2025 MARYLAND LEGISLATIVE UPDATE

This year’s legislative session was consumed by the budget and the structural deficit that the legislature faced due to a number of factors. As a result, many bills that would have helped community associations did not pass. The following bills passed the Maryland General Assembly in the 2025 session and were signed by Governor Wes Moore. The laws will become effective on October 1, 2025. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

June 2025 E-Newsletter – Virginia Legislative Update

June 3, 2025
It was a busy legislative session for the Virginia General Assembly in Richmond this year with over 2,634 bills introduced and 822 bills passed. Below is a summary of some of the more impactful legislation affecting common interest communities in Virginia. Senate Bill 1291 amends Section 16.1-77 of the Virginia Code to raise the jurisdictional maximum limit for all claims filed within the general district courts in Virginia from $25,000 to $50,000. This allows our common interest communities (CIC) to continue to file most of their assessment debt collection cases in the lower courts, bypassing the more cumbersome and time-consuming circuit courts.

This statistic isn’t shocking as almost all major car brands, including luxury brands, offer an EV option. Many of these options were on display at the 2025 D.C. Auto Show held at the D.C. Convention Center earlier this year, such as the Ford F-15-Lightning, the Hyundai Ioniq, the Toyota BZ4X, and, of course, the Tesla Cybertruck.
