MODERATE
The bill was reformatted from a House of Representatives introduction to a House Committee version (HD1) with substantive policy changes. Key modifications include extending the notice period for impact fees from an unspecified number of days to thirty days, changing the effective date from immediate approval to July 1, 3000, and clarifying terminology to use 'unit owners' instead of 'members' in some contexts while keeping 'members' in others.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains focused on authorizing condominium and planned community associations to assess impact fees on owners using units as transient vacation rentals, with no change to the fundamental applicability.
REQUIREMENT

Extended the notice period for impact fee assessment from an unspecified number of days to thirty days before assessment.

TIMELINE
