Arizona Senators speak of HOA "entwinement" and "a symbiotic relationship"

During the week of March 27, 2006, Arizona legislators heard three HOA bills that would bring substantive changes to the treatment of homeowners in HOAs. Two of the three bills passed and were placed on the active calendar for a floor vote.
SB1560, mandatory disclosure, passed and HB2352, the restoration of the homestead exemption, failed. The other bill that passed related to providing due process protections to homeowners by allowing the Office of Administrative Hearings to adjudicate HOA disputes.


I prepared a 2 DVD set covering the hearings for the mandatory disclosure and homestead exemption bills. (Total time is 116 minutes). Listen to the Senators and their arguments in support of HOAs, and to Rep. Farnsworth who vainly attempts to explain the unequal protection of the laws in favor of HOAs against homeowners. Listen as the Senators make the case for state action with their support for HOAs, and the entwinement and symbiotic relationship between the state and the HOA that meet the US Suprme Court's tests for state actors.
