a. As used in this section: “ Association ” shall mean a homeowners' or property owners' association, cooperative corporation,
condominium association, or planned community acting through a majority vote of its
full board membership; and “ Board ” shall mean the governing board of an association. b. Within 90 days of the enactment of P.L.2021, c. 274 ( C.46:15-15 et seq. ) 1 , each board shall review the association's governing documents to determine whether
those documents contain any restriction, covenant, or condition, that prohibits or
limits the conveyance, encumbrance, rental, occupancy, or use of real property as
prohibited by section 4 of P.L.1945, c. 169 ( C.10:5-4 ) or subsection g. of section 11 of P.L.1945, c. 169 ( C.10:5-12 ). If an association finds such an unlawful restriction, covenant, or condition in
any of those documents, it shall amend the document or documents to remove the restriction,
covenant, or condition. Removal of such a restriction, covenant, or condition shall not require approval
of the members of the association, notwithstanding any provision of the governing
documents to the contrary. c. If, after the review and amendment of governing documents pursuant to subsection
b. of this section has been completed, a board receives a written request from a member
of the association to remove from those documents language that the member believes
to be an unlawful restriction, covenant, or condition that prohibits or limits the
conveyance, encumbrance, rental, occupancy, or use of real property as prohibited
by section 4 of P.L.1945, c. 169 ( C.10:5-4 ) or subsection g. of section 11 of P.L.1945, c. 169 ( C.10:5-12 ), the board shall immediately undertake a review of the document or documents, which
review shall be completed within 30 days of the member's written request. If the board determines that the member is correct, the board shall amend the document
or documents to remove the restriction, covenant, or condition within 30 days of its
determination. d. Nothing in this act shall give rise to a private cause of action by or against
an association, a board, a member, or the public for acting or not acting to remove
or not remove an unlawful restriction, covenant, or condition. 1
