Fran McGovern will be a speaker at the Mastering Condominiums and Planned Real Estate Developments being held virtually on Wednesday, March 15, 2023, starting at 9:00 a.m.

Representing community associations requires an understanding of the challenges that condominiums and planned real estate developments create and of the community associations formed to respond to those challenges. Beginning with the development of these communities to the conduct of their affairs by the owners of homes and beyond, the attorneys and other professionals need to be aware of the wide range of issues and applicable areas of law.

The discussion in this program will span several aspects of association representation and give a foundation of the issues faced in this practice. Compliance with governing documents and the law, the adoption of rules and regulations, mandatory membership of owners in these associations, the authority of elected boards, the use of shared facilities and services, the compulsory payment of fees, and the handling of disputes are some of the concerns which underlie this practice.

On January 18, 2022, Governor Murphy signed Assembly Bill No. 3950 requiring employers to provide written notice to employees prior to the use of tracking devices in vehicles used by employees. This act goes into effect on April 18, 2022. Click here to see bill A3950

The requirement applies regardless of who owns the vehicle. The law defines a tracking device as an electronic or mechanical device that is “designed or intended to be used for the sole purpose of tracking the movement of a person, vehicle, or device.” For example, GPS monitoring devices used exclusively to track an employee’s location are covered. The law does not apply to devices used for the purpose of expense reimbursement (e.g., a device that tracks mileage).

The law covers employers that have one or more employees in New Jersey, except for employers that provide public transportation. Employers do not have to comply with this law to the extent that doing so would violate a federal regulation.

Action Item
If you currently use tracking devices, tell affected employees about your practice in writing by April 18. After that date, be sure to provide written notice to new hires or other employees who will begin driving tracked vehicles. In both cases, keep a copy of the notice so you can demonstrate compliance. If in doubt about whether you are using a tracking device as defined by the law, we recommend you contact your association’s counsel.
