Yard Sign Statute In New JerseyCase Law: Reversing a February 2006 appeals court decision, the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled unanimously today that the Twin Rivers Community Association did not violate the state's constitutional guarantees of free expression by placing "reasonable" restrictions on residents posting yard signs, using the community room and having access to the association's newsletter. The landmark ruling in Committee for a Better Twin Rivers v. Twin Rivers Homeowners' Association affirms the right of New Jersey homeowners to govern their own communities and properties as private organizations. The court said the state should not substitute its judgment for the reasonable rules adopted by the homeowners in community associations and confirms that associations are businesses and not governments. Supreme Court Opinion. *********************************************************** Many homeowners associations are turning to trunk-or-treating as an alternative to traditional door-to-door trick-or-treating. Trunk-or-treating is becoming a widely popular alternative to walking from house to house. The practice is most commonly found in Southern U.S. states, where neighbors use a church or community parking lot and decorate car trunks to welcome trick-or-treaters. |

As part of our commitment to transparency and compliance, we want to inform you about the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA). The CTA requires certain businesses to report their beneficial ownership information to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). This law is designed to combat illicit activities such as money laundering and to enhance financial transparency. If your business is subject to the CTA, it's crucial to understand the reporting requirements and deadlines to avoid penalties. We encourage you to consult with your legal or compliance team to ensure your business is fully compliant with this new regulation. For more information, click here to listen to a message from CAI President Tom Skiba. You may also visit the FinCEN website or contact us for guidance. Your proactive steps toward compliance will help protect your business and contribute to a more transparent corporate environment. |
