Boards sometimes discourage owners from documenting what happens in meetings. This bill lets members record open HOA meetings and governs those recordings — a transparency tool so owners have a record of what the board actually said and did.
In short: Lets members record open HOA meetings and governs meeting recordings.
Signed into law (Ch. 13) Pro-homeowner
Provides requirements for a condominium unit owners' association and a planned community association (homeowner's association) board of directors relating to recordings of an open meeting.
For homeowners: Pro-homeowner: it requires a board that records an open meeting to keep the unedited recording at least six months and furnish it on request, giving owners a verifiable record for accountability. The limit is that it only bites when the board chooses to record. Now law (Ch. 13).
