HB 2411 Summary

• Amends definitions of "declaration" in Arizona Revised Statutes section 33-440 to mean any instrument establishing restrictive covenants on real property development or use.

• Requires condominium and planned community boards to identify which closed meeting exception authorizes closure before entering a closed session.

• Prohibits boards from requiring advance notice of audiotaping or videotaping of open meetings, unless the board itself tapes meetings and makes unedited recordings available to members without restrictions.

• Eliminates proxy voting for condominiums and planned communities after declarant control ends; requires absentee ballots and in-person voting instead, with ballots valid for only one specified election.

• Clarifies that emergency board meetings may only address emergency matters, with minutes explaining the necessity; requires agenda availability to members and allows quorum participation via speakerphone with members able to hear all speakers.
