GA HB820

Condominium associations are granted explicit capacity, power, and standing to institute, intervene in, prosecute, represent in, or defend litigation and administrative proceedings in their own name concerning claims related to units or common elements they are responsible for administering, repairing, or maintaining.

The bill preserves the association's existing obligation to comply with Part 2A of Article 1 of Chapter 2 of Title 8 (Georgia's right-to-repair requirements).

Amends Code Section 44-3-106 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated by revising subsection (h) and adding new subsection (i).
