The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend current statutes regarding the voting requirements for amending homeowners' association declarations in Arizona. Under current law, amendments to a condominium association's declaration require a vote from at least 67% of unit owners, or a larger majority as specified in the declaration. The bill would change this requirement to an affirmative vote or written consent of at least three-fourths of the unit owners present at a meeting where a quorum is established. This change applies to both condominium and planned community associations, ensuring a more consistent voting threshold across different types of communities.

Additionally, the bill introduces definitions for "unbranded community" and "branded community," and clarifies that amendments can be made notwithstanding any provisions in the declaration or community documents. The voting requirement for planned community associations would also be updated to reflect the same three-fourths majority of owners or eligible voters present at a meeting. Overall, the bill aims to streamline the amendment process for homeowners' associations while ensuring that significant changes to community declarations are supported by a substantial majority of members.
