The proposed bill would amend current 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, the names of the individuals who observed the violation, and the process for contesting the notice. Additionally, the bill allows unit owners to request the names of the observers and permits responses to violation notices via electronic submission, if available.

Furthermore, the bill removes certain existing requirements, such as the obligation for associations to provide the names of observers in the initial notice and the stipulation that associations cannot enforce community documents until the required information is provided. It also clarifies that unit owners have the right to petition for a hearing on the matter with the Arizona Department of Real Estate. Overall, these changes aim to enhance transparency and communication between associations and their members regarding violations.
