The resolution declares an emergency regarding the need to amend the Condominium Act of 1976 to allow condominium unit owners associations to conduct virtual meetings and to clarify voting and quorum requirements for these meetings. It also seeks to amend the District of Columbia Official Code to permit cooperatives and limited equity cooperatives to hold remote meetings. This action is prompted by the ongoing reliance on virtual meetings since the COVID-19 pandemic, which has become a standard practice for many residents and organizations in the District.

The resolution highlights that previous temporary measures allowing virtual meetings for condominium and cooperative associations are set to expire on March 1, 2025. Although a permanent measure was passed in January 2025, it has not yet completed congressional review. Therefore, the Council has determined that emergency legislation is necessary to ensure that associations can continue to benefit from virtual meeting capabilities without interruption. The resolution will take effect immediately upon adoption.
