FL S1136

Creates the Condominium Fraud Investigation Pilot Program within the Attorney General's Department of Legal Affairs to investigate condominium-related fraud and corruption in Broward, Miami-Dade, and Monroe Counties.

Department shall hire five certified law enforcement officers, or alternatively contract with a private entity employing retired law enforcement; if no contract is made, must hire three financial investigators, five investigators with prior law enforcement experience, and three clerical employees.

Establishes an Office of the Condominium Ombudsman to receive complaints and determine which allege fraud or corruption for forwarding to the department; non-fraud complaints are forwarded to the Division of Florida Condominiums, Timeshares, and Mobile Homes.

Grants the department authority to subpoena, audit, investigate, administer oaths, and compel production of records; cases with sufficient evidence for criminal prosecution must be referred to the appropriate state attorney.

Program is funded from the Division of Florida Condominiums, Timeshares, and Mobile Homes Trust Fund and repeals October 2, 2028 unless reenacted by the Legislature; expands the Ombudsman's powers to void elections and petition for court-appointed receivers.
