community or condominium association to call and provide written notice for a special meeting to

The Senate adopted a strike-everything amendment that does the following: 
 
Overview 
Deems the members of the board of directors are removed from office if the board fails to call, 
notice and hold a special meeting on removing a board member. 
History 
An association of condominiums or planned communities are for -profit, nonprofit or 
unincorporated associations of owners created under a declaration to operate portions of common 
ownership and obligations. The associations can assess fees and costs to members for payment 
of these obligations (A.R.S. §§ 33-1202, 33-1241, 33-1802).  
Upon receipt of a petition that calls for the removal of a member of the board of directors, the 
board must call for a special meeting of the association and provide for written notice of the 
meeting. For an association with 1,000 members or fewer, the petition must have the signatures 
of at least 25% of the eligible voters. For an association with more than 1,000 members, the 
petition must have the signatures of at least 10% of the eligible voters. The special meeting must 
be called, noticed and held within 30 days of the receipt of the petition. For a meeting at which a 
member of the board is proposed to be removed: 1) the unit owners who are eligible to vote at 
the time of the meeting may vote to remove any eligible member of the board by a majority vote; 
2) the meeting must be called by the board as prescribed by statute and action may be taken only 
if a quorum is present; and 3) the unit owners may remove any member of the board with or 
without cause (A.R.S. §§ 33-1243 and 33-1813).  
Provisions 
1. Stipulates the members of a board of directors of a condominium or a planned community 
association are deemed to be removed from office if the board fails to call, notice and hold a 
special meeting on the removal of a board member within 30 days after receiving the petition 
that calls for removal of a board member.
