Within 21 days after the final financial 28 report is completed by the association or received from the 29 third party, but not later than 120 days after the end of the 30 fiscal year or other date as provided in the bylaws, the 31 association shall mail to each unit owner at the address last 32 furnished to the association by the unit owner, or hand deliver 33 to each unit owner, a copy of the financial report or a notice 34 that a copy of the financial report will be mailed or hand 35 delivered to the unit owner, without charge, upon receipt of a 36 written request from the unit owner. If a unit owner is not 37 provided with the financial report after a second written 38 request, the division may audit the association’s financial 39 statements. The division shall adopt rules setting forth uniform 40 accounting principles and standards to be used by all 41 associations and addressing the financial reporting requirements 42 for multicondominium associations. The rules must include, but 43 not be limited to, standards for presenting a summary of 44 association reserves, including a good faith estimate disclosing 45 the annual amount of reserve funds that would be necessary for 46 the association to fully fund reserves for each reserve item 47 based on the straight-line accounting method. This disclosure is 48 not applicable to reserves funded via the pooling method. In 49 adopting such rules, the division shall consider the number of 50 members and annual revenues of an association. Financial reports 51 shall be prepared as follows: 52 (a) An association that meets the criteria of this 53 paragraph shall prepare a complete set of financial statements 54 in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The 55 financial statements must be based upon the association’s total 56 annual revenues, as follows: 57 1. An association with total annual revenues of $150,000 or 58 more, but less than $300,000, shall prepare compiled financial 59 statements. 60 2. An association with total annual revenues of at least 61 $300,000, but less than $500,000, shall prepare reviewed 62 financial statements. 63 3. An association with total annual revenues of $500,000 or 64 more shall prepare audited financial statements. 65 (b)1. An association with total annual revenues of less 66 than $150,000 shall prepare a report of cash receipts and 67 expenditures. 68 2. An association that operates fewer than 50 units, 69 regardless of the association’s annual revenues, shall prepare a 70 report of cash receipts and expenditures in lieu of financial 71 statements required by paragraph (a). 72 3. A report of cash receipts and disbursements must 73 disclose the amount of receipts by accounts and receipt 74 classifications and the amount of expenses by accounts and 75 expense classifications, including, but not limited to, the 76 following, as applicable: costs for security, professional and 77 management fees and expenses, taxes, costs for recreation 78 facilities, expenses for refuse collection and utility services, 79 expenses for lawn care, costs for building maintenance and 80 repair, insurance costs, administration and salary expenses, and 81 reserves accumulated and expended for capital expenditures, 82 deferred maintenance, and any other category for which the 83 association maintains reserves. 84 (c) An association may prepare, without a meeting of or 85 approval by the unit owners: 86 1. Compiled, reviewed, or audited financial statements, if 87 the association is required to prepare a report of cash receipts 88 and expenditures; 89 2. Reviewed or audited financial statements, if the 90 association is required to prepare compiled financial 91 statements; or 92 3. Audited financial statements if the association is 93 required to prepare reviewed financial statements. 94 (d) If approved by a majority of the voting interests 95 present at a properly called meeting of the association, an 96 association may prepare: 97 1. A report of cash receipts and expenditures in lieu of a 98 compiled, reviewed, or audited financial statement; 99 2. A report of cash receipts and expenditures or a compiled 100 financial statement in lieu of a reviewed or audited financial 101 statement; or 102 3. A report of cash receipts and expenditures, a compiled 103 financial statement, or a reviewed financial statement in lieu 104 of an audited financial statement. 