The proposed bill would amend sections 33-1248 and 33-1804 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically updating the regulations surrounding open meetings for boards of directors in condominiums and planned communities. Under current law, any quorum of the board that meets to discuss association business must comply with open meeting and notice provisions, regardless of whether any votes or actions are taken during that meeting. The bill introduces new language that clarifies this requirement by stating that the open meeting provisions apply only if the board votes or takes action.

Additionally, the bill includes a new provision that exempts casual discussions of association issues in informal gatherings from the open meeting and notice requirements, even if a quorum of the board is present. This exemption applies as long as the directors are acting in their individual capacities as members of the association and not as directors. This change aims to provide more flexibility for board members to engage in informal discussions without the constraints of formal meeting regulations.
