Modified Section 514B-104 to clarify that associations cannot charge attorneys' fees for fines until fines are deemed collectable.

Added new dispute resolution procedures requiring written statements detailing assessment components and mediation options before collection of non-common expense charges.
Added special assessment provisions allowing associations to charge mortgagees or new purchasers for unpaid common expenses from delinquent units.
Added small claims court jurisdiction for determining fine validity and amount, with appeals to the board required before filing.
