homeowners' association; virtual meetings; proxies

HB 2613 requires homeowners' associations in Arizona to hold all board and unit owner meetings openly to members, with specific rules for virtual participation and recording. It mandates 48-hour notice for board meetings after declarant control ends, allows members to speak during discussions, and permits audiotaping/videotaping of open sessions without board restrictions. The bill specifies that meetings may only close for limited reasons like legal advice, pending litigation, or personal member information. This directly affects HOAs, board members, and unit owners by increasing transparency and accessibility to association governance. The law updates existing open meeting rules to clarify virtual attendance options and member recording rights.
