  • 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.

  • Email to Sharon Bulova, Chairman, Fairfax County, Virginia Board of Supervisors - 12/22/2015
    Email to Sharon Bulova, chairman, Fairfax County, Virginia Board of Supervisors - 12/22/2015 Sharon, Thanks for your reply and referral. It's great to hear that ending homelessness is one of your major priorities in leading Fairfax County. My work these days centers on finding ways to include all Americans in our economy regardless of circumstances they find themselves in. Among the initiatives I'm exploring is finding a way to get everyone enrolled the retirement system just as they enter the workforce. The more that young people are equipped with incentives and tools to work, save, and invest as they enter the workforce, they less likely they will be to end up on the street. Hope all have a great holiday season. Karl Karl Polzer Center on Capital & Social Equity www.polzercapital.com -----Original Message----- From: Bulova, Sharon S. [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, December 22, 2015 11:57 AM To: Karl Cc: Barnett, Thomas M.; Leslie, Matthew (DVS); Gregory Brandon; Brink, Robert (GOV); Simon, Marcus B.; Areizaga-Soto, Jaime (GOV); Jancaitis, Brandi (DVS); Smyth, Linda; Klein, Dean H.; Mike O'Reilly Subject: Re: Finding homeless veterans housing -- follow up Karl, Thanks for copying me on this and thank you for your concern for persons who are homeless. I am copying our director for Fairfax County's Office to Prevent & End Homelessness, along with the Chairman of our governing board, of which I am a member. Fairfax County has done a good job, I believe, in identifying members of our homeless population and we have had some success in getting folks into housing and hooked up with supportive services.

Please accept this informatory letter in response to issues and questions raised in the Commission’s May 26 Order in the referenced docket. In its Order, the Commission asserted that the current moratorium on utility service disconnections for nonpayment “is not sustainable” and could result in costs being “unfairly shifted to other customers.” The Order also suggested that this moratorium could have “negative impacts on small, less-capitalized utilities and member-owned electric cooperatives,” which “could impact vital services to all customers of such utilities.” The Commission requested comment regarding whether the current moratorium should be continued, and if so, for how long.
