Common interest developments: associations.

Removed line-by-line numbering (line 1, line 2, etc.) that was used in the Senate amendment version to track changes, replacing it with clean statutory text formatting.

Removed amendment history headers (Amended in Senate August 4, 2026; Amended in Senate June 8, 2026; Amended in Assembly April 29, 2026) and the 'as amended' designation from the digest header.

Added standard enrolled bill language including 'This bill was received by the Governor this ___ day of ___, 2026' and Private Secretary of the Governor signature line.

Added passage dates: Passed the Assembly August 19, 2026 and Passed the Senate August 17, 2026, along with clerk certification lines.

Subdivision (i) of Section 5115 (electronic secret ballot provisions) was renumbered to subdivision (j), requiring updates to all internal cross-references.

The 90-day restriction on amending election operating rules before an election was repositioned from being paragraph (iii) under the delivery methods in subdivision (h)(4)(B) to a standalone item at the same structural level, clarifying its relationship to the surrounding provisions.

The exception in subdivision (g) regarding floor nominations was narrowed. It previously read 'Except as provided in subdivision (i)' (the entire electronic ballot provision). It now reads 'Except as provided in subparagraph (F) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (i), (j),' which specifically points only to the rule allowing associations to prohibit floor nominations when using electronic ballots, rather than carving out the whole electronic voting framework.

The reminder notice for board nomination deadlines must now be sent not less than 10 days before the deadline, narrowing the previous window of 7 to 30 days down to 10 to 30 days. This gives homeowners slightly more time to respond to the reminder and potentially submit nominations.

Fixed a duplicated reference in Section 5105(i)(3)(A) where 'pursuant to subparagraph (B),the (B), the' was corrected to 'pursuant to subparagraph (B), the'.

Removed redundant word 'electronically' from Section 5105(i)(8), changing 'a member voting electronically by electronic secret ballot' to 'a member voting by electronic secret ballot'.

The initial notice period for acclamation elections under Section 5103(b)(1) was reduced from at least 90 days before the nomination deadline to at least 30 days before the nomination deadline. This shortens the advance notice an association must give members before it can seat candidates by acclamation without a full ballot.

Section 5105(i)(3)(A) was cleaned up to fix a garbled sentence about electronic secret ballot notice timing. The original read 'The No later than 30 days before the election, and pursuant to subparagraph (B),the association shall deliver individual notice of the electronic secret ballot to each member 30 days before the election and who is electronically voting.' The amended version reads 'No later than 30 days before the election, and pursuant to subparagraph (B), the association shall deliver individual notice of the electronic secret ballot to each member who is electronically voting.'

Section 5105(i)(8) added the phrase 'by electronic secret ballot' after 'voting electronically' for clarification: 'a member voting electronically by electronic secret ballot pursuant to this subdivision shall be counted as a member in attendance at the meeting.'

In Section 5105(a)(1), the word 'communications' appears to have been accidentally duplicated ('from these communications, communications but may include'), likely a drafting error introduced during amendment.
