After wildfire survivor testimony, the committee moved SB 877 and SB 878 forward on June 17.

The June 17 hearing moved several insurance bills forward after testimony from fire survivors, consumer advocates and industry groups.

The bill would create statewide inspection, testing and remediation standards for smoke-damaged homes after wildfires. It now moves to the next step in the legislative process.

At an Assembly hearing on the SB 254 report, wildfire survivors urged faster compensation and emergency housing relief financed by utilities rather than taxpayers.
