By now you probably know that the House passed SF 1750 last night after a long session. The margin was strong (100 to 34), so I’m not sure what signal that sends to the Senate, which will take this up next.

There are several courses of action that could happen now. First, they could “rubber stamp” and vote on it. If passed, it goes to Governor Walz for signature. If they amend, it goes to a conference committee. Or, they could vote it down.

At the HOA Leadership Network, we strongly support education and transparency for board members and homeowners. However, we believe that SF 1750 contains components that overstep its initial intent with requirements that are unnecessary, overly burdensome and poorly timed for volunteer board leaders who keep their properties running smoothly.

TAKE ACTION NOW.

We all can still make a difference.

We need to continue telling our elected officials that this bill is not right for HOAs in Minnesota. The existing Minnesota Common Interest Ownership Act (MCIOA) has stood the test of time, and additional legislation prescribed in SF 1750 is not necessary for volunteer HOA board leaders.

This is the time to act. Please contact your elected STATE SENATORS and TELL THEM TO OPPOSE SF 1750.

A simple email or phone call to your senator telling him or her to oppose SF 1750 will be powerful testimony to show opposition to this unnecessary legislation. You can find your elected officials HERE.
