SUNRISE REVIEW EXAMINES COMMUNITY MANAGEMENT LICENSING
November 14, 2011
On November 4, 2011 the Colorado Legislative Action Committee (CLAC) of the Community Associations Institute (CAI) submitted a Sunrise Review Application to the Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA). The CLAC has asked DORA to investigate the need for licensing Colorado community association managers.
Based upon DORA findings (expected in late January or early February of 2012), CLAC could propose licensing legislation in the 2012 session, or in a subsequent session.
Colorado community association managers are currently not required to be licensed, registered or certified.
According to the CLAC, licensing of community association managers would provide additional consumer protection to homeowners who live in HOAs and would elevate the level of professionalism of association management.
As of November 4th, the CLAC had not made a final decision on whether to proceed with the introduction of manager licensure legislation. CLAC is waiting for DORA's determination on whether licensure is needed.
For more information, contact any one of our attorneys or any member of the CLAC.
Save Attorney Fees on Collections
