Bill > S0822

This bill mandates that community associations with total annual revenues of $750,000 or more and at least 100 units must contract with a community association management firm or a certified community association manager. These managers must hold specific certifications, such as Certified Manager of Community Associations (CMCA) from the Community Association Managers International Certification Board (CAMICB) or Association Management Specialist (AMS) or Professional Community Association Manager (PCAM) from the Community Associations Institute (CAI). The bill also requires that these management firms or managers possess all necessary applicable licenses, and importantly, it places a duty on association board members, officers, and directors to ensure that any contracted management firm or manager is properly licensed and certified before entering into an agreement. These changes are intended to enhance the professional standards and accountability in community association management, with an effective date of January 1, 2027.
