This part and parts 3-5 of this chapter apply to all condominiums created within this state after January 1, 2009. Sections 66-27-205 — 66-27-207; 66-27-303; 66-27-304; 66-27-402(a)(1)-(6) and (11)-(16); 66-27-411; 66-27-414(g); 66-27-415; 66-27-417; part 5 of this chapter; and § 66-27-203, to the extent necessary in construing any of the sections listed in this subsection (a), apply to all condominiums created in this state before January 1, 2009; but those sections apply only with respect to events and circumstances occurring after January 1, 2009, and, with the exception of § 66-27-414(g), do not invalidate or supersede existing provisions of the master deed, master lease, declaration, bylaws or plats of those condominiums existing on January 1, 2009. Part 1 of this chapter does not apply to condominiums created after January 1, 2009, and does not invalidate any amendment adopted after January 1, 2009, to the master deed, bylaws, or plats of any condominium created before January 1, 2009, if the amendment would be permitted by this part and parts 3-5 of this chapter. The amendment must be adopted in conformity with the procedures and requirements specified by those instruments and by part 1 of this chapter. If the amendment grants to any person any rights, powers, or privileges permitted by this part and parts 3-5 of this chapter, all correlative obligations, liabilities, and restrictions in this part and parts 3-5 of this chapter also apply to that person. Condominiums existing before January 1, 2009, may elect to be governed by this part and parts 3-5 of this chapter in their entirety by amending and restating their then existing master deed, bylaws, and plat or plats in a manner that satisfies the requirements of subsection (b) and any additional requirements applicable to a condominium created under this part and parts 3-5 of this chapter. Condominiums created before January 1, 2009, may elect to be governed by this part and parts 3-5 of this chapter by specifically electing to do so in their master deed, master lease, or declaration and by satisfying all requirements applicable to a condominium created under this part and parts 3-5 of this chapter. This part and parts 3-5 of this chapter do not apply to condominiums or units located outside this state. Acts 2008, ch. 766, § 1; 2009, ch. 215, § 1.
