  • THE LEGISLATIVE LINE the Legislative Update from VPAR Number 1 January 29, 2018 the More Things Change, the More They Stay the Same
    VIRGINIA PENINSUA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® THE LEGISLATIVE LINE The Legislative Update from VPAR Number 1 January 29, 2018 The more things change, the more they stay the same. With two full weeks in the books (and 44 days to go), the 2018 General Assembly session sometimes has felt like déjà vu all over again. In the House of Delegates, the new balance between the chastened GOP majority and rejuvenated Democratic caucus is not translating into waves of Democratic bills clearing the subcommittees and heading for the House floor. Because big-ticket issues like the state budget, Medicaid expansion and repealing the 2015 electric utility rate freeze probably will not be decided until late in the session, these early weeks have been dominated by many bills’ early deaths. As many of the freshmen in the House learned the hard way this week, even seemingly benign bills can go down in a flash if lawmakers see a flaw, whether it is a legal technicality, an unintended consequence or a similar law that already exists. And more seasoned lawmakers have not shied away from telling the recent arrivals that, even though they may be new, the Capitol’s perennial policy debates are not. MEANWHILE…the REALTOR® legislative agenda has garnered significant traction in the past few days. Read below for more details. And stay tuned. Look for the LEGISLATIVE LINE each week until adjournment. 1. Team Legislation – Delegate Chris Peace / Senator Glen Sturtevant HB 862 (Del.

  • 2021 Virginia Legislative Update By: Allen Warren
    THE SPECIAL ASSESSMENT April 2021 Edition ___________________________________________________ 2021 Virginia Legislative Update By: Allen Warren Each year, before and during the Virginia General Assembly’s legislative session, community association volunteer leaders must keep a watchful eye on legislative bills submitted for consideration by our state senators and delegates. Often, these bills are submitted to address some perceived injustice that may have occurred in a particular association, providing a legislative “fix” for something that either did not need to be fixed or that should not be addressed as a “one-size-fits-all” statutory mandate. This year, we are pleased to report on several changes to the Virginia Condominium Act and the Property Owners’ Association Act that should serve community associations well, improving their ability to efficiently and effectively operate and protect the overall interests of the membership. This article will address several of the enacted pieces of 2021 legislation that directly impact community associations. These include, for instance, legislation pertaining to board authority to authorize virtual membership, board and committee meetings (expanding upon last year’s temporary legislation), board authority to ban smoking, fair housing parking accommodations, another expansion of the “protected classes” under state fair housing laws, and limiting the ability to foreclose on a judgment debtor’s primary residence. The legislation described below has been signed by the Governor and will take effect on July 1st of this year. For those interested in knowing which elected officials introduced or sponsored the legislation, the patrons (or chief patrons) of the bills are designated next to the subject heading. If you appreciate (or do not appreciate) the impact that a particular piece of legislation may have on your community association, we encourage you to contact your elected state delegate or senator to make your point-of-view known.
