Florida Community Association Manager Practice Exam

Does the Condominium Act specify anything about the retroactivity of the 2-year term limits?

1. Yes, it clearly states it

2. No, it remains unaddressed

3. Yes, it applies retroactively

4. Only applies to new directors

The correct answer is: No, it remains unaddressed

The correct answer indicates that the Condominium Act does not address the retroactivity of the 2-year term limits for directors. This means that, as per the Act, there is no stipulation or provision that would apply these term limits to any directors who served prior to the implementation of the relevant amendments. Because there is no clarity in the text of the Act itself regarding retroactive application, this absence suggests that the law is not intended to affect past terms served by directors before the law went into effect. Understanding this allows community association managers and board members to navigate governance without the concern that previous service periods will be included in determining eligibility under the newer term limits. This clarity is integral for ensuring directors can serve their community effectively without ambiguity regarding their service history and current eligibility.
