Summary of HB08-1135
Short Title: CICs HOAs Due Process Dispute Resolution

Sponsors: Carroll M./Hagedorn

Invalidates covenants, rules, or policies of common interest communities (CICs) that prohibit reasonable modifications of a structure as necessary to allow access by persons with disabilities in accordance with federal law. Requires CICs to adopt and follow written policies for the imposition of fines on unit owners that, at a minimum:
* Create a fair and impartial method for determining whether a violation of the covenants actually occurred and whether the unit owner is responsible for the violation; and
* Provide the unit owner notice and an opportunity to be heard before an impartial decision maker. In existing law encouraging alternative dispute resolution (ADR), adds specific statutory references to available public and private ADR resources, including the office of dispute resolution established by the Colorado judicial branch.
