The legislation was sponsored by Senator Troy Singleton, Assemblywoman Yvonne Lopez, Assemblyman Sterley S. Stanley, and Assemblywoman Tennille R. McCoy.

Reserve Study Standards

One of the primary responsibilities of the board of directors of a community association is to protect, maintain, and enhance the assets of the association. To accomplish this objective, associations must develop multiyear plans to help them anticipate and responsibly prepare for ongoing preventive maintenance, periodic structural inspections, as well as for the timely repair and replacement of common area components such as roofs, roads, mechanical equipment, and other portions of the community’s common elements.
