ATLANTA (September 17, 2024) — Senate Rules Chairman Sen. Matt Brass (R–Newnan) has appointed a Senate Subcommittee on Homeowners Associations, where he will serve as Chair. The subcommittee will examine homeowners associations (HOAs), 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.
Sen. Brass spoke on the importance of the subcommittee, stating, “HOAs undoubtedly serve a purpose in our communities, but like any governing body, their power cannot be limitless. 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 will include Vice Chair Donzella James (D–Atlanta), Majority Leader Steve Gooch (R–Dahlonega), Minority Leader Gloria Butler (D–Stone Mountain) and Senators Brandon Beach (R–Alpharetta), Clint Dixon (R–Gwinnett) and Michael “Doc” Rhett (D–Marietta). The subcommittee is scheduled to meet on September 24 and October 22 in Room 450 of the Capitol. For more information on the subcommittee’s work and upcoming meetings, visit the Senate website here.
