Florida Lawmakers Approve Legislation Strengthening Oversight of Condominiums and Updating Windstorm-Damaged Roof Requirements
June 2, 2022
When the 124th session of the Florida state legislature adjourned on March 14, 2022, without addressing the tragedy at Surfside, Florida, the state government was roundly criticized by victims’ families and the media. Nevertheless, principals involved kept working, and the result was a bipartisan bill, SB 4-D, that passed the Florida Senate on a 38–0 vote and then the House on a 110–0 vote before being signed by the governor on May 22, 2022. SB 4-D includes provisions to strengthen oversight of condominium associations and cooperative associations, and it updates requirements for roofing damaged by windstorms.
