Requesting The Auditor To Conduct A Sunrise Review Of The Licensure And Regulation Of Association Managers.

Impact

This resolution aims to ensure that professional managers overseeing these associations possess the necessary skills and expertise, thereby enhancing accountability and improving the safety of residents. Approximately one in four individuals in the state reside in properties managed by such associations. As these entities are traditionally managed by volunteer boards with limited experience in property management, the introduction of licensure may help set a standard for managerial qualifications and operational protocols.

Summary

HCR6 is a House Concurrent Resolution from the Thirty-Second Legislature of Hawaii, requesting the state auditor to conduct a sunrise review regarding the licensure and regulation of association managers. The resolution highlights the importance of proper management in homeowners' associations, planned community associations, cooperative housing corporations, and condominium associations, given the significant number of residents living in these properties. The urgency of this request is compounded by the increasing implications of climate change and stringent facility maintenance requirements.

Contention

The content of HCR6 indicates a clear need for oversight in the realm of property management, but it may prompt discussion regarding the balance between the benefits of regulation and the imposition of bureaucratic requirements. Proponents argue that this will protect residents and ensure well-managed associations, while potential critics might raise concerns regarding additional regulatory burdens on the organizations and the cost implications of such licensing.
