What changed in the latest version
162 added · 178 removedPlain-language change summary
The updated version of HB 2866 now specifies lower penalties for homeowner associations that unlawfully enforce rules against homeowners. Initially, a second offense would have led to a $10,000 fine, but it has been reduced to $2,500. This change is significant because it lowers the financial burden on homeowner associations, which could encourage more lenient enforcement practices and provide homeowners with a clearer understanding of their rights and potential liabilities.
