Would authorize a board meeting or a meeting of the members to be conducted entirely by teleconference.

FindHOALaw Quick Summary:
The Davis-Stirling Common Interest Development Act governs the management and operation of common interest developments. It defines a board meeting as a congregation or a teleconference and requires, among other things, a board meeting held by teleconference to identify at least one physical location so that members of the association may attend. Existing law also establishes alternative teleconferencing procedures for a board meeting or a meeting of the members if gathering in person is unsafe or impossible because the common interest development is in an area affected by a federal, state, or local emergency.
This bill would add Civil Code Section 4926 to authorize a board meeting or a meeting of the members to be conducted entirely by teleconference if specified conditions are satisfied. These conditions would include, among others, a requirement that the notice for the meeting provide clear instructions on how to participate by teleconference and would require each director and member to have the same ability to participate that would exist if the meeting were held in person. The bill would exempt from these teleconference provisions a meeting at which ballots are counted and tabulated pursuant to Civil Code Section 5120.
