MINOR
The bill was amended to change the effective date from immediate approval to July 1, 3000, and updated the text to refer to 'association board members' instead of 'AOAO board members' for broader applicability. These changes ensure the new requirements for commercial property management experience apply to a wider range of associations and set a specific future date for enforcement.
Scope change
The scope was broadened by changing the specific term 'association of apartment owners (AOAO)' to the more general 'association,' making the requirements applicable to all relevant residential condominium associations.
TIMELINE

The effective date was changed from 'upon approval' to 'July 1, 3000,' pushing the implementation of the new rules significantly further into the future.

ELIGIBILITY

The text was updated to replace 'association of apartment owners (AOAO)' with 'association,' expanding the bill's applicability to all residential condominium associations rather than just AOAOs.
