This bill proposes amendments to sections 33-1227 and 33-1817 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which govern the amendment processes for declarations in condominiums and planned communities. The current law allows amendments to be made by a vote of at least sixty-seven percent of unit owners, with specific exceptions. The bill introduces new provisions that enable amendments to be made if at least ninety-five percent of the units in a condominium or properties in a planned community have been sold to non-declarant individuals. It outlines a process for calling meetings, providing notice, and recording amendments, which includes a requirement for a majority vote of those present at the meeting.

Additionally, the bill makes several changes to the language and structure of the existing statutes. It replaces certain phrases for clarity, such as changing "the adoption of" to "adopting," and it modifies the requirements for notice and voting procedures. The bill also clarifies the roles of the board of directors and unit owners in the amendment process, ensuring that the amended declarations are recorded promptly. Overall, the proposed changes aim to streamline the amendment process while maintaining necessary protections for unit owners and the declarant.