105 106 Such meeting and approval must occur before the end of the 107 fiscal year and is effective only for the fiscal year in which 108 the vote is taken, except that the approval may also be 109 effective for the following fiscal year. If the developer has 110 not turned over control of the association, all unit owners, 111 including the developer, may vote on issues related to the 112 preparation of the association’s financial reports, from the 113 date of incorporation of the association through the end of the 114 second fiscal year after the fiscal year in which the 115 certificate of a surveyor and mapper is recorded pursuant to s. 116 718.104(4)(e) or an instrument that transfers title to a unit in 117 the condominium which is not accompanied by a recorded 118 assignment of developer rights in favor of the grantee of such 119 unit is recorded, whichever occurs first. Thereafter, all unit 120 owners except the developer may vote on such issues until 121 control is turned over to the association by the developer. Any 122 audit or review prepared under this section shall be paid for by 123 the developer if done before turnover of control of the 124 association. An association may not waive the financial 125 reporting requirements of this section for more than 3 126 consecutive years. 127 Section 2. Paragraph (j) of subsection (2) of section 128 718.112, Florida Statutes, is amended to read: 129 718.112 Bylaws.— 130 (2) REQUIRED PROVISIONS.—The bylaws shall provide for the 131 following and, if they do not do so, shall be deemed to include 132 the following: 133 (j) Recall of board members.—Subject to s. 718.301, any 134 member of the board of administration may be recalled and 135 removed from office with or without cause by the vote or 136 agreement in writing by a majority of all the voting interests. 137 A special meeting of the unit owners to recall a member or 138 members of the board of administration may be called by 10 139 percent of the voting interests giving notice of the meeting as 140 required for a meeting of unit owners, and the notice shall 141 state the purpose of the meeting. Electronic transmission may 142 not be used as a method of giving notice of a meeting called in 143 whole or in part for this purpose. 144 1. If the recall is approved by a majority of all voting 145 interests by a vote at a meeting, the recall will be effective 146 as provided in this paragraph. The board shall duly notice and 147 hold a board meeting within 5 full business days after the 148 adjournment of the unit owner meeting to recall one or more 149 board members. At the meeting, the board shall either certify 150 the recall, in which case such member or members shall be 151 recalled effective immediately and shall turn over to the board 152 within 5 full business days any and all records and property of 153 the association in their possession, or shall proceed as set 154 forth in subparagraph 3. 155 2. If the proposed recall is by an agreement in writing by 156 a majority of all voting interests, the agreement in writing or 157 a copy thereof shall be served on the association by certified 158 mail or by personal service in the manner authorized by chapter 159 48 and the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure. The board of 160 administration shall duly notice and hold a meeting of the board 161 within 5 full business days after receipt of the agreement in 162 writing. At the meeting, the board shall either certify the 163 written agreement to recall a member or members of the board, in 164 which case such member or members shall be recalled effective 165 immediately and shall turn over to the board within 5 full 166 business days any and all records and property of the 167 association in their possession, or proceed as described in 168 subparagraph 3. 169 3. If the board determines not to certify the written 170 agreement to recall a member or members of the board, or does 171 not certify the recall by a vote at a meeting, the board shall, 172 within 5 full business days after the meeting, file with the 173 division a petition for arbitration pursuant to the procedures 174 in s. 718.1255. For the purposes of this section, the unit 175 owners who voted at the meeting or who executed the agreement in 176 writing shall constitute one party under the petition for 177 arbitration. If the arbitrator certifies the recall as to any 178 member or members of the board, the recall will be effective 179 upon mailing of the final order of arbitration to the 180 association. If the association fails to comply with the order 181 of the arbitrator, the division may take action pursuant to s. 182 718.501. Any member or members so recalled shall deliver to the 183 board any and all records of the association in their possession 184 within 5 full business days after the effective date of the 185 recall. 186 4. If the board fails to duly notice and hold a board 187 meeting within 5 full business days after service of an 188 agreement in writing or within 5 full business days after the 189 adjournment of the unit owner recall meeting, the recall shall 190 be deemed effective and the board members so recalled shall 191 immediately turn over to the board any and all records and 192 property of the association. 