DESCRIPTION

This proposal would specify that condominium bylaws could be changed by a majority of condominium unit owners with voting rights. Under current law the method for amending bylaws is specified in the bylaws. The proposal would also allow 80% of the owners of units, or any larger percentage specified in the declaration, to prohibit or materially restrict permitted uses or occupancy of a unit or the number or other qualification of persons who could occupy units.

This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space. It would not affect Total State Revenue.
