Association Meeting Flexibility Congressional Review Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025
This resolution declares an emergency to maintain virtual meeting flexibility for condominium, cooperative, and limited equity cooperative associations in Washington, D.C., until permanent legislation takes effect. It directly affects these property associations by allowing them to hold meetings remotely and vote electronically without amending their bylaws - continuing practices established during the pandemic. The resolution addresses a gap between the expiration of temporary emergency rules (May 14, 2025) and the effective date of permanent legislation (May 22, 2025). It does not create new permanent rules but ensures continuity of virtual meeting access during the transition period.
