RULE:

Electronic Transmission of Notices

PURPOSE:

The 2003 Legislature enacted changes to the Condominium Act (Chapter 718, Florida Statutes) that permits the use of electronic transmission for purposes of noticing elections and certain meetings with the prior consent of unit owners. The new rule defines “electronic transmission,” provides for the association’s adoption of bylaws for the electronic notice of meetings and for providing notice when it decides to stop noticing meetings by electronic transmission, describes the method by which unit owners may consent and revoke consent, delivery of notices and attachments, receipt of an electronic transmission, and provides that electronic addresses and other information is part of the association’s official records unless the owner has revoked consent to the use of electronic transmissions.

SUMMARY:

This proposed rule addresses the noticing of condominium elections and meetings through the use of electronic transmission.
