Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.

Late owners lose use; manager can rent

If you are behind on assessments, the manager can block your use and reservations after mailing a notice at least 30 days after the due date. Use stays blocked until you pay or prove the debt is wrong. The manager may also rent your week after giving a further notice and waiting at least 10 days. Net rent is applied to your debt, and you still owe any shortfall.

New timeshare trustee foreclosure with safeguards

Beginning December 1, 2025, managers can use a new nonjudicial “timeshare trustee foreclosure” to collect unpaid assessments on liens filed on or after that date. Before filing a lien, they must mail a 15‑day notice. After at least six months from the due date, they can file a certificate; once docketed, it becomes a judgment at 8% yearly interest. At least 30 days before docketing, they must mail notice; you can object within 30 days and force a court foreclosure instead. If not stopped, a neutral trustee may auction the timeshare between 30 days and one year after indexing, after a 30‑day sale notice. Sale costs and a $250 administrative charge plus mailing and publication costs are added to the debt. Sale money pays expenses first, then the lien, then junior claims; any surplus goes to the owner or the court to sort claims. When the trustee issues a certificate of sale, redemption ends and you are released from any deficiency; the deed can record after 10 days if no injunction. Buyers for value get strong deed protections and may re‑foreclose to fix errors. Managers may combine similar cases in the same project, but liens made up only of fines or only of certain fees must go to court. A timeshare assessment lien starts on the due date and expires five years after filing unless foreclosure starts. Foreclosures begun before March 1, 2026, remain valid unless challenged by March 1, 2026, or within one year after the sale, whichever is later.

Paternity and inheritance for unmarried families

Starting December 1, 2025, when the mother was unmarried from conception through birth, the father’s name goes on the birth certificate only if both parents sign a sworn paternity affidavit. The affidavit includes the mother’s consent, the father’s sworn statement, and both parents’ Social Security numbers; the State Registrar provides the form. For deaths on or after December 1, 2025, a child born out of wedlock can inherit if paternity was finally adjudicated or properly acknowledged in writing while both were alive.
