The bill was filed in House (H ) and Senate (S ). But that is just the first step in a long process that will end when Governor Rick Scott signs the bill into law at the end of the 2013 legislative session.

The bill contains many provisions that will help owners and board members to deal with the ever-increasing problems of maintaining the community associations. Many of the provisions in this bill will seriously decrease the legal bills and make enforcement of existing laws much easier -- and less expensive! Election and board member eligibility rules will help to turn community associations into democracies again. Dealing with the ever-increasing problems of unpaid dues and foreclosures are some of the main problems association members are facing. This bill will help to solve many problems board members and owners struggle with on a daily basis.

Property owners in any of the estimated 4 million homes and condos located in Florida's community associations should be interested in strongly supporting this bill. Don't listen to special interest -- it's YOUR HOME and YOUR MONEY!

You don't have to go all the way to Tallahassee to ask your local legislators to co-sponsor and support this important bill. Throughout Florida your legislators will be holding town hall meetings in the near future.  Make sure you attend these COUNTY LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION MEETINGS. (CLICK HERE FOR DATE, TIME and LOCATION) Ask your local legislator to help their constituents living in community associations to deal with the crisis caused by our economy and the collapse of Florida's real estate market. Make sure they understand that you can no longer afford to pay the bills of your neighbors who have stopped paying their bills.

PLEASE ATTEND THESE MEETINGS AND BE HEARD!

Politics are expensive -- and lobbying for a bill that will be fought by special interest afraid of seeing their profits shrink is even more expensive. One of the biggest complaints we are hearing is the lack of enforcement of existing laws. Owners just don't have the money to hire expensive attorneys to fight for what the law says is rightfully theirs. And since we live in Florida, we all know how important strict election rules are.

FAIRNESS IN ASSOCIATIONS IS OUR GOAL!
