Bill > HB1087

This bill modifies the process for filling board vacancies in property owners' associations by changing existing state law. Currently, board members could be appointed by the board to fill vacancies, but under the new legislation, the board must now order a special election to fill any board vacancy, with the newly elected board member serving until the next regular board election. The bill ensures that board members are chosen through a more democratic process by requiring an election rather than an appointment, giving property owners direct input into who will represent them on the association's board. This change applies to all property owners' associations, regardless of their existing bylaws or dedicatory instruments, and is set to take effect on September 1, 2025. The legislation aims to increase transparency and owner participation in the governance of property owners' associations by mandating that board vacancies be filled through a direct election process.
