The sponsor's argument

Why Luis R. Sepúlveda says this is needed

Too many condo boards do not provide sufficient transparency and disclo- sure of their records, fostering ill will among condo owners. This bill is an incentive for condominium management and their boards to be fully accountable so that condominium ownership will be profitable, manageable and stable.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
