10    the sum total of the shares of the common expenses fail to
11    equal 100%, or if it appears that more than 100% of the
12    common elements or common expenses have been distributed,
13    the error may be corrected by operation of law by filing an
14    amendment to the declaration, approved by vote of
15    two-thirds of the members of the board of directors or a
16    majority vote of the unit owners at a meeting called for
17    that purpose, which proportionately adjusts all percentage
18    interests so that the total is equal to 100%, unless the
19    declaration specifically provides for a different
20    procedure or different percentage vote by the owners of the
21    units and the owners of mortgages thereon affected by
22    modification being made in the undivided interest in the
23    common areas, the number of votes in the unit owners
24    association or the liability for common expenses
25    appertaining to the unit.

HB2721- 19 -LRB101 06795 LNS 51822 b

1    the declaration or other instrument is corrected by vote of
2    two-thirds of the members of the board of directors
3    pursuant to the authority established in subdivisions
4    (h)(1) or (h)(2) of this Section, the board, upon written
5    petition by unit owners with 20% of the votes of the
6    association or resolutions adopted by the board of managers
7    or board of directors of the condominium and common
8    interest community associations which select 20% of the
9    members of the board of directors of the master
10    association, whichever is applicable, received within 30
11    days of the board action, shall call a meeting of the unit
12    owners or the boards of the condominium and common interest
13    community associations which select members of the board of
14    directors of the master association within 30 days of the
15    filing of the petition or receipt of the condominium and
16    common interest community association resolution to
17    consider the board action. Unless a majority of the votes
18    of the unit owners of the association are cast at the
19    meeting to reject the action, or board of managers or board
20    of directors of condominium and common interest community
21    associations which select over 50% of the members of the
22    board of the master association adopt resolutions prior to
23    the meeting rejecting the action of the board of directors
24    of the master association, it is ratified whether or not a
25    quorum is present.
26        (4) The procedures for amendments set forth in this

 

 

HB2721- 20 -LRB101 06795 LNS 51822 b

1    subsection (h) cannot be used if such an amendment would
2    materially or adversely affect property rights of the unit
3    owners unless the affected unit owners consent in writing.
4    This Section does not restrict the powers of the
5    association to otherwise amend the declaration, bylaws, or
6    other condominium instruments, but authorizes a simple
7    process of amendment requiring a lesser vote for the
8    purpose of correcting defects, errors, or omissions when
9    the property rights of the unit owners are not materially
10    or adversely affected.
11        (5) If there is an omission or error in the declaration
12    or other instruments that may not be corrected by an
13    amendment procedure set forth in subdivision (h)(1) or
14    (h)(2) of this Section, then the circuit court in the
15    county in which the master association is located shall
16    have jurisdiction to hear a petition of one or more of the
17    unit owners thereon or of the association, to correct the
18    error or omission, and the action may be a class action.
19    The court may require that one or more methods of
20    correcting the error or omission be submitted to the unit
21    owners to determine the most acceptable correction. All
22    unit owners in the association must be joined as parties to
23    the action. Service of process on owners may be by
24    publication, but the plaintiff shall furnish all unit
25    owners not personally served with process with copies of
26    the petition and final judgment of the court by certified

3        (6) Nothing contained in this Section shall be
4    construed to invalidate any provision of a declaration
5    authorizing the developer to amend an instrument prior to
6    the latest date on which the initial membership meeting of
7    the unit owners must be held, whether or not it has
8    actually been held, to bring the instrument into compliance
9    with the legal requirements of the Federal National
10    Mortgage Association, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage
11    Corporation, the Federal Housing Administration, the
12    United States Veterans Administration or their respective
13    successors and assigns.
14    (i) The provisions of subsections (c) through (h) are
15applicable to all declarations, other condominium instruments,
16and other duly recorded covenants establishing the powers and
17duties of the master association recorded under this Act. Any
18portion of a declaration, other condominium instrument, or
19other duly recorded covenant establishing the powers and duties
20of a master association which contains provisions contrary to
21the provisions of subsection (c) through (h) shall be void as
22against public policy and ineffective. Any declaration, other
23condominium instrument, or other duly recorded covenant
24establishing the powers and duties of the master association
25which fails to contain the provisions required by subsections
26(c) through (h) shall be deemed to incorporate such provisions
