The Davis-Stirling Act Is Going To Be Reorganized

On August 17, the Davis-Stirling Reorganization Bill (Assembly Bills 805 and 806) was signed into law. Assembly Bill 805 will relocate the Davis-Stirling Act to a different part of the California Civil Code and Assembly Bill 806 will update the many references to the Act in other parts of the statutes to reflect the new statute numbers.
The purpose of this Bill is to reorganize and clarify the law governing common interest developments. There will also be a few changes made to the laws governing common interest developments, such as governing document amendments, granting exclusive use of common areas to members, board member conflicts of interest, and obtaining reimbursement for common area damages. The new Assembly Bills will not go into affect until January 1, 2014, to allow time for homeowners, Board members, and industry professionals to become acquainted with the reorganization.
The Judge Law Firm looks forward to assisting our clients and management companies in 2013 with undertanding the changes and how the changes will impact their communities.
