California Governor Newsom recently signed five bills into law that impact the way homeowners associations are run. The new laws include two assembly bills, AB 1101 and AB 502, and three senate bills, SB 391, SB 392, and SB 432. Two of these, namely AB 502 and SB 432, make significant changes to the election process of HOAs in the state. Others affect communication methods associations use and further protect associations from fraud, embezzlement, and other forms of dishonesty.
