Homeowners' Assocaitions -- HB 391 DBPR STUDY
Jan Bergemann tells me that Jeb Bush vetoed a Florida version of UCIOA (see below) for lack of consumer protection. Here's CCFJ's writeup on it. I must say, I went through the so-called Homeowner Bill of Rights document that is supposed to make UCIOA more owner-friendly, and I don't see a whole lot of owner rights. It's like searching for a real piece of chicken in a bowl of canned chicken soup. Compare it with the AARP document drafted by David Kahne, which is a whole lot more aggressive in protecting owners.
The correct name for this document is Homeowners Bill of Wrongs.

I don't think we can expect much from the drafting committee of UCIOA. The drafting committee is restricted to lawyers. The ABA sponsor is a lobbiest for the CID/CA industry in Florida. There is no voice of consumer protection.
ReplyDeleteI have written several times to the chairman of the drafting committee, the reporter for the committee and have provided reports to the UCIOA website. I have also made phone calls. Absolutely no response.
The states that have adopted earlier versions of UCIOA have not had favorable results.
