Bill > HB2606

This bill amends Arizona law to clarify and expand homeowners' association (HOA) members' rights to access association records, applying to both condominiums and planned communities. It specifies that members can request records if their request is made in good faith, clearly states their purpose and the specific records sought, and ensures those records are directly relevant to their stated purpose. The bill also clarifies that records available online are considered reasonably accessible and sets a fee of no more than $0.15 per page for copies, which must be paid when the copies are provided. Importantly, the bill defines what constitutes "financial and other records" that HOAs must make available, including governing documents, owner lists, meeting minutes from the past three years (excluding executive sessions), budgets, assessments, financial statements, audits, contracts, and insurance policies. It also reiterates that HOAs can withhold records related to attorney-client privilege, pending litigation, personal information of individuals, and employee performance or complaints, and adds that records previously provided to a member do not need to be disclosed again.
