relative to the authority to vote by proxy in a condominium association.

This bill updates the state's Condominium Act to formally establish the legal framework for unit owners to vote by proxy in condominium associations. It defines two types of proxies: directed proxies, where the owner specifies how their votes should be cast, and undirected proxies, which allow a designated holder to vote on their behalf without specific instructions. The law sets limits on how many proxies a single person can hold, such as capping it at 10 percent of votes in associations with more than 20 units, and requires the board to use standardized forms to verify and record these votes. Additionally, the bill mandates that the board retain all proxy documents for at least three years to ensure transparency and accountability during meetings.
