Notes
Establishes that the article limits association and governing-document authority over a member's separate interest without affecting other laws that impose additional limits. The provision identifies examples involving signs, solar systems, offsite-built structures, racial restrictions, disability accommodations, and family day care homes, preserving those separate restrictions on association authority.
