Petition: Amend Georgia SB 406 to Ban HOA Industry Insiders from Complaint Review BoardGeorgia homeowners are fighting back against abusive HOAs, POAs, and COAs—but SB 406 risks letting the fox guard the henhouse. The "Georgia Property Owners’ Bill of Rights Act" (introduced Jan 2026) creates a State Board for Review of Complaints to investigate abuses like illegal fines, foreclosures, and rights violations. Right now, it fails to block the very profiteers homeowners complain about: CAI members, HOA attorneys, community managers, and vendor companies that earn from HOA contracts.The Problem Board members must just be homeowners—no ban on industry pros who defend HOAs in court, manage them for profit, or sell services via fines/disputes.These appointees could investigate complaints against their own clients/colleagues, skewing referrals to the AG or sheriff.Real cases (like 11Alive exposés) show attorneys/managers enabling HOA overreach—yet they could dominate this "watchdog" board.

Demand This Fix Add to §43-17A-5:
"No board member shall: (1) be employed by, own equity in, or receive compensation from any HOA/POA/COA attorney, management company, or vendor doing business with any property owners' association;

(2) be a member of CAI or similar industry groups; or

(3) have provided such services in the prior 5 years."This ensures impartiality, like ethics rules for other state boards.Why It Matters Protects 2M+ Georgia homeowners from biased "justice."Aligns with SB 406's goal: registration, oversight, due process.Stops profiteers from diluting reforms before committee votes.Sign now and share on Nextdoor/Facebook.
