The resolution, titled the Association Meeting Flexibility Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025, addresses the urgent need to amend the Condominium Act of 1976 to allow condominium unit owners associations and cooperatives to conduct virtual meetings. It aims to clarify voting and quorum requirements for these remote meetings, ensuring that all associations can benefit from the flexibility of virtual gatherings. This need arises from the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has made virtual meetings a common practice for many organizations in the District of Columbia.

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 December 2024, it has not yet completed congressional review. Therefore, the Council of the District of Columbia has determined that emergency legislation is necessary to facilitate the continuation of virtual meeting capabilities for these associations, allowing the resolution to take effect immediately after a single reading.
