The big news of the day (with the possible exception of the announcement of Greg McMackin as the warrior’s football coach) is that the 2008 Hawaii Legislature opens today. As usual, we will be providing information about legislation that affects community associations, including commentary on the impact of bills if they are adopted. It is always difficult to predict what will happen during a legislative session, particularly when it’s an election year like this year. Hopefully, we’re only looking at some minor corrections to the community association laws rather than wholesale modifications of the law. In the next few weeks, I’ll be providing information about some of the major bills affecting community associations.