193 5. If the board fails to duly notice and hold the required 194 meeting or fails to file the required petition, the unit owner 195 representative may file a petition pursuant to s. 718.1255 196 challenging the board’s failure to act. The petition must be 197 filed within 60 days after the expiration of the applicable 5 198 full-business-day period. The review of a petition under this 199 subparagraph is limited to the sufficiency of service on the 200 board and the facial validity of the written agreement or 201 ballots filed. 202 6. If a vacancy occurs on the board as a result of a recall 203 or removal and less than a majority of the board members are 204 removed, the vacancy may be filled by the affirmative vote of a 205 majority of the remaining directors, notwithstanding any 206 provision to the contrary contained in this subsection. If 207 vacancies occur on the board as a result of a recall and a 208 majority or more of the board members are removed, the vacancies 209 shall be filled in accordance with procedural rules to be 210 adopted by the division, which rules need not be consistent with 211 this subsection. The rules must provide procedures governing the 212 conduct of the recall election as well as the operation of the 213 association during the period after a recall but before the 214 recall election. 215 7. A board member who has been recalled may file a petition 216 pursuant to s. 718.1255 challenging the validity of the recall. 217 The petition must be filed within 60 days after the recall is 218 deemed certified. The association and the unit owner 219 representative shall be named as the respondents. 220 8. The division may not accept for filing a recall 221 petition, whether filed pursuant to subparagraph 1., 222 subparagraph 2., subparagraph 5., or subparagraph 7. and 223 regardless of whether the recall was certified, when there are 224 60 or fewer days until the scheduled reelection of the board 225 member sought to be recalled or when 60 or fewer days have 226 elapsed since the election of the board member sought to be 227 recalled. 228 9. If the unit owners have attempted to recall the same 229 board member at least two times, the division must coordinate 230 and monitor future recall proceedings of the board. 231 Section 3. Subsection (1) of section 718.501, Florida 232 Statutes, is amended to read: 233 718.501 Authority, responsibility, and duties of Division 234 of Florida Condominiums, Timeshares, and Mobile Homes.— 235 (1) The division shallmayenforce and ensure compliance 236 with the provisions of this chapter and rules relating to the 237 development, construction, sale, lease, ownership, operation, 238 and management of residential condominium units. In performing 239 its duties, the division has complete jurisdiction to 240 investigate complaints and enforce compliance with respect to 241 associations that are still under developer control or the 242 control of a bulk assignee or bulk buyer pursuant to part VII of 243 this chapter and complaints against developers, bulk assignees, 244 or bulk buyers involving improper turnover or failure to 245 turnover, pursuant to s. 718.301. However, after turnover has 246 occurred, the division has jurisdiction to investigate 247 complaints related only to financial issues, elections, and unit 248 owner access to association records pursuant to s. 718.111(12). 249 (a)1. The division may make necessary public or private 250 investigations within or outside this state to determine whether 251 any person has violated this chapter or any rule or order 252 hereunder, to aid in the enforcement of this chapter, or to aid 253 in the adoption of rules or forms. 254 2. The division may submit any official written report, 255 worksheet, or other related paper, or a duly certified copy 256 thereof, compiled, prepared, drafted, or otherwise made by and 257 duly authenticated by a financial examiner or analyst to be 258 admitted as competent evidence in any hearing in which the 259 financial examiner or analyst is available for cross-examination 260 and attests under oath that such documents were prepared as a 261 result of an examination or inspection conducted pursuant to 262 this chapter. 263 (b) The division may require or permit any person to file a 264 statement in writing, under oath or otherwise, as the division 265 determines, as to the facts and circumstances concerning a 266 matter to be investigated. 267 (c) For the purpose of any investigation under this 268 chapter, the division director or any officer or employee 269 designated by the division director may administer oaths or 270 affirmations, subpoena witnesses and compel their attendance, 271 take evidence, and require the production of any matter which is 272 relevant to the investigation, including the existence, 273 description, nature, custody, condition, and location of any 274 books, documents, or other tangible things and the identity and 275 location of persons having knowledge of relevant facts or any 276 other matter reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of 277 material evidence. Upon the failure by a person to obey a 278 subpoena or to answer questions propounded by the investigating 279 officer and upon reasonable notice to all affected persons, the 280 division may apply to the circuit court for an order compelling 281 compliance. 