The Association Meeting Flexibility Emergency Amendment Act of 2025 amends the Condominium Act of 1976 to allow condominium unit owners associations to conduct virtual meetings, clarifying voting and quorum requirements for these meetings. Specifically, it introduces a new subsection that permits meetings to be held via telephone or video conference, ensuring that all participants can hear and be heard. Additionally, it mandates that notices for such meetings include access instructions and allows the executive board to set deadlines for ballot submissions, enabling electronic voting up to seven days before the meeting.
The bill also amends the District of Columbia Official Code regarding cooperatives and limited equity cooperatives, allowing them to conduct remote meetings regardless of their articles or bylaws. It modifies several sections to streamline the language related to member participation in these meetings. The changes aim to enhance flexibility and accessibility for unit owners and members, particularly in light of the increasing reliance on virtual communication methods. The act is set to take effect upon approval by the Mayor and will remain in effect for 90 days.
