What changed in the latest version
10 added · 5 removedPlain-language change summary
The bill SB 3438 was amended to change the restriction on shareholder ownership in associations. Previously, shareholders were limited to owning no more than 10 shares with an aggregate par value of $500, but the amendment increased that limit to 10 shares with an aggregate value of $10,000. This change could encourage more investment in associations by allowing individuals to own a larger stake, which may help grow these organizations financially.
