Connecticut requires association board meetings to be open to unit owners, with at least five days' notice and a chance for owners to comment. Closed executive sessions are limited to specific matters and allow no final votes. Owners also have broad rights to inspect association records.
Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47-250 provides that meetings “shall be open to the unit owners,” except for executive sessions limited to matters such as legal advice, litigation, personnel and sensitive contracts; “no final vote or action may be taken during an executive session.” Notice of each executive board meeting must be given to owners “at least five days before the meeting,” and owners must get a reasonable chance to comment. Section 47-260 requires the association to maintain financial records, minutes, owner and voting lists, contracts and design-approval records, and make them available to owners (with limited withholdings like personnel, attorney-client and individual ballots); a reasonable copying fee may apply. CIOA fixes no board member terms—those are set by the bylaws.
No specific statutory penalty—owners may enforce open-meeting and records rights through CIOA's general enforcement provisions, including a court action for compliance, injunctive relief, and recovery of costs.
