Committee introduces RS 32550 to require HOA control transfer to homeowners after 95% build-out
Summary
The Ways and Means Committee voted to introduce RS 32550, a measure that would require declarants (builders) to transfer control of homeowners associations to homeowners once 95% of a development is built out; committee members asked questions but took no final vote beyond introduction.
The Ways and Means Committee introduced RS 32550, a bill that would require declarants (builders) to begin transitioning control of homeowners associations to homeowners and to transfer full control once a development reaches 95% build-out.
Representative John Weber, who introduced the draft for the record, told the committee the bill "starts a sudden transition from builders to the homeowners, and give them the homeowners a seat on the at the table, when it comes to, HOA boards. And then after 95% of the build out that they start transition full control to the homeowners." He thanked Representative Monks for helping to restart the proposal this session.
Committee members asked for clarification about the term "declarant" and the mechanics of the transition. Representative Tanner asked whether the declarant is the builder holding lots and control; Weber pointed to the bill's definitions and confirmed the declarant retains control until the 95% threshold is met and then the process to turn over full control to homeowners begins. Tanner said he favored the bill but "wished you'd have brought it down a little lower, maybe even like 60%." The exchange was discussion only; no amendment was moved.
Rep. Crane moved to introduce RS 32550. The committee approved the motion by voice vote; the transcript records the motion carried on an "aye" voice vote with no recorded roll call.
The introduction places RS 32550 on the committee's record for future consideration. The committee did not take a final or substantive vote on the bill's language at this meeting beyond the motion to introduce it.
Votes at the meeting were by voice; no recorded roll-call tallies were provided in the transcript for this item.
