The bill amends the Arizona Revised Statutes regarding condominiums and planned communities. It modifies the requirements for calling special meetings to remove board members, setting the petition threshold at 25% of eligible voters or 100 votes for associations with 1,000 or fewer members, and 10% or 1,000 votes for larger associations. It also limits recall votes against board members to once per term. The bill expands open meeting rules to include more committee meetings, allows remote participation, and mandates that certain information be discussed openly. Closed sessions are permitted under certain conditions, and draft minutes must be available within ten business days. Any board action taken in violation of open meeting laws is declared null and void.

Additionally, the bill broadens the scope of what constitutes an informal meeting that must adhere to open meeting laws, including any official board communications, while exempting social gatherings, informal member discussions, training, and agenda planning. It reinforces the policy that all meetings should be conducted openly with proper notice and agendas, and it updates the subsection references for special meeting notices. The bill emphasizes transparency and accountability in the governance of condominiums and planned communities.
