 AN ACT to amend the real property law, in relation to enacting the
 central air conditioner and heat pump rights act

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. The real property law is amended by adding a new article
 2 9-F to read as follows:
 3 ARTICLE 9-F
 4 CENTRAL AIR CONDITIONER AND HEAT PUMP RIGHTS ACT
 5 Section 344-o. Certain covenants, conditions, and restrictions of home-
 6 owners' associations prohibited.
 7 § 344-o. Certain covenants, conditions, and restrictions of homeown-
 8 ers' associations prohibited. 1. For the purposes of this section:
 9 (a) "restriction on use" shall mean any covenant, restriction, or
 10 condition contained in:
 11 (i) a deed;
 12 (ii) a contract;
 13 (iii) the by-laws of a homeowners' association;
 14 (iv) any rules or regulations adopted by a homeowners' association;
 15 (v) a security agreement; or
 16 (vi) any other instrument affecting the transfer or sale of, or any
 17 interest in, real property.
 18 (b) "central air conditioner" shall mean a type of heating, venti-
 19 lation and air conditioning system that is designed to cool an entire
 20 home or building, cools air in a central location and distributes it
 21 through a network of ducts and vents.

 S. 8570--A 2

 1 (c) "heat pump" shall mean a device that transfers heat from one place
 2 to another, using electricity, and can provide both heating and cooling.
 3 2. A homeowners' association may not adopt or enforce any rules or
 4 regulations that would effectively prohibit, or impose unreasonable
 5 limitations on, the installation or use of a central air conditioner or
 6 heat pump. A restriction on use which effectively prohibits the instal-
 7 lation or use of a central air conditioner or heat pump is unenforceable
 8 and shall be void as contrary to public policy. For the purposes of this
 9 subdivision, an unreasonable limitation includes, but is not limited to,
 10 any restriction on use that:
 11 (a) inhibits the central air conditioner or heat pump from functioning
 12 at its intended maximum efficiency; or
 13 (b) increases the central air conditioner or heat pump's installation
 14 or maintenance costs by an amount which is estimated to be greater than
 15 ten percent of the total cost of the initial installation of the central
 16 air conditioner or heat pump, including the costs of labor and equip-
 17 ment.
 18 3. Notwithstanding subdivision two of this section, a homeowners'
 19 association may adopt or enforce a restriction on use to prohibit the
 20 installation of a central air conditioner or heat pump that is located
 21 on property owned by the homeowners' association or that is located on
 22 property owned in common by the members of the homeowners' association.
 23 4. If approval for the installation or use of a central air condition-
 24 er or heat pump is required by
