This bill strengthens open-meeting requirements for planned-community boards, pushing more board business into meetings owners can attend and observe.
In short: Strengthens open-meeting requirements for planned-community boards.
Signed into law (Ch. 222) Pro-homeowner
Specifies that any portion of a meeting of an association may be closed only if that closed portion of the meeting is limited to specified considerations without action.
For homeowners: Pro-homeowner: it limits closed meeting portions to specified considerations and bars taking any action in closed session, curbing use of executive session to make decisions out of owners' view. That directly reinforces open-meeting accountability. Signed into law (Ch. 222).
