Bill Summary

Relative to anti-litigation provisions in condominium documents. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill amends Massachusetts law to prohibit condominium documents, such as the master deed, bylaws, or administrative rules, from imposing any preconditions on a condominium association's ability to file a lawsuit, arbitration, or other legal proceeding. The bill specifies that such restrictive provisions are unenforceable unless they were adopted by the unit owners, rather than the condominium's declarant or developer, after the unit owners first elected a majority of the governing board. The bill applies retroactively to all existing condominium documents, regardless of when they were recorded.
