The proposed bill would amend current statutes related to condominium unit owners' associations (COAs) and planned community associations (HOAs) by introducing new requirements for written notices of violation. Specifically, the bill mandates that these notices include detailed information about the alleged violation, such as the specific provision of community documents that has been violated, the date of the violation, and the process for contesting the notice. Additionally, it allows unit owners to request the names of individuals who observed the violation, which the association must provide upon request. The bill also permits unit owners to respond to violation notices electronically, if such means are available.

Furthermore, the bill removes certain existing requirements, such as the obligation for associations to include the names of observers in the initial notice. It also clarifies that associations cannot proceed with enforcement actions unless they have provided the required information to the unit owner. The amendments aim to enhance transparency and ensure that unit owners are adequately informed of their rights and the processes available to contest violations. Overall, the bill seeks to improve communication between associations and their members while maintaining the integrity of community governance.
