 January 14, 2026
 ___________

 Introduced by M. of A. SIMON -- read once and referred to the Committee
 on Housing

 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.
 22 (c) "heat pump" shall mean a device that transfers heat from one place
 23 to another, using electricity, and can provide both heating and cooling.
 24 2. A homeowners' association may not adopt or enforce any rules or
 25 regulations that would effectively prohibit, or impose unreasonable
 26 limitations on, the installation or use of a central air conditioner or
 27 heat pump. A restriction on use which effectively prohibits the instal-
 28 lation or use of a central air conditioner or heat pump is unenforceable
