In 2026, there were approximately 1,500 to 2,000 proposed bills across
the United States that could have affected community associations.
Whether these bills would have had a positive or negative impact,
community association governance, rules, and oversight are—and will
continue to be—under growing legislative scrutiny.
As the only management company in the industry with a full-time
government affairs staff, Associa walks the halls of Capitol Hill and
state capitols across the country to advocate for the issues, laws, and
legislation that affect our business, impact our services and clients,
and influence governmental regulations. John Krueger, vice president of
government affairs for Associa, outlines the legislative trends gaining
traction, the states where these bills have emerged, and what to expect in
the year ahead. Read on to learn more about them.
John Krueger has led Associa's government affairs advocacy
efforts across the U.S. for nearly 12 years. His professional
career spans more than 36 years serving in leadership roles in
government and public affairs working on Capitol Hill, in the
Texas Legislature, and as a contract consultant and lobbyist
for corporate and nonprofit entities. John currently chairs CAI's
Government and Public Affairs Committee and serves on the
