Amends various sections of the NC Planned Community Act (Planned Community Act) and the NC Condominium Act (Condominium Act) affecting homeowners or unit owners association management, liens for assessments, and providing for alternative dispute resolution. Makes additional changes to the Planned Community Act affecting declarant rights. Enacts new Article 4 to the Planned Community Act, requiring certain sellers to disclose to purchasers specified information on the lot and homeowners association, and makes conforming changes to the Condominium Act.
Association Management. Enacts new GS 47F-3-102.1 (planned communities) and new GS 47C-3-102.1 (condominiums) allowing an association’s executive board, in its discretion, to take enforcement action by imposing sanctions or commencing an action. Provides that the board does not have a duty to take enforcement action if it determines any of the following: (1) the association’s legal position does not justify action; (2) the covenant, restriction, or rule being enforced is or may be inconsistent with law; (3) the violation is not so material as to be objectionable to a reasonable person or to justify expending resources; or (4) it is not in the association’s best interest.
Repeals GS 47F-3-103(c) and GS 47C-3-103(c) (concerning budget ratification procedures) and replaces with new GS 47F-3-107.2 and new GS 47C-3-107.2, addressing budget ratification and special assessment procedures.

Specifies timeline and meeting procedures for ratification. Allows the board, at any time, to propose a special assessment provided the board follows the procedures for budget ratification. Upon a two-thirds vote by the board that a special assessment is necessary to respond to an emergency, authorizes the board to impose an emergency special assessment without following the budget ratification procedures, provided the funds are spent only for the purposes described in the vote. Requires prompt notice of the emergency special assessment to all owners.
Amends GS 47F-3-108 and GS 47C-3-108 to require that an association hold a meeting of owners annually at a time, date, and place stated in or fixed in accordance with the bylaws (previous law required a meeting at least once each year). Current law allows owners with 10% (or lower percentage stated in bylaws) of the association’s votes to call a special meeting. Proposed amendment also allows the requesting lot owners to notify all owners of the meeting if the association fails to do so within 30 days of the request. Deletes subsection (b), concerning speaking opportunities for owners at board meetings. Allows association and executive board meetings to be held by telephonic, video, or other conferencing process if specified conditions are met.

Liens for Assessments. Amends GS 47F-3-116 and GS 47C-3-116 to provide that any assessment levied against a lot or unit remaining unpaid for 90 days (was, 30 days) or longer will constitute a lien on that lot or unit when a claim of lien is properly filed. Requires the association to include an offer to accept payments in installments with the mailed notice of assessment amount due (previous law allowed the association to accept installments). Allows the association, acting through the executive board, to foreclose the claim of lien according to Article 2A of GS Chapter 45 (power of sale foreclosure) if the assessment remains unpaid for 90 or more days and the owner failed to accept or comply with the payment installment plan. Prohibits the association from foreclosing the claim of lien if the executive board does not vote to commence the foreclosure proceeding. Adds new subsection (b1), specifying that the association must apply any payments in the following priority: (1) unpaid assessments; (2) late charges associated with the assessment; (3) attorneys’ fees and other collection charges; and (4) fees, fines, interest, and associated late fees. Allows an association to file a claim of lien when a scheduled payment remains unpaid for 30 days or longer, if an owner accepts a proposed installment plan and fails to comply with its terms. Requires the installment plan to consist of equal periodic payments made over a reasonable time based on the outstanding balance and states that the accumulation of late charges must cease when the owner agrees to pay according to an installment plan.
Association Records. Amends GS 47F-3-118 and GS 47C-3-118, listing specific records that the association must retain (expands current record-keeping requirements).

