Honorable Norman Mizuguchi

Sir:

     Your Committee on Government Operations and Housing, to
which was referred S.B. No. 285, entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CONDOMINIUM PROPERTY
     REGIMES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this short form bill is to effectuate the
purpose of this Act.

     The purpose of this measure, as amended, is to clarify the
powers of the boards of directors of associations of apartment
owners to enter into purchases agreements with lessors in order
to facilitate and encourage voluntary lease-to-fee conversions of
condominium projects.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Government Operations and Housing that is attached
to this report, your Committee is in accord with the action to
report out S.B. No. 285, as amended herein, and recommends that
it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B.
No. 285, S.D. 1, and be recommitted to the Committee on
Government Operations and Housing for further consideration.
