Civil Code § 1357.130 - Notice Of Rule Change.

(a) The board of directors shall provide written notice
of a proposed rule change to the members at least 30 days before
making the rule change. The notice shall include the text of the
proposed rule change and a description of the purpose and effect of
the proposed rule change. Notice is not required under this
subdivision if the board of directors determines that an immediate
rule change is necessary to address an imminent threat to public
health or safety or imminent risk of substantial economic loss to the
association.

(b) A decision on a proposed rule change shall be made at a
meeting of the board of directors, after consideration of any
comments made by association members.

(c) As soon as possible after making a rule change, but not more
than 15 days after making the rule change, the board of directors
shall deliver notice of the rule change to every association member.
If the rule change was an emergency rule change made under
subdivision (d), the notice shall include the text of the rule
change, a description of the purpose and effect of the rule change,
and the date that the rule change expires.

(d) If the board of directors determines that an immediate rule
change is required to address an imminent threat to public health or
safety, or an imminent risk of substantial economic loss to the
association, it may make an emergency rule change; and no notice is
required, as specified in subdivision (a). An emergency rule change
is effective for 120 days, unless the rule change provides for a
shorter effective period. A rule change made under this subdivision
may not be readopted under this subdivision.

(e) A notice required by this section is subject to Section 1350.7.
