Summary

The bill prohibits homeowners’ association rules and local ordinances from preventing owners in common‑interest developments from replacing windows with units that meet the California Energy Code. It also requires cities, counties and city‑counties to approve such applications administratively, only denying them for proven health or safety harms, and exempts historic‑resource properties. The goal is to speed up energy‑efficient retrofits and help the state meet climate targets.
