HB 2128 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session

homeowners' associations; condominiums; actions; meetings

HB 2128 modifies Arizona laws governing homeowners' associations (HOAs) and condominium boards. It allows boards to take official actions through written approval (signed electronically) by all directors instead of holding meetings, effective when the last director signs. The bill also strengthens member access to meetings by requiring most board and owner meetings to be open to residents, with limited exceptions for legal advice, personal information, or pending litigation. These changes directly affect all HOAs and condominium associations in Arizona.

MODERATE
This bill updates Arizona laws governing homeowners' associations and condominiums to modernize meeting procedures and increase transparency. The primary changes include clarifying rules for taking action without a physical meeting, expanding recording rights for attendees, and establishing stricter notice and agenda requirements for board meetings after the initial construction phase ends.
Scope change
The bill clarifies that specific open meeting rules apply to entities only after the 'period of declarant control' ends, distinguishing between the initial development phase and the long-term management phase.
REQUIREMENT

Added a new requirement that board meeting agendas must be provided to members in advance, detailing specific items like proposed amendments, assessment changes, and officer removals.

Established a 48-hour notice requirement for board meetings held after the development phase, allowing notice via newsletter or conspicuous posting instead of just mail.

Clarified that informal board gatherings, such as workshops, must still follow open meeting rules and cannot be used to bypass transparency requirements.

Authorized emergency board meetings to be held via telephone conference, provided a speakerphone allows all parties to hear each other clearly.

DEFINITION

Refined the scope of closed meetings to explicitly include discussions about employee job performance and compensation, ensuring these topics remain private while other business stays open.
