This bill proposes to amend current statutes related to condominiums and planned communities by adding new sections that explicitly prohibit associations from using their funds for lobbying activities or election influence. Specifically, it introduces
section 33-1243.01 for condominiums and
section 33-1811.01 for planned communities, which state that associations cannot spend their money on organizations that engage in lobbying or attempt to influence elections, regardless of any provisions in their governing documents.
The bill does not alter any existing laws, as it only adds these new restrictions without modifying or deleting any current statutes. The language clearly emphasizes that the financial resources of associations are to be safeguarded from being used for political purposes, thereby ensuring that community funds are utilized solely for the benefit of the community itself.
