AI Summary
This bill addresses several key provisions related to homeowners associations (HOAs) in Indiana, effective July 1, 2025. The bill allows HOAs to conduct votes electronically if their governing documents permit, and requires HOAs to send an annual notice to members that includes a schedule of potential fines, board contact information, a blank envelope for mail-in voting, and meeting dates. HOAs must also notify members when a fine is imposed and send an annual financial report to members and the attorney general. Additionally, HOAs are required to create and maintain a website with their governing documents, board contact information, and a complaint procedure. The bill introduces a mandatory online training course for HOA board members, to be developed by the attorney general, which must be completed within one year of joining the board and will cover Indiana HOA laws, board member guidance, potential legal penalties, and other relevant topics. The training course aims to educate board members about their responsibilities and potential legal consequences, with the goal of improving HOA governance and member understanding.
