Arizona homeowners associations could no longer impose outright bans only on artificial grass under a bill on its way to the governor’s desk.
Proponents hope removing hurdles for homeowners who want to install artificial turf will prevent overreach by HOAs, though some say amendments made to the proposal actually allot too much power to community associations to add restrictions on turf.
Those changes caused some early backers of the initial version of the bill to move to the opposition of it.
House Bill 2131, sponsored by Rep. John Kavanagh, R-Fountain Hills, passed the Arizona House of Representatives 58-0 Tuesday and now heads to Gov. Doug Ducey for consideration.
