On April 21, 2006, I reported on a Conference Committee Hearing on several bills of interest to community associations.

HB1935 SD1 This bill would require that the planned community association governing documents be provided by the seller or the seller’s agent when a home in a residential planned community is sold. The conference committee recommended that the bill pass with an amendment to make the bill effective upon approval. The bill will be going to House and Senate floors for final vote.

HB3100 SD1 This bill would expand the types of community associations that would receive notice of a non-judicial foreclosure of a unit and limit the amount of a required downpayment in a non-judicial foreclosure to 10% of the highest bid amount. The bill passed without amendments and will go to the House floor for a final vote (the Senate has already approved the bill in its current form).

HB3225 SD1 This bill corrects some issues with the Recodification. The conference committee recommended that the bill pass with an amendment to make the bill effective on July 1, 2006. The bill will be going to House and Senate floors for final vote.
