The proposed bill would amend current statutes regarding the recording and availability of meetings held by condominium unit owners' associations (COAs) and planned community associations (HOAs). Under the current law, all meetings must be open to members, and while members can audiotape or videotape the meetings, there are no specific requirements for how long recordings must be retained. The bill introduces new requirements that, if a board records a meeting that is open to members, it must keep a copy of the recording for at least six months and make the unedited recording available to any member upon request.

This update aims to enhance transparency and accountability within COAs and HOAs by ensuring that members have access to recordings of meetings for a specified duration. The bill does not alter the existing provisions that allow members to attend and speak at meetings or the rules governing the recording of open portions of meetings, but it adds a clear obligation for boards to maintain and provide access to their recordings.