282 (d) Notwithstanding any remedies available to unit owners 283 and associations, if the division has reasonable cause to 284 believe that a violation of any provision of this chapter or 285 related rule has occurred, the division may institute 286 enforcement proceedings in its own name against any developer, 287 bulk assignee, bulk buyer, association, officer, or member of 288 the board of administration, or its assignees or agents, as 289 follows: 290 1. The division may permit a person whose conduct or 291 actions may be under investigation to waive formal proceedings 292 and enter into a consent proceeding whereby orders, rules, or 293 letters of censure or warning, whether formal or informal, may 294 be entered against the person. 295 2. The division may issue an order requiring the developer, 296 bulk assignee, bulk buyer, association, developer-designated 297 officer, or developer-designated member of the board of 298 administration, developer-designated assignees or agents, bulk 299 assignee-designated assignees or agents, bulk buyer-designated 300 assignees or agents, community association manager, or community 301 association management firm to cease and desist from the 302 unlawful practice and take such affirmative action as in the 303 judgment of the division carry out the purposes of this chapter. 304 If the division finds that a developer, bulk assignee, bulk 305 buyer, association, officer, or member of the board of 306 administration, or its assignees or agents, is violating or is 307 about to violate any provision of this chapter, any rule adopted 308 or order issued by the division, or any written agreement 309 entered into with the division, and presents an immediate danger 310 to the public requiring an immediate final order, it may issue 311 an emergency cease and desist order reciting with particularity 312 the facts underlying such findings. The emergency cease and 313 desist order is effective for 90 days. If the division begins 314 nonemergency cease and desist proceedings, the emergency cease 315 and desist order remains effective until the conclusion of the 316 proceedings under ss. 120.569 and 120.57. 317 3. If a developer, bulk assignee, or bulk buyer, fails to 318 pay any restitution determined by the division to be owed, plus 319 any accrued interest at the highest rate permitted by law, 320 within 30 days after expiration of any appellate time period of 321 a final order requiring payment of restitution or the conclusion 322 of any appeal thereof, whichever is later, the division must 323 bring an action in circuit or county court on behalf of any 324 association, class of unit owners, lessees, or purchasers for 325 restitution, declaratory relief, injunctive relief, or any other 326 available remedy. The division may also temporarily revoke its 327 acceptance of the filing for the developer to which the 328 restitution relates until payment of restitution is made. 329 4. The division may petition the court for appointment of a 330 receiver or conservator. If appointed, the receiver or 331 conservator may take action to implement the court order to 332 ensure the performance of the order and to remedy any breach 333 thereof. In addition to all other means provided by law for the 334 enforcement of an injunction or temporary restraining order, the 335 circuit court may impound or sequester the property of a party 336 defendant, including books, papers, documents, and related 337 records, and allow the examination and use of the property by 338 the division and a court-appointed receiver or conservator. 339 5. The division may apply to the circuit court for an order 340 of restitution whereby the defendant in an action brought 341 pursuant to subparagraph 4. is ordered to make restitution of 342 those sums shown by the division to have been obtained by the 343 defendant in violation of this chapter. At the option of the 344 court, such restitution is payable to the conservator or 345 receiver appointed pursuant to subparagraph 4. or directly to 346 the persons whose funds or assets were obtained in violation of 347 this chapter. 