SB 770 (Allen) – EV Charging Stations
Position: OPPOSE
This proposed legislation would delete the requirement for a homeowner that installs an EV charger in the association’s common area to obtain a certificate of insurance that names the association as an additional insured.
Status: Passed the Senate, awaiting referral in the Assembly
SB 625 (Wahab) – Housing Developments: disasters: reconstruction of destroyed or damaged structures.
Position: OPPOSE UNLESS AMENDED
This bill would make any rule or document unenforceable if it blocks the rebuilding of a similar home after a declared disaster. It also creates an expedited architectural review process for rebuilding after a declared disaster.
Status: Passed the Senate, awaiting referral in the Senate
SB 681 (Wahab) – Housing: HOA Fine Caps
Position: OPPOSE
This bill, among other things, creates a one size fits all approach that would place an arbitrary cap on the fines issued by HOAs at $100 per violation.
Status: Passed the Senate, awaiting referral in the Assembly
SB 677 (Wiener) – Streamlined Approvals
Position: OPPOSE
The proposed legislation seeks to prevent homeowner associations from imposing Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) that prohibit or unreasonably restrict housing developments or urban lot splits on single-family zoned districts statewide.
Status: Senate Housing – Failed passage
AB 21 (DeMaio) – Association Management and Meeting Procedures
Position: OPPOSE
This proposed legislation seeks to make unnecessary changes to 14 sections of the Davis Stirling Act and adds 2 new sections dealing with association management and meeting procedures. Most changes would drastically increase cost and exposure to litigation.
Status: Assembly Housing and Community Development – Failed passage

Buck A Door Or More Campaign
Monitoring, advocating, and promoting grassroots efforts to support or oppose legislation is a costly venture, spending approximately $156,000 annually on these efforts. To maintain our high level of success, CAI-CLAC needs your help. We are asking you to consider approving a line item in your annual fiscal budget to help support CAI-CLAC’s Buck A Door Or More fundraising campaign.
The Buck A Door Or More campaign is meant to give each household the opportunity to support our advocacy efforts by simply donating $1 per door. For example, if your association consists of 100 units, we are asking for a contribution of $100 (or more) for CAI-CLAC. Donations are for legislative advocacy, not political contributions.
We’ve made donating easy! Simply make your contribution online. To learn more about why your donation is critical, you can read more here.
Thank you for your support!
