The purpose of this Legislative Guide is to educate our community association clients on the requirements of the new laws, including practical pointers for implementing the new laws and specific action steps for your association to take. It is also now more important than ever for community leaders to become engaged in the legislative process. The narrative that is coming from certain segments of the State is that community association boards are “out of control” and “cannot be trusted” to manage their associations. While we know that there are some troubled associations, we also know that the vast majority of board members are doing their best to uphold the laws and their governing documents for the best interest of their communities.
