Bill > HB1311

This bill modifies the standard proxy form for condominium associations in Hawaii by removing two existing voting options: giving a proxy vote to the entire board of directors as a whole or to the directors present at an association meeting. Under the revised law, proxy forms will now only allow owners to indicate their proxy is given either for quorum purposes only or to a specifically named individual. If a proxy form is returned with both or no boxes checked, it will be counted for quorum purposes only. The bill also maintains the existing provision that allows owners to request a copy of the annual audit report through the proxy form. The changes aim to provide more clarity and specificity in proxy voting for condominium associations, ensuring that proxy votes are more directly tied to individual representatives rather than being distributed broadly among board members. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, giving condominium associations time to update their proxy forms and processes accordingly.
