Sirs:

     Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the House of Representatives to the amendments proposed by the Senate in H.B. No. 61, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CONDOMINIUMS,"

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.

     The purpose of this measure is to clarify the allocation of payments made by or on behalf of a condominium unit owner and which the owner has paid in excess of any common expenses owed.

     Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by specifying that after outstanding common expenses have been paid, excess payments may be applied to other miscellaneous charges owed to the association, including assessed charges to the unit such as ground lease rent, utility sub-metering, storage lockers, parking stalls, boat slips, insurance deductibles, and cable.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 61, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 61, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, C.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
