Bill Summary

This bill requires age-restricted planned real estate developments to provide options for remote meeting access. A "planned real estate development" is a term defined in the "The Planned Real Estate Development Full Disclosure Act," P.L.1977, c.419 (C.45:22A-21 et seq.) to encompass communities governed by homeowners' associations, condominiums, and cooperative communities. The bill defines an "age-restricted development" as a planned real estate development that is age-restricted in compliance with federal law. Specifically, the bill requires the association of an age-restricted development to provide one or more reasonable options to accommodate remote attendance of an executive board meeting, except for a conference or working session at which no binding votes are to be taken. Reasonable options to accommodate remote attendance are to include group in-person virtual options in an accessible room, and other options authorized pursuant to the rules and regulations adopted by the Commissioner of Community Affairs (commissioner). The remote attendance options offered by an association are not to be limited exclusively to options that require access though a resident's computer in their dwelling unit. The bill directs the commissioner to adopt rules and regulations necessary to effectuate the provisions of the bill on or before the first day of the fourth month following enactment. The bill is to take effect on the first day of the fifth month following enactment, except the commissioner is required to take anticipatory action necessary to effectuate the provisions of the bill on or before the first day of the fourth month next following enactment.

AI Summary

This bill requires age-restricted planned real estate developments (communities like homeowners' associations, condominiums, and cooperatives that are restricted to residents meeting specific age requirements) to provide reasonable options for remote attendance at executive board meetings. The bill specifically mandates that these associations offer multiple ways for residents to participate in meetings remotely, such as group virtual options in an accessible room, and ensures that remote attendance is not limited only to computer access within a resident's home. The remote attendance requirement does not apply to conference or working sessions where no binding votes will be taken. The Commissioner of Community Affairs is directed to develop rules and regulations implementing these requirements within four months of the bill's enactment, and the bill will take effect on the first day of the fifth month following enactment. The bill defines an "age-restricted development" as a community that complies with federal "housing for older persons" exceptions, specifically those outlined in the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988.
