BILL NUMBER:  AB 1726
  VETOED	DATE: 09/30/2010




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 1726 without my signature.

This bill would allow a homeowners association (HOA) of a common
interest development (CID) unable to achieve a quorum for a member
meeting or an election of directors to lower the quorum requirement
for the second election to 40% and for the third or additional
elections to 33%, unless otherwise specified in the CID's governing
documents.

I believe that this bill is unnecessary because existing law allows a
HOA to amend its governing documents to establish a lower quorum.  I
am also concerned that this bill would interfere with the basic
democratic principle of CIDs.

For these reasons I cannot sign this bill.

Sincerely,



Arnold Schwarzenegger
