2) specify that condominium bylaws could be changed by a majority of condominium unit owners with voting rights (under current law the method for amending bylaws is specified in the bylaws); and



3) allow 80% of the owners of units, or any larger percentage specified in the declaration, to prohibit or materially restrict permitted uses or occupancy of a unit or the number or other qualification of persons who could occupy units.
