WUCIOA, Changes in Meetings

Meeting WUCIOA

You may know that the WUCIOA budget and reserve statutes apply to all condos and HOAs, but you may not have heard that as of January 1, 2026, the WUCIOA meetings provision at RCW 64.90.445 applies to all communities as well. The new meetings provisions are quite different from all of the previous community law statutes that your bylaws were written to match, so the change is going to be significant. Sign up to learn about what the new law requires and how different it may be from your existing practices.

Presenter Marlyn Hawkins, managing partner of Community Association Law Group will also share tips and tricks about:

how to transition to the new provision,
how to educate your community members about the changes, and
what steps can be taken to ensure that your community is compliant with the new requirements.
