Existing law, the Davis-Stirling Common Interest Development Act, governs the formation and operation of common interest developments. Existing law requires that a common interest development be managed by an association. Existing law requires an association of a common interest development to levy regular and special assessments to perform its obligations under the governing documents and the act, as provided. Existing law requires an association to prepare an annual budget report and a policy statement, as specified. Existing law requires the association to either deliver to all members the full report or a summary of the report that includes specified information, on the first page, whenever the annual budget report or a policy statement is prepared, as provided. This bill would require the annual budget report to include a comparison breakdown of the anticipated expenses of the previous fiscal year versus actual expenditures of the previous fiscal year and a statement regarding compensation of a management company, as provided. The bill would require a summary of an annual budget to also include the comparison breakdown and the statement regarding compensation of a management company, as specified. Existing law prohibits increases in regular assessments for any fiscal year, unless the board complies with certain requirements, including certain information in its annual budget report. Existing law prohibits an association from increasing regular assessments by more than 20 percent, without the approval of a majority of a quorum of members. This bill would prohibit an association from increasing a regular assessment, unless the board includes the above-referenced information pertaining to regular assessments. The bill would, instead, prohibit a board from increasing regular assessments by more than 8%, without the approval of the majority of a quorum of members. Existing law requires the association to notify a member 10 days before a meeting to consider or impose discipline on a member, or a monetary charge, as a means of reimbursing the association for costs incurred by the association in the repair of damage to the common area and facilities caused by a member, as provided.

Maddy summaryThis bill designates May 31, 2026, as World No Tobacco Day within the state.

The measure does not change existing policies or affect specific individuals beyond encouraging public health awareness on this specific date.

Existing law establishes the Medi-Cal program, which is administered by the State Department of Health Care Services and under which qualified low-income individuals receive health care services. The Medi-Cal program is, in part, governed and funded by federal Medicaid program provisions. Existing law sets a schedule of benefits that are covered by the Medi-Cal program. The federal Medicaid program prohibits payment to a state for medical assistance furnished to an alien who is not lawfully admitted for permanent residence or otherwise permanently residing in the United States under color of law. Existing state law extends Medi-Cal eligibility for the full scope of Medi-Cal benefits to individuals who do not have satisfactory immigration status if they are otherwise eligible for those benefits, with the exception of specified dental benefits for individuals who are 19 years of age or older. Existing law makes an individual who is 19 years of age or older, who does not have satisfactory immigration status, and who applies for Medi-Cal on or after January 1, 2026, or loses eligibility for eligibility for full-scope Medi-Cal on or after January 1, 2026, eligible only for pregnancy-related services and emergency medical treatment. Existing law, beginning no sooner than July 1, 2027, as specified, requires individuals who do not have satisfactory immigration status, who are not pregnant, and who are 19 to 59 years of age, inclusive, to pay a monthly premium of $30, subject to certain exceptions. This bill would require the Director of the Department of Finance to determine and report to the Legislature and the Governor the cost of implementing eligibility for the full scope of Medi-Cal benefits for individuals who do not have satisfactory immigration status if they are otherwise eligible, and whether including those costs the General Fund would be in a deficit, as defined. The bill would then, on January 1 of the year following such a determination, end the above-described limitations on services for those who apply for Medi-Cal after January 1, 2026, or who lose eligibility for the full-scope of Medi-Cal benefits on or after January 1, 2026, thereby making an individual who is 19 years of age or older, who does not have satisfactory immigration status, eligible for the full scope of Medi-Cal benefits subject to certain limitations, such as the payment of premiums and certain dental benefits. The bill would require that the implementation of eligibility for the full-scope of Medi-Cal benefits be done by groups categorized by age, beginning with individuals over 49 years of age. Because counties are required to make Medi-Cal eligibility determinations and this bill would alter Medi-Cal eligibility, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
This measure would recognize May 10, 2026, as the 119th annual Mother's Day and would urge all Californians to recognize, appreciate, and be grateful for the gifts and good works of mothers on that day.
