What is AB-129?
AB-129 is a crucial bill that aims to close a significant loophole in Nevada law that currently allows HOA boards to avoid getting competitive bids for hoa projects and contracts, allowing for “playing favorites” when awarding contracts . This lack of transparency often results in higher fees for homeowners, less accountability, and missed opportunities for fair competition and small locally owned businesses. If passed, AB-129 will require HOAs to publicly request competitive bids on large projects, helping ensure that homeowners get the best value for their money.
Why AB-129 Matters
For homeowners living in HOAs, AB-129 is a game-changer. By requiring bids for large contracts, the bill will increase transparency and protect homeowners from unchecked fee increases. It will also improve the overall governance of HOAs, making sure that projects are handled fairly and that homeowners have a clear understanding of where their money is going.
Why We Need Your Help
AB-129 is a step forward for Nevada homeowners, but it can only move forward if it gets scheduled for a hearing. The bill’s sponsor, Assemblymember Dickman, is ready to introduce an amendment that will make the bill even stronger, but this can’t happen until it gets its first hearing in the Assembly Judiciary Committee.
That’s where you come in—by contacting Assembly Member Brittney Miller, the Chair of the Assembly Judiciary Committee, and urging her to schedule AB-129 for a hearing. This is an important step to ensure that AB-129 is not delayed or forgotten. This is her email that you can send your message to [email protected]
