LEGISLATIVE ACTION PICKS UP AT THE STATE CAPITOL CID BILLS BACK IN THE CUE.
By Jennifer Wada, Esq.
Getting “back to normal” may mean in-person gatherings and summer travel, but it also means Sacramento getting back to pushing an overwhelming number of bills. There have been quite a number of changes to CID bills since the last legislative update. Here are some key updates:
AB 502 (Davies) would apply elections by acclamation to all associations. In the last update, the Chair of the Assembly Housing committee was questioning whether to even give the bill a hearing. We are proud to say that after our advocacy efforts in favor of the bill, including a long discussion with the Chair on the merits, AB 502 was not only allowed to proceed, but it was approved unanimously in committee despite opposition from various homeowner groups. CACM’s CEO, Tom Freeley, was the key witness at the hearing. Amendments were taken that would require a regular election to be held at least once every three years and would add a 90-day notice of the nomination process. It has now moved over to the Senate and we are awaiting a hearing in both the Senate Housing and Judiciary committees. We anticipate a more difficult time in the Senate but will be working the bill hard.
