Lynelle Glysson, representing self; Spencer Kamps, HOME BUILDERS ASSOCIATION OF CENTRAL AZ

All Comments:

David Winstanley, Self: This bill corrects a conflict in law between 33-1804 and 10-3821 that permits HOA boards
to make decisions without visibility of their constituents. It is critical to correct so HOA homeowners have visibility
in their own communities.; Lisa Marx, Self: Dennis Legere will present my statement.; Dennis J Legere, ARIZONA
HOMEOWNERS COALITION: The purpose of this section is to ensure transparency in the association business for
the homeowners who pay for it all. The use of "Action without a meeting" is one way this law is violated daily
across the state. Minor amendment required.; John Krahn, Self: If | am unable to attend in person (or virtualy),
please allow Dennis Legere to testify on my behalf; Michele Morrison, Self: Many HOA management companies
advise boards to make decisions by written consent and outside noticed meetings, effectively rendering ARS
33-1804 & 33-1248 meaningless, especially when boards adopt policies broadly opposed by the community.;
Roseanne and Steve Elson, Self: our HOA has abused the executive sessions on many occasions and circumventing
open meeting law by gaining support for their position by talking to other board members individually resulting in
little to no discussion during the open meeting.; Clare Scarpulla, Self: Our HOA Board lacks transparency. They
routinely discuss topics and make decisions in closed meetings. The ‘action without a meeting’ is misused with
little documentation. They also go into ‘executive sessions' for reasons not applicable.; Denise Priddy, Self:
Transparency in our HOA is a major issue. The HOA board of directors will not provide essential information and/or
misrepresent and mislead the owners in the HOA whenever they don't want owners to know the purpose of their
actions or inactions.; Diana Dow, Self: Our HOA denied a permitted request, revised rules mid-process, and used
executive sessions to hide decisions. This opaque, punitive process caused legal costs. HB-2128 promotes
transparency. Please vote YES.; Jeff Carr, Self: Open meetings are crucial; James Roth, Self: This provides for more
transparency and limits abuse of ‘action without a meeting” by boards.; Ann Friday, Self: My HOA uses the
Executive session exceptions for item discussions that should be conducted in open meetings. My husband was a

Attachment A
board member. They would continue even after he told them they must stop. Also emergency exception to use
email to vote.; Larry Springer, Self: As a former board member | have seen this used to avoid informing the
membership of actions taken.; Spencer Kamps, HOME BUILDERS ASSOCIATION OF CENTRAL AZ: Neutral with
Weninger amendment

Lauren Armour, MARICOPA COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE DIST: Maricopa Community Colleges urges support for
allowing our bachelor's of education students to receive four years of Arizona Teachers Academy scholarship
funding.; Francesca Pardes, Self: It is great that this bill expands the Teachers Academy scholarship for community
college students to 4 years; supporting an affordable means to teacher certification. It increases access to higher
education & helps expand the teacher workforce in AZ; Maryann Kenney, Self: Helpful to increase access to higher
ed and teacher certification; Danny Baker, Self: We need qualified, certified teachers in Arizona. Please support
this bill.; Cheryl McCutcheon, Self: | believe this bill will increase access to higher education and diversify the
teaching workforce by facilitating a lower-cost pathway to teacher certification.; Lois Hansen, Self: This bill will
increase access to higher education and diversify the teaching workforce by facilitating a lower-cost pathway to
teacher certification.; Margaret Deming, Self: All for anything to improve the quality of teachers in the AZ
education system.; Judy Shivack, Self: | support affordable pathways to teacher certification given the teacher
shortage.; Shari Schroeder, Self: I'm against any bill that does not extend to all forms of education that my tax
dollars fund

All Comments:

