HB 2085 Summary

• Requires homeowners' association record requests to meet three conditions: made in good faith, describe the proper purpose with reasonable particularity, and the records must be directly connected to that purpose.

• Establishes that records made available online are deemed reasonably available, and associations cannot charge fees for reviewing materials or copying physical/digital copies beyond $0.15 per page.

• Adds a new exemption allowing associations to withhold records that were requested within the preceding two years and have not been modified.

• Defines "financial and other records" to include specific documents such as declarations, bylaws, meeting minutes (previous 3 years), budgets, assessments, financial statements, contracts, and insurance policies.

• Prevents associations from withholding records based on previous disclosure if the requestor or their representative already received those same records.
