Overview
This bill changes how common interest developments can impose monetary penalties on members for violating their governing documents. Currently, penalties were limited to $100, except in cases involving potential health or safety risks. The bill removes this exception, allowing for penalties exceeding $100 for violations that create fire, environmental, or other significant risks, such as improper storage of flammable materials or unauthorized construction. It also requires the Department of Real Estate to create and publish a list of specific violations subject to enhanced penalties, developed through a stakeholder engagement process and subject to public comment.
Key provisions
- Requires the Department of Real Estate to develop and publish a list of violations subject to enhanced monetary penalties (over $100).
- Removes the exception allowing penalties exceeding $100 for violations posing health or safety risks.
- Specifies violations that trigger enhanced penalties, including fire hazards, environmental hazards, and certain construction or maintenance issues.
- Requires a stakeholder engagement process when developing the list of enhanced penalties.
- Mandates public comment on the draft list of violations before finalization.
- Clarifies that a member engaged in habitual violations is not considered to have cured a violation simply by ceasing the violation at the time of the hearing.
- Requires the board to notify members in writing at least 10 days before a meeting to consider discipline or a monetary charge.
- Requires the board to provide a written notification of disciplinary action or monetary charges within 14 days.