Dennis J Legere, ARIZONA HOMEOWNERS COALITION: This bill reflects 10 years of effort to finally address
inadequate disclosure requirements for home buyers. The amendment is still a work in progress as vital provisions
were removed or significantly altered WITHOUT the consensus of the homeowners.; Lisa Marx, Self: Unbale to;
Clare Scarpulla, Self: There have been several lawsuits and an investigation against my HOA, which ought to have
been required to be disclosed to potential home buyers without a specific request.; Denise Priddy, Self: We were
informed that the common area directly behind our home was owned and maintained by the HOA.The HOA has
not maintained the area and the common area is a major fire danger as noted in 3 violation letters from the local
fire dept fire marshal.; Diana Dow, Self: HB-2397 increases HOA transparency and accountability by limiting
arbitrary covenants, requiring accurate buyer disclosures, and clarifying member and board duties. It protects
property rights and prevents spiteful actions. Please vote YES.; Jeff Carr, Self: We need full disclosure; Daniel Stasi,
Self: Terms in this bill can be interpreted differently. Being "spiteful" will be seen by one side as just being fair and
by the other side as unfair.; Spencer Kamps, HOME BUILDERS ASSOCIATION OF CENTRAL AZ: Neutral with the
Weninger Amendment

All Comments:

Theresa Prichard, Self: Local control of the short term rentals in our communities is much needed.; Paul Davenport,
Self: | support the original bill. Communities need to be able to limit the number of STRs. The striker is helpful but
falls short of what communities need.. With the striker, this bill falls are short of what is needed. .; Janie Hydrick,
Self: "Locals" such as cities and counties know better when and how to regulate local short-term and vacation
rentals.; Dwight Kadar, Self: The quality of life for Sedona residences is suffering because of STR's. Give us local
control.; Andrea Kadar, Self: The quality of life for Sedona residences is suffering because of STR's. Give us local
control.; Marguerite Chaikin, Self: Cities and Towns need to have sway over the proportion of STR homes in the
mix of housing options to maintain community cohesion.; Mary Ann Graffagnino, Self: Very much needed.; David
Higuera, Self: It's about local control. Cities and counties are in the best position to determine whether and how
short-term rentals should be regulated in their communities. This would give them that authority. Govt closest to
the people is best.; Lisa Olson, Self: The GOP-led legislature allowed for excessive rental properties in 2016, which
has led to gentrification. Sedona is an example of the negative impact of pricing out everyday residents and driving
a housing emergency. We must address this. | support!; Brenda Nelson, Self: This legislation addresses short-term
& vacation rentals and fix the harms caused by banning local regulation. SUPPORT; Linda Edwards, Self: Local
regulation is the only way to go.; Penny Boone, Self: Cities and counties need to be able to regulate the number of
short-term and vacation rentals; Valerie Policastro Edie, Self: this is becoming a huge issue in Pima county;
Kathleen Dubbs, Self: Local rule!; Francesca Pardes, Self: By allowing cities & counties to limit the number of short-
term rentals by capping permits or licenses or requiring minimum distance requirements would certainly help
everyday AZ residents' ability to find affordable housing for their families.; Roxanna Kearns, Self: Allow cities and
counties to limit the number of short-term and vacation rentals by capping permits or licenses or by establishing
minimum distance requirements.; Carolyn Watson, Self: Please vote yes on this bill, allowing cities to maintain
some local contol for vacation rentals. Unbridled vacation rentals have blown the housing market into a direction
no one can afford. Thank you.; Rebecca Haynes, Self: The grandfather clause is still problematic, but the legislature
must address the harms they caused by banning local regulation, and you have to start somewhere.; Kristen
Abrahamson, Self: | agree - these short term rentals are pricing our residents out of access to reasonable rents and
affordable housing.; Fred Miller, Self: Good legislation.; Elizabeth Brauer, Self: There needs to be limits on short
term rentals, which are a waste of housing resources; Mary Gaudio, Self: STRs are out of control; cities and towns
must be able to regulate the bad actors. Vote YES!; Barbara Larson, Self: comment; Carol Garnett, Self: Short term
rentals are taking homes from local employees. It should be regulated locally.; Sandra Rizzo, Self: Cities need this
for stability.; Amy Gaiennie, Self: | strongly support a bill that allows cities and counties to regulate the number of
short-term and vacation rentals.; Mary Keerins, Self: Allow cities and counties to regulate the number of short-
term and vacation rentals. Local regulation makes sense; Angela Buer, Self: The GOP-led legislature allowed for
excessive rental properties in 2016, which has led to gentrification. Sedona is an example of the negative impact of
pricing out everyday residents and driving a housing emergency. We must address this. | support!; Margaret
Tinsley, Self: This is an issue that should be subject to local control. Please vote yes.; Lisa Maczura, Self: Keep
regulation local. Locals know.; Jacqueline deSa, Self: Regulation of short term and vacation rentals is a good step in
the right direction; Susan Ordway, Self: Not allowing local communities to limit the number of short term rentals
has, in some communities, priced local residents out of the market. This is unfair, and needs to change.,; Salie
Travis, Self: It is time to allow cities and counties to limit the number of short-term and vacation rentals. Sedona is
