What does this bill do?
Changes the law so the definition of a condominium (unit owners') association now includes associations organized under chapter 421J of Hawaii law. Homeowners' associations created under chapter 421J will be treated the same as condominium unit-owner associations for purposes of statutes that use that definition.
