With Labor Day weekend behind us, Congress is reconvening in Washington D.C., for session. Eight state legislatures are back in their respective state Capitols to complete their 2023 legislative sessions and five states are preparing for the upcoming 2023 state election cycles in November. CAI Advocacy reflects on 2023 community association legislative trends to date and predicts 2024 industry trends.
According to FiscalNote, in the 2023 state legislative sessions, the combined statehouses across the United States introduced more than 132,600 bills and enacted over 30,800 of them. The states introduced 44% more bills in 2023 than in 2022. This year, CAI Advocacy tracked more than 2,100 bills impacting the community association housing model across all 50 state legislatures.
46 states convene for their respective state legislative sessions beginning in January of 2024. CAI’s government and public affairs team tracks legislation throughout the calendar year at the federal, state, and local level, analyzing community association legislative and policy industry trends impacting the industry across the United States to properly prepare resources for CAI’s legislative action committees.
