SB 100 Required and Recommended Policies and Procedures
Among the new requirements SB 100 brings to associations is the necessity for associations to adopt seven written policies and procedures by January 1, 2006. In addition to these seven required policies, SB 100’s new governance and operational requirements make adopting additional written policies and procedures highly advisable to avoid conflict and confusion.

SB 100 Regulating Political Signs
What the Law Says and Links to Local Ordinances
During the last general election, your neighbors to the right declared their support for their political party’s candidate by covering their front yard with the favored candidate’s signs. Your neighbors to the left took an opposing stance and responded with political signs of their own. Your association, pointing towards the association’s covenant or rule prohibiting the display of any signs within the community, took the bi-partisan stance of having both your neighbors remove the signs to avoid enforcement action.
As of June 6, 2005, SB 100 has made such blanket restrictions on the display of political signs unenforceable as against public policy. Although associations may not completely prohibit the display of political signs 45 days before and 7 days after an election, they do have the right to regulate the size and number of political signs as long as these regulations are no more restrictive than any local ordinance that regulates this issue. If no applicable local ordinance exists, an association must allow at least one sign per political office or ballot issue with the maximum dimensions of 36 x 48 inches.
