And it's SMOOTH. On budget and ahead of schedule, just in time for the State Fair.

SF1750, coauthored by Representatives Kristin Bahner and Shane Mekeland, and Senators Eric Lucero and Susan Pha, would create protections for homeowners living in HOAs. It passed on a 100-34 vote in the House of Representatives. It goes to the State Senate for repassage and from there the Governor’s Office to sign into law.

Among its provisions:

• Caps on fines and fees
• Prohibitions against conflicts of interest of boards
• Requires multiple bids for contracts
• Prohibits foreclosures solely on unpaid fines or attorney fees.
• Prohibits counties and municipalities from requiring certain features that would require an HOA in order to approve a development project
• Protections for Safe at Home participants from violations of their address privacy.
