Registry and Division Act
Common Interest Community Registry and Oversight Division Act

VERIFY
Legislative tracker
10 model bills drafted. 0 introduced. 0 enacted. 0 enforced. Those last three numbers are the point of the page.
Step 3 of the accountability loop. A bill that passes but goes unenforced is not reform, and a portfolio of drafts nobody introduced is not advocacy. This page states where each bill actually is, in a vocabulary that does not let a draft flatter itself.
Stages
- Drafted Statutory language exists and its citations have been verified. No sponsor. 10
- Circulated Put in front of a member or staffer who could carry it. 0
- Introduced Carries a bill number. 0
- In committee Referred. Most bills stop here — see the ledger below. 0
- Passed Through both chambers. 0
- Enacted Signed. 0
- Enforced An agency is actually applying it. This is the only stage that counts. 0
Every bill below sits at Drafted. None has a sponsor, none has a number, and TASFGA’s advocacy arm is not yet formed. Saying so is the whole discipline: the day one of these moves, this page has to be able to show that it moved — which it cannot do if everything already claims to be moving.
The model-bill portfolio
Ten bills, drafted against documented gaps, with citations verified on the dates shown. Each links to its full text in the Focus 1 repository, where the statutory language and the issues it addresses are published in full.
Drafted v1.0
Owner Standing Act
Owner Standing and Enforcement Act
The keystone. Gives an owner standing to enforce the governing documents, because a duty no one can sue on is not a duty.
Drafted v1.0
Ninety-Day Resolution Act
Common Interest Community Ombudsperson and Expedited Resolution Act
An ombudsperson with a ninety-day resolution clock — the office nine consecutive sessions have failed to create.
Drafted v1.0

Competitive bidding and conflict disclosure on association contracts. Pairs with review practice 4.
Drafted v1.0
Inspector Independence Act
Building Safety Integrity Act
Separates the engineer who finds the defect from the firm paid to repair it.

Condominium and Cooperative Resident Disclosure Act
The disclosure floor an owner is entitled to annually, as a city ordinance rather than a hope.
Drafted v2.0
Owner Funds Protection Act
Condominium and Cooperative Fraud Prevention and Recovery Act
Recovery machinery for owner funds taken through governance failure, rather than a private civil action nobody can afford.
Drafted v2.0
Owner Opportunity to Purchase Act
Sponsor Unit Owner Opportunity to Purchase Act
A right of first offer on sponsor units, so a block sale is not the first an owner hears of it.
Drafted v1.0
Owner Protections Act
Everyday Owner Protections Act
The accumulated small extractions — fees, charges, and procedural traps — addressed as one bill.
Drafted v2.0
Affordability Cliff Disclosure Act
Mixed-Income 421-a Affordability Disclosure Act
Disclosure of the date a 421-a affordability period ends, before someone buys into its expiry.
The ombudsman ledger — nine sessions, no floor vote
A bill to create a New York co-op/condo ombudsman office has been introduced in nine consecutive sessions since 2009. Every version died in committee; not one received a floor vote. This is the evidence behind the “9” on the home page, published so the figure can be checked rather than taken on trust.

What else is tracked, and where
- Failed-reform ledger — reforms that died and why, with named sponsors and causes of death: the Legislative Graveyard.
- Outreach ledger — every office briefed, what was sent, and what came back, including the silences: who we have briefed. Field outreach is published there rather than duplicated here.
- Agency rulemaking — promises made, rules proposed, rules finalised, rules actually applied. Not yet built; it needs the registry the first bill would create.
- Elected-official scorecards — vote records against stated positions. Planned, and honestly some way off: a scorecard requires votes, and none of these bills has reached one.
Every bill above is a draft published for criticism, not a position TASFGA is lobbying for — the advocacy arm that would do that is not yet formed. If a provision is wrong, badly drafted, or already covered by existing law, that is worth knowing before it reaches a sponsor: contact@tasfga.com.

If a bill gets a sponsor, a number, or a hearing, that goes out. So does a new draft. Nothing else.
