A. There is hereby created the Common Interest Community Management Information Fund to be used in the discretion of the Board to promote the improvement and more efficient operation of common interest communities through research and education. The Fund shall consist of money paid into it pursuant to §§ 54.1-2349, 55-79.93:1, 55-504.1, and 55-516.1. The Fund shall be established on the books of the Comptroller, and any funds remaining in such Fund at the end of the biennium shall not revert to the general fund but, at the discretion of the Board, shall remain in the Fund or shall be transferred to the Common Interest Community Management Recovery Fund established pursuant to § 55-530.1. Interest earned on the Fund shall be credited to the Fund.
B. Following the close of any biennium, when the Common Interest Community Management Information Fund shows expenses allocated to it for the past biennium to be more than 10 percent greater or less than moneys collected on behalf of the Board, the Board shall revise the fees levied by it for placement into the Fund so that the fees are sufficient but not excessive to cover expenses. A fee established pursuant to § 55-79.93:1, 55-504.1, or 55-516.1 shall not exceed $25 unless such fee is based on the number of units or lots in the association.
