Summary

The bill establishes a Common Ownership Community Ombudsman within the Attorney General’s consumer protection division to handle member complaints about decisions by condo boards, co‑op boards or homeowners‑association managers. It also requires those communities to file their governing documents with the Department of Housing and Community Development, which will post them in a public online database. County governments must set up local commissions to receive referrals and help resolve disputes.
