S.D. 1
STATE OF HAWAII
A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO COMMON INTEREST COMMUNITIES.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. The legislature finds that condominium associations, led by boards of directors and overseen by managing agents, primarily operate under the principles of self-governance and self-enforcement. The legislature further finds, however, that the powers of associations, boards, and managing agents are not unlimited. It is critical to the well-being of residents and long-term sustainability of an association that its board members and managing agents understand their obligations to comply with local, state, and federal laws.
Accordingly, the purpose of this Act is to specify that condominium associations, boards, and managing agents must comply with county, state, and federal laws and regulations.
SECTION 2. Section 514B-101, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsection (a) to read as follows:
"(a) This part applies to all condominiums subject to this chapter, except as provided in subsection (b)[[Struck through: .]][Underlined: ; provided that any action by an association, board, or managing agent pursuant to this chapter shall comply with any applicable laws, rules, and regulations.]"[Underlined: ]
SECTION 3. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2050.[Underlined: ]
