After a few quiet years in Sacramento regarding HOAs, California’s legislature is quite active this year with at least eight bills proposing to affect HOAs in 2024. Assembly Bill 648 would, if passed, allow HOAs to have purely virtual or telephonic meetings without having a physical location announced for those not wishing to participate virtually or telephonically. Assembly Bill 288, authored by Assembly member Brian Maienschein of North San Diego County, adopts California Law Revision Commission recommendations. Civil Code 5551, enacted in 2020, requires all HOAs to have visual inspections of exterior elevated elements within the HOA’s maintenance or repair responsibility. Assembly Bill 1101, authored by Assembly member Heath Flora of the San Joaquin Valley, would add a third allowable inspector as an option, a Branch 3 registered pest control company.
