(SACRAMENTO) –Assembly Bill 690 (AB 690) by Assemblywoman Sharon Quirk-Silva (D-Orange County) was signed into law, by Governor Jerry Brown. AB 690 requires Home Owner Associations (HOAs) to deliver, within the annual budget report, an itemized estimate of fees that may be charged by a professional management company for documents necessary to facilitate a real estate transaction. This bill would also require a disclosure on whether the manager receives a referral fee from third parties for distributing required documents.

“I authored this law to help unit owners understand costs associated with the transfer of their homes, and to ensure all parties involved have the tools necessary to make informed decisions,” said Quirk-Silva. “This law makes sure there's more transparency in the process of transferring property, and that there aren't additional fees that are added on or excessive fees for the disclosure documents.”

(SACRAMENTO) – Today, Assemblywoman Sharon Quirk-Silva (D-Orange County), made the following statement after voting in opposition to the cap and trade bill; Assembly Bill 398 (AB 398).  

“This is not the time to raise taxes on the working people, nor is it the time to force more regulations on our economy. The middle and working classes in our communities are hit the hardest with these fees,” said Quirk-Silva. “The bill doesn’t go far enough to protect citizens of Orange County from pollution.”

(SACRAMENTO) – California is home to approximately 1.8 million veterans, of which 180,000 are female. For various reasons, women veterans are less inclined to seek needed veterans benefits than are their male counterparts. Today, Assemblywoman Sharon Quirk-Silva (D-Orange County), principle coauthor of Assembly Bill 296 (AB 296), announces that the bill passed the Senate Committee on Veteran Affairs with bipartisan support. AB 296 will create a task force within California Department of Veteran Affairs (CalVet) to study the health of California’s women veteran population.
