Proposed bill SB 1076 Would Require Insurers Provide Policies for Wildfire-Hardened Homes
Senator Perez introduced a new California state bill, SB 1076, which would require insurers to offer or renew homeowners coverage for property owners who complete specified wildfire-risk reduction steps (like defensible space and home hardening), aiming to curb nonrenewals in high-risk areas. Insurers argue it could undermine risk-based underwriting.
