Homeowners Association Reform Bill.
HB 444, the Homeowners Association Reform Bill, proposes changes to laws governing both homeowners and unit owner associations, directly affecting these organizations and their members. It stipulates that association declaration amendments only apply to owners whose properties are conveyed after the amendment takes effect. The bill also regulates managing agent contracts, limits an association's ability to enforce parking restrictions on public streets, and caps fees for lender-requested documents during property sales. Additionally, it mandates prelitigation mediation for disputes and requires the Department of Justice to collect and report on related complaints.
