What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

California's Assembly Bill 2050 establishes minimum reserve funding requirements for Homeowners Associations (HOAs). The law requires HOAs to set aside at least 15% of their annual gross budgets for reserves until they meet a 30-year funding goal. This state mandate adds to existing requirements from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
