This year’s theme is “Take a Walk in Your Park — and Discover
Community.” We are thinking along the lines of celebrating in
your communities, and getting to know your residents even more
than you already do. We are asking exhibitors to decorate using
this theme. What is it that you do to celebrate and create
community? The theme will be festive with a party atmosphere —
face-painting, barbecue, balloons, etc. One of our vendors is
thinking about “Hollywood in the Clubhouse” as their theme. How
fun does that sound?

Western Manufactured Housing Communities Association (WMA) is a
nonprofit organization created in 1945 for the exclusive purpose
of promoting and protecting the interests of owners, operators
and developers of manufactured home communities in California.
California approved a 34 percent increase in Allstate’s average
homeowners insurance premium last week. There’s more of that to
come. State Farm in June requested a 30
percent increase in homeowner rates and even larger
bumps for condominium and renter coverage. That’s after two
increases totaling nearly 27 percent since January 2023.
California’s property insurance crisis is affecting many of the
state’s residents, from homeowners to renters to landlords, in
different ways — and regardless of whether their homes or
buildings are in areas with high wildfire risk.
The End of Session Has Arrived – Legislature Done for
Year
Last Saturday, at just past midnight, the Senate and Assembly
adjourned sine die, which means that no more business may be
conducted for the remainder of the 2023-24 legislative session.
Bills that were not acted on before last Saturday are dead for
the year, and the Governor is now reviewing hundreds of bills
sent to him to either sign or veto by September 30.
Two Days Until Sine Die; Governor has Until September 30
to Sign or Veto Legislation
The California Constitution requires the Legislature adjourn
sine die by midnight on August 31. Any bill not acted on
by that time is dead. Years ago, the Legislature would literally
stop the clock in the Senate and Assembly chambers at 11:59 pm
and then proceed to vote on bills well into the morning hours of
September 1, but the Supreme Court ultimately ruled that August
31 means August 31 – not early in the morning on the first of
September.
Last week, the Senate and Assembly Appropriations Committees
voted on 830 bills on the Suspense File. Of these bills with
significant fiscal impacts on the General Fund, 559 (67%) were
passed onto the full Senate or Assembly for consideration, while
267 were held in Committee (33%).
With the state facing a budget deficit of approximately $50
billion, the Governor will have many hard choices to make, and
most budget experts agree that he will be forced to veto many of
the bills being sent to him by the Legislature.
As of January 1, 2024, employers must generally provide 5 days or
40 hours of paid sick leave to their employees in California. The
Labor Commissioner has updated the paid sick leave poster. All
employers should post the new poster. An employer previously
providing less than 5 days or 40 hours of paid sick leave per
year will need to provide employees a new copy notice.
