Madam and 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. 507, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PLANNED COMMUNITY ASSOCIATIONS,"

 

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 create notice requirements for regular annual meetings and special meetings of a planned community association.

 

     Your Committee on Conference finds that it is appropriate and reasonable for a planned community association to provide notice to its members for specific association meetings.  Accordingly, this measure ensures that all members of a planned community association receive notice of any regular annual meeting or special meeting of the association by specifying requirements for the means and content of meeting notices.

 

     Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Clarifying that the notice requirements under this measure shall be provided to association members by two or more specified means;

 

     (2)  Inserting the posting of the meeting notice in its entirety to the association's website as one of the allowed means of providing written notice to association members; and

 

     (3)  Inserting an effective date of upon approval.

 

     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. 507, 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. 507, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
