Bill > HB1284

This bill requires board members and officers of condominiums and homeowners associations in Charles County to complete a mandatory training curriculum focused on their governing responsibilities. Specifically, each member must successfully complete a training program developed by either a recognized common ownership commission or an approved organization within 90 days of first being elected or appointed to their position, or within 90 days of beginning a subsequent term for those already in office as of October 1, 2025. The training certification will be valid for three years, and members must renew their certification by retaking the training before their current certificate expires. The governing body is responsible for certifying each member's training completion, retaining completion certificates, and reporting the certifications to a common ownership commission within 90 days. If a member fails to complete the required training, the governing body may remove the individual from their position or invalidate their votes. The bill aims to ensure that community leaders in Charles County are well-informed about their legal and operational responsibilities when managing common ownership communities.
