasonable rules, subject to applicable statutes or ordinances, regarding ownership or pasturing of chickens, including a prohibition or restriction on roosters.
This act is identical to provisions in the truly agreed to and finally passed SS/HB 2062 (2024), and similar to HB 1514 (2024), provisions in HCS/HB 2206 (2024), and SB 400 (2023).
