The bill establishes the Office of the Homeowners' Association Ombudsman within the Division of Florida Condominiums, Timeshares, and Mobile Homes, which will be funded by the Division's Trust Fund. The Governor is tasked with appointing the ombudsman, who must be a licensed attorney in Florida and will serve at the Governor's discretion. The bill outlines restrictions on the ombudsman and office employees, prohibiting them from engaging in certain political activities or holding conflicting positions. The ombudsman is responsible for various duties, including acting as a liaison between homeowners and associations, monitoring elections, and providing resources to assist in dispute resolution.

Additionally, the bill allows homeowners to petition for the appointment of an election monitor during association elections, with the ombudsman responsible for appointing a qualified individual to oversee the process. All costs related to election monitoring will be borne by the homeowners' association. The bill also grants the division the authority to adopt rules regarding the election monitoring process, ensuring that proper procedures are followed. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
