To declare an emergency with respect to the need to amend, on an emergency basis, the
Condominium Act of 1976 to authorize condominium unit owners’ associations to
conduct virtual meetings and to clarify voting and quorum requirements for such
meetings; and to amend section 29-910 of the District of Columbia Official Code to allow
cooperatives to conduct remote meetings.
RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, That this
resolution may be cited as the “Association Meeting Flexibility Emergency Declaration
Resolution of 2024”.
Sec. 2. (a) Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, virtual meetings have become
routine for many District residents and organizations.
(b) During this time, the Council has repeatedly granted emergency and temporary
flexibility for condominium and cooperative associations to conduct their meetings virtually
without the need to amend their bylaws.
(c) The most recent extension of such flexibilities to condominium and cooperative
associations, the Association Meeting Flexibility Temporary Amendment Act of 2023, will
expire on April 28, 2024.
(d) Emergency legislation is necessary to continue providing these flexibilities to ensure
that all interested associations can readily benefit from virtual meeting capabilities.
Sec. 3. The Council determines that the circumstances enumerated in section 2 constitute
an emergency making it necessary that the Association Meeting Flexibility Emergency
Amendment Act of 2024 be adopted after a single reading.
Sec. 4. This resolution shall take effect immediately.
