03:43 PM -- HB16-1400



Representative Ryden, sponsor, presented House Bill 16-1400 to the committee. The bill prohibits an homeowners' association (HOA), its board of directors, manager, unit owner, or a person acting on behalf of an HOA or unit owner from retaliating against another unit owner who reports or files a compliant, or cooperates with an investigation of a complaint about a violation of state law or HOA bylaws.