one example of the state's overreach in this case; allowing workers to sleep in cars is ridiculous. Support.; Martha
O'Connor, Self: Harms local regulation; Allen Brown, Self: | support HB 2429. Short term rentals have helped to
price the average person out of home ownership. Allowing cities and counties to limit short term vacation rentals
fixes a problem that was previously created by the Arizona legislature.; Jerrold Borchardt, Self: In 2016 the
legislature banned local regulation, which adversely affected the housing market. This bill will address some of the
harms caused by that 2016 bill. | don't like it, but | SUPPORT this bill.; Bridget Clark-Cooper, Self: It's important to
keep control of the rules for the # of short term & vacation rentals in the local city or county. Local regulation is
CRITICAL!; Jillian Ryan, Self: We aren't happy about the grandfather clause, but the legislature must address the
harms they caused by banning local regulation, and they have to start somewhere; Marcia Tingley, Self: Limiting
cities’ ability to regulate short-term rentals created a crisis for the AZ housing market, often pricing out residents.
Local regulation would help alleviate this housing crisis.; Jonathan Brechner, Self: Makes sense regarding rentals.;
Janie Smieszek, Self: Counties should have the power to regulate the number of rentals; marcia stewart, Self:
Guardrails are needed for this out of control industry; James Roth, Self: Protects homeowners from public nuisance
that reduces property values; Patricia Poe, Self: Please vote for this bill. Cities and counties bear the brundt health,
safety & law enforcement related to short-term rentals. They should at least be able to limit the number in their
jurisdictions. Thank you.,; Sara Isett, Self: Good policy that will help alleviate the housing shortage.; Aaron Essif,
Self: Good bill; JOHN FIENE, Self: My wife and I are surrounded by short-term rentals in Sedona. We have no
neighbors; we have no street parking, and dangerous ingress and egress on party weekends. Please limit STRs! LD1
voter; William Bowlus-Root, Self: This makes good sense.; Mary Pena, Self: The legislature must address the harms
they caused by banning local regulation; Christine Cielens, Self: Yes regulate vac and short term rentals; Wego All,
Self: proposed section 11a) ESTABLISHING MAX # OF VACA/SHORT-TERM RENTAL REGULATORY PERMITS
restricting private property rights big time through the issuance of permits and is a slippery slope for other issues
like well permits, and water service permits.; RITA DEPUYDT, Self: Cities and counties should have more control
over STRs.; NEIGHBORHOOD COALITION OF GREATER PHOENIX, Self: HB2429 provides common-sense guardrails
that protect neighborhood quality of life while maintaining property rights. It doesn't ban short-term rentals or
harm Arizona's tourism economy. It strengthens safety protections for Arizona neighborhoods.; Jeanmarie Haney,
Self: Life as | knew it was ruined by runaway STRs. We had to sell, as over 1/2 of our neighborhood converted to
STRs with 2am noise and fights and no local entity to call. Police were often called. Return control and regulation
of STRs to the locals!; Kathryn Avila Hammond, Self: cities and counties must have the ability to regulate short
term rentals, to assure available housing for workers who keep the economy running.; Erin Dahl, Self: | am in
support of the bill allowing cities and counties to regulate the number of short-term and vacation rentals.; Alisa
McMahon, Self: S/E: | supported the introduced bill even though it was far too little, far too late. The striker
doesn’t begin to scratch the surface of the reforms needed to correct the STR mess created by the legislature.;
Susan Bowen, Self: 20% OF SEDONA HOMES ARE NOW SHORT-TERM RENTALS DRIVING A HOUSING EMERGENCY
THAT HAS THE CITY SCRAMBLING WITH DRASTIC MEASURES LIKE CREATING A PROGRAM THAT ALLOWS WORKERS
TO SLEEP IN THEIR CARS. NOT HAPPY ABOUT GRANDFATHERING - HAVE TO START SOMEWHER; Deirdre
MacDonald, Self: This is a problem in my neighborhood in Yuma where 4 houses out of 15 on our cul-de-sac are
short-term and vacation rentals.; Jackie Rich, Self: Thank you for hearing and supporting this bill which would help
control dangerous party houses in short term rentals. Please also give regulation authority of STRs back to local
governments. STR problems are local and not statewide.; Michelle Lerman, Self: Cities and counties should
regulate the number of short-term and vacation rentals in their communities.; Michael Fiflis, Self: S/E: | would have
supported the introduced bill, but cannot support the striker as it does nothing to solve the STR crisis.; Victoria
Bacs, Self: Building code violation language far to generic Sex offender required background check requirement is
irrational- what hotel has this requirement? Occupancy requirements are FAR more restrictive than hotels? WHY?
4 adults can sleep in hotel rooms!?!; Margie Gomez, Self: The GOP-led legislature allowed for excessive rental
properties in 2016, which has led to gentrification. Sedona is an example of the negative impact of pricing out
everyday residents and driving a housing emergency. We must address this. SUPPORT; Susan Edwards, Self: 90% of
AZ's STRs are illegal w/o TPT licenses. The ad rules deleted by the striker encourage that to continue, along
w/cities' inability to enforce occupancy. Taking away ability to control density will create more "neighborless
neighborhoods"; Kristin White, Self: Anything to help cities control the housing crisis is welcome news.; Stephen
Flaaen, Self: Yes for local control over the regulation of short-term rentals.; Sara Sparman, "SCOTTSDALE, CITY OF
": Support the strike everything amendment.

