homeowners' associations; virtual meetings; proxies

HB 2279 allows Arizona homeowners' associations to hold board and unit owner meetings virtually or via telephone conference, replacing in-person requirements. It mandates that associations provide at least 48 hours' notice and an agenda for board meetings after the end of declarant control, with emergency meetings permitted without full notice if necessary. The bill specifies that meetings may only be closed for limited reasons - such as legal advice, personal health information, or pending litigation - and requires boards to state the applicable exception when closing a meeting. These changes aim to increase meeting accessibility for homeowners while maintaining transparency and member participation rights.
