MODERATE

The bill was amended from House Draft 1 to Senate Draft 1 to correct a statutory citation error, add a new definition for 'community association manager,' and update the effective date to July 1, 2050. These changes ensure the law references the correct statute, clarify who qualifies as a manager, and set a future implementation timeline.

Scope change

The bill's scope remains focused on residential condominiums with over 100 units in large counties, but the definition of 'community association manager' was expanded to explicitly include individuals with credentials from nationwide industry trade groups.

Corrected the referenced statute from Section 514B-132 to Section 514B-3 in the text where a new definition is added.

DEFINITION

Added a new definition for 'community association manager' to clarify that the role requires a credential from a nationwide industry trade group.

TIMELINE

Changed the effective date of the Act from July 1, 3000 to July 1, 2050.

REQUIREMENT

Updated the text of Section 2 to reflect the new statutory location for the definition rather than the old Section 3.
