California Codes, Civil Code - CIV, Division 4 — General Provisions, Part 5 — Common Interest Developments, Chapter 9 — Insurance and Liability, Section 5806

Unless the governing documents require greater coverage amounts, the association shall maintain crime insurance, employee dishonesty coverage, fidelity bond coverage, or their equivalent, for its directors, officers, and employees in an amount that is equal to or more than the combined amount of the reserves of the association and total assessments for three months. The coverage maintained by the association shall also include protection in an equal amount against computer fraud and funds transfer fraud. If the association uses a managing agent or management company, the association’s crime insurance, employee dishonesty coverage, fidelity bond coverage, or their equivalent, shall additionally include coverage for, or otherwise be endorsed to provide coverage for, dishonest acts by that person or entity and its employees. Self-insurance does not meet the requirements of this section.

Notes

Requires an association, unless governing documents require more, to maintain crime, employee-dishonesty, fidelity-bond, or equivalent coverage at least equal to reserves plus three months of assessments, with equal computer- and funds-transfer-fraud protection. If a managing agent or company is used, coverage must include its dishonest acts and employees; self-insurance does not qualify.
