Key provisions include the requirement for community association managers to maintain an online account with the Department of Business and Professional Regulation, prohibiting individuals with revoked licenses from holding positions in management firms for ten years, and mandating that associations disclose specific financial reports and documents to unit owners.

Additionally, the bill outlines new requirements for financial management, including the necessity for structural integrity reserve studies and guidelines for reserve funding. It mandates that associations maintain comprehensive records and provides unit owners with the right to inspect these records without needing to justify their requests. The legislation also includes provisions for penalties against board members or managers who fail to comply with these regulations, thereby reinforcing the importance of adherence to legal and operational standards within condominium and cooperative associations. Overall, the bill aims to improve governance and protect the interests of unit owners while ensuring compliance with safety and operational standards.
