Quorum requirements; rules of order

(a) Unless the bylaws otherwise provide, a quorum is present throughout any meeting of the unit owners if persons entitled to cast 20% of the votes in the association: (1) Are present in person or by proxy at the beginning of the meeting; (2) have cast absentee ballots solicited in accordance with the association's procedures which have been delivered to the secretary in a timely manner; or (3) are present by any combination of paragraphs (1) and (2). (b) Unless the bylaws specify a larger number, a quorum of the board of directors is present for purposes of determining the validity of any action taken at a meeting of the board of directors only if individuals entitled to cast a majority of the votes on that board are present at the time a vote regarding that action is taken. If a quorum is present when a vote is taken, the affirmative vote of a majority of the board members present is the act of the board of directors unless a greater vote is required by the declaration or bylaws. (c) Except as otherwise provided in the bylaws, meetings of the association must be conducted in accordance with the most recent edition of Roberts' Rules of Order Newly Revised. (d) This section shall take effect on and after January 1, 2011.
