AI Summary

This bill makes several changes to the Uniform Common Interest Ownership Act (UCIOA), which governs common interest communities like condominiums, cooperatives, and homeowners' associations in Washington state. The key provisions of this bill include: - Allowing the board of an association to amend the governing documents to remove unlawful restrictions, such as those based on race, gender, or disability, without a vote of the unit owners. - Revising the provisions in UCIOA related to master associations, including allowing a unit owners association to delegate powers to a master association without amending the declaration. - Prohibiting unit owners from acquiring title by adverse possession or easement by prescription of common elements. - Allowing a declarant to exercise certain "special declarant rights" through an involuntary transfer, such as foreclosure, and clarifying the obligations and liabilities of successor declarants. - Making various other changes to provisions in UCIOA related to meetings, voting, assessments and collections, amendments, and other operational aspects of common interest communities. The bill also includes conforming amendments to other laws referencing the previous condominium and homeowners' association statutes, and sets forth an applicability and transition plan for when the new UCIOA provisions will take effect. Overall, the bill aims to update and modernize the laws governing common interest communities in Washington.
