Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Sir:

Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 1348, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CONDOMINIUM PROPERTY REGIMES,"

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.

The purpose of this measure is to require an association of apartment owners (AOAO) to make AOAO board meeting minutes available for review by owners on the premises of the condominium property if the AOAO maintains an office or resident manager apartment thereon.

Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure:

(1) To establish as an alternative to the above, an owner's right to request, and receive within fifteen days of receipt of the request, copies of meeting minutes by mail, electronic mail, or facsimile, subject to the owner's payment of a reasonable administrative fee;

(2) To reflect the appropriate effective dates, rather than an effective date of July 1, 2099; and

(3) By making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1348, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1348, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:

ON THE PART OF THE HOUSE

ON THE PART OF THE SENATE
