HOA Board of DirectorsWhy did Cedarhurst Association’s governing documents flag 3 potential compliance issues, and what should the Board do?
Older HOA Declarations, Bylaws, and Operating Rules frequently contain provisions superseded by subsequent amendments to Connecticut Common Interest Ownership Act — CIOA (Conn. Gen.

The 3 flagged clauses highlight areas where Cedarhurst Association’s Board of Directors and association counsel can proactively update policies, avoid unenforceable fine or enforcement disputes, and fulfill board fiduciary duties.
