LEGISLATIVE UPDATE... from page 8. • Adoption of uniform com- mon ownership interest leg- islation (the revival of UCIOA by the NJ Law Review Commission – S2261/A4265). We’re proud to report that this bill was nearly unani- mously approved by the legislature, for the second time, and now sits on the Governor’s desk awaiting his signature. Much has occurred since I wrote that column in January, including a gradual and welcomed lifting of the Governor’s State of Emergency in response to encouraging reports of increasing vaccinations and lessen- ing infection rates, hospitalizations and deaths from COVID‑19 . It was our hope then that if those encourag- ing trends continued, by January 1, 2022, when our immunity legislation is set to expire there would be no need for this immunity. Unfortunately, as I write this column those numbers are danger- ously trending in the wrong direction here in New Jersey and around the nation. We continue to monitor this worsening situation and are prepared to seek an extension of the NJ law that provided limited immunity to common interest communities from COVID -related claims if that becomes necessary. We will keep you posted. I recommend that you pick up and read last month’s issue (September 2021) of Community Trends ® , known as the “LAC Issue”, to learn about these issues in more detail. Also, don’t forget to attend the Legislative Update presen- tation at the Conference and Expo on October 21st in Freehold… see you there. In the meantime, stay safe! n