348 6. The division may impose a civil penalty against a 349 developer, bulk assignee, or bulk buyer, or association, or its 350 assignee or agent, for any violation of this chapter or related 351 rule. The division may impose a civil penalty individually 352 against an officer or board member who willfully and knowingly 353 violates a provision of this chapter, adopted rule, or a final 354 order of the division; may order the removal of such individual 355 as an officer or from the board of administration or as an 356 officer of the association; and may prohibit such individual 357 from serving as an officer or on the board of a community 358 association for a period of time. The term “willfully and 359 knowingly” means that the division informed the officer or board 360 member that his or her action or intended action violates this 361 chapter, a rule adopted under this chapter, or a final order of 362 the division and that the officer or board member refused to 363 comply with the requirements of this chapter, a rule adopted 364 under this chapter, or a final order of the division. The 365 division, before initiating formal agency action under chapter 366 120, must afford the officer or board member an opportunity to 367 voluntarily comply, and an officer or board member who complies 368 within 10 days is not subject to a civil penalty. A penalty may 369 be imposed on the basis of each day of continuing violation, but 370 the penalty for any offense may not exceed $5,000. By January 1, 371 1998, the division shall adopt, by rule, penalty guidelines 372 applicable to possible violations or to categories of violations 373 of this chapter or rules adopted by the division. The guidelines 374 must specify a meaningful range of civil penalties for each such 375 violation of the statute and rules and must be based upon the 376 harm caused by the violation, the repetition of the violation, 377 and upon such other factors deemed relevant by the division. For 378 example, the division may consider whether the violations were 379 committed by a developer, bulk assignee, or bulk buyer, or 380 owner-controlled association, the size of the association, and 381 other factors. The guidelines must designate the possible 382 mitigating or aggravating circumstances that justify a departure 383 from the range of penalties provided by the rules. It is the 384 legislative intent that minor violations be distinguished from 385 those which endanger the health, safety, or welfare of the 386 condominium residents or other persons and that such guidelines 387 provide reasonable and meaningful notice to the public of likely 388 penalties that may be imposed for proscribed conduct. This 389 subsection does not limit the ability of the division to 390 informally dispose of administrative actions or complaints by 391 stipulation, agreed settlement, or consent order. All amounts 392 collected shall be deposited with the Chief Financial Officer to 393 the credit of the Division of Florida Condominiums, Timeshares, 394 and Mobile Homes Trust Fund. If a developer, bulk assignee, or 395 bulk buyer fails to pay the civil penalty and the amount deemed 396 to be owed to the association, the division shall issue an order 397 directing that such developer, bulk assignee, or bulk buyer 398 cease and desist from further operation until such time as the 399 civil penalty is paid or may pursue enforcement of the penalty 400 in a court of competent jurisdiction. If an association fails to 401 pay the civil penalty, the division shall pursue enforcement in 402 a court of competent jurisdiction, and the order imposing the 403 civil penalty or the cease and desist order is not effective 404 until 20 days after the date of such order. Any action commenced 405 by the division shall be brought in the county in which the 406 division has its executive offices or in the county where the 407 violation occurred. 408 7. If a unit owner presents the division with proof that 409 the unit owner has requested access to official records in 410 writing by certified mail, and that after 10 days the unit owner 411 again made the same request for access to official records in 412 writing by certified mail, and that more than 10 days has 413 elapsed since the second request and the association has still 414 failed or refused to provide access to official records as 415 required by this chapter, the division shall issue a subpoena 416 requiring production of the requested records where the records 417 are kept pursuant to s. 718.112. 418 8. In addition to subparagraph 6., the division may seek 419 the imposition of a civil penalty through the circuit court for 420 any violation for which the division may issue a notice to show 421 cause under paragraph (r). The civil penalty shall be at least 422 $500 but no more than $5,000 for each violation. The court may 423 also award to the prevailing party court costs and reasonable 424 attorney’s fees and, if the division prevails, may also award 425 reasonable costs of investigation. 426 (e) The division may prepare and disseminate a prospectus 427 and other information to assist prospective owners, purchasers, 428 lessees, and developers of residential condominiums in assessing 429 the rights, privileges, and duties pertaining thereto. 