Allows a declarant to submit a dispute to ADR only after the period of declarant control ends. Requires that parties electing ADR use only mediators certified by the Dispute Resolution Commission.
Declarant Control and Transfer of Special Declarant Rights. Adds definitions for affiliate of a declarant and dispose or disposition under the Planned Community Act. Amends GS 47F-3-103 to mandate that a period of declarant control terminates at the earlier of: (1) 120 days after conveyance of 75% of the lots to lot owners other than the declarant, (2) two years after all declarants have ceased to offer lots for sale in the ordinary course of business, or (3) two years after any development right to add new lots was last exercised. Permits a declarant to voluntarily surrender the right to appoint and remove officers and executive board members before the declarant control period terminates, but allows the declarant to retain approval rights over certain actions of the association or executive board, as recorded, for the entire period. Enacts new subsection (d1) to limit the duration of declarant control, according to specified conveyance benchmarks.
Amends GS 47F-3-104 to detail a transferor declarant’s liability upon transfer of any special declarant right in various circumstances. Explains the process of special declarant rights transferred upon foreclosure or sale. Lists the liabilities and obligations of successors to special declarant rights.
Amends GS 47F-3-105 to clarify that (1) any management contract, employment contract, or lease of recreational parking areas or facilities; (2) any other contract or lease between the association and a declarant or an affiliate of a declarant; or (3) any contract or lease that is not bona fide or was unconscionable to the lot owners at the time of agreement, may be terminated without penalty, according to the specified procedure. Requires that this contract termination provision be included in each contract entered into by or on behalf of the association before the elected executive board takes office; absence of the contract provision will not affect the association’s rights.
Amends GS 47F-3-111 to make a declarant liable to the association for (1) all tort losses not covered by insurance and (2) all breach of contract losses when an action is brought against the association for a wrong that occurred during a period of declarant control, and the association gives the declarant reasonable notice of and an opportunity to defend against the action.
Disclosures to Purchasers. Enacts new Article 4 to GS Chapter 47F (Planned Community Act) to require that each seller of a lot in a planned community provide the purchaser a copy of the declaration before the earlier of either conveyance or transfer of right of possession. Also requires the seller to provide a disclosure certificate containing 16 enumerated items, including assessment amounts, restrictive covenants, and any unsatisfied judgments against the association. Lists the types of dispositions excepted from the disclosure certificate requirement and makes a conforming change to GS 47C-4-101. Allows a potential purchaser to void a purchase contract if the purchaser does not receive the disclosure certificate more than 5 days before contract execution by following the specified steps. Directs an association, within 10 days of the owner’s request, to supply the information necessary for inclusion in the disclosure certificate. Makes corresponding changes to the Condominium Act.
Directs the NC Real Estate Commission to revise the Residential Property Disclosure Statement (developed pursuant to GS 47E-4) to provide for disclosure of the existence of any homeowners association and any restrictive covenants affecting the real property, regardless of whether the covenants are currently violated.
The amendments to the Planned Community Act apply to all (1) planned communities containing more than 20 residential lots and created in NC on or after the date that the act becomes law and (2) planned communities containing more than 20 residential lots already in existence, but the act only applies to events and circumstances that occur on or after the date that the act becomes law and does not invalidate existing provisions of those planned communities.

S 110 (2011-2012) PERMIT TERMINAL GROINS. Filed Feb 23 2011, TO AUTHORIZE THE PERMITTING AND CONSTRUCTION OF TERMINAL GROINS AT INLETS UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS.

