Summary

Creates the Condominium Ombudsperson Act and amends the State Finance Act. Contains legislative findings and defines terms. Within and under the control of the office of the Attorney General, creates the Office of the Condominium Ombudsperson. Provides that the Ombudsperson shall offer training and educational materials and courses to condominium unit owners, condominium associations, and boards of managers in subjects relevant to the operation and management of condominium property and the rights and duties of a unit owner or unit owners' association. Requires the Ombudsperson to maintain a statewide toll-free telephone number, maintain certain information on the Attorney General's website, and provide information or assistance on matters relating to condominium property. Requires the Attorney General, based upon Ombudsperson recommendations, to report annually to the General Assembly. Provides that every condominium unit owners' association shall pay an annual fee to the Ombudsperson to cover the administration of the Act. Creates the Condominium Ombudsperson Fund as a special fund in the State treasury, to consist of fees received by the Ombudsperson, to be used exclusively for expenditures necessary for the proper administration of the Act. Repeals the Act on July 1, 2017. Effective July 1, 2014.

Plain-language change summary

The latest version of Bill HB 4204 has made two significant changes: it has pushed back the deadline for the Ombudsperson to offer training and educational materials from July 1, 2017, to July 1, 2018. Additionally, the bill no longer allows the Ombudsperson to charge a fee for these training resources. This matters because it gives more time for unit owners and associations to access essential educational materials without the burden of costs, promoting better management and resolution of issues in condominium and common interest communities.
