2. a. A homeowners' association formed to manage the elements of property owned in common by all members of a community, whether it be an association managing a condominium, a private community, including retirement communities, or a cooperative housing development, shall not adopt or enforce a rule or bylaw limiting or prohibiting the display of the flag of the United States of America or yellow ribbons and signs supporting United States troops, or charge a fee for any such display, except as provided in subsection b. of this section. Any such rule or bylaw adopted by a homeowners' association in violation of this section shall be null and void.
b.
