The Virginia Senate wants all homeowners to be able to air out their clean laundry.
By a 37-3 vote on Tuesday, the Senate passed a bill that would prohibit homeowner's associations from banning residents from stringing up clothes lines to dry their garments.
Sen. Linda Puller introduced the bill that would allow the organizations to set restrictions concerning the size and placement of the so-called natural drying devices.
A similar bill which called them wind energy drying devices made it out of the Senate last year but was defeated in the House of Delgates.