430 (f) The division may adopt rules to administer and enforce 431 the provisions of this chapter. 432 (g) The division shall establish procedures for providing 433 notice to an association and the developer, bulk assignee, or 434 bulk buyer during the period in which the developer, bulk 435 assignee, or bulk buyer controls the association if the division 436 is considering the issuance of a declaratory statement with 437 respect to the declaration of condominium or any related 438 document governing such condominium community. 439 (h) The division shall furnish each association that pays 440 the fees required by paragraph (2)(a) a copy of this chapter, as 441 amended, and the rules adopted thereto on an annual basis. 442 (i) The division shall annually provide each association 443 with a summary of declaratory statements and formal legal 444 opinions relating to the operations of condominiums which were 445 rendered by the division during the previous year. 446 (j) The division shall provide training and educational 447 programs for condominium association board members and unit 448 owners. The training may, in the division’s discretion, include 449 web-based electronic media, and live training and seminars in 450 various locations throughout the state. The division may review 451 and approve education and training programs for board members 452 and unit owners offered by providers and shall maintain a 453 current list of approved programs and providers and make such 454 list available to board members and unit owners in a reasonable 455 and cost-effective manner. 456 (k) The division shall maintain a toll-free telephone 457 number accessible to condominium unit owners. 458 (l) The division shall develop a program to certify both 459 volunteer and paid mediators to provide mediation of condominium 460 disputes. The division shall provide, upon request, a list of 461 such mediators to any association, unit owner, or other 462 participant in arbitration proceedings under s. 718.1255 463 requesting a copy of the list. The division shall include on the 464 list of volunteer mediators only the names of persons who have 465 received at least 20 hours of training in mediation techniques 466 or who have mediated at least 20 disputes. In order to become 467 initially certified by the division, paid mediators must be 468 certified by the Supreme Court to mediate court cases in county 469 or circuit courts. However, the division may adopt, by rule, 470 additional factors for the certification of paid mediators, 471 which must be related to experience, education, or background. 472 Any person initially certified as a paid mediator by the 473 division must, in order to continue to be certified, comply with 474 the factors or requirements adopted by rule. 475 (m) If a complaint is made, the division must conduct its 476 inquiry with due regard for the interests of the affected 477 parties. Within 30 days after receipt of a complaint, the 478 division shall acknowledge the complaint in writing and notify 479 the complainant whether the complaint is within the jurisdiction 480 of the division and whether additional information is needed by 481 the division from the complainant. The division shall conduct 482 its investigation and, within 90 days after receipt of the 483 original complaint or of timely requested additional 484 information, take action upon the complaint. However, the 485 failure to complete the investigation within 90 days does not 486 prevent the division from continuing the investigation, 487 accepting or considering evidence obtained or received after 90 488 days, or taking administrative action if reasonable cause exists 489 to believe that a violation of this chapter or a rule has 490 occurred. If an investigation is not completed within the time 491 limits established in this paragraph, the division shall, on a 492 monthly basis, notify the complainant in writing of the status 493 of the investigation. When reporting its action to the 494 complainant, the division shall inform the complainant of any 495 right to a hearing pursuant to ss. 120.569 and 120.57. 496 (n) Condominium association directors, officers, and 497 employees; condominium developers; bulk assignees, bulk buyers, 498 and community association managers; and community association 499 management firms have an ongoing duty to reasonably cooperate 500 with the division in any investigation pursuant to this section. 501 The division shall refer to local law enforcement authorities 502 any person whom the division believes has altered, destroyed, 503 concealed, or removed any record, document, or thing required to 504 be kept or maintained by this chapter with the purpose to impair 505 its verity or availability in the department’s investigation. 506 (o) The division may: 507 1. Contract with agencies in this state or other 508 jurisdictions to perform investigative functions; or 509 2.
