Bill > H5156

This bill amends Rhode Island's Condominium Law to expand meeting and notice requirements for condominiums created before July 1, 1982, and to permit remote participation in condominium meetings. Specifically, the bill allows condominiums to conduct meetings via electronic means such as telephonic or video conferencing, ensuring that all participants can simultaneously communicate during the meeting. The bill mandates that electronic meetings satisfy existing quorum and voting requirements and provides guidelines for providing meeting notices electronically. Unit owners can now vote on association matters through electronic platforms, email, or mail-in ballots, and can electronically submit signatures if required by the condominium's declaration or bylaws. Additionally, the bill requires meeting notices to include details like meeting time, place, agenda items, and electronic access information. Unit owners are given the option to opt out of electronic meeting notices at any time. These changes aim to modernize condominium governance by providing more flexible meeting and communication options, particularly for older condominium associations established before 1982.
