The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend existing statutes related to condominium and planned community associations by introducing new requirements for written notices of violation. Specifically, it would require that such notices include detailed information about the alleged violation, including the specific provision of community documents that has been violated, the date of the violation, and the process for contesting the notice. Additionally, the bill allows unit owners to request the names of individuals who observed the violation, which the association must provide upon request. The option for unit owners to respond to notices via electronic submission is also introduced.

Furthermore, the bill removes certain existing requirements, such as the obligation for associations to include the names of observers in the initial notice, and it clarifies that associations cannot proceed with enforcement actions unless they have provided the required information to the unit owner. The bill also emphasizes the right of unit owners to petition for a hearing with the Arizona Department of Real Estate regarding the violation. Overall, these changes aim to enhance transparency and due process for unit owners facing violations.
