Bill Summary
Requires managing agents for residential condominium properties over seventy-five feet in height to have commercial property management experience. Effective 7/1/3000. (HD1)
AI Summary
This bill requires managing agents for residential condominium properties over seventy-five feet in height to have commercial property management experience, addressing concerns about the expertise of volunteer board members managing high-rise properties. The legislation amends existing law by adding a new requirement to Section 514B-132 of Hawaii Revised Statutes, which already mandates that managing agents be licensed real estate brokers and meet several other regulatory requirements. The bill's findings indicate that current regulations are insufficient to protect association board members and unit owners from potential incompetence, fraud, or misrepresentation. Specifically, the new provision adds a seventh requirement for managing agents, stipulating that for residential condominium properties exceeding 75 feet in height, the agent must demonstrate experience in commercial property management. This change aims to ensure that high-rise residential properties are managed by professionals with appropriate expertise in complex property management, potentially reducing the risk of financial losses and improper management. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 3000 (which appears to be a placeholder date).
