Yes. See FS 720.305(2)(b) for non-condo HOAs. See FS 718.303(3)(b) for condos.

Is this a condo, subject to FS 718? Or a non-condo, subject to FS 720? Or something else?

Here's another article that provides more information - https://www.fcapgroup.com/flcaj/flcaj-articles/fining-procedures/#:~:text=Board%20of%20directors%20must%20create,of%20the%20board%20of%20directors.

Interesting that Florida mandates this - it looks a lot like a rules enforcement committee to me, and many associations already have them.

We call it our fining committee. A fine is voted on by the board at a noticed meeting. Owner has been given notice that the board is considering the fine at that meetng. If the fine is approved, then a certified letter goes to the owner with the date and time of fining committee meeting to impose the fine, which has to be at least 14 days from the date of the board meeting. The only thing the fining committee can do is approve or disapprove the fine.

Note that you can suspend access to the amenities without this process. You don't even need to send notice to the owners to do this. The board can just vote to suspend the use of the amenities if the owner is over 90 days delinquent in paying on their account. You can't stop them from entering a gate or driving on the roads, but you can keep them from any any other amenities.
