In a groundbreaking move, Senator Ileana García has spearheaded efforts to address misconduct within community associations in Florida. Recognizing the injustices and widespread nature of the issue across the state, Senator Ileana García tirelessly advocated for change and engaged with Tallahassee leaders to bring much-needed reforms.
Working closely with Senate President Kathleen Passidomo, senate leadership, and the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR), Senator García is awaiting Governor DeSantis to successfully secure $350,000 from the state budget for the Cuban American Bar Association (CABA) to provide legal aid to the most vulnerable individuals affected by misconduct in community associations. Additionally, half a million dollars was allocated to the office of the prosecutor Katherine Fernández Rundle to support ongoing investigations by the Economic Crime Unit.
“Community associations play a vital role in Florida, and we must hold board members and administrators accountable for their actions,” said Senator García. “By addressing misconduct head-on and providing support to those in need, we are working towards a fairer and more transparent system for all residents.”
The efforts led by Senator Ileana García mark a significant step towards ensuring greater accountability and integrity within community associations across Florida. The allocation of funds to support legal aid and investigations demonstrates a commitment to upholding justice and protecting the rights of residents in these communities.
