AI Summary
This bill makes several changes to Florida's laws governing condominium associations, focusing on record-keeping, turnover processes, and transparency. The legislation requires condominium associations to maintain a copy of their turnover certificate and annual report as part of their official records, and mandates that the Division of Condominiums, Timeshares, and Mobile Homes (the division) create a publicly accessible online database of these turnover certificates. When unit owners elect a majority of board members, the association must file a turnover certificate with the division within 30 days, which must include the election date and names and addresses of elected board members. The bill also clarifies statutes of limitations for association actions, specifying that limitation periods for certain legal actions do not automatically pause when unit owners take control of the board. Additionally, the division is required to create a searchable electronic database of turnover certificates and adopt rules governing their form, content, and filing procedures. These changes aim to increase transparency and accountability in condominium association management by ensuring important documents are readily accessible and properly maintained. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