All Comments:

Annette Cohen, Self: Dennis Legere to represent me at the committee meeting; Dennis J Legere, ARIZONA
HOMEOWNERS COALITION: The dispute resolution process was always intended as a lower-cost alternative to civil
litigation to enforce the laws and governing documents of these communities. But that fee is set by the ADRE rule
at $500 per issue, which is unreasonable.; Clare Scarpulla, Self: The cost of $500 reduced to $300 helps those who
need to challenge their HOA Boards in the Dispute Resolution Process.; Denise Priddy, Self: The ADRE dispute
resolution process for owners in an HOA is our only tool to enforce the law without extremely costly litigation. The
$500 per issue filing fee is a deterrence to use this process to ensure the HOA follows the law. $300 is reasonable.;
Jeff Carr, Self: Common sense legislation; Ann Friday, Self: | have experienced events in which the HOA exceeded
their authority to impose new regs outside of our CCR's or held "emergency" email voting meetings without proper
notice or subsequent minutes. The $500 filing fee discouraged me from using ADRE.; Larry Springer, Self: This fee
is too high per issue and discourages members from filing. They feel defeated before starting.; Spencer Kamps,

All Comments:

JOHN FIENE, Self: We live next to a house that has been under demolition and construction for 3 years. The owners
have been cheated by two general contractors. With the latest abandonment, we have to view the mess every day.
Punish the cheaters! LD1 voter; Glenn Sollers, Self: Getting reimbursed from this fund is a labyrinthine process that
can take years; even if a homeowner is entitled to a claim, there must be money in the fund for them to receive a
payout. This bill is an attack on consumer protection.; Stephen Flaaen, Self: Do not remove consumer protections!;
Judith Simons, Self: Homeowners deserve protection when contractors fail to uphold contract obligations. This bill
attacks that protection.; Alisa McMahon, Self: Terrible idea. The statute that would be repealed incentivizes
contractors to perform their work properly. It also provides one of the few recourses consumers have against
irresponsible entities in an industry we all deal with.; Michael Fiflis, Self: Removing one of the key tools available to
get work done to minimum standards by the class of contractors for which those tolls are needed will only
encourage non-compliance. | see the need for it over and over with my clients who have work done.; Charlie Silver,
Self: Not holding the responsible party responsible. Really?; Susan Morris, Self: Why should contractors who do
lousy work not be held accountable?; Brenda Nelson, Self: This proposed legislation attacks consumer protections.
OPPOSE; Chris Senko, Self: It's about accountability.; Linda Edwards, Self: Is the bill's sponsor linked to a
contractor?; Jeri Dow, Self: this bill is an attack on consumer protection; Kathy Pyner, Self: Contractors must be
held accountable; Penny Boone, Self: NO! This bill is an attack on consumer protection; Martha O'Connor, Self: This
bill is an attack on consumer protection.; Kathleen Dubbs, Self: So we don't want consumers to be protected from
scams and shoddy work?; Francesca Pardes, Self: This bill is an attack on consumer protection. Now, homeowners
can file an administrative claim against a recovery fund that contractors pay into at licensing,to provide restitution
for work not one or defective. with this bill they have no recourse.; Roxanna Kearns, Self: This bill is an attack on
consumer protection. Licensed contractors must provide restitution to homeowners if they abandon residential
contracts or do work so shoddy it constitutes grounds to suspend their license.; Carolyn Watson, Self: Please vote
"no" on this bill and allow consumer protection from dishonest/shoddy contractors to remain in place. Thank you.;
Rebecca Haynes, Self: This bill is an attack on consumer protection.; Mary Gaudio, Self: Protect AZ consumers, not
contractors.; Carol Garnett, Self: Homeowners should be able to file these claims.; Jennifer Dawson, Self: an attack
on consumer protection.; Sandra Rizzo, Self: | can't believe how anti-consumer protection some lawmakers are! OF
COURSE this should not pass, as many people are bilked without an adequate means of compensation. Do not pass
this bill.; Amy Gaiennie, Self: | strongly oppose this bill.; Jean Meconi, Self: Consumers are already under protected