Amends GS 113A-115.1 (limitations on erosion control structures). Defines (1) estuarine shoreline as all shorelines that are not ocean shorelines that border water estuaries as defined in GS 113A-113(b)(2) and (2) terminal groin as a structure, generally perpendicular to the shoreline, that is constructed on the side of an inlet at the tip of an island to limit or control sediment passage into the inlet channel.
Current law prohibits, with exceptions, constructing a permanent erosion control structure in an ocean shoreline. Adds new subdivision (3) to GS 113A-115.1(b) to add terminal groins as permitted under proposed new subsection (f) of GS 113A-115.1 as an exception to this prohibition. Provides that any existing rule that prohibits permanent erosion control structures does not apply to terminal groins.
Specifies the permit application requirements necessary for the construction of a terminal groin that are needed in addition to the permit application requirements of Part 4 of Article 7 of GS Chapter 113A. Requires in new (f) that all of the following conditions be met in order for a terminal groin to be permitted under this section: (1) the permit applicant has complied with all of the specified permit application requirements, (2) the permit applicant has provided notice to any property owners and local governments identified in the required engineering design as potentially affected by the construction of the proposed terminal groin, and (3) the construction of the terminal groin must be accompanied by a concurrent beach project to prefill the groin. Provides limitations on the number of terminal groins that may be placed on each ocean shoreline immediately adjacent to an inlet and on the ocean shoreline of an inlet when the shoreline is immediately adjacent to a federally maintained navigation channel associated with a state port.
Directs the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) to amend the management program that DENR adopted under the federal Coastal Zone Management Act to ensure that the management program is consistent with GS 113A-115.1 as amended in this act. Requires DENR to get approval for the amended management plan from the U.S. Secretary of Commerce or the Secretary’s authorized designee no later than six months after the effective date of this act. Makes technical changes.

Eliminates a provision for the State Board to develop and implement a plan, pursuant to the content standards of GS 115C-12(9c), for high school end-of-course tests and specifies four end-of-course tests that are eliminated.

S 115 (2011-2012) COVERAGE FOR TREATMENT OF AUTISM DISORDERS. Filed Feb 23 2011, TO REQUIRE HEALTH BENEFIT PLANS, INCLUDING THE STATE HEALTH PLAN FOR TEACHERS AND STATE EMPLOYEES, TO PROVIDE COVERAGE FOR TREATMENT OF AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS.

Adds new GS 58-3-192 requiring health benefit plans, including the State Health Plan for Teachers and State Employees (State Plan), to provide coverage for autism spectrum disorders, subject to the same deductibles, co-payments and coinsurance terms that apply to other covered medical services under the health benefit plan.
Prohibits every health benefit plan, including the State Plan, from terminating coverage or refusing coverage to an individual solely because the individual is diagnosed with one of the autism spectrum disorders or has received treatment for autism spectrum disorders. Provides that there will be no limits on the number of visits an individual may make to an autism services provider. Prohibits denying coverage because the treatments are habilitative or educational in nature. Directs that coverage under these provisions must not be construed as limiting benefits that are otherwise available to an individual under a health benefit plan. Establishes a maximum annual benefit of $75,000 for behavioral therapy for autism spectrum disorders. Prohibits applying payments made by the insurer on behalf of the individual for any care, treatment, intervention, service, or item unrelated to autism spectrum disorders toward the maximum benefit. Provides that if an individual is receiving treatment for an autism spectrum disorder, with the exception of inpatient services, a health benefit plan has the right to request a review of the treatment no more than once every 12 months unless the individual’s licensed medical doctor or licensed psychologist agrees that a more frequent review is needed. Requires the insurer to pay any costs for the review. Includes applicable definitions in proposed GS 58-3-192.
Amends GS 135-45 to direct the Executive Administrator and Board of Trustees of the State Plan not to change the plan’s comprehensive health benefit coverage, co-payments, deductible, out-of-pocket expenditures, and lifetime maximum in effect on January 1, 2012, (was, July 1, 2009) that would result in a net increased cost to the State Plan or a reduction in benefits to plan members until the General Assembly directs that such changes be made. Makes conforming changes to GS 135-45 to synchronize its provisions with those of proposed GS 58-3-192.
Provides that the act becomes effective January 1, 2012, and applies to all health benefit plans that are delivered, issued for delivery, or renewed within North Carolina, or outside of the state if the health benefit plan is insuring North Carolina residents, on and after the effective date.

Current law directs the Secretary of Revenue to refund any excess to the taxpayer, if the earned income tax credit allowed under the statute exceeds the individual income tax imposed for the taxable year, reduced by the sum of all credits allowable. Effective for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2011.
