Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Condominium Property Act. Provides that the lien for nonpayment of common expenses and fines attaches after the unit owner is given written notice and an opportunity to be heard. Provides that the board of managers may seek remedies under the Act after providing the unit owner or agent of the unit owner with written notice of the default and providing an opportunity to be heard regarding any fees that are in dispute. Provides that the bylaws shall provide that the association has no authority to initiate collection proceedings against a unit owner until the board of managers issues a 30-day written notice of delinquency, and an opportunity for a hearing is given to dispute any amounts due. Provides that the board of managers has the power, after written notice (instead of "notice") and an opportunity to be heard, to levy reasonable fines for violation of the declaration, bylaws, and rules and regulations of the association.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Deletes language providing that the lien for nonpayment of common expenses and fines attaches after the unit owner is given written notice and an opportunity to be heard. Provides instead that the board of managers shall not record or foreclose upon a lien for nonpayment of common expenses and fines until after it provides the unit owner with written notice and an opportunity to be heard. Provides that the board of managers may seek remedies under the Act after providing the unit owner or agent of the unit owner with written notice of the default and providing an opportunity to be heard regarding charges assessed against the unit owner's account, including attorney's fees that are in dispute (instead of "any fees that are in dispute"). Provides that the bylaws shall provide that the association has no authority to report adverse information to a credit reporting agency until the board of managers issues a 30-day written notice of delinquency, and an opportunity for a hearing is given to dispute any amounts due. Specifies that a collection proceeding includes, but is not limited to, an action under the Eviction Article of the Code of Civil Procedure.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 2
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Condominium Property Act. Provides that before the board may levy a fine, it shall first provide the unit owner a minimum of 20 days' written notice and an opportunity to be heard. Provides that the written notice shall be made in accordance with the requirements of the Act. Provides that the notice and opportunity to be heard requirements apply only to the ability to levy fines, and nothing contained in the new provisions limits or restricts the ability of the board to pursue or enforce the rights of the association. Provides that the association has no authority to report adverse information to a credit reporting agency or initiate collection proceedings against a unit owner for unpaid fines unless the board of managers has first complies with the notice and hearing requirements. Makes corresponding changes.
