This bill strengthens the General Assembly's efforts to ensure that HOA boards conduct the affairs of their associations openly and transparently.
The POAA already provides for emergency meetings, so closing the loophole of boards using the Non-Stock act to work in secrecy is a very good thing.
The CAI/VALAC and their paid lobbyists will be working overtime to kill this bill. We can't let them win. Too often legislators refer to the CAI and their property management companies and HOA attorneys as 'stakeholders' Nope, don't buy it. The real stak holders are the hundreds of thousands of Virginians who live in HOAs that pay their mortgages and assessments, not the HOA industry.