10
from shoddy and incomplete workmanship. | had to have a bathroom remodel completed redone due to shoddy
workmanship, so ended up paying twice for the same job.; Mary Keerins, Self: Do you have a fly-by-night
contractor friend? This bill is an attack on consumer protection.; Chrisie Gilbert, Self: This is a terrible idea. ROC
would lose one of its tools to require contractors to pay back victims through the administrative process.
Homeowners would likely have to go to court instead. Removing that option shifts more burden onto
homeowners.; Donna Corbin, Self: This is an attack on consumer protections.; Angela Buer, Self: This bill is an
attack on Arizona homeowners. By repealing the Registrar of Contractors’ authority to order restitution, this bill
leaves families with no recourse against shoddy work or abandoned contracts. We must protect consumers. |
OPPOSE.; Margaret Tinsley, Self: This bill is an attack on Arizona consumers, also known as voters and constituents.
The only ones to be helped are shoddy and dishonest contractors. Please vote no.; Jacqueline deSa, Self: | was one
who suffered after a licensed contractor took my money and ran. Got NO help from the contractors' Registrar.
Definitely NO on this one.; Jerrold Borchardt, Self: This bill is an attack on consumer protection. OPPOSED!!;
Marilyn Murov, Self: Consumers need reliable, easy to access protection from shoddy or incomplete work.; Marcia
Tingley, Self: Currently, aggrieved homeowners can file an administrative claim, but reimbursement through this
process can take years. This bill is an attack on consumer protection. Strongly oppose.; Theresa Ryan, Self: This bill
is an attack on consumer protection.; Christopher Cerrato, Self: This bill is an attack on consumer protections;
Aaron Essif, Self: This is an attack on consumer protection.; Susan Ordway, Self: This bill is an attack on consumer
protection.; Michael Tarek, Self: This bill is an attack on consumer protection.; Theresa Prichard, Self: Why? A
proposal to protect contractors and limits the rights of the consumer. Why?; Bridget Clark-Cooper, Self: It's critical
that homeowners can file an administrative claim against a contractor who provided shoddy work or abandoned
the job completely. This is consumer protection. TV shows (Holmes "Make it Right") show real life not covered by
this fund.; Erin Dahl, Self: | oppose the bill that would repeal the Registrar of Contractors’ ability to order licensed
contractors to provide restitution to homeowners if they abandon residential contracts or do work so shoddy it
constitutes grounds to suspend their license.; Karen Brown, Self: Homeowners must have some means of holding
contractors accountable and be able to receive compensation for poor workmanship.; Felisa Gilley, Self: This bill is
an attack on consumer protection.; Salie Travis, Self: Oh, hell, NO! Consumers don't have enough problems finding
honest contractors who do good work and now we want to remove any protections for shoddy work/workers?
Arizona could become a haven for contractor fraud! What could go wrong? Oppose!; Barbara Lucas, Self: This bill is
an attack on consumer protection; Jillian Ryan, Self: This bill is an attack on consumer protection.; Greg Olszta, Self:
This bill is an attack on consumer protection.; Sara Isett, Self: This bill is an attack on consumer protection.; Claudia
Yeager-Smith, Self: This bill is an attack on consumer protection in so many ways. STRONGLY OPPOSE!!!!; Sue Diaz,
Self: Licensed contractors should pay restitution for inferior work.; Jonathan Brechner, Self: Why wouldn't we want
to protect homeowners against poor work and attack contractors who are at fault?; Mary Pena, Self: This bill is an
attack on consumer protection.; Allen Brown, Self: | oppose HB2911. This bill strips any safeguards that consumers
have for restitution for shoddy workmanship by a contractor.; Kathryn Avila Hammond, Self: this bill is an attack on
consumer protection. Homeowners deserve to be protected from dishonest and shoddy construction; Susan
Bowen, Self: GETTING REIMBURSE FROM THIS FUND IS A LABYRINTHINE PROCESS THAT CAN TAKE YEARS. THIS BILL
IS AN ATTACK ON CONSUMER PROTECTION.; Michelle Lerman, Self: Protect consumers seeking refunds for
defective workmanship.; Margie Gomez, Self: This bill is an attack on Arizona homeowners. By repealing the
Registrar of Contractors' authority to order restitution, this bill leaves families with no recourse against shoddy
work or abandoned contracts. We must protect consumers. OPPOSE; Kathryn Dorn, Self: Why exactly would the
Legislature offer this legal and financial shield to contractors who effectively break their contracts with
homeowners, rather than protecting the injured homeowners?; Marin Lersch, Self: This strips away consumer
protection designed to protect homeowners from poor workmanship.

