The resolution, titled the Association Meeting Flexibility Congressional Review Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025, addresses the urgent need to amend the Condominium Act of 1976 and related sections of the District of Columbia Official Code to allow condominium unit owners associations and cooperatives to conduct virtual meetings. This change is prompted by the ongoing need for flexibility in meeting formats, which has become increasingly important since the COVID-19 pandemic. The resolution highlights that the Council has previously granted temporary measures to facilitate virtual meetings and that a permanent measure was passed in December 2024, which is set to become law in May 2025.

The resolution emphasizes the necessity of adopting this emergency legislation to prevent any gaps in the law regarding virtual meeting capabilities for associations, as the current emergency bill is set to expire on May 14, 2025. By declaring this an emergency, the Council aims to ensure that all relevant associations can continue to benefit from the ability to hold remote meetings without the need for extensive bylaw amendments. The resolution is intended to take effect immediately upon adoption.
