Homeowners Associations - Reserve Funding, Meeting Notices, Voting, and Records
HB 1600 requires Maryland homeowners associations with 100 or more lots to post key documents - including declarations, bylaws, meeting minutes, and financial records - on their website or online portal within 30 days. It allows HOAs to secure loans for reserve funding, mandates electronic meeting notices for members, and requires meetings to permit voting via electronic transmission under certain circumstances. The bill ensures lot owners can access financial records and meeting minutes within 21 days (for recent records) or 45 days (for older records) of a written request, while exempting confidential information like medical or personnel records.
