Existing law requires each association of a common-interest community that contains 150 or more units to establish and maintain a secure Internet website or electronic portal and make available on the website or within the electronic portal any documents relating to the association. Existing law also requires the Internet website or online portal to provide units' owners with the ability to pay assessments electronically. (NRS 116.31069) Section 4 of this bill revises those requirements to: (1) require only certain specified documents concerning the association to be made available on the Internet website or within the electronic portal; and (2) eliminate the requirement that the Internet website or electronic portal provide units' owners the ability to pay assessments electronically. Instead, section 1 of this bill authorizes such an Internet website or electronic portal to provide units' owners with the ability to pay obligations electronically if certain requirements are met, including, without limitation, the requirement that the association maintains certain insurance and that the executive board of the association makes a determination that providing units' owners the ability to make such payments is in the best interest of the association. Section 2 of this bill makes a conforming change to indicate the proper placement of section 1 in the Nevada Revised Statutes. Existing law requires, in general, any notice required to be given to a units' owner by an association and any communication from or other information provided by the association to be delivered to the mailing or electronic mail address designated by the unit's owner, unless the unit's owner has opted out of receiving electronic communications or has not designated an electronic mail address. (NRS 116.31068) Section 3 of this bill eliminates those requirements for notice with respect to communications from and other information provided by the association and instead requires, with certain exceptions, such notices to be delivered to the electronic mail address that a unit's owner designates. Section 3 sets forth the manner in which an association is required to deliver such notices to a unit's owner who has opted out of receiving electronic notices or who has not designated an electronic mail address at which to receive notices.
