AB 1720, as introduced, Wagner. Common interest developments: meetings.
Existing law requires an association managing a common interest development to provide notice of the time and place of a board meeting and authorizes any member of the association to attend board meetings, except when the board adjourns to, or meets solely in, executive session. Existing law also requires the board to permit any member to speak at any meeting, except for executive session meetings.
This bill would require the board to permit an attorney who represents a member to attend board meetings, and would require written notice to be given, as specified.
