Summary


The Condominium Act (Chapter 718, Florida Statutes) and the Cooperative Act (Chapter 719, Florida Statutes) each contain provisions for mediation of certain disputes. The Legislature gave the Division of Florida Land Sales, Condominiums and Mobile Homes authority to adopt rules specifying additional factors for certification of mediators for condominium disputes under paragraph 718.501(1)(l), Florida Statutes, and for cooperative disputes under paragraph 719.501(1)(n), Florida Statutes. The proposed amendments to these rules would correct the reference to the applicable section of Chapter 718, Florida Statutes, and add the appropriate reference to Chapter 719, Florida Statutes to make the same provisions applicable to mediation of cooperative disputes.
