HRS §421C-23

When the association can buy back your membership

This section lets the association's rules allow directors to use extra money to buy back a member's shares or membership if they are more than needed. It also lets directors buy the required amount in cases like inactivity, expulsion, or death. The bought-back shares are then reissued or canceled.
