AI Summary
This bill amends the Condominium and Common Interest Community Ombudsperson Act to establish mandatory training requirements for elected and appointed members of condominium and common interest community boards. Specifically, by July 1, 2026, the Ombudsperson (a designated official who oversees and assists these community associations) will require all new board members to complete comprehensive training within 90 days of their election or appointment. The training must cover four key areas: (1) ethics, including fiduciary responsibilities, potential conflicts of interest, and board member communication; (2) specific roles and responsibilities of board officers and property management companies; (3) differences between property-managed and self-run associations; and (4) guidance on the complaint process against board members. Once board members complete this training, they will not need to repeat it for three years. The Ombudsperson is also authorized to develop rules and determine the specific format and delivery method for this required training, ensuring that board members are well-prepared to effectively manage their communities.
