<p class="MsoNormal">A condo association I represent wants to ban fireworks in the units and the common areas the jurisdiction in which the condos are located allows limited fireworks. Can the board of the association adopt a rule banning the same and then
have it approved a majority vote of units owners at a meeting or does such an action require an amendment to the declaration. The declaration is silent on the subject but does give the Board the authority to adopt rules and regulations concerning use and maintenance
of the common areas. Thanks for your input<o:p></o:p></p>
