Pending AB 502: an HOA Acclamation Bill I Can’t Cheer For

9/23/2021

 
In her 1996 hit single “Ironic,” Canadian pop star Alanis Morissette bemoans traffic jams when you’re already late, free rides when you’ve already paid, and a laundry-list of other unfortunate events, none of which are actually ironic. Thus - ironically - the only irony in her song is its title.

In its 2021 pending Assembly Bill 502, the California Legislature hits a similar note. Ostensibly introduced to permit election by acclamation for all HOAs, AB 502’s laundry-list of legal malapropisms will reduce the practice for most, bar it for some, and add yet more cost and complexity to board elections. The bill is currently on the Governor's desk awaiting his seemingly-inevitable signature.

Edit: the Governor signed AB 502 on October 5th. The bill will take effect on January 1st.
