The California Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1973 requires a state, county, or local fire or police agency that is called to an accident involving an employee covered by the act in which a serious injury or illness, or death occurs to immediately notify the nearest office of the Division of Occupational Safety and Health by telephone. Existing law authorizes the assessment of a civil penalty against an employer or physician if a pattern or practice of violations or a willful violation of these or other specified provisions is found, as specified. This bill would revise that immediate notification requirement to apply to accidents in which death or loss of limb occurs and would instead require a responding agency called to an accident in which a serious injury or illness, other than death or loss of limb, occurs, to notify the nearest office of the division by telephone or electronic means within 24 hours.

(1) Existing law requires that a person or firm who will act as a common interest development manager provide specified disclosures to the board of directors of the homeowners association, including whether the prospective manager is certified, holds an active real estate license, and the manager's name and address. This bill would require a manager or a common interest development management firm to disclose specified information before entering into a management agreement. The bill would require a disclosure on whether the manager receives a referral fee from 3rd parties for distributing required documents and an affirmative written acknowledgment that specified documents provided to the manager are the property of the association and not the manager. (2) The Davis-Stirling Common Interest Development Act defines and regulates common interest developments. The act requires a common interest development to be managed by an association. The act requires the association to distribute an annual budget report 30 to 90 days before the end of its fiscal year. Existing law requires the annual budget report to include specified information. This bill would additionally require the annual budget report to contain specified information relating to charges for requesting copies of certain documents from the association. The act requires a prospective managing agent of a common interest development to provide a written statement to the board of the association containing specified information concerning the managing agent. The act also requires the association to provide to the owner of a separate interest, upon request, specified documents. This bill would require that the manager, common interest development management firm, or its contracted agent facilitate the delivery of the documents requested, if this responsibility is required by the management contract. The bill would modify the specified form used to identify the charges for requesting copies of documents held by the association by requiring the form to inform a seller that he or she is not required to purchase all of the documents listed on the form and may purchase some or all of the documents as desired. The bill would also require a prospective manager or prospective management firm of a common interest development when presenting a bid for services to the board to include a disclosure of any conflict of interest, as defined.
