Only one weeny one, but at least it is a cost-saving one. It allows HOA to forgo an election of officers if the # of candidates is equal to the number of vacancies. The candidates are immediately "elected" without the need for all the rigamarole of contested elections:
It still means that SLohA has to have an annual election to ratify the budget. Just think of the extra cost savings if SLohA had begun to implement the electronic voting system permitted 3 years ago by the state of Florida! Despite many board "claims" of "looking into it", there is still NO PROGRESS on electronic voting.
BOD: It is not rocket science.
It is a widely held opinion among attorneys that the MANY new criminal laws for condo misconduct by board members and management must, by necessity, be applied to HOA's because so many condos are encumbered with Master HOA's. The laws now are quite disparate and the next legislative session may be bringing condo/Hoa laws into compliance with each other.
