relative to meetings of condominium boards and committees.
This bill updates rules for condominium board meetings in New Hampshire to clarify what counts as a formal meeting and ensure greater transparency. It explicitly states that gathering to compare vendor proposals does not constitute a meeting, but it prohibits boards from using social gatherings to bypass open meeting laws. The legislation requires boards to hold open regular meetings at least once every quarter where owners can comment, mandates that meeting notices be sent at least 10 days in advance, and ensures that materials distributed to the board are also made available to owners. Additionally, the law exempts self-managed communities from certain requirements and does not apply to small condominiums or committees that cannot spend funds or sign contracts.
