homeowners' associations; records requests

HB 2278 requires Arizona homeowners' associations (HOAs) to make specific financial and operational records available to members upon request. It mandates that HOAs provide records like budgets, assessments, meeting minutes, contracts, and insurance policies within 10 business days, with a $0.15 per page fee for copies. The bill prohibits HOAs from charging for access to records and restricts disclosure of personal member information, attorney communications, or pending litigation. This directly affects HOA members seeking transparency and HOAs responsible for complying with these access rules.
