- Board Duty: Board members and officers have a statutory duty to verify that the CAM/Firm is properly licensed under Part VIII of Chapter 468 before entering a contract.

Passed 2025- Manager Revocation: Bars CAMs with revoked licenses from holding ownership or leadership in a management firm for 5 years.
- Conflicts of Interest (Bidding): Professionals bidding on milestone inspections must disclose financial interests. Bids over $2,500 (<100 units) or $10,000 (100+ units) require at least two competitive bids.
- Meetings: Virtual board/owner meetings and electronic voting explicitly authorized.
- Financial Disclosures: Financial reports must be posted on a secure portal within statutory timeframes, accompanied by board affidavits.
HB 1395: Milestone Inspections & SIRS
Ongoing Compliance- Milestone Inspections: Required for buildings 3 stories or higher when reaching 25 years of age (inland/coastal distinction removed), and every 10 years after.
