Current Status: Chaptered
FindHOALaw Quick Summary:
Existing law requires the election of directors to serve on the board of directors of the association to be held by secret ballot, and requires an association to adopt rules that specify the procedures for nomination of candidates consistent with the governing documents. The act also authorizes those rules to provide for the nomination of candidates from the floor of membership meetings or nomination by any other manner.
This bill would require, when the number of director nominees at the close of the nomination period is not more than the number of vacant director positions on the board, that the director nominees be considered elected by acclamation, subject to board’s satisfaction of specified notice requirements. This bill is limited to association with 6,000 or more units.
