HOA Homefront – S.O.S. to State Capitol

Print
The 2021-2022 legislative session is under way and by mid-January the Legislature does not have any HOA bills pending. The past two years were eventful due to 2019’s Senate Bill 323’s substantial changes to the election processes, and 2020’s Assembly Bill 3182’s new protections of rentals within HOAs. In case a legislator or staff member is reading, (or you want to suggest some improvements) here are ideas to HELP California HOAs.
First, resolve the questions remaining about HOA elections. The new law lists only five possible board candidacy disqualifications, so, for example, term limits are apparently barred. Second, the statute references only board candidacy, so can boards fill vacant seats by appointing a person who would be ineligible as a candidate for election to that seat? Third, new Civil Code Section 5100(g) allows board elections by acclamation if the number of eligible candidates after close of nominations equals the number of open positions. However, this opportunity only applies to HOAs with 6,000 or more members — perhaps 10 HOAs statewide. This help should be available to all California’s 50,000 HOAs, so they can forego the expense and effort of sending out ballots if there are not enough candidates for a competitive election.
