This Minnesota House bill (H.F. No. 2185) seeks to amend Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 500.215, subdivision 1, to prohibit restrictions on displaying certain flags on residential property. Specifically, it voids and makes unenforceable any provisions in deeds, subdivision regulations, restrictive covenants, local ordinances, contracts, rental agreements, or homeowners' association documents that limit the right of property owners or tenants to display the following flags:

• The United States flag
  
• The Minnesota state flag
  
• The National League of Families POW/MIA flag
  
• The flag of any branch of the U.S. Armed Forces
  
• The Blue Star Service flag
  
• The Gold Star Service flag
  

The bill also clarifies that "homeowners association documents" include declarations, articles of incorporation, bylaws, and rules and regulations of both:

1. Common interest communities (whether or not subject to Chapter 515B).
   
2. Residential communities that are not considered common interest communities.
   

The bill aims to protect residents' rights to display these flags without interference from homeowners' associations or other regulatory bodies.
