Important Information Concerning Proposed Amendments That Will Affect Your Community

It is part of UCOM’s mission to ensure that all UCOM members are informed of pending legislation that will have an impact on how Michigan community associations are governed.  Any legislation that may increase association costs or otherwise affect the association’s annual budgeting process is of the highest concern to UCOM and its members.

All association directors should be informed of an amendment to three sections of the Michigan Condominium Act that is being proposed in the House of Representatives:  House Bill 5655.  We strongly believe that this could be very damaging to associations and force associations to incur unnecessary costs while hindering the ability of directors to govern their communities efficiently.  It may be very difficult to pass an annual budget and collect assessments if this legislation is signed into law.

We have printed a letter to the House Committee on Local Government for your perusal.  Please forward as many copies as you need to other directors.  We must send as many signed letters as we can to Chairman, Lee Chatfield, to stop this dangerous bill before it progresses further.  We believe that after reading this letter, you will agree.  There is strength in numbers, so please contribute your voice on behalf of Michigan’s communities.
