Summary: SB 23 provides a uniform legislative framework for Louisiana homeowners and
community associations, ensuring harmony and prosperity for all parties involved. Much of the language
of SB 23, is taken from the Uniform Common Interest Ownership Act (UCIOA), which 9 states have fully
adopted. UCIOA is a basic statute developed by the Uniform Law Commission, for creating, managing,
and terminating condominium planned community, and real estate cooperatives. By streamlining
governance processes, enhancing transparency, and modernizing communication practices, SB 23
ensures equitable and efficient community living environments. This legislation thus supports the
continued growth and sustainability of community associations, reinforcing their role in providing
diverse housing options and fostering vibrant lifestyles.
