John Morris, a lawyer at Morris Sperry, testified with Representative Gage Froerer before a joint session of the House and Senate Business and Labor Committees at the Utah State Capitol. They presented an overview of HOA legislation that will likely be up for passage in the 2015 legislative session. John gave a brief summary of potential laws impacting rentals in community associations, open board meetings, condominium declaration amendments, fines and warnings, utility shutoffs in condominiums and townhomes, and the hierarchy of governing documents and HOA laws including the declaration, bylaws, plat, articles of incorporation, Utah Condominium Ownership Act, Utah Community Association Act, and the Revised Nonprofit Corporations Act. These laws will impact associations throughout the state including in many cities and counties with high numbers of HOAs such as Salt Lake City, Park City, Heber, Ogden, St. George, Provo, Salt Lake County, Summit County, Wasatch County, and Washington County. Through the volunteer time of its attorneys, Morris Sperry continues its effort and dedication to create balanced and sensible community association and HOA laws. This is only one of the reasons that Morris Sperry remains Utah’s best HOA law firm to be general counsel to homeowners associations and to represent homeowners and developers with HOA legal matters.
