Require homeowners' associations to seek permission for entry on real property
HB 416 requires homeowners' associations (HOAs) to obtain permission from property owners before an HOA agent may enter their private real property. When seeking permission, the HOA must propose a convenient date and time for the owner and specify which part of the property the agent needs to access. Property owners have the option to require their presence or their agent's presence during the HOA's entry. This bill clarifies rules for HOA access to private property, but it does not affect access to areas generally open to the public like sidewalks.

MINOR
The bill text was modified to remove the period at the end of the 'EXCEPTIONS' section header in two locations. This appears to be a formatting correction rather than a substantive policy change, as the actual content and legal meaning of the exceptions remain unchanged.
TECHNICAL
Removed trailing period from the 'EXCEPTIONS' section header in two instances to improve document formatting consistency.
