S 900 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to electronic meetings and voting in condominiums

This bill allows condominium associations in Massachusetts to hold meetings and conduct votes using electronic methods like video calls, email, or online platforms, even if their current rules forbid it. It permits governing bodies to approve meeting minutes and vote on actions through these digital channels, provided all participants can hear and interact with one another. The legislation also enables unit owners to vote on issues via mail-in ballots or electronic means and allows them to submit written consents digitally. Additionally, the bill requires associations that choose to hold virtual meetings to notify owners and provide the necessary information for participation, ensuring everyone can read, hear, and ask questions during the process.
