Senate Bill 964 has been introduced by Senator Linda T. "Toddy" Puller, who represents parts of Fairfax and Prince William Counties. As introduced, Senate Bill 964 will have a significant, impact on the aesthetics of community associations. If passed by the General Assembly, this amendment to the Property Owners' Association Act would prohibit associations from adopting rules to control the display of political signs on individual lots - unless the recorded governing documents give the Association greater authority. Even though the law might allow a Board to establish some rules governing size and other factors, there could be little or no control over the number of such signs and what is displayed upon them.
Why would the NWC be concerned over such a proposal? The appearance of your neighborhood will deter or attract criminals. Litter accumulation is a sign to criminals that the neighborhood doesn't pay much attention to itself and the safety of its residents. Crime and litter statistics both show a direct relationship between high crime and litter-strewn neighborhoods.
Ask Senator Puller to pull this legislation before it is considered. Make the effort NOW to stop this sign pollution and campaign litter before it is allowed to get started in your community.
