Bill > HB1834

This bill requires that proxy forms used in common interest communities, which are associations of property owners that manage shared areas and enforce rules, must include specific language and checkboxes. These options allow owners to designate their proxy for quorum purposes only, to a named individual, to the board of directors as a whole, or to directors present at a meeting with votes shared equally. The bill clarifies that if no box is checked or multiple boxes are checked on a proxy form, it will only count towards establishing a quorum, which is the minimum number of members needed for a meeting to be valid. This change aims to provide clearer options for owners when authorizing someone to act on their behalf at community meetings.
