This rewrite of the purpose of having statutory laws governing HOA's says it all:
Finally! Regulatory Oversight! Contrast the above with what is written currently which is so lame it is almost laughable were it not for the fact that homeowners are subject to institutionalized abuse said to be "in our best interest". Here is an excerpt:
(2) The Legislature recognizes that it is not in the best interest of homeowners' associations or the individual association members thereof to create or impose a bureau or other agency of state government to regulate the affairs of homeowners' associations.
720.302 Purposes, scope, and application.--
(1) The purposes of this chapter are to give statutory recognition to corporations not for profit that administer or operate residential communities in this state, to provide regulations for operating homeowners' associations, and to protect the rights of association members without unduly impairing the ability of such associations to perform their functions as authorized by federal, state, and local laws and the governing documents of the association.
(2) Having provided certain powers and authority to homeowners’ associations and in deed restrictions created by developers of mandated properties in residential communities, the Legislature recognizes that it is necessary to provide regulatory oversight of such associations in order to ensure compliance with federal and state laws and local ordinances. It is the intent of the Legislature to protect the rights of parcel owners by ensuring that the powers and authority granted to homeowners’ associations and in deed restrictions created by developers of mandated properties in residential communities conform to a system of checks and balances in order to prevent abuses by these governing authorities.
