AB 2692 was signed by the Governor on August 24, 2026, and adds Civil Code Section 4276 to the Davis-Stirling Common Interest Development Act in response to the 2025 Palisades and Eaton Fires in Los Angeles.
The bill establishes a process by which homeowners associations in the County of Los Angeles whose CC&Rs have expired by operation of their initial-term provisions may reinstate those CC&Rs, provided the reinstatement is approved by the percentage of members required under the CC&Rs for extending their term (or by a majority of all members if the CC&Rs are silent on that point).
Once approved, the reinstatement takes effect upon certification of the member vote by the designated officer (or the association president) and recording of the CC&Rs with the County Recorder’s Office. The reinstated CC&Rs’ term is extended by the initial term of the CC&Rs or 20 years, whichever is less.
Enacted as an urgency statute with immediate effect, and applicable only to Los Angeles County, the law is set to sunset on January 1, 2028.
