Virtual Membership Meetings May Continue – Assembly Bill 5549 Adopted 1/10/2022

There’s hope for renewed Association immunity legislation yet. On Monday, Assembly Bill 5549 was made law. Assembly Bill 5549 (https://www.njleg.state.nj.us/Bills/2020/A9999/5549_I1.PDF but note that the bracketed language is being deleted) provides that Associations may continue to have remote membership meetings even if there is no state of emergency so long as the Board authorizes and adopts guidelines and procedures governing such meetings. Association Counsel should assist in preparing the required guidelines and procedures.

Thanks to all of you and CAI-NJ’s Legislative Action Committee for continuing to advocate for legislation that is important to Associations. Keep up the good work! Hopefully renewed Association immunity legislation will be in place before pool season.
