ATLANTA — Georgia Senate Rules Chairman Sen. Matt Brass, R-Newnan, has appointed a Senate Subcommittee on Homeowners Associations and will serve as its chair.
The subcommittee will include:
- Vice Chair Donzella James, D-Atlanta
- Majority Leader Steve Gooch, R-Dahlonega
- Minority Leader Gloria Butler, D-Stone Mountain
- Sen. Brandon Beach, R-Alpharetta
- Sen. Clint Dixon, R-Gwinnett
- Sen. Michael “Doc” Rhett, D-Marietta
The subcommittee will examine homeowners associations, which are organizations in residential communities responsible for enforcing rules and regulations, maintaining common areas and managing community services across Georgia. Upon its conclusion, it will ensure these entities comply with state law and uphold residents’ constitutional rights.
“HOAs undoubtedly serve a purpose in our communities, but like any governing body, their power cannot be limitless,” Brass said in an announcement. “I look forward to chairing this subcommittee and working alongside my Senate colleagues to tackle this issue.”
The Senate Subcommittee will hold hearings to gather input from concerned citizens and HOA leadership. The subcommittee is scheduled to meet on Sept. 24 and Oct. 22 at the Georgia Capitol.