HB 2342: homeowners' associations; shade structures
Sponsor: Representative Travers, LD 12
Committee on Commerce

Overview
Prevents a planned community association from restricting the backyard installation or use

of a shade structure.

History
A condominium or planned community association (HOA) is formed and organized under

governing documents which include a declaration, bylaws and articles of incorporation, if
any. An HOA is responsible for managing, maintaining and improving community property.
Members of the association elect a board of directors who are given general management
powers to act on behalf of the association (Title 33, Chapters 9 & 16, A.R.S.).

Statute prohibits a planned community association from restricting the installation or use of
solar energy devices but allows an association to adopt reasonable rules regarding the
placement of a device, if those rules do not prevent the installation, impair the function or
restrict use of the device. An associations rules also cannot adversely affect the cost or
efficiency of the device. Furthermore, statute directs courts to award reasonable attorney fees
and costs to any party who prevails in an action against the board of directors of the planned
community association for a violation of these rules (A.R.S. § 33-1816).

Provisions
1. Asserts a planned community association cannot prohibit the backyard installation or use

of a shade structure. (Sec. 1)

2. Allows a planned community association to adopt reasonable rules regarding the size,
placement or appearance of a shade structure if they do not:
a. prevent the installation, impair the functioning or restrict the use of the structure;
b. adversely affect the cost of the structure; and
c. create height and setback requirements for a single-family home that are more
restrictive than the zoning ordinances within the applicable city or town. (Sec. 1)

38. Directs courts to award reasonable attorney fees and costs to any party who prevails in
an action against the board of directors of the association for a violation of shade structure
restrictions. (Sec. 1)

4. Defines shade structure to mean a temporary or permanent structure that protects an
area from excessive light or heat, including an umbrella or awning or a shade sail, gazebo,
pergola or canopy. (Sec. 1)

Additionally, landlords are required to include an official county motion to compel
satisfaction of judgment form when serving a 10-day notice for material noncompliance with
the rental agreement (A.R.S § 33-1368).

Provisions
1. Stipulates the following apply to a tenant who files a motion to compel satisfaction of the
judgment against a landlord who fails to respond to the motion within 15 days after the
motion is filed:
a. the fee for filing a motion to compel satisfaction of the judgment is waived;
b. the judge or the justice of the peace may not hold a hearing on the motion to compel
satisfaction of the judgment;
c. the judgment is deemed satisfied if the tenant submits proof of payment; and
d. the judge or justice of the peace shall issue an order sealing all records related to the
eviction action. (Sec. 1, 2)

2. Requires landlords to include the applicable county form for a motion to compel
satisfaction of judgment when serving a tenant with a 10-day notice for material
noncompliance. (Sec. 3)
