Official description
Amends the Common Interest Community Act. Specifies which records of a common interest community association must be provided to a unit owner upon request. Specifies records that may not be disclosed. Requires a board to maintain a secure website accessible only to unit owners and their authorized agents so that they may download the association's records in an electronic format at no cost. Provides that a board has no obligation to produce electronic records otherwise if it maintains the accessible, secure website. Provides that if the unit owner requests the records to be delivered in paper and the association has a photocopy machine available where the records are maintained, it must provide unit owners with copies on request during the inspection if the entire request is limited to no more than 25 pages. Provides that the board may charge up to 25 cents per page for copies made on the association's photocopier if more than 25 pages. Provides that a board must allow a unit owner to use a portable device capable of scanning or taking photographs to make an electronic copy of the official records at no cost in lieu of the board's providing the unit owner with a copy of records. Provides that the board may impose fees to cover the costs of providing paper copies of the records if the time spent retrieving and copying the records exceeds one-half hour and if the personnel costs do not exceed $20 per hour and the personnel costs may not be charged for records requests that result in the copying of 25 or fewer pages. Authorizes the board to adopt reasonable written rules governing the frequency, time, location, notice, records to be inspected, and manner of inspections with some limitations. Provides that the board must make available to unit owners or their authorized agents on a quarterly basis on its secure website any transactions that the board has entered into, to include, but not be limited to, contracts, signed proposals, proof of payments, and final inspections of parcels in the association.
