What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This bill modifies the number of unit owners necessary for disapproval of an amendment to a condominium document under certain circumstances.

Under current law, a condominium declaration must specify the number of votes that are appurtenant to each unit in the condominium for purposes of voting at meetings of the association of unit owners. Current law provides that a condominium declaration, as well as a condominium plat, may be amended with the written consent of at least two-thirds of the aggregate votes established in the declaration for all of the units, unless the declaration provides for a greater percentage, and that condominium bylaws may be amended by the affirmative vote of unit owners having 67 percent or more of the votes.

Read the full summary

This bill provides that, if legal title to units with two-thirds or more of the aggregate votes established in the declaration for all of the units is held by a single person or by two or more persons acting jointly by formal agreement, an amendment to a condominium declaration, as well as to a condominium plat, is disapproved if a simple majority of the unit owners, without regard to the number of units owned by any unit owner or the number of votes appurtenant to the units owned by any unit owner, opposes the amendment in writing. Likewise, an amendment to condominium bylaws is disapproved if a simple majority of the unit owners, without regard to the number of units owned by any unit owner or the number of votes appurtenant to the units owned by any unit owner, opposes the amendment in writing. As defined in current law, a "unit owner" is any person, combination of persons, partnership, or corporation that holds title to a unit. Thus, for example, a husband and wife who own a unit together would be one unit owner.
