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 bidding on large projects and contracts. This lack of transparency can result in higher fees for homeowners, less accountability, and missed opportunities for fair competition. If passed, AB-129 will require HOAs to publicly bid 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] and you can CC this email as well [email protected].
Example Email
I write asking you to schedule AB129 for a hearing ASAP. The bill is important to all Nevadan homeowners living in HOAs. It seeks to close loopholes in current Nevada law allowing HOA boards to avoid bidding large projects. It will among other things provide more transparency for owners and aid in controlling rapidly rising HOA fees owners are experiencing.
Please do not let deep pocket industry players prevail in opposing AB-129 out of the public eye. Requiring bids for large contracts is a widely accepted good business practice. The bill, once amended as its sponsor Assm Dickman is proposing, will have strong support and is non-partisan.
