This bill addresses condominiums that mix commercial and residential structures — the governance and rights questions that arise when the same association covers both shops and homes.

Signed into law (Ch. 46) Pro-homeowner
Provides requirements for the allocation of common expenses for condominiums that include commercial structures that are separate from residential structures.
For homeowners: Pro-homeowner and now law (Ch. 46): in mixed commercial-residential condos it requires expenses that exclusively benefit the commercial units to be charged only to those units, so residential owners stop subsidizing commercial costs. It also bars the association from withholding a record over pending expense-allocation litigation if the owner would otherwise be entitled to it, adding a transparency gain.
