The proposed bill would amend current statutes regarding the recording and retention of meetings held by condominium unit owners' associations (COAs) and planned community associations (HOAs). Under the new provisions, if a board records a meeting that is open to members, it would be required to keep a copy of the recording for at least six months. Additionally, the board must make the unedited recording available to any member upon request, in compliance with existing statutory requirements for furnishing records.

Current law allows members to audiotape or videotape open meetings without prior notice, and the board may establish reasonable rules for such recordings. However, the bill specifically mandates that if the board itself records a meeting, it must retain that recording and provide access to members, thereby enhancing transparency and accountability in the governance of COAs and HOAs.
