Common interest developments: electric vehicle charging stations owned by members in common areas.

Removed the requirement (former subdivision (f)(1)(B)) that an owner of an EV charging station in a common area must, if requested by the association, enter into a maintenance and indemnity agreement transferring liability from the association to the owner for injury or damage arising from the charging station. This reduces the conditions under which an association can shift liability to individual owners.

The formal enrolled document layout (including Secretary of the Senate stamp, Chief Clerk of the Assembly stamp, Governor approval line, and chapter heading) was replaced with a standard web page layout including site navigation, search tools, version history links, and status information. The underlying statutory text of Section 4745 of the Civil Code is identical in both versions.

Owners installing EV charging stations in common areas must now enter into a maintenance and indemnity agreement with the association if requested, transferring liability for injury or damage arising from the charging station from the association to the owner.

The approval conditions were restructured from a single list of four obligations (A-D) into two categories: (A) written agreements covering architectural standards, licensed contractor, insurance certificate, and cost payment; and (B) the new maintenance and indemnity agreement requirement, with language changed from 'agrees in writing to do all of the following' to 'does both of the following, as applicable.'

The installer indemnification provision was changed from 'caused by the installation, maintenance, or use of the electric vehicle charging station' to 'caused by the installation, maintenance, or use installation of the electric vehicle charging station,' which appears to be a drafting error adding the word 'installation' after 'use.'
