Costs could be charged for copies of common interest community association documents, under a bill passed 128-0 by the House March 7.

People living in a condominium, townhouse or other common interest community generally belong to an association that pays for such things as lawn care and snow removal.

The association financial records, membership, board minutes, contracts and other agreements are available for owner review, but not copies.

Rep. Phyllis Kahn (DFL-Mpls) sponsors HF362 that would allow owners to have copies of the documents and would permit the association to charge a fee for copies; however, no more than 25 cents per page could be charged for 100 or fewer pages of black and white copies. Excluded from access, however, would be records related to information that was the basis for closing a board meeting.

“This will keep confidential records confidential,” Kahn said.

The bill now goes to the Senate where Sen. Larry Pogemiller (DFL-Mpls) is its sponsor.
